50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Creve Coeur

“Great food! My parents and I tried for the first time today after a recommendation from other family. We tried several items including the torta Milanesa and the mole chicken. Highly recommend this authentic option!“

“I had three bad experiences at global quesadilla on 141 and Clayton The first time I went in there they told me they don't accept cash. the second time I went in I got a quesadilla, some chips, and queso. the queso tasted awful. it tasted like warmed up canned cheese or something. I'd buy at the gas station but not the hot stuff in the dispenser that tasted better. And to be honest, there's nothing special about the quesadillas for the ingredients that go into it, the amount of time it takes to make and what they're charging for it. I find it ridiculous. if it's not going to taste good it should be cheap. at that point I'd rather make them at home. my third bad experience is a as a doordasher. after confirming the name of my customer, I proceeded to include my business card. global quesadilla doesn't own that food. that food was paid for by my customer. they have no right to tell me I can't put a business card with the food. the employee proceeds to yell at me multiple times to hand the food back to which I responded no twice and started walking out of the store. he proceeded to follow me out of the store continuing to yell at me and I had to tell him multiple times to back up/go inside / leave me alone. and if he touched me there's going to be a problem I shouldn't be in fear for my physical safety going into any establishment. they were also rude and unprofessional the first day I went in trying to pay with cash. how they've handled themselves multiple times is completely unacceptable. there's a reason why I only ate the food once. if I want Mexican food I'll make it myself or go to Taco Bell or a sit-down Mexican restaurant.“

“We recently tried The Mexican Barrel House, and it absolutely exceeded expectations! I love that they put a creative twist on traditional Mexican dishes — everything felt fresh, unique, and thoughtfully prepared while still keeping those classic flavors we all crave. The food was delicious from start to finish. You can tell they use quality ingredients, and every dish was beautifully presented. And the margaritas? So good! Perfectly balanced, refreshing, and definitely worth ordering (maybe even a second 😉). The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated — warm, inviting, and full of character. It creates such a fun and comfortable atmosphere that makes you want to sit, relax, and enjoy the experience. The service was just as impressive — friendly, attentive, and welcoming without being overbearing. It made the whole experience even better. If you’re looking for Mexican food with a fun, modern twist, gorgeous ambiance, and amazing margaritas, The Mexican Barrel House is a must-try. We’ll definitely be back! 🌮🍹“

“Called the store on New Year’s Eve to make sure they were open. We ordered from 2 previous restaurants (not qdoba) using door dash, only to have both ordered cancelled. When the Qdoba worker answered the phone, she was very polite, and helpful. This instantly made us say “she was so nice, we definitely need to grab food from here.” Fast forward 5 minutes later and we arrive to the store. We were instantly greeted upon entering by a friendly worker named Lachelle. She was very nice, listened to each of our orders without issues, and made our orders perfectly! This honestly was the best service I’ve had at a takeout restaurant since the pandemic. It’s amazing what someone with a good attitude can do, especially with her having to work New Year’s Eve, and we walk into the restaurant 1 hour before closing. Once we arrived at home, the food tasted great, chips were warm and not stale, which seems to be the normal when getting chips from a similar restaurant. I am 100% satisfied with my food and the service I received at the store! Lachelle is definitely a great asset to this store!“

“Amazing! Must try!“

“Kaelen Felix recommended this lovely restaurant. We enjoyed meeting the owner and her staff that helped us pick the best taco. She was right. We actually tried five different ones. They were all delicious. I particularly liked how they doubled up the delicious corn tortillas. The exciting spice and the crisp onions or salad toppings made a savory meal. we will be returning! We would recommend this to anyone who enjoys authentic food“

“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! :)“

“Best Mexican restaurant in St. Louis. If you have never been, you have know idea what your missing. What ever you order, you can not go wrong. This place should put Florissant Mo. on the map. Keep up with the great food and service. I will always keep coming back with food like this.“

“First time at Taco Buddha! Great food! Great staff! Staff went up above and beyond to help with my order, today! Thank you for such Great customer service at the Kirkwood location 💕“

“I have gotten food here numerous times dining in, taking out, or getting it delivered many different times of the day on many occasions and it is astonishingly consistent and good no matter what. I always get either the queso birria or the Texas rice bowl. Despite the phenomenal amount of meat they put in the rice bowl, the rice is honestly the best part, especially mixed with the green and red salsa’s. Best rice I have had in my life.

A recent discovery I made was the cheesecake chimichanga, which is only like 7 bucks and bigger than I thought it’d be. Its cold in the inside and hot and crispy on the outside. Honestly, you could make an entire restaurant serving only those cheesecake chimichangas. It is by far the best fast food desserts, and one of the best restaurant desserts I have ever had. Heaven has Abelardos cheesecake chimichangas.

Lastly, on an unrelated side note, a lot of the people here leaving one star reviews need to learn how stars work. One star is when there is no redeemable qualities in an establishment. Genuine filth. If you say “Food was good, but service sucks” and leave a 1 star review, you’re either confused or a moron. Thats like 2 stars at worst.

Tldr:
There is a very good reason the vast majority of reviews of this place are 5 stars. Stop going to El Maguey, just go here.“

“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 ❣️✨“

“Yummy food and great service!“

“Fantastic food and service. I love their margaritas, chips and salsa are also yummy. My favorite spot here in STL after moving here from Californa.“

“You won’t find better Mexican food anywhere in St Charles County! Go let Mauro and his team show you how it’s done! We go every week to get our fix. ❤️🙌“

“Yummy lunch. The fluffy tacos on special were sooooo good. My husbands California burrito took us back to San Diego and was legit!! We loooooooove the guacamole. Mango Agua Fresca was tasty too. We love this place!“

“Hands-down one of my favorite spots in town! The food is always incredible — specifically the carnitas! Everything i have tried was incredible, AND they even serve micheladaS.

I came by for Cinco de Mayo and they had live music. You can really tell they put care into creating a great atmosphere.

The service is just as amazing as the food. The staff is always so kind and welcoming. One time I accidentally left my leftovers behind (which are sacred to me), and one of the staff literally chased me out to the parking lot to return them.

Great food, great music, amazing people — 5 stars all the way!!!!!“

“Delicious food,great portions, 9/10 recommended“

“Great food. Great sauces as well. Authentic. Try them out!!“

“I can't say enough about this restaurant. It's the BEST! We go there a lot. We ate there 12/27/25. You get so much food with the Fajita dish that I always have to take half of it home. My husband mostly gets meals with shrimp and he too loves them. In getting to know them over the years is like gaining another family member. Maria even helped me get a great doctor for my husband. Service is always spot on. They always bring me me a frosted mug with my beer, without asking! Everyone is very friendly. If you like Mexican food you REALLY need to go there. Thank you everyone at DURANGO!!“

“Great food. Great service. Friendly people!!! Definitely a place I would go for my taco cravings!!!“

“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.“

“one of the best taco spots in st.louis hands down“

“Fantastic food, service, decor, and grewt waitress. Would highly recommend and eat here again.“

“This place is amazing, truly 10/10. I’m actually kicking myself for not trying it sooner. The staff was super super friendly and the food actually exceeded my expectations, which is very very rare as I’m a HUGE stickler when it comes to Mexican food lol. Oh and the drinks, my wife got the house marg and I got a coconut mango marg, and they were both AMAZING. What really surprised me was how the house marg managed to be so strong and savory, usually house margs are just sugar bombs but theirs tastes like a handcrafted cocktail, the house marg! I couldn’t recommend this place enough, it actually puts el nopal across the street to SHAME which is not an easy feat at all. Better service, better food, and the prices weren’t nearly as high as I would’ve thought. I couldn’t ask for a better restaurant forreal. I can’t remember our severs name but he was actually the best server Ive had in while, rarely does a young couple get such amazing treatment like I got today. Kudos Carretas, y’all are the best!!!!“

“we went out to lunch at San Jose last week. The lunch entrées were amazing! Decided to go there for dinner tonight as well. Extremely pleased! Outstanding margaritas delectable food.(tacos pastor and carne asada) hot sauce was a nice touch. Great atmosphere and the servers are so kind very kind. It makes all the difference in the world. Muchas Gracias.. Nos Vemos Pronto“

“Mi Lupita's is our favorite authentic Mexican restaurant. We love the fresh squeezed Margaritas, Chicken Mole Poblano, El Pastor Tacos of pork and pineapple. Great service, atmosphere and everyone is o friendly. Best of luck on your new location.“

“The Chimi's ribeye with cheese sauce added is amazing, highly recommed. Mariano is my favorite server!“

“Fast and Friendly Great Service“

“Redey and Tyler were extremely helpful in getting my 4 taco 🌮 order together. I forgot to take an initial photo but my fave is a very slight edge to the surf and turf taco! A lot of meat and shrimp with the spot sauce. Delicious. The berria is right there as the tortilla is grilled. Excellent shred with the cilantro. The Asada steak is very tasty too but just couldn't jump the berria or surf and turf. Sorry the picture is almost post inhalation! With the amount of meat, they're very filling and fresh. Loved em and the service, too. No photo option for some reason. 🤔“

“First time at Taco Buddha! Great food! Great staff! Staff went up above and beyond to help with my order, today! Thank you for such Great customer service at the Kirkwood location 💕“

“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.“

“Quesoburrias Tacos are 🔥🔥🔥🔥“

“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.“

“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!“

“My two sisters and I had dinner here last night! What a wonderful experience from the owner/bar tender to our incredible waiter Carlos! The top shelf margaritas and the food were incredible! Thanks for a great experience!“

“Great staff, outdoor dining, good prices and excellent food.“

“Our vintage Thunderbird Club had a luncheon event at El Agave on Sunday February 15th, 2026. The food was excellent, the service was exceptional and the accommodations for our group of 16 worked out great. All of our members extremely pleased with everything. To the staff and management, we thank you for your hospitality and service.“

“Hands down the best Mexican food in stl!“

“Tequilas is the perfect spot for Taco Tuesday! The tacos are delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. Plus, their margaritas are some of the best I’ve had—perfectly balanced and refreshing. The owners are super friendly, making the experience even better. If you’re craving great tacos and margaritas, Tequilas is the place to be!“
