New Orleans Restaurants

  1. Juan's Flying Burrito

    Juan's is a hipster burrito hangout on a fun and busy block of Magazine St, in the Lower Garden District. Apart from a loud juke box, which rocks the joint day and night, the atmosphere here is strictly post-industrial-utilitarian. But the hefty burritos are good, with some interesting experimental verieties, such as a selection of fajita burritos, a tasty jerk chicken model and a fine little number called a 'veggie punk' burrito.

  2. Liborio Cuban Restaurant

    Business lunchers crowd into this festive Warehouse District establishment for a taste of old Havana. Cuban pork sandwiches are ironed into a flat, melted, savory treat and served with plantains and black beans. You can also get ropa vieja ('old rope,' made with spicy shredded roast beef), roast pork and seafood paella, all excellent.

  3. Taqueria Corona

    A regular crowd of students jams into this casual spot for inexpensive Mexican fare. The menu features a variety of grilled meat and fish tacos prepared on soft, flour tortillas. They're small and packed with flavor, and many can put away two or three for a meal. The burritos are just the right size - not quite gut-busting - and are filled with rice and high quality meats.
