ZÓCALO
COCINA MEXICANA Y CANTINA
2051 METAIRIE ROAD, METAIRE
Zócalo is a Mexican restaurant on Metairie Road in the former Vega Tapas Cafe location. Edgar Caro and his business partner, Antonio Mata, created Zocalo to be about the food, the culture, and the different ingredients found in Mexican culture. They developed their interest in Mexican cooking together, on trips to the culinary hubs of Oaxaca and Mexico City. There is more trips planned ahead which means more delicious plates to be added on the menu!
BASIN
SEAFOOD AND SPIRITS
3222 MAGAZINE STREET, UPTOWN
The idea for Basin began several years ago when Chef and Owner of Baru, Edgar Caro, returned from a fishing trip with his friends. He caught a snapper and made it into a dockside ceviche. His friends said it was one of the best fish preparations they had ever tasted.
Along with his friend Antonio Mata, they decided to open Basin, a seafood restaurant serving modernized, lighter versions of traditional Louisiana dishes. Basin sources the best possible ingredients from local sources, highlighting seasonal vegetables and Gulf fish in our daily specials.
Basin offers sidewalk seating along the busiest sector of Magazine Street. We also have a lush courtyard for additional seating and a relaxing escape from the city.
