Baton Rouge Perkins Rowe
South Baton Rouge's most vibrant dining destination — where hand-crafted Mexican flavors, theatrical cocktails, and a jaw-dropping interior come together at the heart of Perkins Rowe
Right in the Heart of Perkins Rowe
Tucked inside Baton Rouge's most beloved open-air lifestyle center — minutes from the Mall of Louisiana — we're the perfect pause between a day of shopping and a night worth remembering.
A Space That Stops You Cold
From the flowering wisteria canopy overhead to the sun-drenched patio outside, our Perkins Rowe buildout is one-of-a-kind. Guests call it 'beautiful,' 'really cool,' and 'unlike anything in Baton Rouge' — and we have to agree.
Brunch, Birthdays, and Beyond
Whether you're toasting a birthday or diving into birria tacos on a random Tuesday, every visit feels like an occasion. The food is extraordinary, the drinks are 10/10, and the energy is contagious.

Most Festive Table
Pink blossoms overhead, trompo spinning in the kitchen, margaritas that make you stay for one more. Welcome to Tacos del Cartel.
The Trompo al Pastor
Seasoned meat stacked on a traditional spit, carved to order and folded into a fresh tortilla — this is the dish that started it all.
Cocktails Worth the Drama
Rose-shaped glasses. Smoke that curls across the table before you even take a sip.
From the Kitchen
Born Bold, Built to Celebrate
In 2020, Danny Cruz and Vilexis Salas launched Tacos del Cartel as a culinary love letter to Mexico's vibrant streets and New Orleans' soulful energy — and the audacity to open a restaurant when the world stood still.
What our guests are saying
Great buildout and food here. Good vibe. We ordered a sushi roll as an appetiser – can’t remember which one but really good – I think a shrimp tempura base? Chips and salsa just right. Super service and really nice venue.
