Mexican Restaurants near High Ridge

“Great food and margaritas“

“I had stopped in my way how a few nights ago and was given the wrong order all together. The next day Carmen went above and beyond to make it right and I had a separate order from the mix up and she made my burritos herself to make sure they were right and had my added sour cream I'm not sure what y'all are paying her but I promise it's not enough somebody needs to give that girl a raise!!! The other little girl in the window was also very sweet and very helpful but I don't remember her name. Definitely pick high ridge taco bell over Byrnesmill everyday of the week.“

“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! :)“

“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.“

“We aren't from the area but were in town for a softball game near by. We were very pleased with all of our dinners. The steak, chicken and tilapia special were all delicious. The chips were great and so was the salsa. Margaritas were on point too! 😋“

“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!“

“5 stars for food, service and atmosphere. Place is tiny, seating 30-35 is my guess. If there's better MX in the area please tell me!“

“The food and service were absolutely awesome. Very distinct flavors. We pride ourselves on finding great Mexican food in our travels around the US and Canada. This us one stop we will definitely come back for. Seriously don't miss this if you are in the area.“

“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!!!!“

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

“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.“

“Great staff. delicious 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.“

“Moving reviews over from Yelp. Originally written in 2017:

Cheese baby, cheese!

I came here willingly for one reason, and only one reason: I saw someone's picture of a dish called Alhombre and had to try it. Think of it like this...they throw a handful of pieces of all of their meats (plus bacon) on a platter and then smother it is cheese sauce. Yep, kinda like a garbage pizza but made of Americanized Mexican food. The list included chicken, steak, fish, bacon and somehow a couple of shrimps even though they weren't listed on the menu as being part of the dish. There were some vegetables in there too but the dish could have used a bit more. Everything was cooked properly and very flavorful even without that luscious blanket of cheese laid over the top. Tortillas on the side along with the ubiquitous rice & beans.

We started with chips and salsa but the main event was the most memorable...until dessert arrived. The thing I love about flan is the drizzle of caramel sauce that usually accompanies the custard on the plate. There's never enough to allow a little bit with each bite. Not usually. Not ever - until this plate of flan arrives and it was absolutely swimming in caramel sauce (see picture). I was stuffed to the gills but actually contemplated ordering another one just to see if it would look the same. I held off but will certainly return if for no other reason than to have another flan.“

“Not sure what was going on the afternoon of Jan 4, but waitress was very grumpy. Been coming here for years and never experienced this before. Good food and drinks were wonderful though! Waitress just was not having a good day.“

“My first neighbor and my last. my favorite cheat day! From the Quesabirria to the double beans!! They are passionate. love to cook. They really care about your experience and have such a family atmosphere. I’m going to miss their friendship and food.. i know my husband will miss your culinary skills..Tacos are not just for tuesdays when you eat with El Nopal 🥰“

“las salsas y flautas buenos guisos“

“We had a birthday party here and it was my first time. The food and the margheritas were superb! The staff was friendly, patient and Wonderful. They even let us bring our own cake and provided plates and forks!!“

“Great fresh innovative food, wonderful friendly service. 95 out of 100. 5 points off because my food should have been hotter.“

“What a great place! Love taking my family & friends there“

“Chris is our regular waiter and he is the best. Knows what we wants and always delivers. The food is always good and we are there every week.“

“Amazing margs and appetizers!! Their sweet corn cake IS THE BEST!!!“

“Excellent! Food was tasty. Would definitely recommend.“

“Finally a California burrito that stacks up with the ones I used to get in San Diego. This truck is legit.“

“Finally got to try this place after a string of bad luck regarding sporadic availability. As of April 2024, they sell burritos, walking tacos, nachos, and taco bowls. All are about $20 - much too steep for my liking, and at that price, I would skip if I were not on the dining plan.That being said, I was really impressed with what I got for my meal credit. Mexican is an EXTREMELY welcome change of pace from the usual theme park fare. I got a burrito, and was given a choice of rice, black/pinto beans, chicken/beef, and an assortment of toppings -- cheese/lettuce/pico/jalapenos/sour cream. It, as with all of the entrees here, comes with a side of chips, which were totally decent. This burrito was NOT small. Flavor and quality-wise, of course it wasn't Chipotle caliber, but it was still very tasty and filling. Service was really pleasant and quick. Macho Nacho has quickly ascended to one of my favorite dining options at Six Flags St. Louis. If you are planning on getting something to eat at the park, this is a great spot. Looking forward to trying the other offerings at this location this summer.“

“This Qdoba is a good one. You will enjoy it.

I honestly gave up on Qdoba the past few years because the food became sloppy and the employees at every location made you feel like you’re bothering them for simply existing and walking into the place.

THIS specific qdoba is full of smiling people who do a good job and don’t make you feel like you’re inconveniencing them. It’s a breath of fresh air and I’ve come back to this location three times in the past three weeks because they’ve made such a good impression after bad experiences elsewhere, so I’m leaving this review. Like ten people in line before me, because everyone wants to come to this location, and I was in and out in 10 minutes. Thanks for making food great again!!!“

“After a very frustrating interaction with Grub Hub, this amazing restaurant brought my missing food to our door. She could have told me it was too bad, or they couldn’t fix it. But instead she insisted on bringing it to us and was so incredibly kind. It was hot and freshly made, and so delicious! We love 3 Margaritas and after tonight, we love it even more. Highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Food was very good. Staff was very helpful especially the manager (Kim). I like the freshness of the food.“

“Everything was delicious, and arrived quickly and hot !! Salsa and chips are really good 👍 server was really helpful and easy to work with“
