Mexican Restaurants near Dardenne Prairie

“Fast, polite, and food is always great! Always enjoy how friendly everyone is at this location.“

“We enjoyed another fabulous authentic Mexican dinner last week! The hot sizzling Pollo Cancun with cheese melted over shrimp, and chicken was wonderful!! Normally, I enjoy the Taco Salad in a Fried shell, my favorite, but wanted to explore the shrimp 🍤 and Chicken served on a sizzling oven plate. The Shrimp and Chicken with mushrooms far surpassed my expectations. Best of all, I talked to Scott and meet Sergio with the El Tio Pepe family all there helping and smiling. Thank you, again. El Tio Pepe family!! Great to see you always! P.S. Try the Churros served with chocolate sauce and cajeta, Mexican caramel. Delicious!“

“Haven’t had a good Mexican place in a while. This was excellent and the food was so tasty and quick! And affordable prices! Loved our server, Oscar!“

“Their food has soooo much flavor!!!“

“All it took was one visit here for us to know this was our new absolute favorite spot to eat! While my husband and I highly recommend the street tacos, my mother-in-law got the tamales and said they were “the best tamales ever!” We adore the staff here as well. Juan “Paco” is our FAVORITE! He is so sweet and kind. He remembered us the second we walked through the door! You can tell they love what they do there. Of course, don’t forget to grab a dessert (or 2!) while you’re there! The flan is my favorite, my husband loves the pina colada tres leches and then my kids love the red velvet cake!“

“Always great food and service!!“

“Great food and good service. The murals on the walls and the decorations on the backs of the benches really add to the overall experience.“

“Best view around! Tasty food and good service“

“Dos Primos has always been a family favorite as well as a community favorite. Mario is the friendliest and most generous man. He also only employs the highest quality people to work with him. When I say every person who has ever waited on us at Dos has been kind, prompt, attentive, even observant of our needs, this would be an understatement. No matter how busy they are you will never feel like you are in the way or that you are forgotten. The food is amazing!! I’ve never had a bad meal here. Be careful with the margaritas…when you stand up they hit hard 😂💛“

“Delicious! Favorite place to stop by on our way in or out of St Louis. 10/10!“

“Highly highly recommend!!! Our waiter was great…he was a super friendly & very helpful!! Outstanding shrimp tacos & chicken tacos!! If we’d eaten all of the chips & salsa they brought out while we were waiting for our food, I don’t think we could have eaten everything!! Super generous basket of tortilla chips!“

“Been going here fore over 14 years, good service, clean and great food.“

“wonderful service and yummy food.“

“It was great! Chips and salsa included. Salsa comes in the pour bottles. They had a small queso for $5 and it was very good.

I got 3 street tacos, steak, pastor, and carniatas. Absolutely delicious!! I would recommend anyone who wants tacos to eat here!“

“We had a horrible experience tonight with a huge little kids birthday party. The kids were out of control , running around, loud and hitting the things from the ceiling. We could not wait to get out of there.“

“Great food, service and they treat us like family!“

“Just moved to the area and found this place by accident! We are life long Poplar Bluff Mo people and to see this local restaurant up here was a great treat for our little family! Great food and great atmosphere!“

Kid-friendliness: The staff is very hospitable!! Super cool and fun!!“

“Update 1/24/2026:
Swung by again, and they nailed it again! I wish I could leave 6 stars. The value for money here is great, the food tastes amazing..... Not a dry chip on my plate, all toppings, perfect! This steak meal with a coffee cost $21 after taxes

I'm always shocked how fast the food comes out and still tastes so great. Second picture with ONLY green sauce, and no juice, is from today. As you can see, they're consistently good!

Original review 10/2025:
This was my first time here. The food was great. I got the chilaquiles divorciados. It was great! Although if I got it again I would just get all Verde sauce, it is so good, Rojo sauce can't really compare in my opinion.

So it's basically steak and eggs with a side of meatless but very saucy and flavorful nachos with refried beans for dipping any chips they may have missed (mine were pretty well covered though). It's an excuse to eat Mexican food for breakfast and I'm there for it!

The juices are fresh squeezed.... I think? Mine had a little pulp in it, I got the sunrise juice or whatever. It had beet, carrot, and orange juice in it. Pretty good and very healthy.

The service is wildly fast, I loved it. When I had finished my plate I asked for a roll (they had tried to give me one earlier but I didn't take it). Only to find out that the bread they hand out is sweet. I really wanted something to mop up the sauce and egg yolk. Without me asking for it, the waitress brought me a thick slice of multigrain toast for the mop up job lol. It was divine! Such good service and good food. Highly recommended!“

“The only reason I did not give it a full 5 stars was due to the male cashier at this location. I had quite a few teenage boys that were indecisive but respectful. I was informing the cashier male what all each child as well as myself had ordered. Instead of him listening he decided to input what he wanted into the system and ended up over charging me for something. In addition, I was inquiring about a military discount, he had no interest in helping or doing what he could do to honor a veteran.
On the other hand, a young lady name Diamond went ABOVE AND BEYOND the customer service expectations. She was the only one that greeted us upon entry. She made sure she got fresher ingredients to serve us, she managed to help and assist each of the teenagers even though they did not know what they wanted to order. In addition, once I came to her with me being over charged, she apologized on the male cashier behalf and corrected the situation and gave me the necessary items that I was charged for instead of what I was given. She also came by and asked if the food was good and if we needed anything further. She was truly amazing even under pressure and I really appreciate that. The young man that was in the register, he actually went to his car for 10 minutes and came back smelling like marijuana and did not wash his hands which was rather disrespectful, which I’m sure is why he could not focus on what I was telling him to charge me for.“

“The business is clean, friendly and the food is fresh! The last few times we have eat here the staff seems to go out of their way to make us feel welcomed!!“

“I love the fast and friendly service. They have a drive-through and they serve very quickly through that. Also, the location is very clean and kept in neat order. This is always my go to restaurant Because it is very fresh and the portion are extremely large. Good deal for the money. Highly recommend.“
