To celebrate Cinco de Mayo, I took my wife to Chimi's Fresh-Mex (the Rock Road location). It had…read morebeen a few years since our last visit, so we weren't sure what to expect. We arrived about 10 minutes before 5:00 p.m., and the place was already packed--impressive considering the restaurant has a large dining area. Even so, we were seated within a couple of minutes, which was a great start. For how busy it was, the service really stood out. It was quick, attentive, and well-managed throughout our visit. My wife ordered the vegetarian fajitas with a glass of Pinot Grigio, and I went with the chicken fajitas and a Corona. Our food arrived in about 10 minutes, which was surprisingly fast given the crowd. The complimentary chips and salsa were fresh and flavorful, and both fajita dishes were cooked perfectly and tasted great. Everything came out hot and well-prepared. Overall, I was genuinely impressed. On one of the busiest days of the year for a Mexican restaurant, both the food and service were on point. We'll definitely be back sooner rather than later.

I haven't been to a Chimis in a very long time so a friend decided to stop in for lunch…read more Service was pretty steady during lunch and our server was pretty prompt. We ordered frozen margarita which were really good but sweet. We ordered from the lunch menu which is smaller portions than the lunch but just enough food. The shredded chicken in my enchilada was bland but the shredded beef was good in my chimi. Their refried beans are runny which didn't bother me as it was still good. I would return if in in the area.

Good service & food quality…read more We had a very kind server who made good recommendations. We wished we ordered the Birria tacos "crispy" instead of American style. The chicken in the fajitas was very good but the peppers could have used more spice, still a good pick. However, next time I'll request more seasoning.

I love the market though pretty much anything you can ask for. Although i genuinely only come for the food which is again really good but ive been turned down so many times ill give it a few more chances before i give up. the energy is comforting if you enjoy the music i do, but from my experiences this far im hoping i just have bad luck and that these are kind people happy to serve all.

They must have switched locations since I reviewed…read more This time I went in for the supermarket to get specific spices. If you have specific spices for teas like I do, check out the wall of bag spices AND the selection of plastic containers (in another aisle). I feel bad for writing this because such a large store and the amount of work the employees spend on keeping it organized was impressive. Asking them to reorganize maybe the most "gringo" thing I could do, but I had to ask a customer and her daughter? tried to find the specific spice...they had to ask a worker that took me to the plastic container aisle. BUT- the major thing is that El Morelia offered the spice. Plus others that I wanted try! My other mistake was not visiting during the week and eating at the in store restaurant. On Saturday my bill was almost restaurant prices from a few years ago. During the week prices are more reasonable. The toppings bar completely changes the taste combination and value. Definitely "as-good-as-it-gets"! The employees were restocking bread container with fresh loaves with a sign stating "3 loaves for $2"... I grabbed 3 and just ate one- phenomenal! Not sure if it is sourdough, but it is definitely fresh and delicious! Mexican sodas variety would make Sam's Club jealous. Far more grocery selection than I ever imagined. The store is an old warehouse, but it is clean and well-stocked.

This place serves up some authentic Mexican flavors no doubt! I love that they open so early so you…read morecan grab an early brunch on the weekend. I got the enchiladas de mole and the shrimp a la diabla, which had some pretty unique flavors and complexity. Fair warning the shrimp a la diabla was the spiciest thing I have ever had. It was really good but definitely not the faint of heart. It was sooooo spicy that I was sweating. The enchiladas was very good as well. The mole sauce had an interesting bitterness to it. I liked it very much. I highly recommend you ordering that one. Overall, I enjoyed my experience here and I would come back to try more of their food.

Try this place if you like seafood. Nayarit style preparations. The menu is huge. Instead of chips…read moreand salsa you get chips and ceviche. I ate the whole fried tilapia. You can choose your sauce. I went with garlic. Absolutely delicious. The platter includes rice, garlic bread and some lettuce. My husband got a mixed seafood pasta in a creamy sauce with pineapple served in half a pineapple. Also a delightful dish. The restaurant is not what you would expect. It's gargantuan in size, like an event space. There is a big stage in one corner, a tiki style bar and murals of Mexican scenes on the walls. It is tucked in the back of an old shopping plaza next to a Hindu temple, and takes a little effort to find. Don't mistake the Mexican restaurant right on Natural Bridge at McKelvey for this one. For Marisco you need to get to the back of the plaza. We went on a Monday, and it was quiet, but I understand it's hopping on the weekends. We checked it out based on a good review in St Louis Magazine. Great food and great service. Also, note that there are some kids items - the usual chicken nuggets, cheese quesadilla, etc. Non-seafood items are limited. I saw steak and chicken fajitas, and I'm sure they would make you something with steak or chicken if you asked. But this is a place for fish lovers!

I usually order the Chile Rellano, which is cheesy and delicious. The sauce is the best part. We also always order the chips and salsa, you can tell the salsa is made fresh because it's always a little different but always good. The red salsa is nice and smoky while the green is fresh and has a bite to it. The beans and rice are the best of any Mexican restaurant in the area. The St. Ann location has a liquor license now which is great. Service is always good and prices are fair.

We came here for a late night snack/dinner last week and were immediately greeted with a familiar…read moredelicious meat fragrance. The next thing we noticed was how big (and clean) the restaurant is; has plenty of seatings and a wood dance floor in the middle, 4 TV at each corner and audio/speakers station close by (they have karaoke night and probably also accommodate family parties). Server was friendly and accommodating; we received our chips & salsa & water as soon as we sat down. **Tips: Add salsa to all. The red salsa is more spicy and green salsa is a bit sour and less spicy. I like to combine both to my tacos. Here's the food review (3.5 stars): - Tongue and cheek meat tacos: simple salt & pepper seasoning, but meat is soft and tender. It still have the street tacos flavor but a bit too much broth in the tacos. Add their salsas and a squeeze of lime and they're still good tacos. - Pastor taco: probably the best of the tacos we tried that night. Its flavor was just right, not too much seasoning and grilled just right. - Steak quesadilla: simple steak and cheese quesadilla; not our biggest fan. the steak pieces could be bigger and juicier, my husband wishes it'd have more steak in it. But for the price, it's not too bad. - Horchata: not the best we've had, a bit too milky and not enough rice & cinnamon flavor. - Chile relleno: delicious! my husband was craving and it's only available as an entree, but the server & chef made it possible for us to just order one! :)

This is the most authentic Mexican food I have had in the States, just as good as the food I lived…read moreon in Tijuana for two summers. If you like birria, get theirs. If you've never had birria, try theirs. It's heavenly. Get some tortillas so you can scoop the meat into them and dip them in the soup. It's heavenly, I promise. Elote lovers -- this is THE PLACE. The elotes are to die for. If you love paletas, go next door and grab some paletas and an aqua fresca. I'm telling you, this is as if you were getting street food IN MEXICO. So authentic and SO DELICIOUS. The service is amazing. Everyone is always so friendly, both in person and over the phone. When we call, they are so kind and make us feel special. My Spanish isn't perfect but I speak it fairly okay and someone always notices and embraces that I'm learning it. Everyone is incredibly kind. I highly recommend everything about this place!

Plantains- decent Baleada - had a weird flavor and was dry would of been better with some kind of salsa or hot sauce but none was included..ate the insides Tamale- it was good but had no meat just big huge pieces of fat, and I hate the fat so I had to pick it all out .. Other then that it was just ok for the price.. Maybe throw in some hot sauce with your online orders would definitely help out!

My quick visit had me leaning a few things…read more First- the advertising of 10 am start time was false this Sunday. Second- the employees showed up before the doors are unlocked Third-the place was left cleaned from the night before Forth- no tea is offered Fifth- the waitress rounded down on the bill or up on the change so I rounded up on the tip The (?) huevo (soft taco- pic) was large and filling for being the $5.99 (cheapest breakfast) I could find. Having no tea to sell customers in America seems a waste to me. (Juices seems the specialty) The restaurant was well cleaned from the night before. The restaurant seemed nicely decorated for just being a strip mall. For a restaurant within walking distance- I became an immediate fan. I need more money and other people plus visits to enjoy the menu to rate higher.

I happened to try a some and thought....ohhhh the BF would really like this. Our birria taco was lacking EVERYTHING I had been seeing for the past week and tasted. Apparently it must taste better when you order it through door dash. Our taco portion was lacking the size and meat filling my co-workers received. Our taco was lacking red onions. The side birria sauce was not the same flavor as I had previously tasted. Just all around overly disappointed. We will not be returning.
