“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.“

“Fantastic food, service, decor, and grewt waitress. Would highly recommend and eat here again.“

“The chicken and rice!! Mmmmm chefs kiss!“

“Great food and margaritas“

“Best caldo de pollo (chicken soup) in St. Louis!! Fast friendly service!“

“It was great! Chips and salsa included. Salsa comes in the pour bottles. They had a small queso for $5 and it was very good.

I got 3 street tacos, steak, pastor, and carniatas. Absolutely delicious!! I would recommend anyone who wants tacos to eat here!“

“Amberley was a wonderful waitress for us today and the the food was delicious.“

“Just moved to the area and found this place by accident! We are life long Poplar Bluff Mo people and to see this local restaurant up here was a great treat for our little family! Great food and great atmosphere!“

“This is our new favorite Mexican restaurant in the STL area! Food was amazing and service was fast and friendly!“

“Excellent food with excellent prices.“

“Best Mexican joint in town. As someone of Latin American descent, the food is about as authentic as it gets. I had the birria tacos, and they were delicious. The waiter was very sweet and attentive. The food came out in a timely fashion. Can’t say enough about this place, a wonderful restaurant for casual food and drinks.“

“Excellent! Food was tasty. Would definitely recommend.“

“Amazing food! Amazing people! Seafood trio is my go to every time! Favorite restaurant n the valley!“

“Finally got to try this place after a string of bad luck regarding sporadic availability. As of April 2024, they sell burritos, walking tacos, nachos, and taco bowls. All are about $20 - much too steep for my liking, and at that price, I would skip if I were not on the dining plan.That being said, I was really impressed with what I got for my meal credit. Mexican is an EXTREMELY welcome change of pace from the usual theme park fare. I got a burrito, and was given a choice of rice, black/pinto beans, chicken/beef, and an assortment of toppings -- cheese/lettuce/pico/jalapenos/sour cream. It, as with all of the entrees here, comes with a side of chips, which were totally decent. This burrito was NOT small. Flavor and quality-wise, of course it wasn't Chipotle caliber, but it was still very tasty and filling. Service was really pleasant and quick. Macho Nacho has quickly ascended to one of my favorite dining options at Six Flags St. Louis. If you are planning on getting something to eat at the park, this is a great spot. Looking forward to trying the other offerings at this location this summer.“

“The staff was welcoming and friendly as we entered. The food was good/as expected from qdoba. The dinning room was clean. A few of the other qdoba locations in the city have seemed to go downhill a bit, but not this one. Good location to pick if you are wanting qdoba!“

“Everything was delicious, and arrived quickly and hot !! Salsa and chips are really good 👍 server was really helpful and easy to work with“

“We were VERY skeptical after having read through the reviews but we gave it a shot and it turned out well. The kid making the food was very nice and respectful and the birria bowl was good. There wasn't a TON of meat but you can get more for an upcharge. The only reason I may do that next time is because I had so many toppings, which isn't a bad thing. All and all it was a good experience. We will definitely be back. The only thing that would make it better is if they brought back the Mexican gumbo (now THAT was amazing!) :-)“

“I love this chipotle, this is the best one. The employees are always so nice and smiling the general manager nandini and the other Mgr. Kaelyn are so lucky to have the employees they have everyone it’s always so welcoming and kind. This is the only chipotle to come to. And since i have become a regular they give me my meal for free sometimes and i love the fact the appreciate their regulars enough to do that.“

“Their menu is incredible! The fundido is the best around, the Seafood Trio a favorite always and the rack of ribs simply divine. Kelly always takes great care of us and Espino himself makes a visit each time to the table so we can commend his culinary genius. Highly recommend!!!“
