Nola Nica

Rude reception by the husband, the cook. I think he was upset because he was out of popular items. All chicken dishes and many sides on the menu were unavailable before 1pm and they are open until 3pm. If you go to lunch at 2pm all that might be available is buns and ketchup! It looks like they might be having financial issues. We've been sitting for 35 minutes and no food. Another party arrived and they were served and checked out before we got our burgers. I was told they ordered before they arrived. We received the street corn and plantains first. We ordered two specialty burgers and received them 45 minutes after we ordered! The burgers we received weren't the specialty burgers with coleslaw. They didn't bother to tell us they were out of coleslaw too! The overall taste of the burger was good eventhough the cheese was hard and not melted. I would call before you go to confirm they have the menu choices you are seeking and order it before you arrive. The restaurant is difficult to find. Look for the blue awning.

Delicious. Had the daily special, Baja chicken Flautas . The chef even swapped the rice for me. I got the black beans and rice. Look forward to going back. Wish I would’ve discovered Nola Nica sooner!

We almost missed it because there is no sign for the restaurant. You have to enter a building to find the restaurant. Service was friendly and helped us with our disappointment because they had ran out of most of the menu. We ordered lunch. The waitress was super friendly. The vibe is relax. Parking was easy.

NolaNica is a welcomed change and now on my list of "go to" places. While located farther than I typically like to travel (on Airline past the airport), it was definitely worth the drive. I was nervous about being able to find the restaurant, but I was easily able to spot it from the road. The interior is small, but very nicely put together. The service was awesome! The guy (possibly the owner) that took my order was great in offering suggestions. He also was happy to answer any questions we had. After ordering, we received our food really quick. I had the NolaNica Burger. OMG! Best burger ever! It was like a flavor explosion in my mouth, with so many textures and moving parts. It came with fries and they were equally good! I don't typically eat burgers, but this burger has defied the odds. I wanted to try the Nacatamal, but they unfortunately had run out. We arrived around 5pm, so Mental Note: Get there earlier next time! The other guest had the taquitos, which came with rice/beans and coleslaw. I loved the coleslaw, but it may take some getting use to for others.

I've been waiting to try this place, and boy was I in for a wonderful treat! The food was absolutely delicious. I got the Korean BBQ taco special. 2 chicken, 1 pork and 1 beef with street corn and their rice. Absolutely delicious. I savored each bite to allow the flavor palette to dance over my taste buds. I will definitely be back. The melon juice was a delicious drink as well. I just wish they were closer to where I live, but whenever work takes me out that way I'll be there to eat! Bring your friends, they will thank you. Service is quick and friendly!!

Every so often in life, you run across people who are doing exactly what they're supposed to be doing. These people were meant to make the best food possible, with excellent sourcing of ingredients, and the most kind and welcoming service. If you are by the airport in New Orleans, why suffer anything less? It's a 12 hr drive from my house, and I am considering the trip.

I am a new customer as of this week, and I’ve been twice already. Nola Nica has so many positives: great and friendly service, great food, and a very clean restaurant. Nola Nica has a lifelong customer! I ordered the taquitos with rice and beans and then the lunch special: quesadilla and fries. *The entrance can be hard to spot from the street. Look for the Royal Blue awning.

One of the best lunches I’ve had in a months. This was my first time trying Nicaraguan food and it was amazing. I’m gluten intolerant and that was no issue at all. I had the Chancho frito, and the pork was extremely good. I really liked the rice and beans but the plantains were so flavorful. The sauces that went with the plantains and pork were perfect balance of zest and balance. The juice wasn't too sweet and very refreshing! The staff were so friendly/helpful and the prices were so good I felt guilty. 5 stars easily

I love love LOVE NolaNica! Every time I go and get anything the food is amazing. Pollo Al Carbon/Grilled Chicken... the Bistec Sandwich.. the Naturales.. Plantains.. Everything is 10/10! If you're in the area, it's a must try. The staff is super kind, there is plenty of seating and the music is enjoyable too! Thank you!!

Love this place!! Food never disappoints and the team there are the best!! For anyone looking for good food, this is a must!

Their Nola Nica burger is a definite must have! Service is always quick and efficient. Such lively people. I may actually get some for lunch tomorrow lol.

Let's get the most important part of the review out of the way, the food is great! The service... is NOT. Lengthy wait times, missing food items, frustrated cooks, miscommunication when calling in an order and disgruntled phone order takers. I asked if I could substitute for rice instead of rice and beans, they insisted that no modifications allowed (mind you, it doesn't say that anywhere in their menu). I informed the order taker of a bean allergy, she suggested not to order from here. I went there three times on three different days. Walked out the first two days and finally got service on the third. It just was not worth it. If you want similarly tasting food and WAY better service, trust me, skip this place and head over to Viva Nicaragua.

Hard to find but worth the effort on every metric. One of my favorite spots in the metro area. One of the few I will travel to outside the city proper just to eat lunch at. Don't skimp on this spot. It's fantastic.

Great food! Great staff. Always takes care of me and my clients. Best place to get lunch in the area.

Definitely one of my top spots for a Friday lunch to escape the dread of work. I literally want to try everything on the menu. Heard the burgers were "rollin." I had the grilled fish special with a side of rice and plantains. It was delicious.

I was looking for a place for lunch near the New Orleans Airport and this place caught my eye because of all of the good reviews. I just had to check it out for myself. I am SO glad I did! I am obsessed! First of all, it is located very close and convenient to the airport and has plenty of parking and surprisingly a decent amount of seating. The space was very clean and everyone was doing their part to keep the restaurant safe with respect to COVID. Now, I went with my mom and we got there a little later in the day (2pm). They currently close at 3 and were out of some of the items on the menu so I definitely recommend getting there as early as possible. The menu has a great variety and I ended up going with the chicken taquitos. They were delicious and the rice that came with them was absolutely divine!! I could eat it everyday. My mom got their lunch special and I am still SO jealous because it looked incredible and I had major food envy. She couldn't eat it all in one sitting so we had to get her a to-go box. This was my first time trying Nicaraguan food and I was so glad I did. I definitely plan to stop in next time I'm in New Orleans. Literally everything about my experience was perfect. The staff were all so friendly and welcoming. They made us feel cared for and appreciated. And this entire experience cost less than $30 for two people before tip! You truly cannot beat this amazing restaurant!

High quality authentic food, nice clean restaurant and extremely friendly staff. We order lunch for our office here every week. Very happy repeat customers.

Awesome food, very neat to have some different authentic food. The drinks are great as well. You won't leave hungry, plenty large portion items. Burgers are very good and different than others. Check them out!

We were in the New Orleans area last weekend, and decided to try NolaNico for the first time. It's not a large place, and it was pretty packed at lunch time. It looks like they are working to expand into the space right next to them, which should at least double their space, which based on how busy they were and how many "to go" orders were picked up while we were there, is a good thing. The staff were friendly and wanted to make sure that we were happy with our meal. They apologized because there wasn't an empty table, but I told them that we'd just try to "crash" one of the tables with what appeared to be a mother and daughter. She seemed happy that we didn't mind doing that. We asked to share a table with the ladies, and found that they were visiting from out of town as well. It turned out that the women were originally from Nicaragua, so we were able to get their input on the authenticity of the food. We enjoyed We decided to share the Fritanga and a Nacatamal. Everything was fresh made, so service wasn't immediate, but we don't mind waiting a little bit for good food. While we waited, we observed a number of other dishes go by, all of which looked and smelled delicious. Our food arrived, and the Nacatamal is HUGE. Not being sure of what to expect, we cut into it, and found a variety of meats and veggies. Each area of the Nacatamal had a different flavor because of the different items in each area of it. It's not like a regular tamale at all, but we thoroughly enjoyed it. The Fritanga gave us a taste of a wide variety of Nicaraguan foods. Everything was absolutely awesome and cooked to perfection. Our tablemates confirmed that the food was authentic and very well cooked. All in all, we were very pleased and will absolutely try them again when in the area. If you are near the New Orleans airport, it's just down the road and worth a stop!

I love going to NolaNica! They have the best Nicaraguan food I have ever had. It is fresh, tasty, and filling. I am certain someone's abuelita (that's little grandmother for those that don't speak Spanish). I'm serious, this is the stuff you had growing up and eating supper on Sundays. The Nacatamales are amazing and cheap. Nothing on the menu is bad and you want to try it all. Try the tamarind tea too! The owners are very nice and will give you suggestions based on what you like to eat. Eat outside the box and take a chance on food other than Cajun/creole/fried/American. Go with something unique and authentic to Nicaragua. Try NolaNica today, you won't be disappointed. We have been going back here more times than I can remember now. But today's meal was extra special since it was my birthday. Anyways, I got the fried pork dish with gallo pinto and a nacatamal. My wife stuck with the chicken dish which she absolutely loves. Next time, I'm going to just ask him to make me something not on the menu. I trust that he will not steer me wrong. He is a great guy that is super friendly and does amazing things in the kitchen. Plus, he is good to his customers. During the government shutdown, he worked with his customers that were furloughed but working without pay from the airport, like TSA and Border Control.

NolaNica is a welcomed change and now on my list of "go to" places. While located farther than I typically like to travel (on Airline past the airport), it was definitely worth the drive. I was nervous about being able to find the restaurant, but I was easily able to spot it from the road. The interior is small, but very nicely put together. The service was awesome! The guy (possibly the owner) that took my order was great in offering suggestions. He also was happy to answer any questions we had. After ordering, we received our food really quick. I had the NolaNica Burger. OMG! Best burger ever! It was like a flavor explosion in my mouth, with so many textures and moving parts. It came with fries and they were equally good! I don't typically eat burgers, but this burger has defied the odds. I wanted to try the Nacatamal, but they unfortunately had run out. We arrived around 5pm, so Mental Note: Get there earlier next time! The other guest had the taquitos, which came with rice/beans and coleslaw. I loved the coleslaw, but it may take some getting use to for others.

The food is always awesome and the customer service is superb. My favorite is the taquitos and the tacos are top notch. You will not be disappointed. To top it all off they care enough to remember my name.

I've never dined in so I can't give any honest reviews about the facility; but, the food is ah-may-ZING! We live about 45 minutes away but my husband works near there. He brought home some leftovers to me that "I had to try!". After that one time, I became a fan! Several times since then, I requested that he call the restaurant early enough to place a to-go order to bring home for supper. It is always good, unique, plentiful and perfectly seasoned. I look forward to trying more from the menu and making sure if I want the tamales, I order a day ahead!

Not sure what all the rave is. Maybe I ordered the wrong dish? Food is good but not like how everyone's making it sound. I ordered delivery so cannot comment on anything but the food. It did arrive within around 30 min. Ordered the grilled chicken dish, pollo al carbon cabron. Meat was definitely tender, but also a little pink. Tasted a bit burnt from the grill. Rice and beans was bland. Did not get the Creole corn that was in the description. Got slaw instead and it tastes like spoiled fruits? Plantains were good. I started this review off at 4 stars but the more I'm writing the worse it sounds. Changing it to 3 stars. The cacao drink was amazing. Which makes me want to bring it back to a 4 stars. Serving size is generous.

Oh my!!!! Never knew! First time sampling Nicaraguan food. No skimping on FLAVOR! And portions are shareable! Fried cheese, any protein with rice and beans... my knees got weak! And service? Fenomenal!

THIS. PLACE. IS. AMAZING. Staff: extremely nice Food: Bomb, delicious, juicy, fresh I came here when I was nearby, and, boy, am i glad i did. After ordering their grilled pork lunch entree, I was blown away by all the flavors. The plantains, ugh, I'm wishing I could eat them right now because they were soooooo good, a perfect harmony of sweet and salty with that cheese on top. The slaw with the rice and the pork was just fantastic and all the flavors going on were tasty. I would recommend this very highly to anyone out in Kenner, for the food, price (only $12 for a huge plate!), and stellar service.

Everything was real good at this restaurant the food in the service. The only thing is I live so far away but when I get a chance I will go back.

I was disappointed and not by the food but by the "chef's" ATTITUDE when my friend expressed that the Fried pork was hard ( it was hard/ overcooked). We try to support this business because the food normally is really good, but we understand the sometimes Sh!t happens . I never expected to be treated like that just because one time out of the many she said this time it was something wrong with the food. The other two ladies where nice but the Chef need to tone it down a bit to make it in this business!!!

I'm giving it one fewer star than everyone else because the meats are too fatty. See my picture of the fried globs of fat in the "Vigonon" which only starving children should eat. The jalapeño Cole Slaw was tasty.

NOLA NICA won me over within the first few minutes of my Interaction with them. Personable, friendly, and helpful. Also the burger that I had from there is a must!!! I will be back for several burgers this month alone! Tasty and unique for a burger!

The reviews speak for themselves. This was a lovely find in Kenner, I only wish they were closer to downtown! My friend and had the chicken plate, pork plate, and a tamale. I personally preferred the chicken because it was super moist! Definitely a 5/5 and highly recommend. My favorite part was the maduros! I LIVE for them. It tasted just like the ones I've had in Costa Rica and Puerto Rico. I might have cried a little inside from joy while eating them, because it is SO hard to find good Latin food here in Nola! However, the food here was definitely authentic, from the crumbles of queso fresco on the maduros to the gallo pinto - yummmm. The tamale was huge! Definitely can feed at least 2 people. It was filled with lots of pork, and the tamale itself was super flavorful and fresh. I would recommend ordering this to share as an appetizer. Overall, I was very impressed with this restaurant. AND the cooks/owners were Latino, so you KNOW it's going to be legit! I'm definitely going to be back! This has to be one of my top 3 favorite restaurants in Nola as of now.

NolaNica is an awesome Nicaraguan restaurant in Kenner. I was in the area with my boyfriend and we were looking for a place to eat that was new (to us). I'm so lucky that my fellow yelpers were sharing the word of NolaNica and that we gave it a shot! We walked in around 2:30 on a Sunday (whoops). I guess I assumed that this place would be busier during the week than on weekends but I was wrong! While there weren't too many other people in the restaurant at the time, they were out of a lot of things I wanted to try because they had been busy before. After finding out what was still available, my boyfriend and I decided on the pollo al carbon carbon, the fritanga, and a side of creamed corn. The people working also convinced me to try 2 of their specialty drinks - one that was chocolatey and milky and one that was papaya and orange (I think). WOW everything was so good! Honestly, we ordered too much food for just 2 people but somehow we almost finished all of it. I highly recommend the fritanga if you are interested in trying a sampler of things: it gives you a variety of meats and rice/ beans, plantains, etc. Each bite was better than the last! I also loved the 2 drinks we got! The staff was very friendly and let us try all of their drink options before we settled on these 2. They were both delicious, refreshing, and paired perfectly with our food! NolaNica was great! While the bill ended up being a little high for 2 people ($41 before tip), the portions were HUGE and the food was really good. I definitely want to go back to NolaNica at some point in the future, since there are so many other dishes I want to try! Food - 5 stars Price - 4 stars Service - 4.5 stars Atmosphere - 3 stars

My husband and I "discovered" this little gem on our way to another estate sale adventure. We ordered the fried fish, which came with ample sides, and an appetizer. Each dish was a pleasant blend of freshness and comfort. While some of our items were fried, nothing was heavy or greasy, and the sides provided a balance to the fried, crispy flavor. The sweet, starchy plantains were made even more delicious with crumbled fresh cheese, and our rice was a fluffy pilaf. I was also happy to note that every item was well-flavored but conservatively salted. My advice is to make sure couples purchase two entrees instead of one. The portions are generous, but if your lunch buddy is anything like my husband, sharing may become a very challenging exercise in self control.

My husband and I enjoyed our visit! What stood out the most was the excellent and friendly service. We felt as if we were regulars, and that is a great quality of NolaNica. We decided to start with the boiled yuca appetizer as well as a order of the yuca fritters. For our meal, we split the large platter and an order of the taquitos. The only thing we didn't care for was the yuca fritters. There is something in them that is a bit chalky, almost like uncooked flour or dry cheese. However the rest was great. We enjoyed the meats, plantains, rice and beans and yuca with slaw. I recommend them for sure and will go back to try other dishes!

I just ate the Nolanica burger!!!! WOW!!! Best around!!! These guys opening down town...they will rock it.

My classmates and I came in after clinical for lunch one day & I was pretty excited to try Nicaraguan food for the very first time. My nursing school friend is actually from Nicaragua and she was just as stoked for us to try it out!! Service was amazing, right off the bat we were greeted by one of the owner/son and he explained his top favorites from the menu. I went with the item pictured below.. apologize in advance bc I forgot the name of the dish but it came with two huge pieces of beautifully fried chicken, cilantro lime red bean rice & plantains. Ohhh my lawdd!!! Chicken was so tender and juicy.. and I've never had plantains so flavorful and cooked perfectly. Also tried some of my friend's chia seed/tamarind drink and it was tasty & refreshing! Would definitely come back again. I believe they're trying to open another location closer to downtown/mid-city area :)

This restaurant is a gem. The Nicaraguan family that owns the restaurant are very welcoming and the food is amazing. Try everything on the menu and then go back and try it all again! The portions are large, the food is cooked to perfection, and the even something simple like the rice is a treat.

I love love love the nacatamals at this place. They hadn't had them for awhile And they came back better then ever. The price has gone up $2 but they are twice as big as they used to be and the ingredients are bigger and better in the masa. I think the masa is more flavorful now as well. Anyway this place is worth the drive down hwy 61 past the airport. You won't be disappointed !!!!!!!

Had the fritanga and it was everything in this platter was so delicious. It was only $13 and i shared and was actually stuffed! Also got the tamarind juice and it was so good and refreshing :) Love this place and will definitely come forever and ever :)

This place is excellent! So good it expanded and has a booth in the food court at Place St. Charles.

Nicaraguan Cuisine In The Neighborhood It's a small place but big on flavor. Two of us went here after reading the great reviews and ordered Nacatamal (banana leaf wrapped Spanish style tamale) , Fritanga ( platter of carna asada, chancho frito, tajadas frtas, platano frito, yacca, chicharron, chorizo queso frito, repollo/slaw, gallo pinto, and repocheta) , Bistec Encebollado (pan- seared beef steak smothered in onionserved with white rice, black beans, sweet plantains). All of the food was outstanding and the service was a delight. Very friendly and welcoming, smiling people here. The Fritanga platter is enough for two. As usual we over ordered but took the remaining food home. We will be back to try the much talked about burgers here.

Some of the best Latin cuisine I have had! We got the carna asada and fritanga. The carna asada was extremely flavorful. I really enjoyed the fritanga as you get a lite bit of everything. One of my favorite was actually the cole slaw. Every was delicious and I highly recommend! We will continue to go back!

I've been working near this place for a few years now and have gone here many times. Every time it is absolutely delicious, authentic, and never a disappointment! I've tried several different menu options and although my favorite is still the chicken taquitos, everything else is amazing as well. The owners are super nice and very hard working. If I could afford it, I would eat lunch here every single day!

This place used to be a good option but, sadly, the way they do business makes no sense! They run out of product almost as soon as their doors open...you want the burger? We don't have it. Fritanga? Better luck next time. Nachos? Nope! It seems like they go to a Neighborhood Walmart, purchase only the necessary to cook a few meals and that's it. Food used to be good, in my original review I gave them 5 stars, but after several, several times that we got the same answer "we don't have it", we just stopped going. We even tried calling ahead and ordering our food to go, but it was the same problem. Now I just learned their crazy, crazy hours...I don't think this place will remain open for long...JS

Aboslutly awesome!! On a work trip from Los Angeles and was about this small spot with a good burger. Some business associates and myself went to go try it out and was completely surprised that it wasn't just a burger place. A menu with Nicaraguan food, burger, and Peruvian style food. I ate here 4 times over a 10 day trip to the area. The burger was amazing!

Man I had the Pollo Al Carbon Saturday for lunch. It was delicious! Gicelle was so nice and welcoming. And Martha was cooking up some good stuff. The food was flavored well and it was fresh ingredients. I asked for this hot salsa because I like a good amount of heat with some foods. That salsa was hot and tasty. I'll definitely be back. It was rolling! I wanna try the whole fried redfish next time. They didn't have any that day but it was all good.

this is our favorite Nicoaguran places in New Orleans. the portion sizes are monstrous and the prices are amazing. we started the meal with jalapeno yucca fritters that were delicious. fried to the right amount of crisp and impacted with flavour. the chorizo burger was delicious as the fried cheese complimented nicely the meat platter is the best entree. they babe everything from chicharron, steak, fried cheese, beans and plantains! overall this is the place to stop by in Kenner!

I had the NolaNica burger and it was DELICIOUS. So many flavors in one bite!! I've had a fritanga once before and that was amazing! The owners are so sweet, the food came out super fast, and it was so fresh! Definitely recommend and definitely going back!!

I had an absolutely divine hamburger experience. Everything about it was delicious. Of particular note was the fried Honduran cheese and the sweet plantain that were included in the sandwich. The tamarind juice drink made me shake my head in amazement. I had no idea what I was doing with it at home. This was excellent, I wish I could reproduce it. This place will be my regular refueling spot after landing in New Orleans.

Only a mile from the airport and thanks to all my fellow yelpers because I would have never seen it just driving by. The tamales are freaking awesome was full like a tick but had to order one to bring home. The coconut bread on the burger was soft and flavorful and the slaw was creamy and delicious. Definitely a great bunch of guys working in side willing to give you the run down on what the cook. We asked them for there recommendation and was very pleased. GIVE IT A TRY

My first visit and I wasn't disappointed. They moved to 120 Mallard, so I had to find them.

Out of the 5 days I've been visiting NOLA, I've eaten here 4 times and staying downtown. The food is just stupendous and absolutely worth the trip from any which where!! I had the NOLANica burger: AMAZING. DON'T EVEN HESITATE. I had the fritanga plate about 2-3 times counting once for breakfast:. AMAZING. Great if you want a tour of the menu ;) I had the chancho frito, carne asada, and pollo plates on separate occasions: the chicken is to ddiiiee for!! Ever single thing on the plate is amazing. The platanitos (Green plantain chips) and Gallo pinto are just as good as homemade and taste like a master chef made them...*drool* I had the Guanabana drink which is a sour sop lemonade. It's light and tasty!!! And lastly, I had the Manuelita which is a light crepé filles with crumbled dry cheese, sugar, and cinnamon. I mean...Need I say more? The folks cooking are two nice, attentive, friendly, and hard working brothers. They know exactly what they're doing and I'd be back for 5-6 times and then some!!!

There's not enough great things I can say about this place. The food is amazing and I'm literally motivated to try EVERYTHING Carlos has to offer. The food, the service, the atmosphere, everything about this place is phenomenal. If you come here for the first time, I recommend trying their Fritanga. It's a platter with a little bit of everything. Every so often, he serves stuff off the menu and it makes me PLAN to come back. If you're also vegetarian, he also has a dish he can make for you that isn't on the menu. It's definitely a spot to check out. Especially for those who are coming to or leaving the airport!

My absolute favorite! This is close to where I work and it's ALWAYS good. I never remember to take a photo first because it smells SOOO good and I am starving! My go to is the bisteak and ceboillas - its a grilled steak and onions over black beans and rice and comes with sweet plantains and a slaw. Absolutely delicious!!!! My boss loves the vegetable plate - it's not on the menu but Big C was happy to grill him up some goodies! I've had a chicken and rice with corn side dish and well, nothing I've had there has been bad. The restaurant is extremely clean and well maintained. I an't recommend it enough! 5 stars is not enough!

The chicken was incredible!! We went here yesterday evening and really, really were pleased with the quality of food, service and overall experience. I loooooved the rice and beans also. It's funny because that is such a simple dish but the rice and beans here have so much flavor! He puts a green salsa on top and that really adds to it. The owner was so kind and even told us if he has leftover food he drops it off with homeless people on his way home. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone, there is even a burger on the menu. There's something for everyone here! The food is definitely a few steps above any other Central American place that I have ever eaten... you can just tell everything is fresh, made to order and of good quality. I will absolutely be back!!!!

Came here with a couple of friends and it was our first time having Nicaraguan. We weren't so sure what to expect, but their yelp reviews were so good. When I walked in, I was amazed at how small it was. It wasn't busy when we went, so that wasn't a problem. The staff were really welcoming and friendly, we were excited to order some food! We ordered the Nacatamal, Pollo Al Carbon Cabron, and Fritanga to share amongst ourselves. We also got their Chia con Tamarindo and Melon Con Naranga from their Natural Drink Menu. The food came out and we were all so amazed at how everything looked! The Nacatamal was a big Nicaraguan Tamale wrapped with banana leaf. It was good, but it wasn't thoroughly cooked or heated. It was still cold in the center, we weren't too fond of it. The Fritanga was epic with so many different things and it was still very affordable! It was basically their sampler platter. I would highly recommend getting this, if this was your first time trying out Nicaraguan food. The Pollo Al Carbon Cabron was amazing, the chicken was cooked and seasoned perfectly! The sweet plantains that came with both dishes were absolutely perfect, I'm going to need some extras when I come back. The drinks were cool, I liked the Melon Con Naranga more than the Chia con Tamarindo. I have to say that the Chia con Tamarindo was different from what I'm used to drinking. We wanted to try the churros, but they were all out for the day. We'll get 'em next time! Overall, a nice place to enjoy a unique meal with friends and family. It's a pretty far drive for my friends and me, but a New Orleans location just recently opened up! Whenever I'm close to either locations, I'm definitely going to be down for some NolaNica!

The food is fantastic. Haven't been to their new location, but hoping I can stop by one day during lunch. Try the burger if you're a burger lover!

I wish this place was closer to my house!! The guy who took our order was so nice, constantly checked on us throughout our stay. He recommended the NolaNica Burger and the Fritanga. Being our first time there, we decided to go with his recommendations. We were REALLY surprised by the food. The Fritanga has a little bit of everything on the menu, but literally can be a meal to share. The burger - yum - even the burger alone had some flavor, it wasn't just plain, unseasoned beef. Fiance loved the burger. He thought it was just going to end up being a normal burger. Make sure to get the yucca fritters, not the fries. There's seating for about...25-30 people. Small, clean, no frills restaurant. We left stuffed, but wanting more! Closed on Mondays. Middle of no where location, so it's understandable they close around 4pm.
