“My sister gifted my husband and I a gift card for Xmas. She works for three kings in south county another establishment with the same owners. The food and atmosphere at Three Kings is so great that we were thrilled to see they’d opened a Mexican restaurant as we love tacos! Just from walking up from the partying lot, I knew it would be great! The outside dining had lots of themed touches that were really nice! Soon as we walked in we were greeted and told of our wait time. we really appreciated that the hostess took our number and called us when our table was ready. We ended up sitting and waiting, we like to people watch :D the decor was gorgeous! I loved the succulent chandelier, the floral walls, the ceramic and the mosaic touches! All of their establishments are inviting and really create a nice atmosphere! Our server Charlie was friendly and knowledgeable regarding drinks and food! We each had a delicious margarita! The chips and salsa were fantastic! My husband ordered a smothered burrito and I opted for a taco plate. I was very impressed with the amount of options on the food especially for health conscious people- vegan, gluten free, etc! I loved that I could mix and match, I had a Baja fish taco and the vegan chorizo. Both were amazing! The slaw on the baja taco was sweet and crunchy! This was my first experience with vegan chorizo and it was the perfect amount of spicy! The plantains were delicious and basically became our dessert! We over indulged too much and skipped dessert, but we will be back soon so that we can order the Churros! Highly recommend checking out Tres Reyes and or Three Kings if you haven’t yet! You won’t be disappointed! :)“

“I love this restaurant. The menu is eclectic and the food is fantastic and the cocktails are really good. Great atmosphere inside and on the patio. I've been there for both lunch and dinner and the staff is very attentive and super nice. The Chicken Phad Thai Nachos are awesome!“

“Another amazing meal! Thank you Luis Bucio for creating such an incredible restaurant and culinary experience! ❤️“

“Love the food! Love the story behind how it came to be! Delicious drink options …and be sure to bookend your meal with chips & homemade salsa and then churros!“

“Great food, drinks, hours and staff! YOU MUST EAT HERE!“

“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!“

“I enjoyed this place with my siblings during a family reunion. Place was clean and server was polite and friendly. We wanted to grab a bite near our hotel and were in the mood for Mexican. Chips and salsa was good. We also got the queso, fresh guacamole and the chorizo with queso. All were good. I ordered the Cadillac margarita which comes 12oz 32oz and even larger. I went with 12oz but ended up ordering 2 as it looked more like 6oz by the size of the glass. (12oz is the size of a can of soda this was much smaller). I ordered the Enchiladas Carlitos which is 4 enchiladas. Beef, chicken, bean and cheese in a mole sauce. First time I had enchiladas in mole sauce so I am not sure what to use as a baseline. It was ok but I would probably order something else next time.
Rice and beans are extra. They were just barely warm despite waitress warning us the plates were hot.
Waitress did check on us often and kept the chips coming. She was probably the best part of the whole place.
I originally gave this a three ⭐️ but bumped it up to 4 because the owner reached out. I appreciate the effort.“

“Great trendy small plate version of Yucatán style food. Loved the mackerel, scallops and dumplings!!“

“Great food and drinks are the best“

“We love the delicious food and atmosphere at Chevys! We always ask for Maria Medina to be our server. She is always very attentive to us, has an awesome, warm, friendly attitude--always makes sure that our visits are exceptionally wonderful.“

“Delicious! Great place to get a quick local bite in Maplewood“

“As I sat watching one too many soccer games with my friends after work, my evening took an unexpected turn when my dinner companion and roommate texted me about a new tex-mex joint we had to try. Before I knew it, she was outside on a turquoise moped, ready to whisk me away to Los Arcos.

We arrived at this hidden gem of a restaurant and were greeted by a charming hostess. The menu was overwhelming with options, but we finally settled on our choices - enchiladas verdes for her and el pollo loco for me. The food was delicious, the portions were massive, and the cheese sauce was to die for.

After stuffing ourselves silly, we hopped back on the moped, full and content, thinking about our next culinary adventure. Los Arcos turned out to be a fantastic Mexican spot in south city with a wide variety of choices, cozy atmosphere, and friendly staff. Parking was a breeze, and the overall experience was nothing short of wonderful. Cheers to many more tex-mex escapades to come!“

“I've been going there for going on 20yrs, always love it. It's under new ownership and they improved many things that makes it more enjoyable. Waiter that waited on my table yesterday 6/20/24 was very nice and polite. Check them out, you won't be disappointed. 5 ?“

“Food was very good and hot. Service was also good. Awesome atmosphere. FYI they serve food until 12am on Friday and Saturday.“

“Let me just preface this by saying I moved here from South Texas and have spent more than my fair share of time in Old Mexico. In years of searching for REAL Mexican food in St Louis, I’ve had many disappointments. This place was absolutely fantastic and pure pleasure for an old Texan. It even made me shhh my wife because I wasn’t willing to remove my focus from the delicacy I was partaking in. Can’t recommend this place enough and haven’t been able to stop telling others about it. I’ll be a permanent fixture there for sure.“

“very good food and staff“

“We had a birthday party here and it was my first time. The food and the margheritas were superb! The staff was friendly, patient and Wonderful. They even let us bring our own cake and provided plates and forks!!“

“Yummy food and great service!“

“Only complaint is that they don't give you extra chips with the Fiesta Dip, just the ones they brought to the table with salsa when seated.“

“I've been interested in eating here for a few months. Of course, I went on one of their busiest days of the year... Cinco de Mayo. I had 3 fish tacos, and they were perfectly cooked and delicious. It took a little longer to get served (to be expected), but the staff was on their game. I can't wait to go back when they aren't so busy!“

“The *best* neighborhood Mexican restaurant in St. Louis. Amazing cuisine, fast and friendly service, great value and the best margaritas in Rock Hill! My husband and I have been going to El Indio since the doors opened nearly 15 years ago and watched it grow into the successful restaurant it is today. It’s no wonder why it is such a gem in Rock Hill! Make El Indio your next night out. Order a pitcher of margaritas on the rocks, share among friends & family and discover what the rest of us already know and love!“

“Very friendly service. I live their guacamole and sopes.“

The service is outstanding and the bartender we had, Wolfgang, was very personable, outgoing and got to know our names!! Who does that!?!? We got a table for eight within 15 minutes of having a drink at the bar! We will be back.“
