    Enchilada Supreme- actually quite basic
    Tony

    The worst enchiladas i have ever eaten. The enchilada sauce looks and taste like it came right out of a jar. The salsa has nothing going on, no chunks of tomatoes, no spice or any kick at all. The chips seem over fried. as soon as chips and salsa came to the table, we should've left because I could see there was no pride in their salsa. I Judge, good Mexican restaurant by their salsa and the guacamole and based on the effort they put into their salsa, I would not order the guacamole. The enchiladas look like a tortilla when I put it between two wet paper towels in the microwave - how it gets over moist and limp. I asked what these tortillas look like wet tortillas rolled with some ground beef with little flavor or chicken or cheese and bean lazily rolled with a scoop of sauce and a over large portion of sour cream. and that's it. There was a jalapeno peper in the chicken ench but I will never come back. The only reason this got is two stat is because the margarita and the service was good. It seemed like the waiter even knew better than to ask how eveeything was because it would not have been a good response.

    First time here and was absolutely amazed by how clean and well decorated/ maintained this restaurant is . The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly and they are kid friendly, have a full bar and lunch specials. The chips were warm and crisp served with a tasty salsa. I had the Choripoillo a nicely seasoned chicken breast covered with cheese, chorizo and grilled vegetables plus with a side of rice and beans) absolutely delicious and I'll get it again) Husband had Chicken and a grilled spicy shrimp smothered in cheese and onions with rice and beans. This place is a definite stop of you are in the area/

    Street Tacos
    Kylie H.

    Love this place! It's our favorite salsa in town and the food is fresh, hot, and delicious! Just look at this!! The staff is always working hard and talking with customers. You'll never run out of chips Plus, the entire place feels so warm and inviting. It makes you want a margarita real bad (which are great too!)

    Great food - loved the queso! The tableside guac was delicious and the portion size was good for a few people to enjoy.

    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.

    El Mezon Taco truck version!
    Teddy M.

    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!

    Spicy margarita medium sized (it's enormous)
    Monica M.

    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

    **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.

    Carne Asada. The meat is smothered in onions. Maybe not the best you'll ever eat but, the overall affect with the meal is duperby
    Tom T.

    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.

    Burrito verde with Chicken
    Joshua D.

    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.

    Cheesy rice with added steak
    Julie S.

    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.

    Taco enchilada combo plate
    Ali P.

    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!

When you enter there's a seating area of booths to the left. If you continue further there's another little space of seats, a full L shaped bar, and more seating in the bar area as well as an outside patio with seating. I definitely recommend coming before dinner time. If you come for dinner be prepared to wait. If you want to eat here with a large party I recommend asking about a reservation otherwise I'd advise against due to how busy it gets! I'm not a fav of the chips & salsa as the salsa isn't flavorful or chunky enough to me. For those like myself who prefer spice & more flavor I recommend getting their salsa picante & mixing the 2, so much better! Their margaritas are good, I prefer the blood orange vest but they have a large selection of marg flavors and a full bar. For food I've had the nachos, tamales, enchiladas (I recommend the enchiladas de pollo verdes), tacos, and chimichanga. I got my parents hooked on the tamales! I love that they serve them as not a lot of Mexican restaurants do here & I love that they put meat both inside and on top of them. The establishment is always clean, the staff is always friendly & welcoming, and you can tell theirs homemade recipes coming out of the kitchen. I recommend ending your meal with the churros! Overall their price point, staff efficiency, and the consistency with the food makes this the best Mexican restaurant I've had in the area which is why I keep coming back & would bring guests here.

However, an incident happened recently that has now complicated my love for them. I ordered two burritos for delivery recently and one ended up being wrong. It was supposed to be a Burrito Americano with shredded chicken, something I've had before. What came had ground beef and no red sauce, so I figured it was an entirely different burrito and called to let them know mine might have been swapped with someone else's. I understood that there was a good chance it wasn't getting replaced because I couldn't drive up to get another one, and yes that ended up being the case, but what got me was the guy on the phone said "oh sorry, on our tablets where we receive orders, we couldn't see that you made a meat selection so we just chose one." I confirmed that wasn't the case on my end. So one, that's crazy. Two, we've ordered from them before and that hasn't been a problem. Three, if that's true, how am I supposed to trust that I'll ever get what I ordered? So I don't know if they're not taking responsibility for their mix up for if they have a new system that's going to cause a lot of issues. But either way, I'm not thrilled and I'm probably done with them.
