“Every Mexican restaurant I go to, I always try the Chimichangas first. I did a pick up order. The Chimichangas had no cheese on top. I asked where was the cheese sauce, they pointed that it was located at the bottom. It was good but not the best I’ve had. Disappointed especially since it’s called CHIMICHANGAS 😂“

“I have been there many times, and I have always received great service from all the waitresses. Carolina and Luisa will make you feel welcome and brighten your day. I've been through most of their menu and even asked them to pick a meal they thought was the best for me, and I was happily surprised at how wonderful it was. When they first opened, I had a going-away party for a friend with 12 people, and they could not have been more accommodating. Sidenote: if you've not had the choriqueso dip, you are in for a treat.“

“Authentic tacos made fresh.“

“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!“

“very good food and staff“

“Love the food! Love the story behind how it came to be! Delicious drink options …and be sure to bookend your meal with chips & homemade salsa and then churros!“

“Only complaint is that they don't give you extra chips with the Fiesta Dip, just the ones they brought to the table with salsa when seated.“

“Yummy food and great service!“

“Love this restaurant! Great food, great service, and definitely worth the 30 minute drive.“

“Just had a delicious authentic meal with one of the best spicy margaritas ever! Our server was beyond attentive, kind, and just all-around super nice! Cannot recommend this place enough, soooo good!!!“

“First time here. Delicious food and drinks! Fantastic staff! My new favorite restaurant.“

“Let me just preface this by saying I moved here from South Texas and have spent more than my fair share of time in Old Mexico. In years of searching for REAL Mexican food in St Louis, I’ve had many disappointments. This place was absolutely fantastic and pure pleasure for an old Texan. It even made me shhh my wife because I wasn’t willing to remove my focus from the delicacy I was partaking in. Can’t recommend this place enough and haven’t been able to stop telling others about it. I’ll be a permanent fixture there for sure.“

“Awesome food and service!!“

“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.“

“Stopped in for some chips and salsa and flautas to go. Great batch of salsa and everything (including the chips) was fresh and great.
Easy in and out.

Parking: Parking lot is congested and kind of rough but I'd never hold that against Chevys 😀“

“Fast friendly people and the food is good“

“coming from Texas, I've been trying to find good Mexican food. this place is absolutely delicious and well priced. the hospitality and friendliness of the staff alone make this place quickly one of my favorites.“

“The BEST Mexican restaurant I have been to in the St. Louis area! The atmosphere is very cozy, unique and kinda Hip! The service is outstanding and the bartender we had, Wolfgang, was very personable, outgoing and got to know our names!! Who does that!?!? We got a table for eight within 15 minutes of having a drink at the bar! We will be back.“

“This place was amazing. They immediately sat our last minute party of twelve, the food was impeccable, and the service even better. Definitely recommend.“

“Great service Buenos precios 🍽“

“Quesoburrias Tacos are 🔥🔥🔥🔥“

“Ice cream is great, try the raspberry cheese swirl“

“so delicious and reasonable! will be back.“

“The food here is absolutely incredible. The green chile pork is amazing. Meat it's fall apart tender and the flavor is full and robust. We also had the steak milenesa. It had a great crust and fork tender with great flavor. NOTHING was bad. Service matches the flavor. Food came fast, and the waitress made our dinner a great experience.

You can't go wrong here!“

“Very friendly service. I live their guacamole and sopes.“

“I give the store 4 stars, it's a good place but they should be more careful with the food they sell. I bought 2 pounds of sweetbreads and it turns out that they mix them with hard gizzards. I find it unpleasant that they do that and you don't enjoy what you buy.“

“Excellent food and service. Outstanding margaritas!! Worth the trip!“

“I was blown away! Not only are they open on Sundays, they have the tastiest, freshest chips and salsa I've ever tried. Enjoyed my shrimp chimichanga, as well as the rice and beans. Everything was wonderful. I'm recommending them to everybody.“

“Great Mexican food! Everything was delicious and service was great too!“

“We just moved to the area, and just happened to see this restaurant today, so we stopped in. The staff is friendly and welcoming, and the food is some of the best I’ve ever had. This will be our new regular Mexican place😎“

“Authentic Mexican food great flavor and unique menu items!!!“
