The vibe is strong here - and it's definitely a party. I went for the first time with my mom and a friend, plus her mom. During our meal, a couple of servers headed toward a person celebrating their birthday and we heard all of the excited cheers. It was a totally festive, bonus moment. The staff was super attentive - without being overbearing - and everything we ordered was excellent! Fresh, flavorful and exactly what you want from a tasty Mexican spot. read more

Great service love the wood doors as you enter very beautiful. As soon as you walk in I love the entryway, but it is small so if they're busy, probably best to wait outside. They do have a lot of seating. The restaurant is kind of like a circle. That atmosphere is very loud, but very inviting The fajitas were good. I only wish they had more chicken less onion and more veggies. It was more so onions than anything else. Margarita was delicious and went down way too easily ha ha read more

El Mezon - Street Tacos - Mexican Near Me - O'Fallon, Missouri

This is the chosen spot for both my family and my coworkers when choosing a place to enjoy good Mexican food! I have never had bad food or service from this location. My go to is the Jalisco special, it's a huge portion and so delicious! The only downside is that the parking lot can be a nightmare with how busy this place can get! read more

This review is for both the restaurant and the food truck. There doesn't seem to be a standalone Yelp page for just the food truck, although their offerings are different. The food truck has incredible and unique tacos that aren't available at the restaurant. I always get the tripe taco when I stop by, because it's not readily available at most Mexican restaurants. They also offer al pastor, ibbiria, campechanos, chorizo and chicken to name a few. All tacos come with lime, sautéed onions, cucumber/radishes and a grilled jalapeno. Plus two salsas, a green and a red. This allows you to customize the tacos to your liking. The guys running the truck are always very friendly and quick with your order. The truck is located at the corner of Hwy K and Veterans Memorial Parkway in the @Home parking lot. The restaurant is also my favorite Mexican spot! They have your classic Mexican restaurant menu with some of their own specialty dishes thrown in. They offer several large burritos, a fun list of appetizers and my favorite the Shrimp Diablo, which isn't as spicy as it sounds! The O Fallon location has a beautiful rich wood interior with a giant wood carved statue right in the middle of the room! Skip Taco Bell and really treat yourself! read more

I stopped into El Mezon with a coworker for lunch and was blown away by how good the food was, the street tacos were some of the best I've ever had and they are stuffed. Quesadilla was delicious and filling. the interior has amazing artwork, and statues that really give an authentic feel, the staff was polite and quick getting our food, perfect place for quick lunch breaks or a nice sit down dinner with friends. read more

Awesome spot! Great spicy margs, salsa is amazing and food comes out quick and is reasonably priced. The burritos are absolutely enormous. As are the medium sized margaritas. Restaurant gets super loud when they are busy and sometimes have live music! Highly recommend read more

Called in for pick up and they said it would be half an hour, got there and still had to wait another 20 to 30 minutes. They were really busy. Food was okay, it wasn't great but it wasn't bad either. My friend is very picky with the tortillas and he didn't really like them. I'll give it another go if I'm ever around the area. read more

**It's Mexican *** If you know me you know I love a good Mexican adventure. Stumbled upon this gem in Lake St. Louis. Parking plentiful. Upon walking in beautiful scenic photogenic pieces. Staff welcoming and friendly. Speedy seating. Building spacious, open and well lit. Chips and salsa was just basic and bland in my opinion . My mom and I ordered a bud light and tropical frozen margaritas. I ordered a shredded chicken burrito fajita that was delicious, hot and fresh . My mom ordered el mezon steak and shrimp. It consisted of t bone steak/shrimp, baked potato and guacamole salad . Prices were reasonable. I will definitely return. read more

Receipt did not match our order and waiter kept telling us it did not matter because there POS did not list their menu items....which would have been believable except the prices did not match either. The Cadillac margarita was nothing but sweet and sour and left them full on table. read more

I tried. If you enjoy steamed steak, then this is the restaurant establishment for you. We received the four taco meal and also cheesy rice with added steak and both entrées steak was definitely steamed/microwave or pre-cooked. The cheese sauce, salsa & rice were a hunger saver. I will continue to go to the little yellow Mexican food truck down the street. read more

El Mezon - Molcajete - Mexican Near Me - O'Fallon, Missouri

This place continues to impress us. This time we both ordered Carne Asada. The offering overall is excellent. The flat steak is hammered flat. Mine was medium to well -- I prefer medium rare -- but this is hard to achieve with a thin steak. The steak does not present with the seasoning you might find at an Uncle Julio's but is tasty. For desserts try the fried ice cream. It is delicious. The flan is also tasty. read more

Another weekend, another restaurant to review. This time we visited El Mezon Mexican restaurant. We stopped by the O Fallon, MO on a Sunday after the lunch rush and El Mezon was still seating diners looking for a great meal. Lots of impressive decor as you enter the restaurant, and we were seated quickly. El Mezon does cater to large groups but I would call in advance make sure your party can me accommodated. El Mezon does have a bar for those looking for a happy hour or drink while you wait. Once seated our server was quick to provide chips and spicy salad and get our drink order while we reviewed the menu. El Mezon has a very diverse menu you expect to see and they do have menudo! I tried menudo while we also ordered the chicken burrito with verde salsa. Both dishes were served very hot and delicious. Prices were very reasonable with good portions. Restaurant was very clean and tables were serviced quickly. Overall great experience and will try the St. Peter's location. read more

This is a much larger space than he original St. Peter's location at I-70 and Highway 79 (Salt Lick Road). So, it's much more suitable for groups and has several 8-person tables. The menu seemed to be the same. Service, which is outstanding at the St. Peter's location, is high here also. The hard surfaces, however, added a lot of noise and made conversation more challenging up an down our table. Seven of eight in our party enjoyed their lunches, with one describing a mixed meat and veggie plate as only "okay." read more

We just love that place. It's the best Mexican restaurant in town. Our food was very hot very fast and very good. Enjoy it very much.

I am from Southern California and have tasted some of the best real Mexican foods. El Mezon is one of the few that bring me back to that experience. This particular review is from my 1st online ordering from their own website. Love the fact that I can order and pick up in a quick but high quality way. BTW using their app and not a third party app gives more to the restaurant itself and I really appreciate that it goes where it's deserved. The food was perfect, temperature, presentation and most of all taste. The restaurant itself appears to be more of an upscale establishment, but extremely affordable. Don't give many 5 star reviews but have to here! Great date night location!!!! read more

So far this is up there as some of the best Mexican food I've had in STL. Food was so good we went back within a week for another round So far we've tried the lunch taco/enchilada combo, spicy shrimp quesadilla, carne asada burrito (queso on the side), fajita quesadilla, carne asada tacos, margaritas, and churros. EVERYTHING was good. So glad the salsa has some spice to it! The carne asada doesn't taste like the typical grilled meat but instead possibly baked or slow roasted, it's so tasty! Margaritas was yummy & packs a punch! read more

The interior is so intricate and beautiful and CLEAN. The Jalisco special is loaded with chicken, steak, bell peppers & onions on a bed of cheesy rice. It's rich and delicious and way more food than anyone can eat in a sitting. The service was excellent and the interior is really beautifully done. We've tried a lot of Mexican restaurants in the area and this one is the best! read more

First things first, they really impressed me with the decor. Like looking at the strip mall they're in and when you step inside was just wonderful. Beautiful statues and lighting. It was so clean in there. They had a mariachi band floating around playing music for the tables and my kids LOVED joining in and playing the maracas when they came by our table. Service was good, server was nice. They had happy hour at the time we went. Which was a surprise because it was around 7ish. We weren't quite sure what was all on the happy hour I don't think I ever saw a list. The Margs were delicious and the food was great too! The protions were big which is great, we don't mind left over Mexican for the next day. When we got the bill we were shocked how affordable it was. Anything under $60 for our family of 5 is a win. read more

Temp was cold inside. Food was adequate. Waiter did not explain food options properly.

I have been coming to El Mezon for over a year now and really enjoy the service and friendly staff. First off the chips and salsa are great. The drinks are really good as well. From the regular margarita to the jalapeño margarita you cannot go wrong. They definitely serve the best margarita in the area. My wife and I usually go for the molcajete and the Mexican guacamole. The steak alone could use some improvement but nothing to keep us from coming in. read more

This restaurant has excellent food This has become my favorite HAWAIANA MEXICANA Beef, chicken, bacon, shrimp, pineapple, onions, jalapeno pepper and cheese. Karen our server was excellent. The restaurant is always nice & clean. read more

My husband and I (and usually our kids) are pretty regular patrons of both the LSL and St. Peter's location. Food is always good, staff is always friendly. Husband is partial to the street tacos and I tend to lean towards the chicken tortilla soup, but we haven't had anything there that was bad. Prices are a little more than you average Mexican restaurant, but worth it. The only thing I can fault them for is there's been more than one occasion where the staff stalls out after they've cleared the plates and we've had to wait or flag down someone to get the check and there was one time (only takes one!) where I asked for some cilantro to top my soup and they charged over $2 for a small bowl....I could buy a whole plant for less than that! Neither will stop us from coming back, but beware the "garnish tax"! read more

Our go-to Mexican spot in St. Charles County. They have marg towers - what else do you need to know?

Gave them an online order EIGHT HOURS in advance for dinner pickup. So they instead make the order immediately. Then I call to tell them their mistake and they say oh yeah yeah we will have it ready correctly. Then they're still THIRTY MINUTES late! Never again. read more

The food was absolutely delicious! Ordering and pick up was extremely easy and the staff was very helpful. I would definitely recommend, you will definitely get your moneys worth! read more

Celebrated the wife's Birthday here Sunday. Great meal and service for everyone. The Wild berry Margaritas were a hit.

We went to El Mezon today with some of the family, and I was impressed with the entire experience. We had a group of seven and were seated appropriately and without a wait. The food was done and out with efficiency, the presentation was appealing and the taste was great! read more

Very Nice Restaurant, The food was exceptional as was the atmosphere ,The server was very attentive,The 3 people in our group agreed it's worth a repeat visit,A big step above your average Mexican eatery,Also the restrooms were very Nice !!.They do have a Bar which is a nice touch as I prefer a Club Soda/Seltzer with my Meals.Top notch Solid A rated !! read more

The food is okay. The service is bad. Our waitress seemed angry to be waiting on tables. Also, the male employees seemed happy and relaxed while the female employees seemed irritated. It created a strange dynamic. read more

I have to admit I was not a fan when they first opened. But after months of coming back, nine out of 10 meals have been perfect. I really love The tamales and street tacos. My wife and kids typically get quesadillas and burritos and they are all very well done. The staff is extremely friendly, parking is a little bit odd, but once you get past that and inside, the decor is beautiful. We really enjoy this place. read more

Great food, service and the ambiance is nice. I had not been to this restaurant before (O'fallon location) and upon arriving and seeing the parking lot so crowded I expected to wait at least 30 minutes. To my surprise it took less than 10 minutes to be seated. The margaritas were fantastic! read more
