“This lunch/dinner was very delicious! The employees allowed me to get a little extra queso without charging me extra as I have been in the past at this particular location. They had just made fresh fajita vegetables, and they were seasoned to perfection! This was definitely the best experience I have ever had at this Qdoba location. I've had many unpleasant experiences in the past at this location in which the employees were rude and charged me extra for things that shouldn't be extra. I have even made it known to friends and family I would rather drive to the other side of town to go to a different location to avoid the rude employees in favor of a location where the employees usually work very hard to make my order just right every time. This time I was very pleasantly surprised to find the employees on duty did an absolutely phenomenal job making my whole experience tasty and pleasant. Thank you for working hard to make me happy! You may even have restored my faith in visiting this store in the future, but only if you keep up the good work to surprise and delight!”

“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”

“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.”

“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!!”

They had really delicious non-alcoholic beverages, the food was delicious and savory. Staff was friendly and welcoming. Loved it! Rest is very authentic: they had products you may purchase that are usually used in Mexico. They had Mexican music on, moderate level.”

“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!”

“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.”

The only thing was that one of the plates was chopped We will come here again.”

“Food is excellent. The posole was so tasty. Get the green one! The salmon was a very good and generous portion with excellent mole. We heard them chopping the avocados to make our guacamole which was as fresh as the chopping indicated. Chicken enchiladas with green sauce was great and better than most established Mexican restaurants around town. Even the black beans were noteworthy. If you’re worried about them not having a liquor license right now, there is a liquor store upstairs where you can buy any number of Mexican beers, wines of all sorts and any can or bottle you might want and they welcome you to have it at your table. I highly recommend this little place.”

“The wide variety of tasty margaritas will definitely keep us coming back! The food was good, but nothing particularly memorable. The service was friendly and attentive, although we agree with other reviews that the restaurant is SO LOUD and seems chaotic at times. You could barely hear the person next to you, but also was 5pm on a Friday so we understand. If an upbeat environment is more your vibe, this is definitely the place for you! Overall, we highly recommend Oaxaca for more of a fun happy hour option.”

“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! 🌮🍹”

“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.”
