Johnny Sánchez

Funky-chic bistro with Mexican cuisine

Mexican · CBD · $$

Opened by John Besh and Chopped judge Aarón Sánchez, this CBD Mexican brings locally farmed ingredients to street-style tacos and larger plates. The bar leans toward tequila and bourbon, and the sleek interior is accented with colorful chairs, whimsical light fixtures and a mural that nods to the Day of the Dead.

The food was delicious however the wait was a little too long. Ambiance was also fantastic. Service was also really good. The appetizers and the chips and salsa were magnificent. This restaurant would have gotten a five-star if not for the long delay between the appetizer and the entree.

I had a lot of food in NOLA this week as my wife and I were on vacation. One of the dishes that stood out the most to me was the craw fish enchiladas. While there were multiple ingredients, none of the flavors really seemed muddled. You could even taste the corn in the tortillas. The tortillas they make in house were excellent and even used for their chips. You could actually taste the masa and not just the oil like so many other places. We came on a weekday afternoon so it was slow. The atmosphere was tasteful and colorful. I liked that they had regional twists on classic Mexican dishes. I will definitely come back.

Wasn't what I expected. Stake taco too salty would have thought someone tasted it before serving. Chips and salsa good. Meat in other dish my wife ordered to dry. Margarita over priced tasted bland. Would no go back .
