I got the chicken fajita nachos and thought it was pretty good. The chips were tasty, and I enjoyed the fresh peppers. I wasn't crazy about the chicken it self but it wasn't bad. Just not awesome.
The staff was so kind and sweet. I look forward to trying more of their menu in the future.

I’ve been to more than 40 Mexican restaurants in St. Louis and out of state, and La Manganita restaurant is by far one of the top five best authentic Mexican restaurants. The service was phenomenal. The food was absolutely delicious and full of flavor, down to their hot sauces. Even their homemade hot sauces were delicious, along with their salsa and chips. The atmosphere is great, and our waiter provided excellent hospitality. I will definitely be going back here several times throughout the year. Oh, I had the Arroz Pollo with shrimp. I ate it so fast, I forgot to take a picture.

This restaurant is cool. All the area that this restaurant is in it's cool. There are a bunch of Mexican places over here in this neighborhood. This is fun

Very disappointed with the food. The cheese sauce was very watery and salty. I had the fajita nachos; they were soggy and gave me heartburn. My daughter had the Camarones ala diabla. Her food was all combined together, the rice and beans should have been separated. It was a total mess.

The service is great! The food is wonderful. We split the vegetarian fajitas. More than enough for 2 of us. I'm looking forward to going back to try other vegetarian items on the menu.

The food is good, don’t get me wrong it can be better though. Overall what really made the dining experience memorable is the service, they staff are so friendly.

I give it 2 because the staff were sweet and had great customer service. The food was a let down though. As someone that’s lived in Dallas and always had access to amazing authentic tacos, I was looking forward to some authentic tacos on the beloved Cherokee but it just wasn’t that good. The tortilla was delicious and fresh. The sauces were not that great. The chicken was well cooked but not well seasoned — tasted more like the chicken made by the Chinese for fried rice. Good but not for the dish I wanted. The margaritas were a great size for the price but were MAD sweet. A hangover waiting to happen. My sister and her friend literally left a full glass after no more than 5 sips. It did taste like lots of sugar. And the water bottles served were $2, heads up. I expected my eyes to roll from deliciousness especially because there were other Mexicans eating but it was a sad let down. I got basic chick tacos, and had to ask for extra onions and cilantro to take it up more

We had the most delicious dining experience here yesterday. All five of us vote this restaurant the best Mexican food in the St. Louis area. Among the five of us, we had all the meats - chicken, steak, carnitas, and shrimp. They were high quality, fresh tasting, and cooked to perfection. The vegetables in our meals were also abundant and fresh. We also loved the three different salsas for dipping our chips. Most importantly, the service was also perfect: friendly, warm, and professional. That Mexican food you’re eating at what you think is your favorite restaurant close to home will never taste as good again after your trip here. This is now all of our new favorite Mexican food in STL! p.s. Get a margarita; they’re a treat as well!!

The food and service was wonderful. I gave the food 4 stars because my mixed fajita the steak had a few chewy bites that were inedible at times. The flavors and portions were great. Definitely has that authentic taste, service, and atmosphere. Would go again.

Pretty small place. Food was decent. Felt rushed to leave and a little awkward. Plus no air conditioning.
