" While the food we ordered was decent, I couldn’t shake the feeling that the personal touch was a bit lacking during our visit. The birria was flavorful but not quite as authentic as I'd hoped. It was a Saturday evening and the restaurant was busy, which might explain the slower service. The outdoor seating area looked fantastic and was shaded perfectly for a warm summer evening. Overall, it’s a nice spot, though I felt they could pay more attention to details especially in terms of food authenticity. " (*Curated Review*)

" I stopped by Joe Joe's while visiting New Orleans, intrigued by its diverse menu and vibrant atmosphere. The combination of Mexican and Mediterranean influences was a refreshing surprise! The fish tacos I ordered were delicious and generously portioned. What stood out the most was the friendly service. Tony, the owner, made us feel special like family. I will definitely return on my next visit to the city! Love this place! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Joe Joe on the Ridge last weekend after hearing about its birria tacos and I have to say, they did not disappoint! The tacos were incredibly tender and bursting with flavor. The homemade guacamole was a delightful addition, incredibly fresh and creamy. The atmosphere is so inviting, especially with the cozy patio area. The owner, Tony, was extremely friendly and made us feel right at home. Highly recommend giving this place a try! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing a lot about this place, I finally got the chance to try it. The birria tacos were as good as everyone raved about! They were juicy, full of flavor, and generous in size. The margarita had a perfect tang while maintaining freshness. The outdoor dining area has a fantastic atmosphere perfect for summer nights! Will definitely recommend it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious food and beautiful ambiance! We came on a Friday night and the atmosphere was vibrant. The staff were incredibly friendly, checking in frequently without being intrusive. I had the quesadilla, which was yum but could have been slightly more generous in serving size. Overall, I'd recommend visiting! " (*Curated Review*)

" Joe Joe on the Ridge is a must-try if you find yourself in New Orleans! Each bite was bursting with flavor. We ordered an array of dishes to share, but the tacos stole the show. They are unlike any other I’ve had—true comfort food! The atmosphere felt familial, and the service was top-notch. I really appreciated how Tony made our experience so personal. Can’t wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a great evening at Joe Joe on the Ridge! The menu is so diverse; I loved having several options to choose from. We opted for the tacos and hummus platter and everything was fresh! Lovely outdoor space as well, perfect for summer nights. Tony and his family clearly care about their customers and make an effort to provide a memorable experience. I will return for sure!
