    A family friendly authentic Mexican restaurant !! The service was amazing and the food even better. Nice huge portions of goodness. Will definitely be my go to when I want a good burrito!

    Al pastor burrito

    Brush up on your "espanol" if you're coming to eat here! We lucked out and had a translator eating with us. They did however have one English speaking waitress who was very kind and fluent in both languages so no worries if you don't have your own on hand... We went in for lunch around 12pm and there were about 7 other occupied tables there as well. We walked in and were greeted (the normal thing a hostess would ask) in Spanish and I gave her a clueless look. So I turned to our Spanish speaking friend and he took over from there... they have music playing just loud enough to where you have speak with a smidge louder tone to be heard. The place isn't the biggest or nicest but the food is good and extremely fast. Could be because we ordered street tacos and a burrito but regardless it came out in less than 5mins of ordering. I don't recommend the Al pastor burrito as it was just too mushy and ended up coming apart. The Al pastor itself was delicious though! The general consensus at the table was we'd recommend this place and will likely be back if in the area again.

    Excellent service. Burritos are a little bit of a let down. Had eaten here twice but was not blown away like other places such as Durangos on Page ave. The free chips and salsa for me was it's saving grace. The place is on the small side so take out would be the better option. Plenty of parking.

    Don't let the name deceive you. It's a Mexican restaurant. When I asked my Mexican friend, where you take your family often for good Mexican food and I'm not looking for a fine dine. I need authentic food. He recommended this restaurant. As soon as, we entered and before even we settled. The server surprised us with complementary tortilla chips and salsas. Server is kind enough to get me a tomatillo salsa (green one) . Not only that, she stayed on top of refill. We are overwhelmed. We had below items Chicken fajitas: Ample quantity. Felt like chicken is little dry. Different from familiar sizzlers if you compare with other Mexican restaurants. Burger with fires: Nothing special. Typical as the name says. I know, not me. My that picky friend. Street tacos : Chicken , beef and Al pastor. Yum and cooked perfectly. Sope: traditional Mexican dish. Fried masa base with toppings. I've to to honest. With my minimal Spanish understanding I thought it is SOPA(soup). Seems like I scored a A in my Spanish test . SOPE is different. Anyways I like it. Came with chicken , cheese and lettuce toppings. Nice ambience as well. It's a shopping complex. So no issues with parking.

    Ok, love this place....wait I can take my kids for eggs and pancakes while I get Carnitas/Chorizo in a breakfast burrito...full stop, this is the bomb.

    In a random breakfast craving, my partner and I decided to go King Burrito. I heard about it on someone else's review of it. It's one of those places where you can sit yourself so we sat ourselves at a booth and glanced at the menu. She ordered a breakfast platter and I got the California burrito. Wanted to get a basic meal before we dive into the other options. My burrito was a good size, I loved the tortilla used, and the price was reasonable. I would recommend it. I have to try the lunch/dinner options. (Also, they had a seasonal Mexican chocolate drink i didn't get to try, but next time...I will)

    Tres Leches
    Lisa O.

    My Dad and I always come here for breakfast or brunch because we love their food, and I highly recommend their steak quesadilla and strawberry aqua Fresca. The restaurant had beautiful holiday decorations, and as a bonus, they gave us a complimentary sample of their pineapple Agua Fresca. The service is always excellent, and Dad orders their filling breakfast burritos or omelets. I also treated myself to a tres leches and took that home to enjoy later.

    Carne Asada
    Michelle L.

    I had heard of King Burrito but had never been before. It's a dive in an old strip center at Midland and Lindbergh. My dinner date was hyping their tamales so in we went. Turns out tamales are a winter special and they didn't have any. Sad face! We regrouped. I got the Carne Asada and my dinner date ordered an assortment of tacos. The food was good. The service was spotty. There are 2 other really popular Mexican restaurants in this area that have meat markets attached and I'd probably choose one of them over this one but it's certainly worth a stop if you're in the neighborhood.

    We went to KB on a Monday evening, about 6pm. The place was busy but there were a few tables available. The service was a little slow but Litzy, our server, was busy so we didn't fault anyone for that. The place is very nice looking and judging by the clientele it promised to be very good and authentic. It didn't disappoint. We got our drinks and ordered right away. The menu was nice and mostly labeled in spanish which I also took as a good sign. I ordered the mixed fajita and my tablemate ordered beef tacos. The fajitas were amazing, the vegetables seared perfectly as was the beef, chicken, and shrimp. The tortillas might even be restaurant-made. If not then I need to find where they buy them, I've never had such great ones before. The mixed fajitas are well recommended. The side of rice was also very good and the refried beans. The vegetables and sour cream that come on the plate were very fresh. The tacos were stuffed full. There were three to an order. Also very good and recommended. The bill came up to $26! That was for mixed fajitas (three proteins!) plus sides, an order of three tacos and two diet cokes. We were amazed - we've had a lot worse food for a lot more money. Through our entire meal there was a steady line of people getting take out. Very popular and we can certainly understand why. We will definitely be back again when we're in the area. This restaurant did not disappoint.

    King Burrito platter. A lot of food for a good price!

    First time visiting. We were on the search for breakfast and King Burrito was recommended via Yelp. Small and quaint. Easy access located off Lindbergh. Self seating - this confused me a bit as there was no sign indicating. But the food was good and the service was quick. I ordered the traditional KB platter and my partner ordered the California burrito. A lot of food for less than $25!

    Flan!
    Megan E.

    My husband has been telling me about his work lunches at King Burrito, and I am always up for Mexican, so we finally got there. It's a small spot, warm and friendly, and there are clearly regulars, which is always a good sign for me. I had a burrito that was huge and a little surprising. It was warm but had lettuce and sour cream inside. Just a temperature surprise. Also the cheese was American cheese, which, while unexpected, was very good! My spouse had a monstrous and delicious torta. We decided to take home half of our food so we could get the flan. It was caramelly and delicious. The staff was quick, friendly, and efficient. I would recommend a visit.

    Chips and Salsa

    Mexican food at its best. Chilaquiles topped with Green Chile Verde, Egg and Beans with a bit of Queso Freso is my quick fix breakfast choice. Great food. Reasonable pricing, free parking, and plenty of room to kick back and relax. Best of the Best. Enjoy! AW

    Sometimes it's good sometimes it's bad. I guess it depends on the cook. I've never been to the location but I've order from a 3rd party.

    Great customer service and good ambiance…read more Blueberry cheesecake - so good! Save room for this! I liked that it wasn't overly dense. Pork osso bucco- highly recommend. We don't like goat cheese so they were able to sub out the goat cheese polenta with cheesy grits. The cheesy grits were so good!! Bistro steak - good but it's not a must have for me. It came with asparagus that was tasty and potato pave. The potato pave was crispy but soft on the inside. For an appetizer we had the Spätzle dish featuring Emmenthaler fondue, nutmeg, and gremolata. It's almost like a Mac and cheese. It had Microgreens and nuts in it. The combination worked so well. It was unique and delicious. A great place to celebrate a birthday or anniversary.

I got an NA elderberry lemonade spritzer that was delicious and refreshing. I ordered the shrimp and grits (they were soooo good, buttery, rich, and flavorful) and a side of potato wedges to share. The potato wedges are GF!!! The one and only downside to the grits was that they stopped being creamy and was more polenta-cakey only a few minutes after it got to the table, but honestly, did not mind at all. The dining room is eclectic, like visiting someone's Spanish villa's reading room. Really enjoyed it and will be back to try other dishes!

    Upon being seated at the Crow's Nest yesterday, we were informed that the deep fryer wasn't working…read moreand that, because we were a group of more than eight, we would not be allowed to split our checks and would be charged an automatic gratuity. Not only were we not granted an exception on the checks as consolation for not being able to order french fries, there was no indication that this had even occurred to our server. This is precisely the level of temerity we need to inculcate in young women in our society, and I'd encourage her to apply for a job at the women's-only sports bar a few doors down if and when it ever opens. It'd be tragic if she wasn't there if and when I return, but I'd appreciate the fact that she has a greater mission. Hopefully, the deep fryer is working. It being out of commission naturally limited the number of things on the menu we could order. We were only told that we couldn't order anything that required a deep fryer, not given a modified menu or anything. I started going through each item and imagining how it might be prepared, but I couldn't muster the psychological bandwidth to continue. Hit my Cash App if you appreciate the amount of unpaid emotional labor I was compelled to contribute. It occurred to me that I might just get a burger and a side salad, but then I saw that they carry a club sandwich. I love a good club sandwich, and I figured it might make for a light, refreshing alternative, given the weather. There's an option to get a cup of soup for $1.50 extra as a side with your sandwich (no, they didn't offer to eat the charge), and I figured that might go well with my sandwich. I was kicking myself when they brought out someone else's order with the side salad. It looked really good. The Frisco Burger, or whatever they're calling it, looked good too. Meanwhile, the BBQ Beef & Cheddar Soup--the soup du jour (that's French), according to Flo--looked gross, like something your dog might cough up. But damn it was good! It was more beef than anything else. A large bowl of it might actually be too much food. (I'd still eat it, natch.) The overall flavor profile was along the lines of a good french onion soup. It was a reminder that I need to be ordering soup in restaurants more often. I wish the club sandwich was cut into little triangles and fanned out on the plate in some elaborate configuration, like at a place where rich old ladies have lunch, but I guess that wouldn't have been in keeping with the theme. Instead, it was served on the world's thickest Texas toast, with the world's dullest steak knife protruding from its center. This sounds like hyperbole, but I may have honestly been served the equivalent of half a loaf of bread. It was much more bread than I required, but at least it was fresh and delicious, as were all the other ingredients. Turkey used for sandwiches is almost never remarkable, but this was surprisingly great, as good as anything you'd get served as an entree unto itself. Nothing about this place suggests that it would have such good food, but it just goes to show you can't judge a book by its cover. The decor, the overall vibe and the lack of hospitality might not be for everyone, but don't let that deter you.

    Songbird is the Dolly Parton of St. Louis breakfast: bigger stage, brighter lights, same voice…read more I've followed this operation since it was a sandwich pop-up at the Tower Grove Farmers' Market, through the brick-and-mortar in The Grove, and now into its larger home in Tower Grove South. The quality has not wavered once. I ordered what I always order: The Combo (fried eggs, maplewood smoked bacon, cheese, brioche toast), extra egg, extra bacon. Most kitchens treat a fried egg as binary (runny or ruined). Songbird has mastered the middle register: lacy edges with a yolk that stays glossy and intact right up until the first bite. I ordered them over hard, and they came out a bit closer to over medium, but they were just as good as I wanted them to be. The bacon carries real smoke. This is a decadent sandwich, big enough that half of it would make a light breakfast; I wasn't remotely hungry after one, the second half was indulgent. The service made the move too. The hostess still recognizes returning customers, and the bigger room finally lets the dining experience breathe. The service at the table could have been a little warmer as we've had it the past, but it is still professional. I was there with two close college buddies, one of whom declared his latte excellent. I keep meaning to get adventurous with the menu, but it is genuinely hard to find a bacon, egg, and cheese toasted this perfectly, and I'd go twice in one day if given the opportunity. 4.8 A full five arrives the day when I can arrive first thing on a Saturday without a 30 minute wait, honestly, it's hard to get a reservation here because of its popularity. Good for them. Cheers to you, Songbird. Dolly would be proud

    *Not accessible *Not kid friendly…read more This location has a lot of improvements to be made. The menu is bland and they deter you from making modifications. I wanted my toast's jam to be on the side and they said no. It was a thick tasteless brick without the jam. The items are not as traditional for a breakfast spot, and when I asked the server what they were known for she said the drinks.... They also run a tight turnaround time so they will make you feel uncomfortable when its time to clear your table and pay the bill because they will tell you the next reservation is in 5minutes. The plates were all different and my guest who got a sandwich had her food come out in a plastic fry basket instead of the nicer plates. Odd. As I mentioned earlier, they are not kid friendly as they don't have a kids menu or kid friendly items like fruit and pancakes. We ordered a side of avocado and chicken sausage as those were the safest for us. Also there are no changing tables in the restrooms. Accessibility note: the entrance is a giant multi-slope and 1 turn ramp into a cramped lobby. The men's restroom is the only one on the main floor and female restroom is tucked far in the backroom inaccessible due to a steep step in the back. It is not wheelchair or walker friendly.
