Add some real spice to your life! Superior Grill has been rated consistently as one of Louisiana’s best Mexican restaurants since 1983 when our first establishment opened in Shreveport. Our New Orleans location opened in 1997 and has become a landmark in fine quality foods with a festive Mexican atmosphere. Superior’s authentic Tex-Mex food is made from scratch every day with only the freshest ingredients. Our tortillas are hand-rolled with care all day long. For added flavor, all of our meats are cooked over a mesquite grill. We are proud of what we make and how we prepare it. Superior Grill is “the place to be” for happy hour, birthdays, office parties, and large groups. In addition to our festive indoor dining room, we offer a memorable outdoor dining experience on our landscaped patio featuring beautiful flowers and one of the best views of St. Charles Avenue. Superior Grill New Orleans is one of four locations including Shreveport, Baton Rouge, and Birmingham.

The server had no idea what he was doing. We had to ask for refills on our drinks, which we never received. We had to ask for our bill. Waited 10 minutes for him to return with our credit card. Three tables around us had to ask another server where our waiter was.

Overcharged for two margaritas didn’t realize it until we left. Food was good and our waitress was wonderful. I just wished I would have looked at my bill two drinks costed me 20$ a piece I looked it up after leaving on the menu and I should have been charged 8.50 a piece for the margaritas. I will be sure to look next time at my bill before leaving.

They were BUSY! I knew it would be but they probably needed more staff for Cinco de Mayo. Seating with quick but it look a while for a waiter to say hi to us let alone take our drink orders. It was LOUD. I could barely hear any one else at some points. Waiter was overwhelmed for sure. Had to ask for things a few times to get it like more salsa, another margarita, and our check/to go box etc. overall great food and fun to go out. But the service was not what it is like usually.

I was impressed. The restaurant was slammed with guests, yet the service was great, and the kitchen was turning out high quality food while under what must have been intense pressure! Of course being Cinco de Mayo the nose level was very loud. Nonetheless it was great. Perfectly cooked chicken in the faitas btw.

I've been trying to go back to loving Superior Grill but I have got to say it has fallen short the last several times we've been there. I didn't expect it to be great because it was Cinco de Mayo and I know they were slammed. My Paloma was awful so I exchanged it for a Ranch Water, wasn't much better. The queso was really good and the chips were fresh. We all ordered the shrimp taco and it was just really fair. Specifically the breading was a little on the soggy side and they put way too much chili sauce on it. It was disappointing I usually get the steak fajitas, but stayed away from that because it has been just fair. The price is way to expensive for 'fair.' I will find another Mexican restaurant.

Service was very slow. 5-10 minutes to be greeted. Drinks from the bar took 15-20 minutes. Realize staffing is an issue in the city but for the cost this is unacceptable. Will not return after spending over $100 for 2 people and poor service.

We enjoyed sitting outside with the cool breeze. We ordered a margarita, cheese dip and the chicken & steak fajita which was delicious. We also ordered a tamale which was extremely dry and we sent it back which is something we never do. We also ordered a quart of salsa & chips to go something we probably order once a month from superior because they have the best chips & salsa. Our waitress thought she should still charge us for the tamale something that we couldn’t eat. She said in a not so nice voice I guess I will ask my boss. She came back with a new bill and an attitude. We really like superior and will return just hope we don’t get the same waitress.

The best place on St. Charles! Jesse and the crew always know how to make us feel at home. The superior crew makes the best cocktails, alongside the best food! The steak quesadilla is always so fresh. You can NEVER go wrong with the queso and top shelf margarita. Our favorite place any day of the week!!!!

My niece was in the city visiting, and we came here for her birthday celebration. Everything was amazing. The food is delicious. We ordered fajitas, quesadillas, beef queso, chips and salsa, and the sampler!!! It was all delicious. The margaritas are the absolute best!!! Exceptional service from the staff!!!

Went on a busy Saturday evening. We arrived before our reservation and staff kindly sat us early. Our server was great- friendly, attentive, and prompt. The frozen margaritas were a little melted. Chips and salsa were perfect. I’ve been to the original location in Shreveport many times and it’s always hailed as incredible food, but the food didn’t seem too fresh both times I’ve been to this location. Ambience on a weekend evening is loud and energetic, I think there were 5 happy birthdays sang while we were there. Fun atmosphere, just a little disappointed in the entrees.

Server forgot to bring the apps. Then brought us our food first. Asked for silverware (after getting our meals) then the server brought the silver ware to the table beside us and the didn’t even have food. I had to go get It myself from the wait staff area. The other tables in our area were complaining to. Another table was frustrated so the got up and left. Probably would not recommend this place to anyone

To start, it took 15 minutes to get my Top Shelf Margarita ($18) which came in a styrofoam cup. (Salt doesn't stick to styrofoam, btw). I asked for a real glass which took 10 more minutes and came with no salt. This was not a good start. The chips were cold and right out of a bag; the queso dip was so liquidy that it dripped all over the table; the cheese was not completely melted inside of my Cheese and Onion Enchiladas and the onions were just raw, chopped onions sprinkled on top of the enchiladas, not inside of them. Our waitress was lovely, but obviously overwhelmed with her work. I don't think we will be going back...........

From start to finish, we had a great experience. The outdoor seating was lovely and less noisy than the inside dining. Our waitress, Jade, was very friendly and on top of orders. We happened to be there when it was happy hour so we enjoyed our Top Shelf margaritas for a few dollars less. I can highly recommend the Queso Roberto and the Diablo tacos. Unfortunately, like so many places, they are a bit understaffed, however it did not impact our visit. The manager, Daniel, was pitching in to help where needed and was also very friendly even though he was hustling to help. We will definitely come back.
