Absolutely fantastic food and hospitality! A huge 10 out of 10! Best guacamole in the city and the specials are phenomenal. Highly recommend for locals and visitors.

A great intimate and friendly atmosphere with amazing fresh food and drinks. We stumbled here by accident and it turned out to be amazing. Be sure to chat a bit with Manny.

The food was delicious and the service was great! Cash-only caught us off guard, but they have an ATM machine inside. Can't wait to go back!!!

La Macarena was a small quaint restaurant with good lighting and friendly service. The lunch menu had several breakfast, lunch, and vegan options. I ordered the Ropa Vieja. It was delicious and tasted clean (not heavily salted and fresh ingredients). All in all, it was a great experience of El Salvadoran cuisine.

This place is absolutely amazing! From the atmosphere to the food. Everything was delicious including the in house made passionfruit beverage! Each dish was authentic and fresh. The owner Manny is delightful and a breath of fresh air! I am only upset that I have lived in New Orleans this long and this was only my first time going! I will be back and bringing friends! Highly recommend!

It is an small but confortable place.the food is freshly prepared. Also, if you’re Latino, you’re gonna feel a home made food same as abuelita’s house, and an excellent costumer service

La Macarena is the place to go if you're looking for authentic Salvadorian cuisine.A little place with exceptional quality for the price. The owner Manny made our experience an amazing one. He's full of life and great stories. Don't leave without trying the flan. It is to die for!P.S this place is cash only.
