Experience East Saint Louis' Mexican food at these fantastic spots.
“Food taste is great, would definitely recommend it. We've been there twice and plan to go again. Having said that, the service is good, don't expect them to go above and beyond for you, they can get kind of grumpy if you don't make a decision fast (even if there's no line). Kind of pricey for just a snack type food, and prices are not posted anywhere so they could just tell you whatever price. And.......they only take cash, so stop by an ATM and be prepared.“
“The restaurant is great.. food looks great and tastes even better. Mariscos in the STL area. Plates are huge, make sure you come with a good crown to try everything. Music was too loud we couldn’t even talk…I cannot wait to be back again.Great experience ????“
“This is the best taco stand ever. I literally go to Cahokia mounds steps to have an excuse to stop here. I don't know if I'm hurting my weight lost or not but these street Tacos with the green sauce are divine. And I hate street tacos LOL.“
“The whole atmosphere is like you were visiting in Mexico.This restaurant has authentic Mexican food with servers. You walk through a Mexican grocery store to get to the restaurant in the back. They have a meat counter where you can order prepared food to cook at home.Kid-friendliness: It is kid friendly.Wheelchair accessibility: It is wheelchair accessible.“
“I was pleasantly surprised to find a truck-stop with a Taco Bell! Usually there’s the less desirable option. This location has it figured out. I was impressed with how friendly the staff was, how clean the dining area was, and how good the food was. (You know it can hit and miss) The quality and attention to detail came through on this visit and did not go unnoticed.Kid-friendliness: There were multiple families dining at the same time I was there.Parking: One of the better Pilot stations. They had tractor parking and tractor trailer parking with a lot of room to improvise on crowded nights.Wheelchair accessibility: Handicap parking right out the front door and flat ground for easy entry.“
“The food was delicious. My wife had the 6th street fajita taco, and she said it was the best she had ever had. I ordered the Carmen Burrito without the cheese to keep it vegan. The grilled sweet potatoes with their rice and black beans were spiced so perfectly. It also had other veggies. I asked to see if they sold their spice, but unfortunately, not. The chips and salsas are not the standard salsa. It is also delicious. All staff was very friendly, and our waitress, Emily, was very personable, engaging in good conversation. We also had a margarita and Paloma. The margarita was delicious, and my wife loved her Paloma. I'm not sure when we'll be back in St Louis, but when we do, we will definitely come back. It's within 3 miles of the Missouri Botanical Gardens. Enjoy the gardens, then relax here. We highly encourage everyone to visit this restaurant.Vegetarian options: The Carmen Burrito is vegetarian, and can be vegan by eliminating the cheese. There are other options.“
“Absolutely love the staff, food and margaritas! This is our regular spot on a Friday night to have a pitcher of margaritas. The staff is always so nice and helpful and why we keep coming back. They are always so accomodating as well. It's anfun atmosphere and we will keep coming back!“
“I tried two different vegetarian tacos and they were delicious. I could eat them every day. My daughter thought the kids hot dog was extra delicious also. Service is great.Vegetarian options: Nice variety in the vegetarian section of the menu. I tried tofu tacos and avocado/black bean tacos. Both were excellent.Kid-friendliness: Kids menu has at least 10 meal choices.“
“Ok guys let's have a quick talk about Kokes. I'm a first timer here. But I decided on the All American Burger. A burger with egg, cheese, and bacon. Easy. Aaaand wow. Nailed it. Just add some mustard and you've got yourself a sandwich you can't put down. Not to mention the wings and the tamale we had for an appetizer. The surrounding neighborhood does not reflect the atmosphere here. On the way I though, where the hell am I going? Leaving here I know where I'm going again.“
