Juan's Flying Burrito - CBD · Lower Garden District
Operating since 1997 as a self-styled Creole taqueria, this Magazine Street flagship builds its namesake Flying Burrito from Creole-seasoned chicken, chile-marinated skirt steak, and Gulf shrimp with yellow rice and black beans. Gambit readers also count the bar among the city's margarita destinations, and outposts run in Mid-City and the CBD.
Felipe's Mexican Taqueria · French Quarter
A fast-casual taqueria across several New Orleans locations known for oversized, fully customizable Super Burritos. Gambit readers voted it the city's happy hour and margarita favorite in 2025, and the counter setup keeps a steady flow of build-your-own burritos, tacos, and quesadillas moving through the French Quarter and Mid-City rooms.
Taqueria Corona · Uptown
A nearly-40-year Magazine Street taqueria whose stuffed burritos come as big as a plate, served alongside sizzling carne asada tacos and a house salsa regulars swear by. The Uptown room has fed generations of neighbors, and Gambit's dining coverage keeps it in the conversation among the city's enduring taquerias.
