Reviews of El Burro Loco (Restaurant)

Blossom Bloom

This is very fun place...very crowded on weekends. They even play music for birthday and special occasion on your request. They also have open area to eat as well as you can eat inside. They also have some vegetarian dishes. The decor is very colorful....and they have diff types of drinks also.

This place is great!! Have only been there once but already plan to go back and try other menu items. Had the vegetarian tacos, they had were flavorful and serving size was large. I also tried bites of the cheese chili rellano and enchilada, scrumptious! Margaritas were strong & made with white tequila, salsa and salsa picoza were both really good! Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, perfect for parties!

Michele Hern

Margarita was amazing (raspberry) Food was wonderful. Great outdoor patio

FriskyDingo

First time trying it. Definitely didn't blow me away. Tequila and mezcal selection was pretty decent. Food was pretty good. Service was okay. Nothing particularly standout, but I would give it another try.

Tamika Linton

Loved the drinks and the food. The service was good also will be back when I'm in town

Missy Blade

Jose Estrada

Excellent service and the food is great love it ❤

Mortina Simmons

I have had better. Didn't care for the ground beef, or the caso. Good service, just not impressed. The location makes it pricy, not the food.

Greg Wilkerson

Its Americanized Mexican food, everything is delicious, service and staff are wonderful. Great Fish tacos!

Shelby Wrozier

Favorite Mexican restaurant in the city. Food is good and cheap, environment is fun. Service is good if it's not super busy.

Troll Troll

Some of the best service I've had in St. Louis! Good food and some fun live music made this place a winner.

Jody Grizzel-West

Service was slow on a non-busy day and not a lot of traffic. Food was average, not bad, but not overly good. Compared to our regular Mexican restaurant, the bill was almost 3x as much. Will not go back.

Lynne Hart

Definitely the hot spot to be on a Saturday night the live entertainment was Marcos Medina singing tableside Romantics and request and we had a blast having a very long dinner outside. There were very few tables available during the time we were there which was about 6 until 9:30 but the atmosphere was festive all the patrons were friendly and the service was fantastic!

Veronica Ortega

Nice little place. Food was good . Would love to go back and try more .

Larry Baden

Good food, fair service. Long wait. NO parking.

Krista Hyde

This place is totally overwhelming! Piped music competes with a mariachi band and the hockey game. The decor is Big and Colorful. The food is just OK, but the service is good and the ambiance is fun!

Debbie Weaver

Great food great atmosphere and Adam our waiter was fantastic. Would definitely recommend it to anyone. Plenty of food and priced great.

Jennifer Mosby

The food and drinks were awesome, another one of my favorite Spot

Bobby Steinshouer

Great atmosphere. Food and service were good. Salsa was great, tasted homemade. Chips were not homemade, they were not very fresh. Overall a good experience!

Taco Nine Shellly

My best friends and I frequent this place. When we're all in town, we're there usually twice a week. The fajitas are the best thing popping. And the music is always a mood lifter if you've had a bad day. I'd recommend this place to somebody who is allergic to Mexican foods because it's that good!

Dachi

Food was good service could of been a bit better

James Christopher

Not from the area, but this place was recommended and it didn’t disappoint. So good.

Mike Roemerman

Went to the new location on opening day and was thoroughly impressed! the service and food was so good, I had no idea it was their first day.

Brittany Carter

Great food and nice drinks

Rosalinda Garcia

Fun atmosphere and fantastic authentic food. Order the horchata! You won't be disappointed

Christina Stanfield

Great food, cool atmosphere, but really loud

Cesar Castellanos

The drinks are super good and so is the price for beer and cocktails. The food is pretty good. I wouldn’t say it’s too different from most Mexican restaurants but the decor is really bright and colorful which I do like. It creates a fun atmosphere. I’ve been here a few times and it was good for a date and hanging out with friends that were in town.

david payne

This was a good experience. The jamaican margarita was fantastic and h u g e. I ordered a chicken and veggies dish with rice and cheese sauce. It tasted good and was a large portion. However, the sauce covered the entire entree and was super rich. I couldn't finish it. One, because large. Two, because rich. The server was good. She shared a moment with my fellow guest when I tried to pronounce words in Spanish. It was fun.

Quintijo Ellis

The restaurant is colorful and has a nice layout. The food was very tasty. Loved the drinks and staff.

Chris Massey

Had the lunch mixed fajitas: chicken and beef with peppers and onions. Beans, rice, pico, lettuce and sour cream. Less than $10.00

Brandy Fenner

Always good food and a fun atmosphere! Quick service for food and drinks

Yvonne E Taylor

Food and service was great!

Mike Dotson

Excellent food at affordable prices! Plus, everyone was very attentive, and our food was served incredibly quickly!

Pearl Tolbert

Very nice. Hope we have one in Texas

Anjelique Levenberry

Fun festive ambiance! The food is amazing! I especially love the fajitas sizzling at tyhe table yummmmmmmm. The best guacamole ive ever had!!!! Yes definitely

Julia Vogel

We went here for the Tour De Taco Bike Ride but we will be returning just to eat! A pitcher of margaritas was the perfect way to chill out after the ride. Love the patio space out front.

P McC

I don't get to visit this awesome establishment enough. The decor is fabulous! As a matter of fact, I have noticed other new establishments popping up in STL that are borrowing a thing or two from their look/style! The portions are huge!!! Those big burritos are BIG BURRITOS!!! I'm not kidding!!! The help is fabulous, as well. After several visits, I've never had a single complaint about the food, service or ANYTHING!!! I can't recommend this place enough! I only wish I had the time to visit them more often! Love it!!! More locations, please!!! More specifically, the Hampton/Chippewa area!!!

kishore challa

I paid a visit today and the food is really really delicious and have the live music and nice outside ambience. We have ordered chicken wings, veg enchiladas and some Mexican named food all of them have their own different delicious taste. Must try place. And as it said it’s very crowded so expect delays in food/bills if you go on peak times.

B Omara

Food was ok..Salsa was great. Not enough staff. Had to get my own dinnerware And find the waitress to order 2nd drink And to get our check. Boyfriend won't go back. I might try for lunch and see if it was just short staffed.

Jason Moore

Good Mexican food with a fun atmosphere. Mariachis were there on a Friday night, if your looking for a quiet place, this isn't it.

Aimee Villet

Amazing margaritas, solid food. Cool atmosphere. Friendly staff.

John Bito

Delicious enchiladas! Good decor & service

Jeff Pettegrew

Very good selection of tequilas and mezcals. Tequilas are served in plastic shot glasses.

Sean Garland

Man this food is great. The atmosphere is awesome, staff was great. Outside eating place was pretty big.

Devan Augustine

Great food! Cool atmosphere! The house marg is delish as well!

Monique BossLibraDiva Hammond

First time here & the food was amazing! Little mix up with our order as my friend wanted no beans but they still did but the rectified the situation with most sincere apologies. Our waitress was amazing also! Definitely with visit again!

Lola Lola

I would not eat here again! I ordered a vegetable fajita & water with lemon. When the eater came, the glass was gross like it was never washed, with dirt/food hardened on the side. When the waitress saw me look at it, she offered to replace it. But the next one had something brown frozen inside one of the ice cubes, like the water was dirty. The vegetables tasted fake & were frozen vegetables. The food had absolutely no flavor! Would not spend money here again. The veggie fajita I get in town is mouthwatering. Foolish of me to think that just because this restaurant is on some posh side of the city it would at least compare.

Amanda Hopson

The frozen margaritas are ridiculously delicious and strong! I gave 4 stars because the food is disgusting. We had a table of 6 and we all sent our food back. However, the chips and salsa is tasty

Joseph Jacob

Decent Americanized Mexican fare. Three flavored margaritas are good. Outside patio is well done. Be sure to sit outside and enjoy the CWE people watching.

bassoul

My second time going and the food is great!

Jay thompson

Always get either the nachos or the chicken chimichangas here both awesome dishes. Although it gets super busy and crowded the staff is always attentive and quick to serve you. The food comes out very fast. Had to sit at the bar with my friend this time because all the tables where taken but the service was just as good. The margaritas are very good and the bartender was great

Jochen Kirn

Just a few lowlights of our visit: - the veggie options consist exclusively of bland cauliflower, carrots and broccoli. That's the kind of food that gives a vegetarian lifestyle a bad reputation. Come on, you can do so much better in this day and age. - at first, we got chicken enchiladas instead of veggie. When they were replaced, there was still some meat contamination in the dish. - ten minutes after the meal arrived, we also got our beers. - another five minutes later, our daughter's soup was served - rather sad than funny, they employ a mariachi but never turn down the music when he plays. The place was not incredibly busy or slow, just about right where kitchen and service usually perform. Not this place, management and staff just don't seem to care. Even for free, I will never try again.

Robert Gore

Good food, good prices, friendly and courteous staff. And awesomely decorated inside! Recommend!

Jimmy Valentine

This is my new favorite Mexican restaurant. The tastiest chili relleno I've had in town.

John Erik Nelson Originique Illuminate

Excellent customer service. The Mexican food was very authentic

Andy Triefenbach

Great food. Great service. Was pretty packed with people waiting for seating come 6pm on a Friday night. We got there at 5:30pm and were immediately seated.

Jason Townsend

If you are looking for good, strong margaritas at a good price...this is the place! The food and ambiance keep me coming back, and I've never had bad service.

Seven Heaven

OMG! You can't ever go wrong here. It's very affordable. If you love Mexican but your guest doesn't they have the best chicken for 10.00. They have fries. You can even budget date here. The steak platter is so big for about 20.00 that it feeds two. Just know that you will not be disappointed. The environment is very cheerful.

dustin watkins

So good. Great Service. Surprisingly reasonable prices for the area.

Shayla Buckley

Everything was tastey and authentic. The frozen margarita was good and strong. Our waitress was helpful and friendly. Will definitely be back.

Angie Kohout

Went in for lunch. Was seated right away...no one came to get our order. We left after 20 minutes of sitting and waiting because if they did finally come for the order there was no way we would have had time to eat and pay by the time we needed to leave for an appointment.

Valerie Butterbredt

If your looking for somewhere with quick & cheap dining this is the place. The decor is awesome. Tables are a bit close together. Great service. Never had to ask for refills on soda. The chips and salsa are good but this is a mid-west twist on Mexican food. Frozen margaritas are delicious. I recommend the fried ice cream. I bought two meals, a frozen margarita, soda, and fried ice cream for $37. Great cost!

Arjun Kulshreshtha

Come here for authentic Mexican food and drinks. Good music coupled with a happy hour deal each day of the week, make a good combo. Tried the jumbo margaritas and nachos. Located at a convenient spot in CWE. Parking maybe hard to find sometimes though.

Alyssa Wright

Came in for dinner and got sat at the bar . Bartender was terribly rude. She didn’t even look old enough to serve me . Took a while to get my margarita. Did not ask me if I wanted another one. Food was decent but not great. I probably won’t come back

Kirsten Hogan

My spouse and I both loved this place! The restaurant is packed full of gorgeous decorations, the drinks were tasty, and the food was super reasonable.

D UP

Food was excellent and the service was superb. The Mariachi band was wonderful!

Tapan Khatri

Amazing spot, it's affordable and so "Mexican". There is a guy with a guitar going around and singing songs. The chips and salsa as well as your drinks are refilled before they are empty. Menu has alone vegetarian options as well and the bathrooms have a changing table. The also have crayons and kids menu. In summary, it's a great place, great food, great service, great ambience and something for everyone.

Paulo Costa

Well located in CWE but did not impress. Margarita picher was pure water and expensive. Gave a B for the food

Roxana Ortiz

Love the decoration but did not really like the food. It’s more mexican/american style which I personally don’t like too much but for those who do enjoy that type of food it would be a good option. Regular prices for the food but don’t think I would personally go again just because I always like something more authentic.

Jai Black

Food use to be great. Not sure what happen

Shawn Carpenter

The ambiance of the decorations are what you come to this place for. The food was less than appetizing. I got a burrito which I was hoping was packed with flavor. Instead it tasted very plain. There were no spices on any of the meat and the refried beans were boring. I'd recommend coming here ONLY for the patio and margaritas and eat elsewhere. Don't even bother get chips and salsa.

Tatiana Ariza

Good service. They serve a basket full of nachos for free. As my husband and I weren't very hungry, we decided to share a dish with taco, burrito, rice and salad. We're happy with our choice, as the nachos they gave us for free filled our bellies :P

thebakRzman

Wonderful food and atmosphere. They had a gentleman sitting on the patio serenading with authentic mariachi music. No complaints at all

johan van der merwe

N nice place for all of us it is a very lively place

alisha daniels

drinks were huge and very tasty food portions definitely made for a couples meal.

breaune sajna

The food was good, the only issue I have is the seating. The tables were entirely too close- every time someone got up it could potentially disturb others while they enjoy their meals. More room between tables please!!

Charris Wells

WORST EXPERIENCE EVER! I arrived as part of a fairly large party, my friends had just gotten engaged and we were going to dinner to celebrate. When I walked in I sat at the next table that the hostess said belonged to our party. A few minutes later, the hostess brought new guests to my table, the issue was they weren’t a part of our party. She never said a word to me, just sat the guests and walked away, leaving us to stare at each other awkwardly. A few minutes later an older Hispanic man (he had a guitar) arrived with more guests for the party that was now seated at my table and asked me to move so that they could sit where I had already been sitting for the last 20 minutes. I explained to him that the table was part of our party, but he just stared at me and started speaking to the other party in Spanish. I decided that since the night wasn’t about me, I would be non-confrontational and move. Meanwhile, I told the server what was going on and that I would be moving to a different table and she said that was ok and that she would still take my order since I was on a ticket with my wife, who was seated at the other table she was handling for our party. However, no one came to take my order. Even the original server for the table I moved to with the rest of my party didn’t notice that I was at the table and by the time someone did notice, the rest of the part were paying their checks. The server noticed the frustrated look on my face and came to apologize and ask if I wanted anything, I said no since we were leaving soon and just asked for a cup of water (Yes, you read that correctly. After all of this time I had not even been offered a glass of water.) The crazy thing is, THEY NEVER BROUGHT THE WATER! I ended up having the water of someone else at the table. Additionally, one of the other tables in my party was neglected as well. Their server took the orders of half of the table, brought the food out and gave them their bills, while the other half sat in awe. Then, when they asked the server to take their orders, the server became defensive as is she was in the right for not taking their orders. This was the absolute worst dining experience I’ve ever experienced and will encourage others not to patron this establishment. Completely unacceptable.

Carlton White

This was one of the best Mexican restaurants I've ever been to. Portions were great, the price was nice, the food was delicious and the customer service was awesome. The waitress made a great margarita as well!

This place was awesome. Everyone was super satisfied with their meals, they gave large portions, and their chips and salsa was the best from any mexican restaurant I have been to.

Sandra Yelle

Best Mexican Restaurant in St. Louis! We love their food, their Mexican singers and their owners and staff! I also like that most of them speak Spanish! Orale! Vamos para el Burro Loco todos! Saludos para nuestro amigo Fernando de parte de mi esposo Derek y yo!

Patricia C. Kay

This is a very lively and energetic place! The food arrived quickly and it came out temperature hot and quite tasty. As a margarita connoisseur, I was really impressed with my skinny version. It was made exactly as I had requested: strong, tangy and not too sweet. My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed our dinners and the margaritas!!

Andy Perez

Some of the best Mexican in town that I've had. Great live music sometimes from mariachi band and great staff and food!!

János Nagy

Super, super, super! My best Mexican food experience ever! The place is lovely, the food was amazing, the service is awesome. If I must eat here every day I don't mind.

G Leenhouts

Great food. Service is so-so.

Jiaying Liu

Not a big fan of Mexican food, but the decorations are awesome!! They have band playing at night in summer and you can eat outside while enjoying the music. Love it!

Chike Etumudor

Service is spot on and the food came out great! I would recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a great experience of Mexican food and culture.

Amy Spencer

Good food, great drinks, just a bit loud. You can sit outside which would have been great but we were there on a hot day.

Christina Brumleve

Had a couple of drinks here on a cooler Saturday night. Staff was very attentive. Great drink specials.

Kyle Bartley

Great food. Good service. Can be very crowded during the weekends.

Terry Kemper

Real, authentic Mexican cuisine, great place to gather, outdoor seating a plus!
