Not sure how there are less than 5 star reviews. They had really good plates to share so you can try everything, amazing cocktails, and everyone was extremely friendly and welcoming. All of the tables were full but we were able to get a spot at the bar. I would recommend a reservation.

Hands down, the finest Mexican cuisine in STL, and arguably the best food I've experience in STL in quite some time.Taco Mondays and Tuesdays are a must-try; indulge in one of everything without hesitation—it's all remarkably flavorsome. Prepare to be thoroughly impressed; I've already made it a weekly ritual to savor their delectable tacos.As someone discerning about taco spots in STL, this gem exceeded my expectations with its exceptional quality.

Tapas style authentic Mexican food. A little pricey and the margaritas are small (minimum price $14 and they're like 5 oz). Everything was tasty but the menu is very limited.

This is the best restaurant we have visited in the St Louis area. Tonight was our first visit to Malinche and we were absolutely blown away by the quality of the food and service. Emiliano took care of us at the bar and did an amazing job of making sure our visit was exceptional. He elevated the experience to feel like dining versus just grabbing dinner. Do not expect your average Mexican restaurant portions, but these small plates are of such high quality you won't miss a thing. This intimate evening of delicious food, cocktails, and ambiance is one we won't forget.

Definitely make reservations! Very nice intimate space. We brought our toddler but she was the only little one in the whole place. Which was fine, they have a kids menu and sippy cup lid. We enjoyed the tapas style menu. Would visit again! Staff was very informative and made many recommendations.

This is nothing like the average Mexican restaurants found in great numbers throughout the Metro. This is fine dining. Small plates of authentic, gourmet Mexican fare. Craft cocktails. Friendly, fast service. Mexican entertainment plays on the TV sets throughout the restaurant which are very entertaining. It's a fun place! And the food is excellent. VERY worth your time and money. It is a bit pricey, but well worth the experience. Highly recommended.
Sat at the bar both times.Service was top notch Food was like no other Mexican place in west county. Really unique and exquisite Of course, the price tag reflects that.Will be back.

Showed up when they only had tacos on the menu. Still, it was pretty good. Seating was limited and the place did fill up pretty quickly, which is always great to see. If we go on a more popular night, I'll definitely have to consider getting reservations. I look forward to trying their other non taco items next time.

The meal was very tasty and enjoyable. We started with the chips and each got one item. Without the chips we would have needed at least one more as the plates are small. Service was very good.
