Panchita's - New Orleans

Great little Mexican restaurant. Large menu and tasty food. I liked the Carne Assada. I would like to go back and have the margaritas and try more of this authentic Mexican food.

Fresh, authentic, delicious and so affordable. I grew up in San Diego and have a deep appreciation for Mexican food. I tried the fish tacos which came with beans and rice. Our friend recommended the 'arbol ' sauce, a deep red smokey chili pepper sause and it was excellent. This place gets a 10 out of 10.

Home Made Central American Cuisine. Since it was fourth of July and my husband had off from work we decided to visit on of our favorite parts of New Orleans Carrollton Avenue. We wanted some authentic home made Central American food so we went to Panchita's. It was about one thirty when we got there and the place was packed (we had to wait about five minutes for a table to come available). The menu is pretty large so it took us a fee minuets to decide while we ate tortilla chips and salsa. My husband ordered the tamal de barbacoa while I had the milanese de rus con papas. The food took about half an hour to be prepared but it was clear when it arrived that it was made to order and very authentic. We finished our meal by sharing a flan. I wish I lived closer so I could frequent this restaurant more!

Right down the street to my house. Love the carne asada! Must try it out!

We stopped by Panchitas on a whim, and we didn't regret our decision! The complimentary chips and salsa/mole was delicious followed by tacos, quesadillas, and a specialty dish. The tacos aren't the typical americanized fare, but rather seasoned meat, onions, cilantro, and sauce... Tacos as they *need* to be. I highly recommend the al pastor and the pollo! The wife had a vegetarian quesadilla and equally raved about hers as well.<br/ <br/ Overall- we were very happy with the choice we made. I was disappointed that the Thai place next door had just shut down their kitchen, but the tacos more than made up for it.
