LA HISTORIA
When you step into Lengua Madre, you're stepping into the kitchens of Ana Castro's grandmother in Mexico City, her adolescent apartment in Denmark, and her adult home in New Orleans. It's eclectic, charming, and gracious — just like her.
Ana reintroduces you to true Mexican cuisine with Lengua Madre, the first of its kind in New Orleans. Immerse yourself in an intimate experience that holds reverence for interesting, cultural food, drink, and the people that create it.
We offer a 5 course tasting from the depths of Mexican cuisine rooted in southern American sensibilities. The menu changes seasonally, doing a full turn every 5-6 weeks.
