I asked the waiter if they had a fish specialty or a bone-in fish and he said yes and pointed at something on the menu and I said "bone in? He said yas.. i said "okay" this is what came out definitely not bone in, definitely not a specialty, definitely NOT a filling dinner...... Wifey had the Fajitas Carretas, which is her norm at ALL Mexican restaurants..... and what she got was half the size of all other Mexican restaurants, guessnits the location. Higher class clientele, higher prices, lower portions. I forgot what taco trio our gueat had but it was equally some food truck street taco plate. No joke our dinner felt like what shoulda been a lunch meal for a dieter. I wish i could say something nice about yheplace, like the drinks were on point, or service top notch, but we don't drink outside of home and well the language barrier was huge here. Decore & Paintings on the wall were nice. Sadly a one and done for this family.

I wasn't super hungry so we got chips and salsa and guacamole to share and my friend got the chicken fajita. The salsa comes with two different salsa options, both were a bit spicy. The guacamole was classic and came out with a cute serving spoon. They had lots of food options but it's a bit more expensive than most Mexican spots in the city. I think my friend was a little disappointed that there was an up charge to add vegetables to her fajita and the portion wasn't as big as she thought it might for a $20 plate, but it tasted good. Super nice service and cute on the inside. They have a back patio that's very big and heated. Street parking.

The music in the background and terracotta designs highlighted the threads of Mexican culture but made the Homer statue appear to be a little out of place! Definitely a fun dining experience. The outdoor seating felt super spacious. It was a beautiful day and temperate weather to be able eat outside. It did have numerous umbrellas and a covered portion which kept most of the seating shaded. The service was friendly and attentive. The food was good. I was a little disappointed with the bread used for the Torta. I was expecting a bolillo type bread where it the outside is a crisp crust but the inside is airy, chewy and sweet. Instead it was a Telera Bread that was like a very crumbly messy french roll. The pieces of chicken were very thin and cut into strips instead of one patty. It was very dry and not much flavor. The fries were potato-y but not seasoned or salty. Very bland. The aroma of all the food was phenomenal. But tasting the flavors and eating the dishes didn't quite live up to the hype of my super smeller.

Upon walking in, well lit , spacious and plenty of colors . Very cosmic theme and alot of conversation pieces . I really enjoyed browsing around and taking in the designs. Kudos to my friend for recommending this hidden gem . Seating was plentiful. Staff were friendly and service was speedy and hot. I ordered a banana /papaya margarita on the rocks. Strong and delicious! I ordered the arroz con with shrimp. My mom ordered the parilada and my sister a steak fajita. All dishes were hot , plentiful and fulfilling. Prices were reasonable.

The service was attentive and the food came fast. This restraunt checks all the boxes for me. It is moderately priced but understandably so. For a negative, I thought the sandwich was a little dry, perhaps adding some more pastor would make it more juicy. I did have some birria sauce on the table which helped but masked the pastor flavor. Also the avocado was also all placed on one side and on the first bite so I spread those out more evenly. I left feeling very satisfied!

We stuck to fish tacos since it was a Friday during lent, but they did not disappoint. The margaritas & mad dog were very good as well and I would highly recommend! I like the idea of the QR codes to order at the tables. It felt like it made the process a bit faster, but it was still a hospitable environment. Everyone was very friendly and we felt taken care of.

The Cadillac marg is my fav but I don't think any of the margs are bad. It's one of my favorites in St. Louis! I've had a few different entrees but love the carne asada and chorizo tacos. Recently had the choriqueso too which was insanely good. Plus, free chips and salsa (in individual serving dishes!) which not everyone does anymore and the salsa is fantastic!

First off the waiters were nice, great and always making sure we were doing well, and helping us with our refills. Very super nice, they made the experience well worth. For the food, the appetizers were very good, especially the Fiesta Platter. The chicken wings served was well seasoned and the quesadillas were a standout for me. Definitely a must if you have a crowd of 2-4 people who are hungry! The Carne Asada they gave out was HUGE. We loved it, and it was seasoned well, would definitely order that again whenever I visit. The Fajita Burrito was huge as well, stuffed with steak, rice and more cheese, it was a delicious and flavorful fight to go against when taking that burrito on. The fajitas sizzling at the bottom was really good too, great to get the vegetables in! As for the area, the place looked nice, giving a traditional late night vibe that makes you feel welcomed when entering in. Would come back! Loved everything about it.
