El Cucuy - New Orleans

If you drive by here all the time like I did STOP AND EAT HERE! The food is amazing, the staff is wonderful and the vibe is right.

I really wanted to like this place. The sauce that came with my taco was sweet and not spicy. I don’t understand these people that come here and think they are going to show us something new by using sugar as a secret ingredient. Just stop it. It’s gross. Nobody needs sugar on their taco. Never again.

Super cute local spot. Only tried their happy hour drinks. Palomas were delish and the birria tacos super good as well. It was getting crowded around 530pm or so.

I really wanted to like this place. The decor is awesome. It gives lucha libre meets new orleans hipster vibes. But, let's talk about the food and cocktails- which is why I went. I ordered the guacamole and chips, fish tacos, and shrimp queaadilla. The guac was lacking tomatoes, onion, and cilantro. The fish tacos were extremely spicy (no need for the red or green picante salsa served on the side), and the quesadilla was just ok. It had red sauce, not sure why.I ordered the Michelada Tecate Beer. After two sips, I couldn't finish it. Post dinner, we ordered the Churros with spicy chocolate syrup. Being a born and raised Cuban from Miami, I can confirm that churros are not dipped in cinnamon, but white sugar. I really wanted to like this place, but 2/5 do not recommend.And for whomever was running their account two years ago, is completely unprofessional and a douche. Because their replies are petty and lack acceptance of subpar food at their restaurant.

The Shrimp Tacos,Barriria and The Grimace purple Margarita perfect all together..
