My latinaX partner and I came here on a Sunday and ordered the Sopes combo platter and I the 4 mixed tacos. She told me the food reminded her of the flavors of home. The ambiance reminds me of Tequilas in Waterloo IL, but under the sea... a whole a world. She stated it reminded her of her abuelita's kitchen Ingredients were fresh! Service was great and lovely. read more

First and foremost, if you are one of those folks that thinks the place with the Bell and wants you to run for the border, is any way, Mexican "food", then I can almost promise you that you won't enjoy the food here. Not "slamming" the other place however, we need to be on the same page - this is NOT that place. Now that that's out of the way, what does it actually mean? The food here is not Americanized. The food here is an earthy, down-home lightly seasoned assortment of goodies made for those that appreciate the heartiness of food prepared to satisfy tastes that prefer fixings more like what you'd get if you were invited to their home. Bear in mind that we've only done take out so we can't really speak to the dine-in experience. What I can say, from my perspective, is that the decor is not going to take your breath away if you're interested in ambiance and panache, rather, it's your standard fare interior designed to kinda look like a Mexican restaurant - whatever that actually means. But ah yes, we didn't come for the tablecloths and cutlery - we came for the Chimichangas baby! If this is your first read of one of our reviews, then you may not know that my wife and I are not interested, for the most part, in pretense, Michelin Star fare or avant-garde pop-ups. Instead, we prefer to experience the lives of the owners through the food as an expression of their take on their appreciation for what food can mean to us all. We don't do "chains" bolstered by corporate dollars and we seek out those local mom-and-pop shops catering to a narrow group of folks that like their food and those that eat it, without marketing trappings to hide a lack of real substance. In other words, we like those hole-in-the-wall joints that make food that makes you think about cussing out loud at just how it good it tastes, how it made you feel while eating it and more, how you felt when you finally got done; we want those food experiences that speak to the soul from the first bite and keep up the pace all the way to the last bite. That said, I have only had the Chimichanga with beef and beef enchiladas. Not that I've only been there once, as we've been there many times, rather, I haven't reached a point yet where I'm ready to abandon the richness of the delicious marriage of seasonings, portions and how they just hang out in the never-doughy wrap, smothered in whatever kinda sauce that it is - yummy! I could ask what it is, but frankly, I don't care. I just take their in-house made chips and scoop it up. This is the first time that I've ever not cared about the meat falling out because, drum roll, I'm gonna really enjoy scooping it all up with the chips. Yep, they're that good to me. Finally, if you go there, try and remember that this is not AMERICANIZED and as a result, you won't find a lot of seasoning trying to mask faults and failures. The seasoning that is there is there for a purpose and it's to enhance, not to cover. Oh, and they have a hot-ass salsa that rocks but, you need to ask for it. And a word to the reader, if you're a wuss, like me, when it comes to all things spicy and hot, take wee little bits of it at first. It is, to my wife and I, worth the risks. Other than that, some day I will eventually work my way through the menu, but truth be told, I'm in absolutely no hurry. And that's a mighty fine thing. Oh, and so you know, we tend to reserve 5-star reviews for those places that are so exceptional that they grant us such depth of emotion and pleasure that we are left spellbound by the whole experience. read more

See all

I ordered carry out about an hour before close, and it was good as always, I usually dine in. I had a rough day at work, so I had a shot of tequila. They have a great selection, but I went with Espolon. Great spot, highly recommend. read more

Absolutely terrible. We were the only people there, yet it seemed the service was rather long. But I'm honestly not too concerned about that, it's the food that got us. Our chips weren't the regular style of cantina chips, the delicious thin and crispy white corn ones. These were thick yellow corn chips, like the ones you can get in a bag at the dollar store for a buck. But then our entrées arrived, and they were just inexcusable. My partner got tacos that he couldn't finish, and ended up throwing away once we got home. He didn't tell me the specifics besides saying that they were really, really bad. I got the caldo de camaron. Caldo de camaron is one of my all-time favorite dishes, and there are a variety of ways to make it. The most frequent is a shrimp broth with whole shrimp, guajillo chilies, onion, whole shrimp, avocado, tomatoes, carrots and potatoes. I personally prefer a version WITHOUT the potatoes and carrots, and with rice, but I can enjoy the other kind. The caldo de camaron here, however, was such a cheap imitation of the traditional recipe. The broth was absolutely flavorless. I kept adding salt to it, to no avail. There is also a habit among St. Louis Mexican restaurants to add inordinate amounts of frozen vegetables to caldo de camaron- typically those bagged collections of cauliflower, carrots, and broccoli that you get at any local supermarket. Not only is this not a part of an authentic recipe, it's a way to cheapen the cost of serving a relatively expensive soup by filling it up with inexpensive, unwanted ingredients, and this place was no exception. I suppose I should have taken heed of the vague menu description (although that could have been worse - I've ordered caldo de camaron elsewhere, at places that specifically describe it as a shrimp, avocado, rice and chili soup, and it comes to me loaded with giant chunks of frozen broccoli). That frozen vegetable mix was completely lacking in taste. There was also NO avocado, really not much of anything besides the watery, flavorless broth, some tail-on shrimps, and this horrid frozen vegetable mix. I, too, could not finish my meal, and I'm one of those people who feels compelled to clear my plate. I just couldn't do it, it was just so incredibly unappetizing. The service we did get was friendly, but the food was just so bad. I do not believe I will be returning. read more

Pretty darn good. I got the chicken soup, a kids meal and chicken/shrimp/steak nachos. It was fireeeeeee.

Menu is more diverse than most with some items that aren't found elsewhere in St. Louis. Great margs and service. Atmosphere is special and prices are fair. read more

Ordered Texas Nachos. Being from Texas myself I know what any true Mexican Nacho should taste like. I'm truly disappointed. The price for soft drinks and tea is really high with 1 refill limit and had an old metallic plumbing taste. The food is bland, and the Mexican Music, coming from Karaoke machine was too loud read more

I ordered the shrimp tacos. Some of the worst tacos I've ever eaten. The Shrimps had no flavor. Not even a pinch of salt or pepper. It tasted like I was eating a lettuce taco. All I could taste was the lettuce ; which was very watery ; caused my taco shells to be watery. I will never eat here again. read more

Almost missed this place because it's not well lit when driving past at night, but wow am I glad we stopped in. They have $2 happy hour margaritas and delicious food that won't break the bank. Our waitress was very nice and the food came out quickly, however, it could have been a little bit more warm. The authentic decor inside and beautiful built in bar almost convinced me I was back in Mexico! I'm a regular at the Mexican restaurants on Cherokee street, but I think I may have found my new hidden gem! read more

First time I ever tried this place and it was incredible!! Best piña colada I've had in St. Louis and the drinks are huge, especially for the price. Food tasted fresh and flavorful and came out really quickly, and the bartender was very friendly and gave great service! We will definitely be going back and I highly recommend giving this place a try! read more

Casa Tequila Inc. Mexican Restaurant - mm delicias Margarita happy honly $2. dólares - Mexican Near Me - St. Louis, Missouri

We ordered Uber Eats from here and were really hoping for good Mexican, unfortunately that's not what we got. I ordered the carnitas plate while my husband ordered the Chilango burrito, and we had an order of chips and cheese sauce. Two minutes after I placed our order, I received a call saying they don't have carnitas plates, even though it's on the Uber Eats menu, and I needed to change my order. I asked to get the same thing as my husband but with just chicken. Our order arrived cold, the meat wasn't seasoned well, the lettuce used was a salad mix so while it contained lettuce, it also included carrots and cabbage which was strange, with the addition of the beans, the texture was terrible and almost inedible. Needless to say, we won't be ordering from there again. read more
