They must have switched locations since I reviewed. 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.
I cannot get enough of this place!!! All of these unique finds! Not to mention El Rico Tacos inside of it! Already thinking about my next trip back!
As a former Arizona-girlie, not having a Filibertos around is kind of a buzzkill. But, my husband saw this spot on Instagram and it brought us here. They got carne asada fries here!!! The fries are golden brown and crispy, but airy inside. The steak quality is great and seasoned nicely. The serving side is BIG so be ready to eat. They have a salsa bar on the side, so we got red and green salsa, some cilantro, and lime. We also ordered steak tacos - also very good! Love the true authenticity here!
Love this place! Awesome bakery, taqueria and restaurant where you can buy birria, pastor etc.. very authentic Delicious
Talk about a trip to the grocery store! This place was a full experience! Bright colors and music blasting! It can be a sensory overload with sights, music, and smells. I suggest going on a Saturday or Sunday to try their in store buffet and taco bar as well as some samples and rotating vendors. The grocery store has fresh produce like tomatillos, plantains, sugar cane, yams, and peppers. In the back you can also get fresh made to order tortillas. The butcher selection is great but could be improved with other staples. The price per pound was excellent especially for chicken! The selection around the store is more focused on Mexican offerings but you can still find all your household staples across the aisles. There are items in english and Spanish if you are not fluent in either language. The restaurant is accessible for wheelchairs with a large parole lot and wide entrance. I did not see many automatic scooters to use, so ask a cashier if you need assistance. The music is very loud around the store so if that is a concern please plan your trip accordingly.
This place is so amazing. It's like a trip to Mexico right here in the St.Louis area. I love unfiltered cultural experiences, and this one basically DEFINES that term. First of all, it's ENORMOUS! The selection of produce, meats, freshly made tortillas, and pre-packaged Mexican and Central/South-American groceries has to be seen to be believed. Then, you add in a full food bar/taco bar with seating to eat in-store, and absolutely blasting music from every corner of the store(on a Saturday) and you have a sensory overload that rivals any walk down the street in Jalisco, Tijuana, or anywhere else. I cannot recommend this place highly enough. Please go there on a Saturday, have a taco or two, and shop the aisles full of things you've probably never seen before.
The taco stand is inside of the grocery store. Yes, come for the food. Also, stop through and buy groceries. The fries in the picture are amazing and I have everyone eating them. The service is cool, the people in the restaurant and the grocery store are nice and helpful. Don't go expecting ambiance though. It's a grocery store. There is also a hot food bar that I have never tried. I drink the hibiscus Agua Fresca and it's delicious. I have tried to get them to tell me what else is in it. No luck. I bought hibiscus and can't get mine to taste the same. Either way, the food is delicious and the store is great for things you saw on vacation that you can pick up locally. The only thing I feel the restaurant needs is a margarita. It would be perfect then.
This is definitely a place you need to try if you looking for Fresh Tacos, horchata, Agua Fresca, fresh pastries, and any of your grocery needs. It is fully stocked with fresh produce, seasonings, fresh seasoned meats, and more. I was recommended to come here by another Yelp Elite Squad member Steven B. During the welcome party back in January. He definitely hit the nail on the head with this one. I ordered carne asada and Carnitas tacos. Omg, the carnitas tacos were phenomenal. I got the mix carnitas (skin and all). The carnitas was tender, and well seasoned. The corn shells were soft. The carne asada was seasoned well, juicy and tender. There is a fresh cold bar with all of the toppings you need for your tacos. The fresh made salsas made the tacos even better. I also ordered a hibiscus agua fresca. It was sweet, but not too sweet, and oh so delicious. They have tables for you to enjoy your meal. I didn't get any pictures of my food, but believe me, they looked just as good as they tasted before i devoured them.
This was one heck of a supermarket! I saw this on social media and really wanted to go! First thing you see is the place is very well visited. All people from different walks of life were here, which was great to see. Upon entering you are greeted with the veggies section and the bulk bins where you can get all the dry things like beans and lentils in bulk! They were a great price and so I was really happy to stock up! Next that was the bakery section where they had tons of bread and pastries to pick! I picked up a few and all were super fresh and delicious! The meat counter was one of the most extensive I've seen in MO and they had a lot of marinated meats and other interesting cuts that aren't usually found in the normal supermarkets. The thing I thought was the coolest about this supermarket was the fresh tortilla making section where you could buy them freshly made! The other part I thought was great was the in-store restaurant where they were serving fresh made food! I got the horchata and a carne asada quesadilla! It was so good! The one main thing is that the restaurant isn't open everyday mostly only the Friday-Sunday.
Had a great lunch time experience and meal. The food was super fresh and full of flavor. I was offered samples of the frescas flavors and ending up with the strawberry, it was very refreshing. The service was great, very easy to order. Loved the salsa bar, that really topped off the experience. Was a great vibe!
As a yelp elite member, I always get asked about my favorite restaurants in St. Louis. I was struggling with coming up an answer because I needed to mentally compile all the good restaurants that I like. However, now I can give a quick answer to that question as El Morelia Super Mercado is that restaurant. This is a grocery store but their food court restaurant is so amazing. It has the best Birria tacos that I have ever had. I haven't tried too many Mexican restaurants in St Louis so don't take my word for it. However, the tacos here definitely taste just as good if not better than the ones I had in Texas or in Mexico. The only downside of this place is that they close too early around 7pm so timing is limited. However if you show up on the weekends, they have special items that are not offered on weekdays. In addition to the food court, I also like to shop at this grocery store. They have a wide variety of produce and household products which is very convenient. I can get my shopping done for the week while getting a good meal out of it. I highly recommend you guys checking this place out.
This Mexican grocery store/restaurant is one of my favorite places in North County, I often stop here to do some grocery shopping but more than that will stop for lunch. they have an excellent selection of tacos and burritos and they also have weekly specials that are a great deal that include food and a drink for $10, each day is a different entrée. The service is quick and they have a nice area with tables for you to sit and eat or you can get it to go.
This is one of my favorite spots to grab tacos! The service is always good and fast. Especially love that while the food cooks I can shop through the store. The tacos are always amazing, the loaded carne asada fries and the California burrito. Make sure to grab the red and green sauce to go on top of the food. They also have a toppings bar which is usually well stacked as well for the food.

Everything was amazing. Try the tacos they are packed and delicious. Dream come true for those far away from home. I got all my Puertorrican favorites read more
Easy food to order and take back home. They have a small section for seating. Waited a little bit for the food to be prepped but nice place to be at for the wait. Worth exploring the store while you're there, it's very big and lots to see! Gives of Mexican Costco vibes :D read more

Perfect one stop shop for all your culinary needs. This place is a gold mine! They have food, drinks, local and international groceries. The store I believe is Hispanic owned, I'd assume, and has lots of cultural finds to offer. They have a huge parking lot and are handicapped accessible. I think they were originally across the street but moved for a bigger location. I ordered tacos and drinks. The clerks were nice and welcoming. Food was ready in about 5-10 minutes. Birria tacos had a heavy tomato base, now what I'm used to but wasn't bad. I really liked the shells. the chicken taco was flavored just needed vegetables (which I assumed came on chicken taco, so clarify that for yourself). I will definitely be back to explore and see what lovely things I may find! Recommended! read more

My friend and I recently visited El Morelia Super Mercado and Rico's Tacos within there. He had not been in a while and I had not been ever so I was really pumped to see what it was about. I was told it would be loud with lively music throughout various aisles of the store, there would be a bakery, butcher and even a place where they make tortillas! We decided to eat first and shop last. While the line to Rico's was long, service was very efficient. The flavors of each agua fresca (fresh water) is designated by the sample fruit/ingredient laid in front of them. The server allowed us to sample as well. I sampled hibiscus and strawberry. While both were great, strawberry was AMAZING. I did not want to finish my drink and be sad so I definitely took my time consuming my drink. I ordered the quesabirria tacos which tasted so perfect. I am not sure what's traditional or not. I typically see onions and cilantro in the consume but did not see any in theirs which was fine because their salsa bar had pico de gallo so I just added some in there. My friend and I shared elote made with white corn. While the corn type was fine, the flavor profile was a bit salt and too spicy for my liking. He demolished the rest for the both of us. After being stuffed with food, we walked back to the front of the store, grabbed a rolling hand basket and basically went up and down each aisle. From avocados the size of grapefruits from the Dominican Republic to birria bombs and Mexican Coke, this place has literally EVERYTHING you need to make an authentic meal. I felt completely overwhelmed in a good way meaning the next time I visit, I will have a plan for meals so I can easily shop. The aisles are labeled overhead. They have a whole liquor aisle and even a pharmacy inside! I think I only made out with Mexican Coke, some cake from the panaderia and some other small items. I cannot wait to revisit! read more
My friend and I spent about 3 hours in here the first time we went. There are so many exciting foods, and the ideas were flowing! There is also a taco joint inside with amazing food, including street tacos, carne asada fries, enchiladas, aguas frescas, and more. We shopped, ate, and then shopped some more. I highly recommend if you're looking for special ingredients or just a day adventuring around the city. read more

Loved, loved, love El Morelia. We spend time browsing each aisle and picking up some of our favorite snacks + treats. We came around lunch time and order 6 tacos ( 2 carnitas, 2 asada, 2 chorizo), asada fries and 2 aguas frescas (coco/coconut and pineapple/piña) Food was delicious and the salsa /topping bar was a solid addition! Service was 10/10. The line was long but moved quickly and everything was being made to order. The ambiance was so good! So much to see and experience. We will be back for more food and snacks read more

Loved the Carne Asada fries! Get them! The birria tacos were just ok for me; too much meat. Definitely going back though. Nice little lunch spot inside a lovely Mexican grocery store. read more
This past Saturday was our first time going to this place since the store moved across the street. My first impression was wow, this is the biggest supermarket with huge selections of mexican food. It is way bigger than their previous location. There were quite a lot of food items, ranging from bakery, tacos, tamale, fruits, vegetables etc. I would definitely recommend to try freshly make tamale and tacos when you go here. This place was busy on Saturday. I would recommend to go here early and get in line for the tacos place first. Otherwise the line can get pretty long. There were several tablets to sit and eat inside the store but those tables filled up quickly especially at noon time when we were here. read more

I came here tonight to grab some dinner. The market is huge! It has merchandise, groceries, fresh bakery items and a restaurant and buffet. I ordered Tacos Birria and a watermelon Aguas frescas - total deliciousness. The tacos were full of meat and seasoned to perfection. My drink was just like drinking straight from a watermelon. Our food was cooked to order and came out fairly quick. There is a seating area if you decide to dine in. The next time you are deciding on what to eat, look no further. This is located in a growing strip mall with plenty of parking. read more
Hands down, the best Latino Mercado in all of St. Louis! I found a huge assortment of grocery items, fresh vegetables, dried chilis, fresh meat (including prepared and marinaded items ready for the grill), homemade tortillas, baked breads (including pan dulce), sauces, spices, piñatas, and so much more. Ate some tacos at Rico's tacos that's located indoors and it was very tasty. Birria taco and the adobada were the two best tacos of the four I tried. The spicy roja salsa is addictive (and available for sale!). I found fresh masa, lard, corn husks, and dried peppers. I am ready for some tamales! read more

I decided to browse the market and boy was i shocked. This place is well lit, spacious and very organized. Shelves are fully packed and veggies and fruits look fresh. Plenty of eateries in here to sit down and try. Music is vibing as you walk around. Plenty of specials and sales. Meat market is available as well. Pottery section, piñatas, bulk laundry detergents and cleaning products for purchase. Liquor, frozen section, grilling and appliance and home decor is here as well. Prices vary. Will definitely bring family back to check this establishment out. read more

Great place to go for fresh produce, freshly made tacos and tortillas. They have a huge selection of just about everything from cookware to a ton of different types of meats. Lots of interesting produce. Reminds me of the supermercado in Puerto Vallarta. It's lively there and lots of people there for the tacos. The line was really long so I'll go back another time. Fresh sliced mango for sale as you walk out the door. Straight down Lindbergh to St. Charles from Kirkwood. A fun place to go, friendly people and great music. read more

It's a good store to find all you could ever need to make any Mexican dish. The prices are a little high for certain items I think. $2.49 for a can of beans seemed a bit much, but other items were more reasonable, especially at the impressive looking meat counter. Staff at Rico's Tacos were great. Very friendly. The rest of the store was not so much on the way of helpful. I did have a decent lunch at Rico's. It wasn't great as the steak was pretty dry and some pieces were inedible, but my asada fries and birria tacos were good. I will definitely shop and eat here again. read more
Such an amazing place! Everything you would need to make your favorite Latino dish. Rico's Tacos was delicious! Fast service & authentic cuisine. Need a piñata? They've got a huge selection! We will definitely be going back. read more

The service here is 10/10 from the restaurant to the grocery register. The food is amazing, the best tacos I've had since living in STL. Worth the drive, worth the price. (My picture is how I put the toppings on my tacos) The Ambience is very welcoming and family oriented. The quality of the products at this store is great and authentic. Will be back the read more
