" Honestly didn’t expect such a high-quality meal at a casual place like this but was pleasantly surprised! Recommended the lengua tacos; they were fantastic! The atmosphere was relaxed but vibrant, perfect for dinner with friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" The best Mexican restaurant I've been to in New Orleans! The cocktail selection is superb, and the guacamole is out of this world. The portion sizes felt just right for sharing with friends. It's always a good time at Espíritu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Just okay. While the atmosphere was nice and the staff friendly, I found the food lacking in flavor. The shrimp tacos were decent, but didn’t wow me. I expected more given the high reviews. However, I might give it another chance in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" After searching for an authentic Mexican restaurant in New Orleans, I found Espíritu, and I'm so glad I did! The food was incredibly fresh and delicious. I especially loved the tacos de lengua. Even my gluten intolerant friend was thrilled with the options available. Their happy hour is also a steal! " (*Curated Review*)

" The vibe at Espíritu is just incredible. I loved the plant decor and attentive staff. My vegetarian girlfriend was thrilled with her options, and the food was all very fresh. I will be recommending this place to everyone I know in town. " (*Curated Review*)

" It was a good experience overall, but I was hoping for larger portions. The atmosphere is fantastic and the staff really makes you feel welcome. I would consider coming back to try different options. " (*Curated Review*)

" Eh, not all that it’s hyped up to be. The decor is great, but the food just didn't wow me like I expected. Friendly service, but I can’t say I’d rush back. " (*Curated Review*)
