Editorial Review for Superior Grill – by Maura York
The Scene
The windowed dining rooms glow with colored light-strings and neon signs for domestic and Mexican cervezas. The formality of white-clothed tables and red-brick walls is further softened by ethnic bric-a-brac and a festively decorated bar area, while the open kitchen gives bustle to the laid-back atmosphere. Ceiling fans and sweet margaritas make the long covered patio comfortable, even in summer.
The Food
Complimentary chips and salsa are worth nibbling, but save room--the restaurant lives up to its name portion-wise. Start with the Superior quesadillas, starring either chicken or beef mesquite grilled; a half-order is enough for two diners awaiting entrees. Two mini taco salads made with ground beef or chicken comprise the crispy puff taco dinner, and the Superior burrito is a behemoth of traditional tortilla-wrapped fixings awash in a creamy cheese sauce--both come with refried beans and Mexican rice.

Insider Tips
Que SeraThe spirit of the hallowed meet-market that once occupied the Superior Grill space is resurrected during Wednesday's 3-for-1 happy hour from 4pm to 8pm. That crowd is young, upwardly mobile and not necessarily hungry for Mexican food.

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.

We always have the best time ever when we go to Superior Grill. Everything from the food to the drinks to the service is the best I've had in NOLA. The view from the patio is awesome and it's great for the kiddos, too!!! Try the shrimp brochetas (jumbo butterfly shrimp stuffed with cheese and wrapped in bacon)...they're CRAVABLE!!! It's ALWAYS our first stop when we visit NOLA!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!
Pros: Exceptional food!!!
