Late-Night Tacos and Fried Chicken in New Orleans Openings This Month | Eater New Orleans

"For a city that likes to party late, this casual taqueria aims to solve the wee-hours food problem, staying open weeknights until 11 p.m. and weekends until 1 a.m. Located in the former Reginelli’s next to the more polished Johnny Sanchez, it conjures the street taco scene in Mexico City and is the kind of place where you can eat standing up at the busy counter. The name, Carnalito, is slang for little brother, fitting for this low-key sidekick to the swanky Tacos del Cartel a few blocks away. The menu features succulent meat shaved off rotisserie trompos for tacos al pastor and Black Angus sirloin served on handmade flour tortillas, dressed with onions, cilantro, and fresh salsa from the bar, with margaritas, cervezas, and agua frescas to drink." - Beth D’Addono
