Rockstar Tacos is a taco spot in the Gaslight building paying homage to the spirit of rock and roll with pun forward dishes.Chef Wil Pelly and a bandmate's post-gig musings birthed this deliciously unique concept. Since its inception in 2018, this taco spot has been serving up punny dishes and friendly service.They have a crab Rangoon quesadilla called “Goonies are Goo” so #stlouispescatraianapproved @stlouispescatarians on instagram.

I'm very disappointed. The atmosphere is cool, but I don't recommend eating here unless you're ok with roaches crawling all over the kitchen your food is being prepared in. Also, the owner Wil is a hot head.

Had a Cherry White, Pep Sematary, and Slice Spice Baby and all were delicious. The Curd Eye Blind are some of the best cheese curds I’ve had. The tamales were perfect, and the Hot for Pizza was a great elevated Mexican pizza. Absolutely will be back!

TrUST mE! I dine here quite frequently as it is delicious, the staff is great, and the menu is hilarious if you know Jack about music. While not my favorite, the "man in the box" jackkboxx riff is spot on, featuring AMERICAN CHEESE and a SWEET CHILI SAUCE", as listed plainly in the menu description. The chorizo is so scrumtrulecent I often get a side to go to make w eggs in the AM. The scrimp tacos are my 2nd fav. Sorry if this review is confusing, the shockingly good bar has me swooning.

I have never been so confused in my life, or trusted other reviewers less. After hearing so frequently that the taco place is this bar is shockingly good, I think the only true word in that is shocking. The chorizo taco was dry and tasteless. The man in the box had AMERICAN CHEESE ON IT, and salsa that was so terrible we thought it was ketchup. The down on the korner were fried monstrosities. The shrimp tacos were just meh. At the very least the guac has to be good, right?? No. It’s so clearly out of a bag. The only edible thing were the chips. Maybe you have to be trashed to think this is a good taco place? Or the other reviewers have never had a single meal before in their lives. But do not go here.

Serious kickass rockstar vibes all around - beyond fantastic service, ambiance, REALLY delish custom drink (because my basic ass didn't know what to order besides rum and coke and then was inspired to ask the bartender for recommendations) annnnnd the food omfg chorizo tacos were crazy awesome and I'm taking extra home with me plus extra chips - the absolute best seasoning and texture comboAs an 80's kid the vibe esp music is a delight! For sure coming back again...maybe tomorrow
$9 for a tequila n tonic... and it didn't even taste good...

Great! Great prices, Great food, Great puns (ZZ Pop, uh haw haw haw). I am looking forward to returning when perhaps there will be an ode to Metallica with a chili relleno called Pepper Deepfryer or a pie with An Oreo Cookie Crust in honor of Queen.

The idea of a pop up style taco restaurant in a recording studio is what drew me in. The amazing food, service, drinks and decor keep me coming back! This place is a lot of fun with limited hours and a killer rotating menu! Vegetarian and vegan options- they have a really fun vibe and I think it's my favorite taco Tuesday stop- but it works great on a Saturday as well! When you walk in- they greet you and sit you down with a fresh basket of popcorn and vegan butter covered in rock star dust- a proprietary blend of spices that enhances almost all the items on the menu! This alone is great! The names on the menu are punny and give homage to excellent song titles or artists while also being creative in the flavors and execution. Whatever you are looking for, you will likely find it here- ask the servers for recommendations- like the seasonal pomegranate basil syrup added to a margarita or lemonade! That was TOPS for me! Great place to meet friends after work or a cute romantic date night. I can't wait to go back! They have a small lot, and limited seating- so be ready to wait (it's worth it)
