About Us: Mexican Food Today at French Quarter
Our Story
In 2017, we set out to create a digital space that celebrates and explores the vibrant culture of Mexican cuisine within the enchanting French Quarter—a melting pot of history and gastronomy. Founded by passionate food enthusiasts, Mexican Food Today at French Quarter (MFTFQ) was born out of a desire to bridge the gap between authentic culinary experiences and modern digital access.
Our journey began with the recognition that while New Orleans’ French Quarter is renowned for its rich cultural heritage, including its Mexican influences, there was a lack of comprehensive online resources dedicated solely to this specific aspect. We aimed to fill this void by offering an engaging, user-friendly platform that showcases the ever-evolving landscape of Mexican dining in the Quarter.
