“Very Good Food , Clean Restaurant Good customer services“

“It's not often that a quick stop at a fast-food restaurant leaves a lasting impression, but this Taco Bell certainly did. I visited around 6:30 p.m. on July 3, 2026, and ordered two Beefy Potato Grillers. They were prepared exactly as they should be—fresh, hot, generously filled, and wrapped with care.

What stood out most was the level of consistency and attention to detail. The food was served promptly, and it was evident that the staff took pride in the quality of what they prepared. In an industry where speed often comes at the expense of quality, this location managed to deliver both exceptionally well.

If this experience is any indication of their everyday standards, they've earned a loyal customer. My compliments to the team for providing outstanding service and an excellent meal that I will remember for eternity.“

“This place was AMAZING!! The food was so thoughtfully creative and prepared with obvious talent and love. We enjoyed meeting owner brothers and hearing their story of bringing their Yucatan culture and roots to the St. Louis food scene. Everything we tried was beyond delicious. This is a must-try for authentic Mexican food inspired by the Yucatan region.“

“I used to go here once sometimes twice a week when I lived in town while I was a traveling nurse. As someone who’s lived all over the country this is by far one of the best Mexican restaurants I’ve ever been to, and great service! Keep up the good work!! Much love from Maine!“

“Wow wow wow!! Their food is incredible & the prices are great! I don’t get Mexican food often but when I do , I’ll drive the 45 minutes to get Taco Wey & Grill ❣️✨“

“Great food, efficient and friendly service and very clean restaurant! My husband and I have dined at el Mayor several times and keep going back because we are never disappointed! The owner is usually seen checking on tables to confirm satisfaction. Margaritas are great!“

“Quesoburrias Tacos are 🔥🔥🔥🔥“

“I have been there many times, and I have always received great service from all the waitresses. Carolina and Luisa will make you feel welcome and brighten your day. I've been through most of their menu and even asked them to pick a meal they thought was the best for me, and I was happily surprised at how wonderful it was. When they first opened, I had a going-away party for a friend with 12 people, and they could not have been more accommodating. Sidenote: if you've not had the choriqueso dip, you are in for a treat.“

“coming from Texas, I've been trying to find good Mexican food. this place is absolutely delicious and well priced. the hospitality and friendliness of the staff alone make this place quickly one of my favorites.“

“I was blown away! Not only are they open on Sundays, they have the tastiest, freshest chips and salsa I've ever tried. Enjoyed my shrimp chimichanga, as well as the rice and beans. Everything was wonderful. I'm recommending them to everybody.“

“This place was amazing. They immediately sat our last minute party of twelve, the food was impeccable, and the service even better. Definitely recommend.“

“Had stayed away forever because, come on…Casa Romero. We were going to go back to our norm (which in all honest, had been mediocre at best the last handful of times). Of course, we couldn’t get on the parking lot, so I decided to roll the dice. I am so happy we did. This is our new home for Mexican food. The service, the food, the drinks, the cleanliness of the building, the bathrooms…the ample parking…I cannot wait to go back and enjoy the insanely good quesabirria tacos again.“

“They have everything I need“

“Great food and even greater service. Faith was absolutely amazing!“

“I love La Catrina but when your alcohol license is expired you need to tell people before you seat them and bring them chips please. Thank you.“

“Always an amazing meal and such great service! I choose it each time it’s my turn to pick dinner night 😍“

“We highly recommend the fried tacos! Best we’ve found around town! The salsa is amazing! Hailey and Trinity are awesome, friendly, helpful servers who add to the whole experience! We will be back lots and lots!!!“

“This is the only Taco Bell we go to any more. They always get our orders right & the service is usually fast. When it's NOT fast then I still don't mind because we've watched them be swamped but they work together & get our food as quickly as possible. I can't blame someone if they're already busy & working hard when we place our order. But we'll keep coming back here because they DO work quickly & make sure that they get things right.“

“Shout out to Josie and the crew that was there at 1am this morning! We just got home from 14-hour flight from Japan and were starving. I placed our order online as we left the airport, but forgot to change the time we'd be at the restaurant. I called and I'm assuming it was Josie who answered (got her name from my receipt) - she was so sweet and accommodating and said she'd hold the order until closer to 1am. When we pulled in, they were in the process of making our order. The food was hot, fresh, and they definitely didn't skimp on the portions! You definitely don't expect that good of service from most places a this hour. Thanks so much, Taco Bell crew!“
