Dec 27th - First dinner in New Orleans at Superior Grill!!!

New Orleans Travel Blog › entry 7 of 21 › view all entries

This would be the 1st time I wouldn't spend NYE in Peru! My plan was going to Ecuador with some friends, but at the last minute I was told I have to go to New Orleans because of work. Would that ruin my NYE? No way! If life hands you lemons, make lemonade ;) So, instead of flying back home the 30th and arriving the 31st, I'd stay in the States. Spend some time in the great New Orleans and go to Austin for NYE and party, party, party :)

Dec 27th - First dinner in New Orleans at Superior Grill!!!

and the Margaritas!!!
After Blair arrived we went to downtown to pick up Osvaldo. A couple of minutes after we arrived, he showed up. Ok, now we were ready to go, get some food and drinks. Blair asked me where to go, mmm. "Don't know." was my answer, haha. And he just said: "ok, but don't complain if you don't like what I choose and... don't ask for a salad or I'd send you back to Lima, hehe"

We ended going to Superior Grill at St. Charles - uptown. I have already been here before. Everytime I visit the city, I have to come here. It's a really fun and colorful Mexican place. I was here the first time with colleagues, then during Mardi Grass with Adam, the other time with the girls from the office... and this time just with guys ;) Doesn't matter when or with whom I always had a great time here!

We found a parking place and asked for a table.
Awesome cheese dip!
The place was packed, although it was still early. Ok, we just had to wait for about 30-45min. Mmm, what to do in the meanwhile... let's go to the bar. Superior is well known for their Margaritas. I got one, while Blair and Osvaldo got just Crown & Sprite. We were just chatting and talking about the work next few days. Better go to the office tomorrow and take care of it, so we'd be ready with work on Monday before noon and would have free the rest of the day. On Tuesday we'd be flying back to Lima. Well, not both of us, since I'd stay in the States for NYE, secret - shhhhhhhh!

After 2 Margaritas we got our table. Blair asked for "Tex-Mex Chili con Queso" as appetizer. It was very good. The cheese was just delicious. We dipping our chips with it and the salsa, hehe.
Cheese Enchilada... too much food!!! do you want to share it?
Well, better don't eat too much, since we didn't want to get full before our entrees... Time to order drinks... well, just water for me - this time.

Ok, not it was time to order the entrees. The guys got Superior Platters and as I promised I didn't get a salad. I got Cheese Enchilada, well at least it was Vegetarian, haha. The food was a lot!!! but very tasty too. Of course there was no room for dessert. I couldn't even finish my dish... I was so glad we parked a couple of blocks away, yay! So we'd have the chance to walk at least a bit, haha.

Osvaldo wanted to go out, but since we had to work tomorrow morning... They would come for me around 8:30am! So, better go to bed early and ask for a wake up call to be ready on time ;)

Superior Time at the Superior Grill :)
I couldn't believe there wasn't any review from this place... well, time to fix it, hehe.

Ok, start talking about the location. This place is very well located. It's in Uptown on the very nice St. Charles Avenue. The windowed dining rooms glow with colored light-strings and neon signs for domestic and Mexican beers. The formality of white-clothed tables and red-brick walls is softened by ethnic bric-a-brac and a festively decorated bar area, while the open kitchen gives bustle to the laid-back atmosphere.

Their cuisine is Mexican. They give you complimentary chips and salsa, but save room--the restaurant lives up to its name portion-wise. We had a Tex Mex Chili con Queso as appetizer. It was a cheese to dip the chips. A really good dip! Awesome!!! Of course you can find the quesadillas, tacos, salads, burritos, fajitas. The food is good and portions are big. If you are in a group the combination plates are a good idea, but definitely what attracts more people are the: Margaritas! They are just delicious! A must if you are here! And they serve it flavored too.

Superior Grill's crowd is mostly young, but it doesn't mean you won't find older people there. In fact once I went there with my boss and a colleague, haha. So much fun! The place is always packed, so if you don't make a reservation, be ready to wait. But don't worry about it! You can wait at the bar, enjoying a refreshing Margarita, yummy!!!!

The staff is friendly and helpful. Another pro'. They have daily Happy Hours, yeah!!!!

Everytime I visit the city, I have to go to Superior Grill :)
