Start with the Classics: Trejo’s & Nicky’s Mexican Restaurants
Welcome to Shreveport-Bossier, where Southern charm blends seamlessly with a vibrant fusion of cultures and a fiesta of flavors. Here, Mi Casa Es Su Casa, and you simply can’t leave without stopping by some of these local gems to savor their incredible dishes and drinks.
Taco Lovers’ Paradise: Taqueria San Miguel & El Novillo Meat Market
Start your journey by visiting one of our traditional, long-standing establishments, Trejo’s Mexican Restaurant or Nicky’s Mexican Restaurant. With multiple locations around the city, both offer an extensive selection of dishes that pair perfectly with a margarita. I recommend the delicious enchiladas at Trejo’s and the sizzling fajitas at Nicky’s Mexican.
If you’re craving authentic flavor with handmade tortillas, head to Taqueria San Miguel for street tacos made with freshly prepared tortillas. Or, take a trip to El Novillo Meat Market, a market-restaurant hybrid that transports you straight to Mexico. El Novillo is well-loved for its daily fresh pastries, savory tamales, and tacos. Both shops have been champions of the Taco War Festival.
Say Cheese: Birria, Quesabirrias & Pizzabirrias at La Reyna del Sur
Birria lovers will delight in Taqueria La Reyna del Sur’s unique quesabirrias and pizzabirrias. Pair them with a refreshing horchata for the perfect combination!
Tex-Mex with a Twist: Ramirez Mexican Restaurant
Another delicious option is Ramirez Mexican Restaurant, where Tex-Mex and authentic Mexican cuisine come together. Be sure to try their Crazy Piña, an explosion of flavors that’s a must-have! And don’t miss out on their great variety of margaritas.
End on a High Note: Ki’ Mexico in the Highland Neighborhood
To wrap up your culinary tour, make a stop at Ki’ Mexico, located in the historic and vibrant Highland neighborhood, known for its diverse community and stunning architecture. Here, you’ll enjoy food and drinks crafted with soul and style. I recommend trying the Poblano and Cochinita Pibil tacos for a taste of authentic Yucatán cuisine.
Thank you for visiting us, and Vaya con Dios, amigo!
