this is one of my favorite places to go. When i get friends or family to visit this is the first place i take them to go out to eat. No matter what you oder everything is great and the service is wonderful. Sometimes there is a line to get in but dont let that stop you from waiting cause it worth the wait and really you dont wait long. they also have latin music in the background makes you want to get up and dance. Also their maragrita's are great go try i promise it will be one of your favorite places.

Pros: great service

Cons: parking

I don't know of anyone who has ever had a bad experience at Taqueria Corona, and can't possibly explain the one bad review on this site. The food is perfect, authentic Mexican at a dirt cheap price. The fish tacos and black bean soup are among the best I've ever had - this coming from someone who lived in Texas for 10 years, and has traveled extensively through Mexico. The service and ambience are basic, but that isn't what you go there for. The Best Mexican in Uptown New Orleans by far, and can hold its own with any Mexican restaurant in New Orleans and beyond.

Pros: Food

Cons: Parking

This place is great if you want to eat mexican food. Don't let the cheap prices fool you. This food is GOOD. It's nothing fancy (not at all, really), but super delicious. The employees may not speak English all that well, but at least they know how to make good grub. I highly recommend this place to anyone who needs a quick and satisfying bite to eat.

Pros: DELICIOUS FOOD

Cons: Servers speak 'okay' English

The Mexican food here is NOT GOOD. Not even relative to the few choices there are for Mexican fare in New Orleans. From the salsa to the tacos, the flavor and consistency is all wrong. The service also seems to have a hard time handling a crowd. Not Recommended

I could eat a fish taco from Taqueria Corona every day! Crispy fish and cabbage, spicy and creamy sauce... yum! Also, start with the cebollitas -- salty and limey and DEEE-licious. If you have a problem with communication, remember that for some servers, English is a second language. THAT'S why the food is so good! It's authentic. And cheap -- bonus! Oh -- and best margarits EVER.

Pros: delicious, cheap, many locations

Cons: parking can be hard

Next time you're considering a fast-food value meal, take your cash and hunger to Taqueria -- king-sized burritos, up-sized flavors and big value. And both takeout and dining in offer a better experience than most drive-throughs. Taqueria is a better way to spend your little bit of money.

By far, the best Mexican food in the world, run by El Salvadorians. Roberto the owner greets regulars by name. Black beans and rice for close to nothing, phenomenal guacamole, flautas, and the best tacos al carbon (ask to add cheese if you want). Do yourself a favor and sample one of the combination platters or split one with a friend. No lengthy description needed. If you like Mexican food at all, this place is the BEST. One of my favorite places in New Orleans overall.

Pros: Cheap, friendly

Editor's Review

Serving some of the best tacos in town, this local chain makes it easy to get great authentic (and cheap) Mexican.  See the full editorial review.

Insider Tips

Save Money

Order the two appetizers for $5 special. Pair cebollitas with chips and pico for a tasty traditional setup.
