Mojo Lounge

Right off Decatur, perfect location. Great prices, food was delish. We ordered ham, Brie, apple panini and Spinach wrap. Both meals came with side dishes. Total bill was under 20. can’t beat that in NOLA :)

The worst service ever. If you are going to try and help someone please don’t be a monster and chase them off with poor service.
We were recommended this place and we were sorely disappointed by the lack of service. We never tried the food and will not be back.

We had a panini (apple, ham and brie) and a wrap (spinach and feta). Both food and service were good.

Food was great and the service was top notch. The server really took care of us even though they were about to close.

The hidden gem in plain sight. Do yourselves a favor and grab the steak for dinner. What everyone else charges double for, Mojo has for less than $ 15
A must stop in the Quarter.

It was hot, we needed a cold beverage… this was the first place we saw.
Wow, were we lucky!
We ordered one each of The Dixon and The Quinn (panini sandwiches) and then split them between the two of us. Both were absolutely delicious. The person preparing these dishes is an actual «Sandwich Artist.»
The pasta salad was amazing. Try it or regret that you didn’t.
The bartender was also our server and was a delight. She made us feel very welcomed and we will definitely be back on our next trip.

I’m giving this spot a 3-​star review for a very good reason. It’s as a courtesy to the owner.
The food, the service, the location … ugh … let me tell you…
Ok, now that I’ve weeded out the casual Unilocaler and are only left with people that really want to know what’s up:
The truth is, they don’t want a lot of people knowing about them. They can’t handle too many customers.
The bartender actually told me only to tell people that i, myself, would want to dine with, about this spot.
This place is truly the definition of a pleasant surprise. Easily a 4-​star (I really did lower the ranking as courtesy to the owner).
If you’re looking for a hole-​in-​the-​wall, this is it.
It isn’t the most comfortable place to dine — when my dining partner and I went it was a hot, muggy night (like most louisiana evenings) and the place lacked air condition. But they had the the store front opened up completely where diners/​drinkers could sit inside or outside.
Upon first appearance, you think «this is an average, dingy New Orleans bar.» But once you order and your food comes, you’ll sing praises. They know what they’re doing.
There’s only two people that work here — the bartender and the chef. After speaking with the bartender, he realizes they have something special and don’t really want word to spread too much about how good the food is because they can’t handle too much growth at once.
I was contemplating not writing a review at all, but I had to. The food here is absolutely worth checking out.
I highly recommend.

Great local bar/​restaurant, had the meatballs, great job chef, bartender very cool, if your a local worker grab your mates come drink and laugh here close to the French market which makes it that much better, I went shopping at the market, them headed here to cool off, grab a cold beverage. A plus peeps. Get here enjoy.

I love the food here, the cook is a babe and totally knows what she’s doing. This place never lets me down, and the staff is super friendly.
EXCEPT…
I have had one negative experience involving a certain server. She gave me a lot of attitude for no actual reason, and I have heard her being rude to others as well. I really never complain about service (look at my other reviews, usually write very positive reviews) but she is REALLY mean, she mumbles, and she just has a shitty shitty demeanor.
I’m FROM HERE to be mean to me is like being mean to a wounded bunny. I NEVER give attitude, I’m always super polite and I work in the fucking service industry. I cannot wrap my head around someone whose so fucking rude. I get it at dive bars, but there at least is some aspect of flirting.
I just think someone needs to have a sit down with her. And if she is the owner, she should know better.

I wanted to take a break from Cajun and Creole food for a bit. After searching over a 100 listings of restaurants on Unilocal,I came across Mojo Lounge. The dish that jumped out was the Pork Tenderloin. I walked about a mile to reach the restaurant and it was worth it.
The minute I sat down, I ordered the dish I came here for. The first course was the side salad, which came with homemade honey mustard dressing. The dressing itself had a nice balance between a sweet honey and mustard flavor. So far, so good. Then, the main dish was delivered. It was hard to tell from the photo, but the portion size was more than adequate. The pork tenderloin itself was cooked perfectly and had a great texture. The garlic mashed potatoes turned out quite well, and it had the right amount of garlic. Finally, the three asparagus spears were larger than I expected and were also cooked well. Overall, the dish was phenomenal along with the $ 12.99 price.

I love love love their Quinn panini and their prosciutto and mozzarella salad here. The food is yummy and good prices… same with the drinks. Everything is always consistently good and I’ve never had a bad experience here.

I’ve eaten here a dozen or more times, and I’m always reminded how much I love the food, the atmosphere, the lack of tourist crowds, and the friendliest staff on lower Decatur.
I highly recommend the filet appetizer. It’s incredible and you would be hard-​pressed to find a better steak in the Quarter for the price. The potato salad is incredible. The Thai chicken wrap tastes nothing at all like you’d expect, but it’s still fantastic and chock full of chicken. The salads are always fresh, and the Quinn sandwich is a Brie-​lovers dream. My one teensy little issue with them? They don’t deliver. Too bad so sad… For me anyway. Mojo takes the dive bar concept up a notch for sure — give it a shot!

This place never let’s me down. I Come here every time I’m in town at least once a week. I always order the NY strip steak. With a loaded bake potato, and fresh garden salad. The staff is always friendly. And they offer a great liquor selection. The price isn’t bad for the quality

Once again another perfect MOJO meal. Not to carry on BUT let me carry on about the Chicken Cordon Blue

Delicious!!! Looks like it’s a dive but the food is amazing! We ordered fajitas, tortellini, chicken Cordon Bleu, and the meatballs. We all shared and it was fan-​freaking-​tactic!!! Hidden gem!

A bunch of locals recommended the three cheese tortellini here and they were not wrong. The sauce is ridiculously amazing — fresh, a little spicy, just perfect — not to mention the tortellini. We also got a salad with their homemade balsamic, by recommendation of a guy at the bar — he wasn’t wrong either.
Totally and completely recommended.

YUMM
The pasta salad was for sure the best I’ve ever had! Thai chicken peanut wrap was delish as well… Oh did I mention the huge baked potato with big chunks of fresh crispy bacon? Super FABULOUS!

Walking around in the French quarters we were looking for a nice small place to have a beer.
With some outdoor seating this got our attention.
We only had a beer each, so I can’t write much about the food nor the service. The bartender was nice, there were locals hanging by the bar and a tv was on in the background.
Nothing extravagant but a nice place for a beer at least

Found this place on Unilocal while we were looking for something tasty that wouldn’t be too expensive on our last (I.e. Broke) night in New Orleans — walking there I started to get a little concerned because the party I was with tends to be a tough crowd, and the street seemed to get darker and sketchier the further we went. Luckily they were willing to try it out once we found it and we got some drinks (good) and ordered food. We just got fajitas and salads but it was really great. Fresh food, cooked well, and they even make their own delicious blue cheese dressing which was exactly what I wanted (the greens and chicken just served as vehicles for the dressing.)
I would recommend coming here but not when you’re starving — come when you have some time to have a few drinks while you wait because it did take a little while — but then again, it was worth it!

Decent Affordable Food & Drinks Fortified With Attitude
SITREP
Located in the French Quarter, this is a nice little bar that is close the waterfront of the Mississippi River. It has a very romantic, intimate — and yet still a bit kitschy — ambiance. It boasted some proud history which some of the local (entrenched?) patrons were all too happy to share with us.
THE SETUP
I’m getting a Mojito for my friend and I get a Diet Coke for myself. We were just kicking back a bit at the French Market and decompressing. We were also being regaled by her talented personable 3-​year old son with his «restaurant impressions.»
THE FOOD
We got some delicious items, including their pasta salad and Thai Wrap. These were yummy.
I actually had to go the next door establishment to round up some French Fries for the kid (what? No French Fries in the French Quarter @ Mojo’s?) and I got some pretty serious «Stink Eye» from the Bartendress. But the fries were in to-​go boxes, and we DID order food and drinks at her place, so I felt like she begrudgingly let slight what must have been a faux piss I guess. ;)
THE LOWDOWN
For a quick stop to get a pick-​me-​up and decompress for a bit, the Mojo Lounge is an okay time.
Postscript: The Mojo Lounge kinda fucked me up when I got back home to Sacramento, because we had some great events coming up here at the «Momo Lounge», and so I kept saying «Mojo» when I meant «Momo» for a couple weeks here. So I blame it all on missing New Orleans already and wanting to be back there.] ;)
