How about a tamale or a fish taco to go with your Pat O'Brien's Hurricane or Big Ass beer?
Welcome to Fajitas y Margaritas, one of the newest tenants to move onto Bourbon Street after Hurricane K. Located in the heart of the French Quarter, the sidewalk kitchen is just a couple of doors down from Big Daddy's, the strip club best known for the pair of mannequin legs swinging from the front window.
I discovered this joint Wednesday night during a two-hour stroll up and down Bourbon Street.
You can't find a Lucky Dog cart selling hot dogs on Bourbon Street to save your life, but an $8 burrito is just around the corner.
Ethnic food, outside of pseudo-Cajun cuisine stereotyped to the hilt for the most indiscriminating tourist palate, has been traditionally hard to find along New Orleans' main tourist strip. That makes Fajitas y Margaritas all the more remarkable.
At the very least, the shop boldly declares the arrival of the city's newest immigrant population.

Ooo...Honey, if the family-style country buffet restaurant gods hear your mocking, next thing you know, Bourbon Street will be sprouting one of those less-than-gay-friendly, super-tacky, Christian-family-filled Cracker Barrel restaurants!
