Not at all pleased with the food. Ordered shrimp and half of the plate had just the heads of the shrimp. The shrimp were different and not bad at all. But I had paid 26 dollars for a half a lb of shrimp.
I had the Enchiladas Suizas and it was the best Mexican food I've ever had. The staff was very friendly and the food came out fast. I would highly recommend this place.
Went for birthday party. They had buffet set up the food was delicious. The margaritas were great too.
The food was awesome, if you like authentic Mexican food
Authentic Mexican food, very good
Food not so good okay drinks
If you want real ethnic Mexican food this is the place to go. They even have a Mexican grocery store in the front. This is my favorite Mexican restaurant.
Love this place!!! Excellent food!!!
I love the fish out there...always take my family out there for the food.
Good food and drinks. Last time I was there the Cadillac margaritas were on point well worth the money. Our party sat at a high top by the bar and the bartender was our waiter, service was great.
Went for brunch on a weekend. We were seated I the back section where there were a couple of large parties. The food was good, but the service was very slow on every count because our waiter was busy with the large groups. From getting us …
Great food. Mixed drink was horrible. Service was ok
Awesome margaritas! Great food and a lot to eat!
Great portions. Lengua enchiladas were on point!
The food is great and staff is very friendly. This is the only Mexican restaurant that I have been in this area that has great food that compares to the one in Omaha , Nebraska
Excellent food!
Some of the best Mexican food I've had. Great taste and they even have a store attached that sells Paletas!
First time there and we had a party of about 25 people. Very nice atmosphere, they were super friendly, great food, & amazing margaritas. They have a store as well with fresh meat and produce.
Friendly space, good food! Real authentic Mexican for a good price, I love this place! Been coming here for 5 years
Great food and great prices!!
one of my fav places to eat..
the best Mexican food around

Love love love this place service is always amazing Cadillac Margaritas are the best and the food is always fantastic we take all of our friends who are visiting from out of town here
I always love coming here for the food and drinks. Great service and of course the food is to die for. I always recommend people from work to come here and they love it to.
Delicious food and very polite staff also I love to play the machine's while were waiting on our food BUT where I play the machines it is ALWAYS super hot so please turn up the A/C there !!! Thank you
Tacos were outstanding, and the margaritas were well-made!
Great food and drinks
Excellent food, service, atmosphere
We love this resturant. The food is authentic. The Cadillac is tasty. Enjoy ourselves all the time
Great food
Food was good, came out quick. Asked for a drink menu to see margarita sizes, prices, etc. But was told there isn't one. A customer asked for something on draft but was told they don't have any drafts (even with 4 taps visible on bar.) Waitress was friendly and spoke super good English though so that's a plus.
I'm not really into Mexican food but it was okay food wise. My wife suggested this place and the service was awful and slow. It wasn't like that the first time she went according to her but the service was so slow that we ended up leaving. …
Awesome food and service
Excellent food, reasonable price and friendly staff. A little off the beaten path but worth it
Food is always fantastic
You don't need to go to Cherokee St to get truly authentic Mexican. This is one of our favorite places. It started as a market serving food and has evolved into a full restaurant with market. Extensive menu has the good meats. Don't expect ground beef tacos here. They have goat barbacoa, lingua, tripe etc. Just go. Then go across the street to No Tierra, which is my personal favorite.
Richie was awesome!! Explained everything very well when asked and was very attentive!
most amazing Mexican food I've had outside of Mexico!
Fantastic, one of the best choices to get the authentic Mexican cuisine around here. The biggest thing for me is they're menu, which is much closer to authentic Mexican than the tex-mex that most places have. My only down side is that the service can sometimes be not so great, but the food is golden.
Nice place exelente service..
The best food and service.
Love n Patience With The Service Provided
Food is very authentic,and tastes great! Definitely worth the drive.
Food was great but the server was slow. Later we found out that she was more worried about chatting with her friend than providing us with customer service. We noticed the other servers were a lot more attentive to their guests so it was probably just the one. Prices were about $10/plate. We will go back and hope to be seated in a different area.
Great food
Best place for Mexican food!
Best Mexican restaurant I have ever been to in my life!! " Phenomenal " is the only word I think of when I think of this restaurant.
This hidden gem has authentic Mexican food. Food and Marquritas are fabulous , service has always been wonderful.
This place has HUGE oysters for reasonable prices. Margaritas are always great and consistent here!
If I use my credit card, they charge me 1 dollar more. It's not right, a little customer service
Good torta
worst Mexican restaurant in Fairmount and collinsville. if you want good Mexican food go to El Bronco in STL
Good place for the prive
Best Mexican food I've ever had. Ordered the cadillac margarita and the chicken enchiladas, it was DELISH!
Our first visit last night-excellent food-we'll be back
Omg, what a fantastic place to eat at. Food was on point and so yummie. Too bad we are from out of town :(
The food was absolutely amazing and we also got margaritas and they were awesome! We split desert among us and it was a perfect ending to the meal. Will definitely be back.
Very authentic! Tacos were good and portions were large. Service was great.
Good place to eat. Reasonable $, food was good, if a little under seasoned for me, and plenty of it. Friendly staff. Cool Mexican store in front of the restaurant. Large menu that makes decisions hard. Will go back.
Love eating here but had to do a review after today's experience... Juan, our waiter was excellent and our food came out fast, hot and prepared perfect, just as ordered! Have been going here since it was a small building with a few tables and grocery store. It has definitely blossomed into a family friendly place that I love taking my family to for any meal of the day! The lengua is perfect!
Very nice, and family friendly
The best authentic Mexican restaurant on this side of the river! I grocery shop and eat in and carry out all the time. My family loves it!
If u haven't tried this place you may want to have your're head examined
I didnt eat here. Just went to grocery store . Which is fantastic . Filled with anything Mexican ingredients you could want and an amazing meat case . I got the marinated skirt steak . I made steak street tacos and they were really really good .
Si senor is waaay better
The food is absolutely delicious. But the service is sub par.
service was terrible. server never came back after taking our order. we only saw the food runner. waited forever for drinks and food..then my tacos were wrong and my tamales didnt come out. after waiting 10 min after everyone elses food came i got up to ask and no one knew anything about them tamales..by the time I got my food everyone one else was done asked for manager and was told it was his day off asked them to take my food off and they could keep it since I couldnt eat and was told only the manager could approve that so I had to pay for it and call him the next day. will NEVER go back
This is the best Mexican food restaurant we have found in this area. Prices are very reasonable, too.
Great place
Really good Mexican Food!!
Best bang for buck on authentic Mexican I've had. Swear every time I go to this place I spend $60-80, and leave with like two leftover boxes and dinner for the next day. Place is fantastic.
Very authentic with great sea food.
So I love this place for the food and the margaritas but my service has been mixed sometimes I got someone who is pleasant and makes it a 5/5 and other times I get ignored and the only reason I didn't walk out was because I know how good the food is
I got a HUGE burrito + sides for $10. So so good. Will be going back.
Great place to eat and shop
Great atmosphere, friendly service.
Authentic Mexican food. The food and service was outstanding!!!
Waitresses are rude and chips N salsa suck
This place is in the middle of nowhere, but that factor makes this place even more interesting because is quiet and more personal with the service, food is 100% authentic Mexican with a full bar, Ideal for lunch and not so late Dinner, recommended
This place is AWESOME!!! REAL DEAL Mexican cuisine!! Stuff you won't find on any other menu this side of the boarder. Do you believe in God?
Best Mexican in all of St Louis. El pastor chimichanga is amazing.
The food was the best! Definitely returning
The portions, the prices, the service, all top notch. Chips served with 2 kinds of salsa and fresh pico degallo (which was fantastic). I had the flour tortilla tacos with carne asada and goat barbacoa. Both were delicious. Arrive hungry, and leave full!
Food was great, prices were fair, service was fast.
I had some of the best mexican food I've had right here.
Good service and great atmosphere. Have had a better chimichanga though. Lol
I love the store & the burrito at the restaurant is supreme. I love this hidden little gem.
This is not your typical chain Mexican restaurant. If you like it spicy/hot they have it! Large portions I was able to get 3 meals from my dinner plate.
This just might be the most Mexican place I've eaten at so far in or around St. Louis in all this time! The food is really good. No cheese to ruin the flavours. You can distinguish the spices and ingredients used in each dish. We accidentally landed here because the actual destination was closed and stood right opposite. I'm glad we found it!
The Ambience is GREAT!!!!! The Staff is very Friendly, Courteous, Attentive. The food is Great, Hot, & Fresh!!!!!
It really depends on what you order But everything is really good prices are a little high sometimes again it depends on what you order plates are full and plenty
Super nice restaurant the only problem I have was on the front with the big heavyweight women but everything else is fantastic I will come back 4 ⭐️ If want for that probably I think I will say 5 but for now it’s 4
to eat there was not a chose rather than the only option available to get some food during our Route66 tour...we had poor expectations...BUT we definitely had a great dinner with delicious food and friendly service!!! Price was also fine!
Good food. Some of the TVs dont work and the music they play doesnt match the aesthetic of the restaurant. But the little store they have inside is nice, it has a lot of cookies and candies
The restaurant is Clean, good Mexican food with a little store with a lot of Mexican products
Good food
Food was good. Slow service. Waited over half hour for food. Server kept change from cash payment. Had to ask for change back. Was not leaving 500% tip.
So tasty. So flavorful. Delish!
Love the food, if you haven't tried them out yet come and get me
Excellent Mexican food. Good margaritas. Nice atmosphere, but loud. Prices range from medium (about 9 / 10 ) to medium high (about 19 /20 / market price).
Nice place and good food
From my multiple experiences at this mexican restaurant the food has always been good, but the service has not. I honestly feel if they want customers to keep coming back the service needs to be a little better. This restaurant is honestly worth the try if you want a good meal. Remember nobody is perfect in this world, but you can improve to be better.
It's awesome I love their food
It is worth the trip to go shopping for ingredients for a good Mexican dish, and if you stay for a meal at the restaurant you will NOT regret, the food is one of the best Mexican near St. Louis
Awesome food today. Definitely will be coming back with friends and family. Now I need a siesta!
Always a welcoming smile, and the most delightfully authentic food in the area. I love this restaurant.
The food is always good, however the service is very slow. Expect on your stay to be 1.5-2 hours. So don’t be in a hurry
Food is outstanding. Great atmosphere. Friendly people.
Amazing food, great atmosphere and the staff is extremely attentive. The Marisco menu is fire.
Had a great time, great, fresh food and fun servers and bartenders
I used to come here years ago everyday for lunch and got the same thing. I big steak and cheese
Great food, clean atmosphere and knowledgeable people. For authentic Mexican food you have to try this place family oriented family friendly
Quality food & great service!
OMG... THE FOOD IS ALWAYS DELICIOUS HERE !!! ALWAYS
Amazing Mexican food. Unique atmosphere. Great service.
Great authentic Mexican food
