Queen Trini Lisa
Included In
Queen Trini Lisa is our pick for the best casual lunch in New Orleans. If you’re around Mid-City, use their chickpea-loaded doubles box to fuel up for a day of exploring cemeteries. It’s also completely worth it to go out of your way to try their smoky and slightly sweet BBQ jerk chicken. There are just a few tables, but it’s never super busy, so you can relax over a spicy lunch while dancehall plays from the speakers. This is a perfect pit stop before checking out the sculpture garden at the nearby New Orleans Museum of Art.
