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“

“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 💕“

“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! :)“

“Yummy food and great service!“

“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 ❣️✨“

“Extensive menu of favorite plates and a la carte. Food is always fresh and tasty. Everything is prepared to order, so service can be a bit slow when they're busy. Owners are on-site to keep things moving. Servers are excellent; very friendly. Dining room is well-decorated, lighted, and welcoming.“

“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.“

“These are seriously the best tacos i’ve ever had. The service is great and the food was even better. The tacos come out nice and hot, and there’s a salsa bar that’s fresh. I have come here numerous times late at night and every single time, the food hits and the service is amazing per usually. Definitely recommend.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“10/10!!! This isn’t your typically chain Mexican place! My husband and I went here for the second time because we just fell in love with the food, especially the authentic recipes for their tamales! The food in particular reminded my husband of his grandma and mom who passed already which warmed my heart! Wonderful meal! We forgot to leave a review last time but this time we did and also brought home some tamales! Everything is so good here, hopefully next time we will call ahead to try some mole! Thank you for the outstanding service and the owner Maria, for our awesome lunch. We will be coming here again with our family!“

“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!!“

“The decorations of the restaurant were really nice and created a great atmosphere. The food was okay overall, but the prices were a little on the high side for what you get. Still a pleasant place to visit, especially if you appreciate the ambiance.“

“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.“

“Fast and Friendly Great Service“

“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.“

“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!“

“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 food is absolutely DELICIOUS! And the staff is amazing! Also the bloody Mary’s are to die for! I highly recommend this restaurant!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Food was absolutely delicious, flavorful, and perfect! I got the 3 Birria tacos with rice and I would eat it again. Their rice is the best I’ve had in a long time. The texture, flavor, and temperature of the birria meat was amazing. The guacamole and chips were fresh! Service and staff was awesome! Highly recommend!“

“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!“

“Our vintage Thunderbird Club had a luncheon event at El Agave on Sunday February 15th, 2026.

To the staff and management, we thank you for your hospitality and service.“
