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

See all

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

Food and staff were fantastic. Burrito El Mezon is worth every penny. Margarita was made perfectly. gracious El Mezon

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

Met friends for dinner, spent combined $160.00 on dinner and drinks. While we were finishing our Margaritas and beer. The waiter Cesar told us we needed to leave as he did 3 other tables of guests. All in total "16" people were asked to leave. I'm sorry to say "Cesar" is a substandard server he would rather talk to the hostess than serve his customers salsa and chips, ice water, etc. since being invited to leave by Cesar and still having $45 in drinks to finish I approached Asst. Manager Karen and shared our concerns, She replied we have asked him repeatedly NOT to do that!!! I like the food, price, ambiance, etc. but I will not be disrespected like that ever and return. read more

El Mezon is a fantastic local Mexican Restaurant. The food is great and the decor is awesome! Service is very quick and seating is very fast despite how busy it gets!! read more

El Mezon - This is a great new Mexican Restaurant....MUCH better than the other LSL choice. - Mexican Near Me - O'Fallon, Missouri

Service continues to be a problem. An hour wait for our food after we ordered it. Spent 2 hours in there - this is not a one off. Food is preferred to other nearby Mexican restaurant Price is comparable read more

Wow! Don't hesitate to come here EVER. Better than I ever expected. The food was awesome, the salsa so fresh, margarita not that fake mixer crap jalapeño marg and top shelf perfect! But more importantly the service and experience were spot ON! So attentive and such attention to detail. This was our first visit and I guarantee we will be back ASAP. read more

This building is cool and sets a fun environment to eat and drink. The service was fine, nothing special but nothing bad either. The food was great. The Mexican guacamole is fantastic! The street tacos were tasty and a build yourself with the toppings which was nice for my picky date. Definitely recommend checking it out if in the area. read more

It is an okay place. Salsa was decent and meal was okay. If you are in the neighborhood do yourself a favor and go to El Maguey just down the street. Much better food. read more

Better than El Maguey in my opinion. The best Mexican food and best Margarita's hands-down. Pro Tip: Get Tajín instead of salt for your Margarita. The spice of the Tajín along with the sweetness of the drink is amazing. read more

It's not 100% authentic but it's forsure one of the better once's compared to El Maguey and chimis I would Nvr visit those establishments as I call them over price Taco Bell! Drinks are on point great selection I gave them 3 stars only because the food is not 100% authenticity.Mexican it's more of a Tex mex style I would forsure recommend this place! read more

I took my family of 5 to this restaurant for dinner. The food was excellent and the atmosphere very nice, but I am miffed because my credit card was overcharged by $2.00 for the tip. I gave a tip of $12.00, but my card was charged $14.00 for a total of $86.27. Deliberately overcharging is the same as stealing. I am not sure if this was done by Cesar, our waiter, or someone in accounting. For the 10 minutes, more or less, spent by our waiter at our table, $12.00 should be more than adequate compensation. The extra $2.00 is trivial, but I will NEVER patronize this establishment again because they seem to think they have the right to make tipping decisions for me. read more

Our 1st time here and the only reason I give this place a star was food was decent and drinks were good. Service was HORRIBLE!!!. We waited 35mins to get a server over to our table after we had to try and track him down 2x. Some drinks didn't get put in till after 2nd time we asked. Had repeat orders a couple times. 1/2 food came out we ordered. Then 3rd time when splitting check after we established who was who at beginning. There was long periods of not seeing our server and after finally getting food order in it took another 40min to get. Our we spent over $100 on 2 adults 2 kids and it was horrible experience on a Thursday. We heard good things about this place but we're really disappointed. read more

When the Yelp app suggests to me that if I like this place, I might also like Jack In The Box -or- KFC... it reminds me of how mediocre this restaurant was. I found the staff to be kind and attentive, unlike the other reviews, so I give them a little more credit here, but the Mexican food was nothing to write home about. The three item combo was a chille relleno, cheese enchilada, and a beef burrito. I missed that it was without beans and rice, unlike the other combos, but I didn't need the additional food. What I missed was the promise of authentic, as the store bought chips, average salsa, and the rest of the food, was supposed to deliver (according to the sign and menu). The beef burrito was ground beef, with nothing more.... Inside there was no sauce, rice, beans, or any kind of spice to identify this as any nationality. The cheese enchilada was a little better, but was lackluster. The chile relleno was the one shining moment, though the cheese was runny. The same red sauce was lightly poured over all of them, giving it all one common, yet underwhelming flavor. Still, it wasn't bad.... It just wasn't anything exciting, interesting, or more than simple sustenance. read more

Amazing! Every aspect of it. Food, service, ambiance were incredible. 10 out of 10 totally recommend!

Really good food! The fajitas, carnitas and burritos (we had the Mexicano with grilled chicken as well as the steak burrito) were all cooked to perfection and well seasoned. The service was good, even on a busy Saturday night. It's our new go-to Mexican restaurant! read more

So good! My whole family loves this place. The service is amazing and the food is outstanding! I get the specials! Best Mexican Food in the area! read more

Fantastic service, great decor, and delicious food. Highly recommend, especially in comparison to other local Mexican fare

The food is very well seasoned and taste great. The service is good. We enjoyed our food a great deal!

If you are thinking about eating at this restaurant, DON'T. I will spare you the details but just know this, they are rude, care nothing about time and the food is absolutely disgusting. I will speed up the next time I even pass by this restaurant. Cesar was our waiter horrible. read more

El Mezon - A julistico fajita and rice. Terrible quality of meat and vegetables overcooked. - Mexican Near Me - O'Fallon, Missouri

Overall a good location but I personally like the St. Peters location better. I feel like they take their time and really care about you and your experience there, compared to this location. read more

Take a look at the customers in the photo for this eatery. If you're not reflected, in the photo then skip this rude, ill-manner place. The food is okay with smaller portions if you're not in the photo. In essence, you are not welcomed - spend your money elsewhere. read more

Been to this location twice now.. Both times we were seated quickly and both times our server was great!! They were friendly and personable and made us feel welcome!! Food was awesome and the margaritas were delicious!! The restaurant itself was very pretty!! This is now our new fav spot for Mexican food!! read more

Service is excellent! Food is amazing! Margaritas are strong and top notch! Definitely recommend this place!

Worthy of more than five stars! We recently stumbled across this restaurant and have already been multiple times. The pineapple margarita is the BEST margarita I've ever had. Luis is welcoming and attentive to his customers and goes the extra mile. Everything we've had has been delicious, fresh, and well-portioned. We're big fans and will continue to go to this location. read more

Food is always good, always served fresh and quickly. Staff is always pleasant. While it gets busy quick, it's always worth the wait!

This place slaps Location, Location, Location right in the face! It is NOT in an ideal location and yet there is always a bunch of people there. Why? The food is good and the staff is friendly. Every time. Get the lengua verde--it is outstanding! read more

Delicious our families go to for Mexican food once a week. Excellent customer service, fun and warm environment! Totally recommend.

First time trying this newer restaurant. We went at 4 o'clock Saturday and we were seated immediately, saw our server immediately and had our drinks in less than 10 minutes along with complimentary chips and salsa. The food was good not great more or less typical Mexican fare. The restaurant is big and the ceiling are very high causing an echoing effect, do not think quiet romantic dinner. Our server was nice and everything was clean, I did not visit the restroom. When we left at 5 o'clock there were many people coming in and being seated immediately. My guess is that the restaurant was going to get progressively busier however there was an abundance of staff when we left. read more

The food is great every time and the service is great too Just the best Will return over and over

We ordered take out for our dinner on 1-14-2022. My wife ordered a pick 3, which was correct. I ordered Fajita Jalisco. The fajitas where very wet with the chicken, beef, shrimp and vegetables. They were all barely cooked and none were browned. I feel all was under cooked. To top it off, the restaurant neglect to give me any tortillas, rice, pico or refried beans. We have dined in the restaurant several times without any issues. We will not do take -out again. Very disappointed. read more

El Mezon is a family favorite! This location has a very cool atmosphere and art! We love the burrito el mezon and street tacos. Highly recommend if you're looking for great Mexican food and amazing staff! read more

This place was fantastic and so was our server Johnathon. We had an appetizer (queso dip with chorizo and bean dip) which was awesome. I had the molcajete and it was delicious! My wife had the chimichanga and she said she can't wait to come back. read more

We have been here numerous times. The salsa is great. The food tastes great and unlike other Mexican restaurants the majority of the dishes taste different. The atmosphere inside is also great. I would recommend this. read more

Best Mexican food west of the Mississippi. Salsa is fire. Tamales on point as well as the burritos

Dined with a party of five. One meal of five was satisfactory. Chicken tacos were dry stringy and tough. Shredded beef enchilada was chopped meat tough and tasteless. Big disappointment. read more

Love, love, love the food and service. The location at Lake St Louis is much bigger and seat so many more people. We have never had to wait. Friendly service and great food every time read more
