La Mansion

Really great truly enjoyed the homemade chips and homemade salsa. I had the tacos which were excellent and very authentic. Very reasonably priced as well!

Definitely a thumbs-​up and we’ll be returning. Reasonably priced. The waiter/​owner was super-​friendly. Good margarita. The boy had beef enchiladas and he said they were the best he’s ever had. I had the tacos — which is the reason for 4stars instead of 5: as previously stated they are simply meat in a tortilla with onion and cilantro on the side. I understand that this is traditional and they were delicious; but it would have been nice to at least have had the option to order a side of lettuce/​tomato. Beans were presented a bit unusually in sort of a soup… but it was Delicious, especially with some of the rice thrown in.

Great home made Mexican food. Mahi Mahi dinner rocks. The Charo beans are a reason for getting out of bed. Sometimes we just get beans and rice. Fajitas to die for. Breakfast is a great alternative to the regular neighborhood fare.
Support this place. The owner, Edwin is a sweetheart. The chef really knows her stuff. La Mansion is a GEM.

Things I look for in a Mexican restaurant — excellent margaritas, corn tortillas, salsa, and chips. Five stars for all of the above, plus great service and ambiance. Welcome addition to our neighborhood!

We discovered this place 10 days ago and been there three times already! Delicious tex-​mex and Margaritas. Very nice owner and great atmosphere. Feels very authentic.

Absolutely great Tex-​Mex!!! Ate here for the first time tonight and the Margaritas are fabulous the Chile relleno is the best in New Orleans and the atmosphere is great for relaxing after a hard day at work. If you are in the riverbend area of Uptown you must try this place.

As a Texan I’m super wary of Mexican and Tex Mex places outside of the lone star state. La Mansion gets a 5-​star rating in my book, though.
Excellent Tex Mex, comfortable and low key dining environment, and great service. I’ll be back very soon!

It was date night tonight with my little man and he wanted steak. We drove around the neighborhood, and I thought we should see what was new on Dublin St. We saw La Mansion with an open sign, so decided to try it. The owner, Edwin was lovely to us, telling us about the business and keeping up with my chatty boy. My son asked for cheese dip and Edwin produced a large bowl of fresh made queso, roasted salsa and just made chips that made us both happy. Cheese, Sigh! Anyway, we ordered two ribeye dinners, an unusual offering for a Mexican restaurant. The steak plate was large and full of salad and rice that was rich in chicken broth flavor with a decent piece of meat for a $ 17 plate. I want to go back and try their more Mexican fare. I liked that they make everything handmade and fresh. Worth a second try for sure and prices very reasonable.

Very happy I tried La Mansion tonight. Fast, courteous service. The margarita was strong and fresh– no mix! The house chips and salsa were wonderfully fresh and I appreciated the roasted flavor of the salsa. Was able to try the chicken, ground beef and shrimp for the taco plate. The proteins were all well cooked and seasoned. I am a fan of tacos only dressed in cilantro and onion (if the meat is well seasoned I don’t need it hidden under cheese) but I can see fast food fans being confused. What I didn’t expect was that the rice and beans sides would be so tasty and a wonderful compliment to the meal. I am looking forward to trying more dishes on my next visit.

We came into town for Christmas & heard this was just opened 3 months ago & we were not disappointed
Best salsa & guac I’ve had
Skirt steak was awesome so we’re my 3 tacos, 2 chicken 1 beef
Homemade chips & salsa that sneaks up on you with the heat factor sooooo great thank you Edwin for a perfect Christmas dinner

3.5÷5 chorizo cheese
first. chorizo queso. i mean, just do it. cmon why not. it’ll cure your hangover. wandered in with a coworker, and i have to admit, i wanted her dish more.
it was pretty quiet, with just one guy (owner?) working the entire floor. he took our order and brought out some chips, which were tasty with this chipotle-​like salsa. we ordered the chorizo queso and ended up needing a chip refill.
i got this sizzling dish that was good — sorta like a mixed fajita situation. it came with rice and beans and was definitely hot on arrival. my friend got this interesting mixed plate — had skirt steak, a great enchilada, and some other stuff. i think i’ll definitely be ordering that next time, given it had a whole mix of things that i wanted in my mouth!
finally, it is always michelada hour. this one came in this big gulp type cup, at first i had to laugh at myself. but it was sufficient for the whole meal and was pretty zesty.
will be back!

The other reviews seemed pretty on point — good food and service. They did NOT mention the tequila sombrero though. I suspect those that wear it are overcome with an inability to remember evenings. Either way, if you like Tex Mex this place is definitely worth checking out.

I had a very different experience than many other Unilocalers apparently.
Let’s start with the chips. My girlfriend and I differed on this point. I thought they were too thick and too greasy. My girlfriend really enjoyed them and the fact that they were homemade. The salsa was ok, nothing to write home about.
Now the reason for my 2 star rating, the steak tacos I ordered. These were literally just steak in the tortillas with cilantro and onions on the side (along with a side of rice and beans). Now, I won’t presume to say what authentic is, but I will say that if you give me meat in tortillas it better be damned good meat. This unfortunately was not. The steak was very very well done and tough to chew. By the end of the meal my jaw was actually sore. To be completely thorough and fair I must say that the taste was OK, it just seemed to me that either they massively over estimated the time to cook OR, and in my mind more likely, reheated the meat from earlier.
I will likely go back and give this place another try but it will be a while.

Another spot added onto my list of places to dine in New Orleans. Just a block off of the Carrollton Avenue streetcar in the Riverbend area is this small Tex-​mex restaurant with yummy food. The interior is nice, clean and comfortable with about 12 – 15 tables. The tortilla chips and salsas are homemade and a wonderful preview to the entrees. Salsa has a delightful kick. I had the marinated grilled skirt steak with two cheese enchiladas, yellow rice and charro beans. The steak was tender and tasty. The side dishes were delicious. Service was friendly and attentive. Prices are easy on the wallet. Nothing to stop me from wanting to return when I have an appetite for good Tex-​mex dining. Even the toilet paper was pleasing.

The guacamole and homemade chips are incredible. Very comfortable setting. The enchiladas are very good and the prices in general are reasonable.

Ate here for the first time yesterday and was so impressed. From the homemade chips and salsa (awesome chips) to the cilantro chicken enchiladas my wife had. Really good. I had a skirt steak that was perfectly cooked and had a wonderful flavor. Really nice people there, too. The only thing this place needs is more people. It was empty when I went in. Hungry for Tex-​mex? Get down to the old town of Carrollton!

This place has one of the best margaritas in town — none of that sweet syrupy junk. I went here with my a friend for dinner. Everything was exceptional! The prices were great! I will return.

Came here with my friend last night, and our meal was delicious. Prices are very reasonable, and servings are large. My friend got a margarita, and she said it was on point. Service was quick. Owner is friendly. I’m in love with the complimentary homemade chips and salsa!

A nice surprise.
Stumbled in to this restaurant and was very pleasantly impressed with the food and specially the ambient. Will surely be back.
Friendly owner.

Finally a true taste of home for homesick Texans! Authentic, well-​done Tex-​Mex for those back home cravings. They serve real nachos, not those disgusting piles of chips and carnage like most so called Mexican restaurants. If you’ve never had the pleasure of sampling real Tex-​Mex nachos, try the bean and cheese with guacamole. Perfect starter to share. I had the cheese enchiladas with Texas sauce (chile) as an entrée and they were exceptional! Light, not overly cheesy, covered in plate licking good chile sauce. My wife let me sample her Green Enchiladas and they too were outstanding; very nicely done chicken enchiladas in a green tomatillo sauce; light and fresh!
The only miss came in the form of over cooked tostados. I know they were complementary so I shouldn’t bitch but really, why serve browned chips? Even though I have a suspicion that the chef put her own personal twist on the ubiquitous lagnapne, I have never seen it before and I wasn’t impressed. The freshly made salsa they were served with was a hit though.
Also, the menu is abbreviated. Missing were the tantalizing combination plates of Tex-​Mex lore. No Chile Relanos. No Pollo en Mole.
So why do I give it 5 stars? Because in comparison to the horrible Tex-​Mex landscape in New Orleans this place is an oasis. What foods they do offer are excellent. Anyone would be happy to get this same food in San Antonio or Austin. Hopefully they will expand their menu with specials soon.
