    I got to try out their food the other day at my friend's birthday party and I liked it so much, I came back two days later! I got there around 11:30 and there were only a few people. After I looked at the menu, I decided to get 1 chicken and 1 steak taco. I think I waited all of five minutes and my food was brought out to me. I loved the chicken taco the other day when I first had it today, and today was no different. The chicken was perfectly seasoned and I loved that the portions were plentiful. The steak taco was pretty good but didn't wow me. I opted not to get any chips and guacamole but the ones I had at my friend's party were delicious! The restaurant is spacious and the menu offers a plethora of options. I'll admit this is a bit of a drive but if I'm in the area, I'll def stop by.

    Hadn't eaten here in quite some time. I always say I loved it more when it was just a hut. We sat inside because it was a hot day. I ordered 2 chicken tamales with beans and rice and guac and chips. Everything was missing flavor. How could this be with Mexican food? I grabbed salt and limes to help the guac. It tasted like smashed avocados. It was fresh. The beans and rice lacked flavor. The tamales were so bland. The masa was completely flavorless. Again, how is this possible?! Needless to say I ate it because I paid for it. The guac was fire after I spruced it up. PLEASE bring back the flavorful food you all used to sell!

    Got street tacos and burrito. tacos had a lot of meat filling! The burrito with asada was good. Lots of rice filling and it came with chips. The pickled green beans were so spicy but tolerable. Had an outside patio and fast service too

    One of my go to places on Cherokee Street. You order your food and receive a text when it is ready. There is a large patio. Guacamole - recommended There are multiple options for children. I enjoyed the Torta and quesadilla on two separate occasions. My experience has been that the food shines above meeting expectations. If you are in the neighborhood, then I would suggest you stop by.

    We stopped by La Vallesana right when they opened on a Sunday. Parking is street only, but is relatively easy to find. The restaurant is essentially self-serve-- you order at the counter, provide a phone number, and they text you to grab it when your food is ready on a tray. They have outdoor and indoor seating as well. We love the tacos and the burritos here! I particularly enjoy the wide variety of meats they have and everything is very flavorful (especially with the flavored rice in the burritos). The red salsa was a bit too smoky for us, but we enjoyed the freshness of the green salsa. They recently raised their prices but everything is still relatively affordable ($3.25 per taco, $10 per burrito). You can also order online and pickup from their website. Only downside is they don't provide you with water, so either bring a water bottle or be prepared to go thirsty if you don't want to purchase a drink!

    Nice spot on Cherokee, staff was friendly when ordering and picking up food. Loved getting to order food and sit on the patio. The tacos were so good and the corn loved the soda also! Only spot I go in Cherokee check it out next time !

    Went on Labor Day. Sat outside. No waiters. You order your food at the counter and then go get it when it's ready. The chips and salsa are not free but this place is not TexMex, it's authentic Mexican. They have some of the best tacos we've ever had. The Margaritas were phenomenal too. No salt, no cute glass, no lime but they were amazing. Only negative is the salsa isn't great. Chips were good though. We'll be back.

    If you're looking for some great margaritas and authentic Mexican food- you just found it. We sat outside and ordered a couple of margaritas, chips, salsa, queso and quesadillas and were wowed by the food. Everything had a little kick to it but wow the flavor was amazing. The outdoor area is the spot to be at, but you will have to order inside first.

    Torta de cabeza

    I visited La Vallesana on a Friday night. Before the pandemic, this used to be one of my favorite Mexican restaurants in St. Louis. However, the pandemic understandably forced many businesses to change up their model, and la Vallesana just isn't what it was before. The food here isn't bad. However, it is nothing to rave about, and the prices are a bit higher than you would get at nearby Mexican restaurants. I ordered a torta de cabeza, which was relatively small and the bread was a bit dry. You can get a much better and cheaper torta across the street at El Torito or Latinoamericana. It is also pricey considering that post-pandemic, La Vallesana has moved to a bit of a self-service model. You order at the counter, and you get a text when you can pick up your food. You're paying a lot for very little food and service. They do carry house-made ice cream and popsicles, which are delicious! I especially like the pistachio ice cream from Vallesana. All things considered, there are much better Mexican restaurants on Cherokee for the price.

    One side of the menu, ice cream looked so good!

    Food: This is by far the most authentic Mexican I have had in St. Louis. I went to Mexico twice last year and this is even more authentic than I got in Cancun the second time I went. I got a spicy a spicy shrimp burrito with fries! The salsa both red and green is to die for too! Service: You order at the front and then go get your food when they text you. The lady working was nice and the business had a family-run feel which made the service even better. Ambiance: I alluded to this earlier but this is about authentic as it comes! Took me right back to the countryside of Mexican. Plenty of seating, a bar with a lot of drinks, ice cream, and plenty of seating. You can't bet this place. Also bonus points for the Mexican grocery store being right there and getting some sweet bread afterwords, definitely recommend it!

    The food is amazing! My family and friends love this place as well. We go about once or twice a month! The service is phenomenal and it's a casual location. They have drinks where you can add a shot in it, they also have desserts and paletas. There's also a kids menu.

This was the closest spot on the way to the airbnb so this was the choice. I do like the name too... have you been naughty or nice? It seemed their main draw was whether you want 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 scoops. The scoops were huge and they seemed reasonably priced. I can't remember exactly but the prices were something like 1 scoop(5 dollars), 2 scoops (8 dollars), 3 (10 dollars), all the way up to 5 scoops (15 dollars). Definitely more reasonable the more scoops you order. Maybe the 5 scoops are for naughty people and naughty people deserve the multi-scoop discount too. Anyway, I went with 2 scoops (Biscoff and Midnight Pleasures(dark chocolate ice cream). I couldn't resist adding honey whipped cream and cherries. Got it all in a waffle bowl. Biscoff - Delicious ice cream. Midnight Pleasures - I love dark chocolate. I prefer it. Not sure how I feel about this ice cream flavor. It was very rich and almost tasted dry(which is odd since it's ice cream). It tasted fine but I doubt I'd go to this flavor again. Honey whipped cream - I'm not sure I've ever had honey whipped cream and now I crave it. It's very specific but when you get that surge of honey... drool. Cherries - Juicy and delicious. Perfect for my bowl. We wanted to go back before we left town but got busy and weren't able to. The standout is definitely that whipped cream. I think it's a must-add for any of their ice cream flavors.

They're pretty bold and a little more creative. There is a slight coconut undertone which I don't mind and a lighter texture but doesn't take away from the experience! Service was pretty quick, it wasn't busy when we stopped by. This location is bigger compared to the other ones so there's plenty of seats.

Unfortunately, when I came in on my lunch break, they didn't have any out. When I asked, I was told they only had mango and to come back Saturday for more. I explained that I don't live nearby, which is why I called ahead. They gave me two mango pastries from the back, but they seemed to have come straight from the freezer or fridge they were extremely hard and difficult to eat. The flavor itself (coconut-infused white chocolate with a subtle mango) was okay, but the texture made it disappointing. If you live nearby, I'd suggest pre-ordering to make sure you actually get what you came for. If you're driving a distance, I wouldn't rely on calling ahead since I was told they "always have plenty," but that wasn't the case. On top of that, their AC was out, so the door was open with a large fan going, and there were flies inside. The decor is nice at first glance, but the suede couches were stained and not very appealing to sit on.

The step-less entry into the parlor has the offerings displayed largely on the main wall so you can see what flavors are available. The best flavor of the spring is the goat cheese and red cherry. A now discontinued specialty flavor, salted caramel, is the best so if you see those bright orange pints - buy one for me! The prices have gotten a little higher over the years but for specialty flavors and proper proportions, it can be justified if you are in the mood for a sweet treat. Plus that smell of freshly made waffle cones and bowls makes it all worth it. The service is also top-tier. The servers never seem to be annoyed with how many flavors I ask to sample and with every sample they describe the texture and flavor profile of the ice cream. There is a restroom inside the parlor, but you need a code from the servers to get in as it is more of a public space. It is wide enough for a wheelchair, but you may require assistance as the door is a little heavier.
