The food was only okay. I would go back for the frozen marg. The person taking our order was very quiet and hard to hear but had great are a for the mixing of the frozen marg. The music and outdoor seating were awesome!

My wife and I have been coming here since the soft opening, and we keep coming back for more! The tacos al pastor are absolutely delicious and crafted with care, and honestly every taco and side we’ve tried has been outstanding. Their drinks are always fresh and refreshing, which makes the whole experience even better.
The décor is spot-on for the location—fun, inviting, and full of personality. The Fanta Orange theme throughout makes you feel like you’ve stepped into the Disneyland of tacos, but the flavors stay true to authentic Mexican street tacos cooked on a trompo. The ambiance is perfect, and the staff is always friendly and welcoming.
One of the best parts? They’re open after midnight on weekends, which makes this a fantastic late-night stop. Whether it’s dinner or a midnight craving, this is the place you’ll want to come back to again and again.
If you love tacos, you’ll love Taquerias Carnalito. Highly recommend!

We stopped in for the grand opening excited to eat CDMX style tacos and, boy, they did not disappoint. This is the Mexican food that New Orleans needed and deserves. Carne on a spit with tons of flavor, we sampled most of the menu and everything was absolutely delicious. This place oozes authenticity—the culture and vibe was bright and alive. I especially loved the traditional CDMX taco stand style seating—it brought me back to one of my favorite places on earth, La ciudad de México. ¡Este gringo volverá una y otra vez!

We are on a constant quest for good tacos and this place absolutely hit the spot. We tried several things on the menu (al pastor, sirloin black angus, gringas, volcanes & guac) and then ordered more! It was fun to step out of our NOLA routine. Service was excellent and my husband was thrilled to find real Mexico City-style tacos.

The food was great, a little pricey for tacos but still really great for the area. I really like the al pastor taco ( pork with a piece of pineapple on top. The sweetness really elevates it) and the valcanes (on the Tostada with a bunch of cheese on top). The elote had a smoky flavor and i really like it. A little spicy. The only comment i would make is the seating area by the glass has a bunch of t-shirt over my head and the top of my head kept brushing against the shirt and im only 5’5.

The place is quite small but very fast paced service. I tried pretty much all the tacos, all tasted amazing. The price is what gave me to give it a 4 star because no 2 street tacos should cost $10.99 in my opinion. I didn’t try their alcohol beverages but will be returning to try other stuff on the menu. I give the corn a 10, very spicy . The scratch off is a very cool concept.

Love the ambience of the local, the food was really good! Tried the Orchata las aguas frescas and can say that it tasted just right! Definitely took Stefanies recommendations and tried the Volcanes of Sirloin it was really good! Had the tacos all 3 flavors and styles and was very content with the food! I definitely recommend you to try it all.

Al pastor tacos were delicious. Authentic. Nice lil salsa bar with good amount of options. Ordered a corona to go with my tacos. Would definitely come back here. Places to sit inside or outside. I spent under $20 for one person.

I stopped by today to try out something new and BOY DID THIS PLACE EXCEED MY EXPECTATIONS. Wow. I am thoroughly impressed by the staff and the cashier was amazingly sweet.. because it my first time there she recommended the best tacos and she did not lead us astray. This restaurant lives up to its name— These are the best tacos in New Orleans!!

I live in California so I thought I had seen a good Taqueria – well I realize I was wrong when I stopped by at Carnalito. The staff, the juicy taco, and a wide variety of legit and delicious salsas make everything in California look boring and shabby.
I highly recommend checking them out.
