"Criollo is in the famed Hotel Monteleone, a positively perfect Mardi Gras setting. The restaurant is open for regular hours on Fat Tuesday, with breakfast served from 6:30 to 10:30 a.m. and lunch served from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., a menu with the likes of shrimp and grits and a booze-friendly Criollo smash burger." - Clair Lorell
