Combining all sorts of flavors and ingredients into normal Mexican dishes like tacos and quesadillas, Juan’s also offers regular happy hour specials on margs and mojitos. [Eater 38 Member]
Primarily a wine bar, but they have small plates & snacks that are, 1, filling enough to have for dinner, and 2, delicious enough to bring you here even if you don’t want to drink. [Eater 38 Member]
The fried chicken rivals that at nearby Willie Mae’s, and the fried catfish will be some of the best you’ve ever had. [Eater 38 Member]

It’s impossible to say any shop has the best po’ boys, but they make a strong claim to that title here. They’re expensive for po’ boys, but they’re large and worth every penny. [Eater 38 Member]
Featured extensively in HBO’s “Treme,” Lil’ Dizzy’s is perfect for a creole or soul food lunch from the lunch buffet. Call for hours. [Eater 38 Member]

Like sushi, nobody comes to New Orleans for the Middle Eastern food, but Lebanon’s Cafe draws a healthy crowd for its hummus, falafel, and kibby. Mmm kibby. [Eater 38 Member]
Most of the menu is straight-up Creole, among the best in town. You will likely have to wait for a seat, but the Maple Leaf Bar is half a block away, so it’s no big deal. [Eater 38 Member]
