This place was a nice surprise, our waitress was incredibly sweet, helpful, and quick too! Delicious guacamole, salsa, and beef enchiladas with queso. Save some room for dessert, their sopapilla is enough in its own for me to go back!

Cute, local mexican joint. On a day with nice weather grab a margarita and sit on the outdoor patio. The food and service are great and the prices are reasonable.

Went there the other day and had a quality Mexican meal. The food was good and so was the salsa. My only issue was the price of the entrees pretty expensive for Mexican food. Besides that I would definitely recommend it.

all the servers seem incredibly stressed out and I'm pretty sure I got charged for changing drinks from sweet tea to sprite (the tea was terrible). fajita meat was acceptable and tacos were less than pleasing... will not be returning to George's!

Found the service average at best. Once had to go to the bar to get my water glass refilled. But the food is good and I do return. Favorite dish of most people is the Fiery Garlic Shrimp. Worth a trip just for that. Can't comment on the whole menu, but it is worth the trip just for that.

The Man was told they have good food here, so off we went to try it! Walked in the door and immediately greeted by a very friendly lady and there wasn't even a pause as we were taken to our table for the 4 of us. Lots of people (it IS a Friday night) and quite noisy..but that means I don't have to worry about my 4 year old being too loud! Yay! Did I mention the friendly people that work there? Service was brilliantly fast. Drinks were kept full which keeps the boys happy..I had the Sizzling Pork Fajitas and it was quite good. LOTS of red onions which I love but was surprised at the amount. I recommend squeezing some fresh lime on it. Yum. They forgot my guacamole but quickly brought some when I asked about it..and they had corn tortillas which makes me happy. The chips and salsa were good..my son is picky about the chips and he loved them (and I love when the chips are fresh and warm..not greasy either) the salsa was perfect for us..thin enough for the boys and there were chunks that I was able to fish out for myself. I couldn't eat all my food, and so I needed a box. While I was boxing up my food, they took my empty platter away and upon noticing I had some black beans to take, was brought a container for those. Stuff like that makes me happy. We were sitting near the bar area, so I watched many yummy looking drinks being made for people..next time I think I will have to get a margarita on the rocks. As we were leaving, the boys wanted to look at the outdoor seating area..it looks soothing with a fountain and has fans. The boys were disappointed that there wasn't a live band like it says there is on Friday nights, but I look forward to going back again.

George's has good, reasonable priced Mexican Food. When I first moved to the Northshore I was surprised at the quantity of good restaurants. Because there were so many there were several I tried that I had not been back to in some time. George's was one of those places. When my brother suggested we meet there for lunch, I was excited to go back. The restaurant is located in a strip mall off of the N Causeway service road. While not difficult to get to, it seems like a place you wouldn't stumble upon if you didn't know it was there. The meal started with complimentary chips and salsa. The salsa was somewhat thick, but seemed blended to a even texture. I am personally a fan of chunkier salsa, but their version was not bad. My main course was steak fajitas. They were very good, but there was a slight issue. My brother ordered the same thing although his plate seemed to have less meat than mine. His loss and my gain I guess. My one issue with the accompanying plate was that there was no sour cream. Th server did bring me a side when ordered, but every other place I've been has this as a standard with fajitas. Service was excellent. Our server did a great job tending to our large table and was incredibly nice. In summary, I like George's and need to remember to add it into the rotation.

This place always lets me down. The food is ok and the serve is lacking. I tried the margaritas awhile back and was disappointed so I will never try them again. There are a lot of choices on the Northshore now and honestly this one should not be on the top of the list.

Looking for a fancy Mexican place? - Keep looking. Looking for a hole-in-the wall that serves some of the best Mexican on the North shore - maybe even in the entire Metro New Orleans area? - Found it! George's is a total dive - and I say that with love. And the food ROCKS! As far as the food goes it's basic, rather simple Mexican. But it's rather simple Mexican of very high quality! Outstanding fajitas! The sizzling pork is to die for good - sort of like fried pulled pork with lots of onions and good stuff mixed with it. Really, an excellent dish! But of course being a Mexican restaurant one must discuss the margaritas. I like mine straight up on the rocks and George did a very good one. Top shelf tequila, fresh lime, not too sweet. Bottom line: Yes, it's in a strip mall. Yes, it's a total dump. Yes, the food is amazing. Go. Now!!

Spent 55.00 and walked out after one bite. The worst Mexican food ever. I don't understand why it's packed. Went to Taco Bell right after i walked out and it was actually a step above. Don't waste your time at George's.

The wait staff was helpful, and the ambiance was cozy and traditional. The live music (a solo mexican guitar) was not intrusive and was a nice touch. Food was fantastic, hot and fresh... i highly recommend the fiery garlic shrimp.

Well, this was a first: a frozen margarita that tasted WARM. I ordered a mango margarita, and watched as the server poured the mango flavored mixer into the bottom of my glass, then dispensed frozen margarita from a machine on top of it, and hand it to me without stirring or mixing. My first sip was of pure mango mixer. How the hell can a frozen margarita be warm?? But this restaurant found a way. Next was chips and salsa. The salsa was overly spicy (and I like spicy salsa) and was warm, not cold. It obviously had not been kept refrigerated. The chips did not seem to be freshly fried, they were light colored and were a dead ringer for the $2 "Santita's" you can get in the grocery store. Crabmeat stuffed jalapeno was awful. Tasted like canned crabmeat with breadcrumbs. Had absolutely no richness of depth of flavor. Not sure how a jalapeno can be bland, but again, this restaurant found a way. It came with a side of cheese dip. It had a good texture, not too watery, but it tasted more salty than cheesy. I might reserve judgement on the queso fundido, since I am unfamiliar with this dish and maybe this is the way it is supposed to be served. It was very rubbery, as if it was 100% mozzarella. It was hard to scoop out the cheese like this. The pico de gallo it came with was excellent, very cool and refreshing. The only item that was done right! The chicken nachos made me laugh: they were covered with *orange slices of American cheese!** The dish had three elements to it: a chip, a big chunk of chicken, and a piece of melted cheese. I managed to doctor this up by adding the pico de gallo from the queso fundido appetizer, and it became palatable. A previous Yelper said that Taco Bell is a step above this, and I have to agree. The lack of care here is obvious and sad. The server made me feel extremely rushed, trying to take my plates at every turn, and I had to shoo him off a couple of times. They were good about doing separate checks, which is always nice. However, I hope never to return.

Stopped by for Cinco de Mayo lunch expecting to be late. They were so organized we had time to spare. Lunch was served hot & fresh and everything was delicious. Hadn't been there for lunch figuring it was a touch further than our 1 hour normal would allow but it will now become a frequent stop. Fajita for 1 is certainly big enough for 2 and contained plenty chicken. I was a tad disappointed to notice that it did not come with cheese or sour cream but it was inexpensive to add those two on and it did come with guacamole which is something you don't always see.

George's has the best chicken fajitas I have ever eaten. I am from San Antonio and I now live in Houston and nothing else compares! (Which says alot) Everytime my boyfriend and I come into town we make time to stop in and eat here! You have to check it out if you haven't already.

If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.
