This place is why we stay in New Orleans

by VballcoachG

My wife and I stay in New Orleans at least once a month. We always stay in the Garden district and love Superior Grill. My wife loves the ribs. Last time I have the beef brisket tacos and they were the most unique tacos I ahve ever had. The margaritas are always good too and it is just a short ride to down town if you want to have fun. It is a Mexican restaurant and you do have the feel of Mexico when you are there.

Someone Should Shut This Place Down!!!

by kingcraig

We visited the Superior Grill on a Friday during lunch, while visiting New Orleans. We were looking for something authentic to New Orleans and the name of the restaurant sounded like it would be. Our first notion this was not an authentic N O restaurant was when we saw baskets of tortilla chips. The Superior Grill turned out to be your "run of the mill" mexican restaurant. My wife and I, and our two 4 year olds, decided to stay, that is where we went wrong. We should have left!! When the waters came to the table, my glass and straw looked like it had been used (food all over them). The same occured with my wife's coke. I ordered another drink and the same happened with the second drinks, food particles floating in the drinks. I discovered all the drinks came from the bar and know from experience, bartenders don't clean glasses. We ordered chicken strips for the kids and split a taco. The chicken strips came out with black particles in the batter which turned out to be grill marks. They took grilled chicken and battered it and deep fried it. I tasted it and it was a terrible combination. Our taco came out on a very used plate, with dried particles of food on the plate. Neadless to say, we did not eat any. Where we sat we got to watch the bus boy, aka: server, aka: chip distributer; clean tables, using the previous customers napkins. Then go back into the back and scoop chips to be served. Never once washing his hands and sometimes wiping his hands with the same nampkins the previous customer used and the table he quickly wiped down. He also carried out waters to tables and was holding the glasses with his palms over the glass opening and on at least one occasion with his fingers in the glass opening to carry the glasses. The is a heatlh crissis waiting to happen. Highly Recommend to GO SOMEWHERE ELSE, unless you like eating someone elses food!!!

• Pros: None
• Cons: Dirty Plates, Forks, Straws, and Glasses = Bad Food

Highly overrated

by tpsaul129

We recently had dinner at Superior Grill. The restaurant came highly recommended to us from several people but we were very disappointed. The service was very bad. Our server seemed put off by fact that he had to wait on us. Service can be an isolated incident but the food was very disappointing. When we go out for Mexican food we expect a lot of flavor in the cooking. Our dinners were very bland and tasted very Americanized like any dish you could get at any chain Mexican restaurant. On top of that the food was poorly prepared and not fresh. One of my enchiladas was supposed to be spinach and cheese. The spinach was clearly packaged frozen spinach that was not drained. Not only was it not fresh but it made the whole enchilada soggy. My girlfriend ordered a dish that had diced chicken in it. Once again the chicken was clearly pre cooked, packaged, then reheated. There was no attempt to flavor the chicken at all. The margaritas were very good but, like the rest of the meal, was overpriced for what you got.

We prefer more authentic Mexican restaurants that add more flavor to their dishes. We were very suprised that in a city with such good restaurants Superior Grill came so highly recomended.
