Taqueria Guerrero

The BEST Mexican I’ve ever had in my life!!! The sauce they bring with the salsa is amazing. This is authentic Mexiacan food and I HIGHLY recommend this place!!!

Nachos are super cheesy and they give you more than your hips should handle. Been here a few times and I can’t get myself to order anything different.

The only Mexican (Central American) food in the New Orleans. Great price, free chips for table, BYOB.

Great food and quick service.
My menudo with Sangria hit the spot and cured my Cruda.
Menudo was a little plain, but served hot.
Serving sizes were great.
People in my group ordered breakfast plates, which looked amazing.
Will be coming back anytime I’m in town again

I love little low key restaurants that serve authentic (I’m no authenticity expert but at least you know it’s not like ‘fusion’!) food! After walking past a few times and thinking «hey! We should come here!» We finally stopped in for dinner on a Sunday night. About 20 minutes later, the place was packed (a good sign!). We ordered the guac… a must if you are dining out with me at a Mexican place. I ordered the camarones a la diabla (spicy shrimp) and the waitress double checked to make sure I knew it was a spicy. It’s one of my favorite dishes so yea. I knew. But man, it was spicy. I love spice but it was bordering too much for me. Luckily it was served with a dish full of non spicy items… rice, beans, lettuce, tortillas. so I was okay.
We didn’t do this, but FYI. you can go next door to the bar to get a to-​go drink and bring it into the restaurant (who does not offer alcoholic beverages). Gotta love NOLA.
We will definitely return!

This Mid-​City Taqueria serves authentic Mexican staples. It is a no-​frills kind of place that doesn’t even have a liquor license to serve Mexican beers, but is happy to send you next door to get something to-​go from their neighbor, The Red Door. They do have lots of Mexican Cokes and other sodas though!
On our last visit we had some beef tacos (3 for $ 7.75) and the bean tostadas (2 for $ 8). The beef was super flavorful and topped with a mix of chopped onions and fresh cilantro and served on doubled corned tortillas. The tosada had generous smears of re-​fried beans, sour cream, guacamole and was topped with some shredded lettuce and crumbled queso fresco.
A little slice of Mexico right here in Mid-​City. It’s the real deal y’all.

I like this place. If you are looking for cheap stereotypical Hispanic décor that is cheap and loud Mexican music playing, this is not your place to go. They also do not serve alcohol. Both times I have come, there have been more hispanics than I have seen in your regular Mexican restaurant, which says something to me.
My first visit I had a steak quesadilla and it was very filling. I seriously could not finish my meal. This last visit today I had the tacos, which come in a set of three and you can mix up the meats. I got two steak and one chicken. These were very flavorful and juicy. Expect the juices to flow down your arms. I got the flan to go, and it was so very rich and creamy.
The restaurant is neat and clean, the servers are very pleasant and friendly. The only reason I am not giving it five stars is for something that is beyond their control, but parking, which is difficult to find. This is a quick, filling meal with no frills or gimmicks, and I really do like it. Keep in mind that this portion of N Carrollton which is busy and makes it difficult to back out if you park in the angle parking in front.

THEY QUIT MAKING THEIR JALAPEÑO SAUCE!
My favorite and primary reason to go there. Why get rid of a creation that is so unique that they sold it by the pint?
MY FRIEND GOT VIOLENTLY ILL ON THEIR BEEF
Tuesday. He’s from Texas. Strong stomach. Said his quesadilla tasted weird. But it was Guerrero so he trusted it. It’s now Sunday and he’s still unsteady.
SAD DAY.
No motivation to return.
…well so much for authenticity it’s back to Superior Grill

As a transplant from Phoenix, Arizona, I’m used to some of the very best Mexican food in the US. I wasn’t expecting to find this level of authenticity here in New Orleans. Until I walked into this place. Authentic as it gets and delicious. It’s nice to have an alternative to chain «mexican» food restaurants here in NOLA, and the price is right. Just a short street car ride down Canal from the French Quarter to mid city, Taqueria Guerrero is more than worth the effort.

I love everything I’ve ever had on the menu. The only thing I’m sad about is no booze and the complementary chips are never warm or very appetizing for that matter. But the food you pay for is amazing! Especially the Chimichanga, tacos, burritos and enchiladas!!!

This is the most authentic Mexican food we have had since moving to NOLA. The beef and chicken we got was freshly cooked and real — not old and dry like some restaurants serve. The menu is small and is Mexican so it was hard to know what you were getting. They bring you a little basket of chips when you arrive and refills cost $ 1.50! What is Mexican without loads of hot chips???

I really really like this place. I’ve come for breakfast and dinner and both of my meals have been very good. The prices are really good too for the amount of food you get. They don’t skimp on portions so usually it’s enough food that me and my husband can share and be full. The green enchiladas are some of the best I’ve ever had. The chips with the green sauce are also bomb. I’m making myself hungry writing this review right now. This is probably the most authentic Mexican food you’ll get in New Orleans.

Obsessed w this place! The tacos are amazing! The baleada is a newfound favorite. Staff rocks.
The wet burrito is HUUUUUGE. The breakfast plates are a great hangover fix.
This is authentic taqueria food at its best.

So, as I wandered into TG for a Sunday evening meal with my two kids in town I had no idea that I would be entering myself into one of the most enduring culinary battles that Mexican Cuisine has known.
Oaxaca Mole vs Puebla Mole.
Now, to be fair, I had grown up loving, eating consuming Oaxaca Mole.
Lighter in color, richer in taste, slightly sweet, slightly spicy with an aroma and flavor pallet to delight and amaze the senses.
I had no idea that Puebla Mole existed, and save it for a deviation from my normal dining choice, I never would have.
You see for me, if I am in this restaurant on a Sunday, or Saturday that means I order the Menudo.
A soup so beautifully flavored and nostalgic it is my go to favorite anywhere I go.
And Guerero makes and amazing Menudo.
However on this night, I decided to venture out and try their Menudo, not knowing how far from my native Menudo this dish would take me.
The dish arrives, and you immediately know this is not your Abuella’s Mole.
Dark. so dark it is almost sinister.
A sprinkling of toasted sesame seeds.
Served with rice and beans, it almost looks like the Mole you are used to. almost.
Then, you bite.
No, this is not the Mole of your childhood, the base is the same, but playing in the background are spices that do not seem to belong there, while at the same time making perfect sense.
You detect Anise, Cinnamon and cloves.
This is a new Mole, at least to me it was.
Now I am not going to take sides in this Mole competition.
At least not that I’ll tell.
I just recommend that you go to Taqueria Guerrero and try their Mole.
It will leave you speechless, and so wishing the chicken they had placed the sauce on had been ten times it’s size.
For while ample in portion, you can never really get enough of this Mole.

Yesterday was my third time going to this great place in a week as I wanted to bring some friends. The first time I went was just a week ago. Love the authentic Mexican fare and all of the servers I have had are very nice, attentive and speak perfect English.
Prices are very reasonable and the green sauce in the squeeze bottle they bring to your table is spicy and wonderful. A friend of mine and I shared the parillada for two yesterday and it was slammin; full of chicken, beef, shrimp, sausage, peppers and onions. Served with two plates of rice, beans, salad, avocado, lime and tortillas. Enchiladas with red sauce and flautas are also great. Check it out…

Solid food. Hefty portions. Reasonably priced. And the atmosphere? Just like the real cheap places of Mexico, lol.
Overall, a great place to eat and chill. If you like soccer, they running it 24 – 7. Too bad they don’t like basketball mas. Peace.

The garlic shrimp was amazing! Large portions and well seasoned! My fiancé had the beef and chicken tacos and thoroughly enjoyed them. This will definitely be a spot we return to! The restaurant is really clean and had a cute texmex vibe in terms of décor. The wait staff was extremely nice and the food came quickly!

I thought I had wrote a review for here before but when things are nice I have no problem writing twice. For starters they have great chips and salsa with an excellent green jalapeño dipping sauce. Taqueria Guerrero was a great experience and one of the best most authentic Mexican meals I have had in New Orleans. I had the enchiladas with verde sauce and it was excellent. My friend had the beef soup and that was ridiculously good with huge pieces of brisket and veggies. Come here for your legit Mexican fix.

impromptu brunch the day after Mardi Gras. we were HANGRY! Stopped by here because we wanted some type of Mexican food with eggs. Yah. Random. So we popped in and ohhh the food was SO DELICIOUS!
I had juevos rancheros — it was amazing! The only con was that I felt like the eggs were a little too salty. Other than that, it was great. And even better — it was NOT cooked with black beans (i do not like black beans). Ohh, delicious and lots of leftovers for a snack.
My partner in crime had steak fajitas, and he loved his as well. I tasted, and I verify — It was. OMG GOOD. I will be back. thank you for being so wonderful!

If you’re a taco fiend like myself accompanied with being a Mid City hermit, this place has got you covered. Don’t just limit yourself to just the tacos only tho. I’ve been here many times over the years and they’ve failed to disappoint each time.
I’ve had numerous dishes all worth mentioning, however my most memorable were the cheese pupusas, the toastadas, the chicken fajita plate, the chicken tacos and chorizo tacos. Basically, if you’re looking for authentic Mexican for ridiculously fair prices, this is your spot.
All of the workers are extremely nice, the guy who usually works the register (at least each time I’ve gone) is one cool dude. English certainly isn’t his first language, but he knows enough to communicate and crack a joke or two.
I highly doubt you’d leave this place unhappy. This spot is yet another perk of being a Mid City trooper, and places seem to keep popping up all around us!
