Was Véronique LECHEVALIER at Babalu a mag?
Highly recommend coming here, suggest calling ahead for a table though because it was packed but worth the 20-30 minute wait. The other option is to sit at the bar. Either seem good. The duck tacos were simple and yet unique and still delicious. TheCinnamon Bread Pudding stole the show for me. Coming back here soon for more View all feedback.

What Nikki Hartmann dislikes about Babalu:
Went on early Sunday, few tables not busy. Staffs are very friendly and helpful. My favorite was a duck taco and my daughter liked the guacamole. Everything was fresh and alot of flavors. Specially liked the cumin taste on the salad. Music choice was wonderful but it was too loud to be in comfort View all feedback.

Big restaurant in downtown Memphis, really cool vibes, AMAZING TACOS AND GUAC. This is one of those cool restaurants where they come out and make the guac in front of you, so I would definitely order. The cauliflower tacos were small, and expensive which usually turns me off but these were just so good that I couldn't resist liking them!

Great place for brunch, mimosas were excellent. Notified the waitress I was vegan and she made sure to tell me which modifications I needed to make. I got the grilled artichoke (no aioli) and a black bean burger which she had made for me with no egg. Delicious!

Very busy on a Saturday but we were seated in a timely manner. The food was very good! (I?m partial to the one in Jackson). Service was excellent. Table side guacamole is the best!!!
