Taqueria Corona
5932 Magazine St.
New Orleans LA United States
Authentic Mexican and Tex-Mex are served in this intimate Uptown restaurant and bar, located near Audubon Park within reasonable walking distance of Tulane, Loyola, and the uptown end of the Magazine Street shopping district. Don't expect any gimmicks, fusion cooking, or fried ice cream; the focus here is on simple dishes, including tacos, carne asada, burritos, and flautas, moderately seasoned, done well in an authentic style. Decor is classy in a modest way; dark, rough-finished woodwork, a high cieling, and subdued lighting, with a few posters for Mexican films adorning the walls. The pace is calm and noise-levels are conversation-friendly. Taqueria Corona features a full-service bar, and also offers sangria by the pitcher and a good selection of Mexican beers. Taqueria Corona is consistently chosen by the Gambit as the city's best Mexican restaurant.
