    Steak Chimichangas (WellDone)
    Darnell S.

    Lunch Date with the Mrs. Asked for a WellDone Steak Chimi and that's what I got from now on that's how I want it cooked everyplace I get it from because they executed it perfectly. Service was decent an am the locations is the only one left in town so I cherish it like it's my own. My wife ended up getting the tacos you dip and she loved them

    So I wanted a quick bite to eat after going for drinks and I came here wanting nachos. The hosts lead me of to the side where she wanted to stand so o can make a to-go order and said someone will be with me but no one came. Also while waiting it was really trashy in the restaurant so I ultimately left after waiting 15 minutes.

    This restaurant has quietly became my go to place to drink at in Saint Louis. With the different flavors of margaritas that are available you have plenty of choices to find one that suits you. The food is kind of blah, but then again this is coming from a person that lives in south Texas so I'm biased but price wise everything is pretty fair. The service can sometimes be hit or miss depending on when you go

    Arroz Con Pollo

    I really want to give a higher rating but here are my thoughts. Food was absolutely delicious. Chips and salsa were good but nothing special. Service was average ( restaurant wasn't busy and it wasn't the fastest service). My biggest reason for 3 stars is the margarita. I love a good margarita as much as the next person, out this one was not good AT ALL. Like 0/5 good. It tastes like straight tequila. I can handle a stronger margarita don't get me wrong, but this tasted like straight tequila and I wasn't able to drink it. Mind you, a pitcher is $35 which is a little crazy to me. I had to take it home to try to make it taste better with simple syrup and strawberry puree but it was just too strong. I think the restaurant is super cute and food is great, but don't recommend the margaritas and service is average.

    Very sad to hear they've lost their liquor license. Great Margs. Food was delish and I loved it. Service was fairly quick. And the ambiance is as beautiful as the patrons! It's lovely Mexican culture based and themed. Feels like a hole in the wall on the streets of Juarez.

    This place is good for late night bites. We came in for a super quick bite after a Blues Game when most places are closed for dining. Salsa was really tasty actually. My son ordered the Taco Mexicano Combo. He said it was just okay! We were seated all the way in the back past the bar. It was somewhat noisy, a bit dirty and under construction. When we exited we saw there was another section on the other side that was more open and comfortable. Maybe next time....

    Chicken was moist and perfect for the chicken. Soft taco beans were creamy rice was fluffy. The tamale was homemade and perfect. Straw soda and Cadillac margarita delicious!

    Even though it was a warm evening, we sat outside to catch the breeze. After ordering margaritas we studied the menu. I knew what I wanted. Their ground beef tacos which I love because they are served on corn taco shells. Delicious as usual. Would I come back here? Yes, if you see me there stop by and say hello.

    It took a few minutes for someone to help us. We were eventually seated, ordered our food, and it felt like we were being rushed. We sat outside. They weren't super busy. I wasn't a fan of the food. I had to force myself to eat. The margarita was good but tasted like juice. No signs of alcohol at all..

    El burro is a great restaurant. Well worth the wait . I really enjoyed the decor and lighting of the entire place. So much on the walls and hanging from the ceiling. Very detailed and thought out. Our waitress was very upbeat vibrant and available. Repeatedly checked in and smile the entire time. The food was absolutely amazing. We ordered the fajita skillet and a margarita pitcher. That margarita is the real deal and will put you on your back literally. Best margarita ever I can say after I woke up. I will definitely be back!

    Jess F.

    Wow. This is truly an underrated Mexican restaurant. I can't believe I'm just now trying it for the very first time. The margaritas are on point!!!! They say me down so fast and the drinks were so good I'll be back soon!!!

    Banana margarita
    Christy C.

    The Pollo Con Arroz is the ONLY meal that I can seem order whenever I visit this restaurant, I can't seem to get enough of it, it's the best hands down, along with the banana margarita that I ordered. The service is always amazing. I've always been seated promptly no matter how crowded the restaurant is, and before you can even sit down, the server comes with the chips and salsa, which are nice and warm and fresh. The restaurant has both inside and outside seating for sitting outside to enjoy the nice weather and it's located in the Central West End so if you are lucky enough to get a window seat just know that you'll be thoroughly entertained from all of the people walking to and from nearby venues

    Does the outdoor seating have heaters on cooler days/evenings?

    They have a covered outdoor section

    Do they take reservations?

    I don't think so. You can see if they're on the no wait app but I've never had to wait too long to get it except when it's a perfect summer night and it jammed.

    Chava's is one of my favorite places to eat in Soulard, this is one of the best Mexican restaurants…read morearound. When you arrive, there is a lot of parking. I usually end up parking on the street right around the restaurant. The restaurant is casual, yet nicely decorated. The wood accents bring a homey feel to the space, while still emphasizing Mexican culture. After being seated with my friend, we were brought chips and salsa. The chips were warm and fresh, and the salsa was chunky and spicy. Our server was so friendly, and we had excellent service. I ordered the BBQ Chicken Quesadilla. It was delectable! The smoky flavor, tender and juicy chicken, and the nicely-sized portion made this an excellent meal. For dessert, we ordered the Churros. And wow! They were warm, sugary, and filled with gooey cream cheese! The Dutch chocolate on the side was such a complimentary touch. I am excited to come ba

    Very good visit that was highlighted by our server, Maricela. She was so friendly and knowledgeable…read moreof the menu. My vegetarian wife had the Bean Tostada and I had the Chicken Fajitas. My wife loved her tostada and my fajitas were good...not great. The chicken seemed to not have a lot of flavor. The Margarita's on the ricks were good...again, not great. What is odd it that I was charged for Vegetarian Fajitas as well. I did not look at my receipt until I was 2,000 miles away. The Manager of Chavas credited my Visa was he informed of the issue. Again, Maricela was key in rectifying the issue. Chavas was very good and we would return if in the area.
