“I love this spot we go here for our teriyaki Quesadilla and love their many other Choices on food, Even have a children’s menu. They put their heart into what they make and treat you well. I would recommend here for a lunch date or an evening date or even to go if you like to eat at home!“
“Every time I've gone to this Qdoba location they have been extremely nice. It made me wonder if they were just doing basic manners really well and showing courtesy and customer service skills because on average those have become lower these days but I don't think so I think they're genuinely nice.“
“Food was amazing! First time having birria tacos amazing experience I loved it! The chicken street tacos amazing! Everything was seasoned so good the Diablo sauce was very spicy and good. The corn was my daughter’s favorite! Definitely coming back again.“
“We recently got a big order for a little shindig we were having. The people were nice, the process was smooth, and the food was an absolute hit. We have been here a number of times and will continue to but this was such a positive experience I had to leave a review :)“
“Can be a little loud when they are busy. Food is good and you get lots, won't leave hungry.Parking: Depending on how busy they are, sometimes parking is not great. Restaurant shares parking with a convenience type store/sandwich shop, and I believe a laundromat around the corner.“
“Small place. We try to time it so we're there before or after the lunchtime rush, 1130-1230. We have tried several items on the menu, and our favorites are the steak quesodillas and any of the tostados. I love their hot and mild sauces and appreciate that they keep the bottles refridgerated, not sitting on the tables all day.“
“This place is sooo good! Great tacos and food for on the go. The barbacoa taco with the advacado salsa is the main thing i always get, the next best one is the steak and fries and cheese burrito but sub in the barbacoa meat for the steak. Such a great food coma. Its also a mexican grocery store so alway good to grab some hot sause.“
“Great tacos and dessert! A very rich flavor, the meat is soft, they don't have a lot of salt, the dessert is not overwhelmingly sweet either. The flavors of each dish contain a lot of balance between each other. ❤️ The tacos have a very well combined taste with lots of balance within the ingredients. Not too salty and not too sweet for the dessert. Very nice service.. they brought the food to our car since it was pickup..❤️“
“First time visiting El Potro, had the enchiladas with mole and 3 tacos dinner Al pastor and carne asada. Everything from the service to the food was great. The owner and staff are super nice!! Will definitely go back , next time will try the molcajete.“
“I went to grab a pick up order on Wednesday March 27, I had had a bad day and the bartender could not have been nicer!!! Her kindness meant more to me than she will ever know. Also the food was phenomenal and the margaritas were excellent will be back for sure!!“
“Strip Mall Location. Upscale Mexican Food.This place is incredible. The food was delicious, the service was fantastic, and the atmosphere was solid.We had guacamole, lots of different tacos (brisket, Al, Pastore, gringo, supreme, pork belly, etc) and cheese quesadilla.The guacamole was excellent… Nice ratio of lime, avocados, tomatoes, onion. Chips were really tasty and fresh. The salsa was really tasty that might have had kind of a barbecue flavor to it. Not standard tomato flavor.All the tacos were delicious. The meat was really flavorful, and it was combined with different spices or salsas or sauces.This place really impressed us with the quality of the food as well as the affordability of prices. It’s one to make a regular stop. And our server, plus the front staff were welcoming, friendly, attentive, and did so many things to make it a warm and inviting place to be.“
“Amazing. The management is awesome. 3 different managers stopped by our table to check on us during our last visit. The server was funny and welcoming. The establishment itself is huge and really authentic feeling. And the food is always awesome. As a former bar/restaurant manager I am usually pretty critical of restaurants I dine at. This place is a 10/10“
“Ordered a carne asada burrito, chicken burrito, chips and queso, and two margaritas (strawberry and regular). Everything was fantastic. Burritos are huge, queso and chips just how I like them and margaritas were very tasty. There tomatillo salsa had just the right balance of flavor and heat. The team was very friendly and efficient. I’m definitely going back . . . often!“
“One of the better Mexican restaurants I've been to in St. Louis. My daughter has this love for birria tacos so we stopped here for lunch after her volleyball tournament. We both got the Birria Tacos, along with a few a la cart Street Tacos and it was delicious. Though I don't remember the taco I had with pineapple it was one of my favorite street tacos. If you are looking for a solid place for Mexican food then make sure you stop here.“
“My wife and I visited this restaurant for a last minute dinner. We had a really good first time experience. The food was delicious and the service was top tier! We've always wanted to visit and we are happy we did! We will be back often!“
“As good as ever. The new remodel is fantastic and makes the Atmosphere even better. The Tequila Fish was a wonderful surprise. The jalapeno bean dip is a must.Parking: You can no longer cut through the back to get to St Ferdinand Park. It's still a great place for Parking.Kid-friendliness: Yeah, they have Hi Chairs and plenty of napkins“
“I had a great time with my son at Chevy's ! Me and my son came for a dinner together and the service was lovely! The manager Curtis even said grace with us. Our server Luz was very sweet and and polite. Curtis kept checking on us to make sure our night was going well. Would come “
“Amazing service, even better food.I’ve been to countless taquerias in St Louis. The Al Pastor tacos are some the best, if not the best, tacos I’ve had in the St Louis area. Every time I could here I am blown away.A must stop for anyone who appreciates a good taco“
“What can I say? Amazing service. Absolutely feels like a family establsihment that really cares. The food was very good. My only disappointment was sides were either rice or beans. So many restaurants I go to come with both. I just added it as a side, so no biggie. Just an observation. I will go again and again.“
“My husband and I went here for lunch during the week and were very impressed with the food. Well priced and delicious. He ordered carne asada tacos and I had the pollo chipotle with a side of beans. Everything was seasoned well and fresh tasting. The price was also great for what we got. We'll definitely be coming back.“
“If you’re looking for AUTHENTIC Mexican food, look no further! This place is AMAZING, I’m a Midwest transplant from California. No one does Tacos like Durangos in STL. Then go next door to the markéta, and its like being home! If you’re like me, when you miss home go here and order yourself 4 carne asada tacos (the right way) with a Corona and watch the homesickness float away..“
“Come often and never disappointed. Yesterday had Margarita', chicken wings & cheese dish. Everything was Amazing. The owner always speaks and the staff makes sure everything is to your liking. 1st class & best Mexican is St. Louis.“
“Impressive! Wile many of the local Mexican restaurants are pretty much the same, this one really stands out. Great presentation, tasty salsa and I was delighted that they offer the spoon cornbread! That stuff is super hard to find. This is my new go-to. Thanks!“
“Must visit the place. 5 stars for food and 5 stars for a great service. I'm a out of towner and this was my 1st time here. My server treating me as if I was one of their veteran to this place. The asada tacos were so good, I asked 2 more to take it to go.Price is affordable and food is wonderful. Love my server, wish I remember her name, and place was clean. Clean place, greate food, kind server, it's rare to find a place that has all three. I travel a lot from states to states. This is a must visit place.“
“My husband has been eyeing this place for a bit and today we finally decided to give it a shot. The staff was very friendly and helpful! My husband ordered the steak torta and horchata. I ordered the chicken quesadilla with a tamarin drink. This was literally the best chicken quesadilla I've ever had, super filling. It was so good I forgot to take a picture. We grabbed an order of the churros after seeing a raving review about them. As well as four popsicles to go (Oreo, coffee tequila, strawberry cream, and watermelon). I highly recommend this place, we will definitely be back.“
“Not a bad little place. Food was delicious and quick, only reason I gave it 4 was the service and seating. Was asked to speak with someone, they passed me into a other and then we had three different servers between drinks, food order and water top offs. Friendly non the less, but not as simple as it could be.“
“This place is sooo good!!! The flavor is on point every time and never misses. I have been here months apart and my food was well put together every time, which is rare in my opinion for restaurants. A lot of taco places are bland and tasteless and overly Americanized. This place is well versed in toppings, homemade salsa, and flavor. The owner is very sweet and personable. You have to try the fresh homemade juices.“
“We were very impressed with this restaurant. The food was very good, and they have the best Mexican food menu that we have found since moving to the St. Louis area a year ago. All the standards are on the menu, plus some very nice real Mexican options. The place is not fancy, but it is laid out well, except there is no real waiting area when it is busy. It was very busy both times we went. Service was great with a friendly staff. This is our new favorite Mexican restaurant. We have had Mexican all over the U.S. and have lived in New Mexico and Texas and have traveled all over Mexico. So we have a broad base for comparison. I would rate the food higher, but I have not tried enough of the menu yet.“
“Always good.. Nice servers.Update. They ave changed since the pandemic.The food doesn' taste the same and the prices, like everywhere else have escalated.Service is still good, except when I hand you my card, hand it back to me.When you put my card on the counter versus handing it back to me is disrespectful.“
“Hidden gem! Despite being hidden in a rather boring strip mall Cowbron truly stands out as a great Mexican restaurant. It's a relatively new spot, and as I mentioned it's pretty unknown, so don't expect to wait long for a table. I personally have eaten here about 5-6 times and have yet to wait for a table on a Thursday or Friday night. Don't be fooled, they are amazing but quite off the map in terms of nearby restaurants, which is how I account for their low wait times. The food is great! The fajitas are large portions, enough for two to split after a couple baskets of chips and queso, and they have THE BEST CARNITAS I have ever had in my entire life. As a former chef I can definitely speak to this as carnitas are a dish that take time and thoughtfulness to be done great, both of which are evident once you've tried the tender meat on offer here. As a regular to Mariachis II and La Catrina I can tell you that this place has earned a spot in my top 3 favorite Mexican joints in the city. Go to Cowbron!“
“I’ve been to the Crestwood location many times and was excited to see one pop up in Ellisville! The chips come to the table hot, the salsa is excellent. I had the pollo ranchero and it was a generous serving! I got the corn tortillas per the server’s recommendation and they were very tasty. I can’t wait to come back again.“
“We had lunch there again yesterday, and it was amazing! The food and service are consistently excellent. Everything we had … fajitas, tacos, enchilada, beans, chips and salsa) were delicious. The gentleman that waited on us was very pleasant and attentive. The place is super clean and cute. All that we ate for only $25. The chips and salsa are the best in STL.Parking: Plenty of parking, including disabled parking, immediately in front of the restaurant.“
“Food was very delicious and flavorful. I really enjoy authentic Mexican food, and hit the nail on this one. The corn they give you on the side was delicious and sweet and very moist. The drinks were deli's as well. The service was amazing. Our server was very knowledgeable of the menu and gave great recommendations. The inside was very clean,spacious and dim lit. Can't wait to go again and try more food.“
“We was looking for a new ice cream place and stumbled upon this cute little place. Staff was friendly. We didn't end up getting ice cream ?. We got tacos and cheese fries and fruit dish covered in sweet cream bionco. We'll definitely be back. It was a tasty lil meal and treat.“
“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!“
“BEST pupusas I’ve had in over a decade!! From the salsa to the curtido, this is our new go to restaurant!! Las mejor pupusas que he probado en mas de una decada!! Desde la salsa al curtido, todo estuvo delicioso!! Este es nuestro nuevo restaurante favorito!“
“The food was really good, but somewhat salty. Also, what we consider mexican street corn is called "Elote Mexicano." It's not the same... They useTajin chili powder, which has a slight lime taste and higher salt content. Remember, Cotijan cheese has a salty finish. I didn't taste any smoked paprika. And the type of mayonnaise used really does matter. IJS. If you're looking for what I was looking for, "Mexican STREET CORN" look elsewhere. However, the atmosphere is laid-back with a nice, cozy feel. Kid friendly atmosphere. Drinks are OK. BEWARE: This place is NOT for anyone with high blood pressure. I'm sure a ton of places would match this description. ?“
“The service is excellent, friendly, and fast. Even for a party of 6, we got our food in 20 min. Flavors are good. I enjoyed mine, but have had better. Would rate food an A-. Salsa a little too spicy for my wife. Would've liked a milder option.Dietary restrictions: A great keto (low-carb) or diabetic option is the molcajete (stew of several meats). Eat without tortillas, and you'll still have enough to take home.“
“Small hidden gem that serves amazing authentic Mexican food. We walked in before closing and still got seated with amazing service. The food was delicious and fresh. The menu is on the smaller side but the food is tasty. I highly recommend getting the horchata to drink since they do make it fresh from scratch. The ambiance of the restaurant made you feel right at home with traditional Mexican decor. The staff was quick and attentive and made sure we had everything we needed.“
“Great place! Our server, Mario, was awesome. Came and took our drink order immediately and paid close attention to our drinks. Food came out, and it was smaller than expected, I got the Carretta wrap with steak. It was $11 and really good if you aren't too hungry. Mario definitely ate the star because he was SUPER Mario. (The toothpick machine is really cool, too)“
“Best signature margarita ever!! Food is also tasty ?Dietary restrictions: I have a gluten allergy. I always order chicken nachos, which are delicious, and I never get sick.Parking: I can be difficult to find parking but there's a lot of street parking available.“
“We had a party of 18 people and what a pleasant surprise! Our waiter, Bailey, was a true professional. He was able to articulate the makeup of the menue when asked questions and handled the order taking for the large group, expertly. For the most part, everyone received their meal at the same time. Kudos to the kitchen staff! Bailey was able to provide individual bills without flaw.Thanks for the nice experience, we'll be back.“
“I have had almost everything on the menu so far I have not found anything that has not been prepared cooked taste great meets my expectations for a restaurant and one day I will eat everything on the menu at least once highly recommend anybody that likes Mexican food to try this place highly “

“I know this place is family owned and they treat you as such! Great food and Fantastic Margaritas!Kid-friendliness: The design of the seating gives a private feel and keeps the sound minimal amongst visitors.Wheelchair accessibility: Handicapped parking is available and a very short walk to the door.“
“The food was delicious. The service was slack.. very slack. After food was delivered to table, the waiter did not come back to check. I had to ask another employee for to-go containers. I was asking questions about the food and he acted like I was annoying him. But I would recommend for the food.“
“The food here tastes authentic to me (a very white lady, who at least has been to Mexico quite a few times!). It's honestly delicious, I have never had anything not good here. Staff is friendly. Margaritas do not disappoint. The chips and salsa are on point. Particularly love the fajitas, but burritos, enchiladas, nachos, taquitos are all really yummy! It's kind of a whole in the wall vibe, but it's definitely a clean, and enjoyable, and fun atmosphere.“
“This is a great spot for a relaxing, dinner, date, or to take the family. The food is delicious. The portion size generous. And the service is efficient, fast and friendly.I highly recommend.Parking: New parking lot.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes.“
“Vegetarian options: They have some vegetarian options.Parking: Plenty of parking.Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly.Wheelchair accessibility: Inside of the restaurant and the patio is accessible. However, I am not sure about their restroom.“
“Visited twice, dishes we've had so far: The deep fried red snapper, burrito, chicken empanadas, mole (very good!), tacos, and guacamole. In general, the dishes are tasty. We really enjoyed the red snapper and mole, unique from the typical "mexican" fare in St. Louis (mushy stuff covered in slimy cheese). The mole sauce and tacos are flavorful, the rest of the dishes are well presented, generous portions, and fresh ingredients, maybe a bit on the bland side. The red and green salsas that come with the chips are fresh--the first time we had them, they had more spicy kick and stronger flavor, the second visit they were dialed down--each batch must come out a little different. They make their own margarita sour--it's delicious!! Has a hint of ginger, comes in 2 jar sizes, large and larger! The space is kinda like a diner/neighborhood bar & grille--it's spacious and clean. Highly recommended! I hope they expand their traditional dishes and offer more vegetarian options. Also, some extra hot choices for us spice addicts.“
