New Mexican Restaurants near St. Louis, MO

“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.“

“10/10!!! This isn’t your typically chain Mexican place! My husband and I went here for the second time because we just fell in love with the food, especially the authentic recipes for their tamales! The food in particular reminded my husband of his grandma and mom who passed already which warmed my heart! Wonderful meal! We forgot to leave a review last time but this time we did and also brought home some tamales! Everything is so good here, hopefully next time we will call ahead to try some mole! Thank you for the outstanding service and the owner Maria, for our awesome lunch. We will be coming here again with our family!“

“Came in yesterday and Maddy was amazing! Very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu items! Definitely will return.“

“My wife and I went to Nixta last light for her birthday. We cannot say enough rave reviews! The atmosphere was romantic, chic and cozy. The food was EXCELLENT considering that I normally do not like Mexican food. The fish tacos and chicken tacos were superb. The tortilla chips were so good and the flan was the topping to a great night.“

“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.“
