    This is the " Oaxacan Firing Squad" but also had the "Cowardly Lion's Tail" both were GREAT!
    Kari K.

    It's good to be back! It's been awhile but still love the bar service and the variety of tacos. (...wish the tacos were bigger for the same price - about 3 bites) Good beer selections and love the margaritas too. My favorite is their chips and guac with side of mild salsa. I could eat that alone for a meal. Bartender makes me a drink that's no longer on the menu and it makes me feel like home. Parking can be tough depending on the time of day. Try it!

    The OG Brisket Birria taco was soooooooo good. I love a spicy margarita, their set my soul on fire. My daughter enjoyed her kids taco and side of fries. Service was fast. It wasn't very busy on a Sunday evening. My daughter talked about all the art on the walls and was very entertained.

    Vegan soft tacos

    This review is actually for Session Taco at Busch stadium. Best vegan option in the park. I get the vegan soft tacos which are delicious. Usually no wait after you order . Food is prepared, but hot and fresh. Friendly service. A little pricey but what isn't at the ballpark!

    I am visiting family in St. Louis and we decided to go into Mission Taco (now Session Taco) because we had a coupon! She had been there before, but I have not. It's street parking and it can be a bit hard to find if it's crowded. There was a sign when we walked in to seat ourselves. Although it wasn't packed the restaurant was still really loud. Our server came over but it took us quite awhile to get waters. We decided to start with the dip trio- which is the salsa, queso and guacamole. They do charge for chips and salsa here, which is kind of a bummer. The guac was fairly standard- good but nothing special. The salsa was decent- it was pretty spicy. The queso was just okay- it reminded me of Velveeta cheese. It was not really warm when it came out so it became pretty solid and hard to dip in. For the entrees I got 3 tacos (regular ground beef, the lobster and the carnitas). I picked these options as it looked like on the menu they weren't spicy. I should have asked the server because they were spicy aside for the lobster one. The lobster and carnitas were my favorite- although the carnitas was too hot for me. I really disliked the regular ground beef one it had a strong smoky spicy flavor. I also got the street corn, which was just okay. The person I went with got the shredded beef bowl. It was also just okay. I wouldn't go out of my way to come back here. If I did I would ask questions and be more specific with the things I would or wouldn't get. Overall experience 2/5.

    After an evening full of libations and dancing the night away (Jammin at the zoo), our group decided to get some much needed fuel at Mission Taco. Despite us being a group of 10 and arriving around 9:45, they were able to get us seated. After immediately being sat, the server came and gave us water. Shortly after, he came and took our drink and food order. Since I rarely ever eat after 7, i asked if I could get something off the kids menu (small and light), and he let me! I got the kids chicken burrito, which comes with chicken and cheese. Rather than get the rice on the side, he let me put it in the burrito, and I chose the fries for my side. The burrito was the perfect size, and if allowed, I'd totally order again. The chicken didn't have much seasoning, but the rice and cheese made up for it. As for the fries, mine were the only ones that weren't seasoned. While that was a bummer, at least they were well done! Our server did a great job keeping our large party hydrated, as well as providing amazing service. If I'm in the area, I'll def. be back,

    Carne Asada Taco Portobello

    Great tasting food and drinks even with the rebranding. The service was great and waiter was attentive and had great recs. It was during the day so it was nice setup with the garage door up. Still a fan of their work. Keep it up!!

    Salsa, queso, and guacamole appetizer. The chips are crispy and great.
    Zach D.

    The signature tacos are great. The guacamole is very flavorful. The atmosphere is great. Draft beer has a limited selection, lacking many domestics. My main complaint is the service is way too fast. Don't order your food too quickly if you're relaxing, or it will be out very fast.

    This was our pick for tacos during our trip to St Louis while staying in Soulard. It proved to be one of our most disappointing meals. The service was fast, friendly and attentive and the vibe of the restaurant decor was bright and fun, so the 3 stars is based on the food only. The salsas, mild and hot, were both hot. They aren't complimentary and we let a lot of it go to waste. While not listed on the menu we ordered basic cheese queso and it was good - thick and flavorful. We ordered a burrito and variety of tacos, plus an order of beef empanadas. The empanadas were decent. I was thankful the beef wasn't overly seasoned. The outside was buttery and flaky, more like a biscuit than the crispy texture I'm used to for empanadas. The tacos were overwhelmed by their toppings, causing the protein to be missed. Or in my case, the meat was so seasoned, almost a burnt taste, that I only ate the toppings and skipped the rest. Overall, not the experience we'd hoped for and I'd recommend seeking an alternative spot.

    Stumbled upon Mission in Soulard after stopping in St. Louis for lunch. The neighborhood itself is super cute, historic, and the farmers market was neat to explore and walk through. The bartenders were super friendly, and started lunch with chips and some of the best queso and a margarita. Food arrived quickly, and was fantastic! Will definitely be stopping back by! Loved it

    Before leaving St. Louis had to make a stop to eat! And Mission Taco Joint stuck out! A Very historic place! Old antiques aligned the entire restaurant. We ordered a couple steak tacos and beef Taco for the kid! Good food. Good staff! Can't really go wrong with tacos. (2021)

He made some suggestions after I asked a few questions.

I loved how the miso and sesame came through. My other pick was what my daughter was going to get so I got to try that, too! The So Hip It's Outta Sight made with Blanco Tequila, Green Chile Vodka, Creole Shrubb, Cranberry-Sage Syrup, and Lime. It was sweet and good. I would order either of them again. We arrived late on Sunday, around 9:00 PM and they closed at 10:00 not realizing till we were in and seated that no one else was there, we must have passed the last person that came out as we were coming in.

The vibe is classic, elevated, and gives true cocktail lounge energy -- not loud or chaotic, just intentional and well put together. Now let's talk about what we came for: the drinks. We ordered the Old Fashioned flight, and when I say they did not come to play... they did not come to play. Each one was crafted differently, and you can tell there's real skill behind the bar. These are not bartenders -- these are mixologists. Every drink was balanced, strong (in a good way), and thoughtfully made. Quick tip: If you plan on getting the Old Fashioned flight, make this your last stop of the night... because you will feel it. Service was great, drinks came out in a timely manner, and the overall experience felt elevated from start to finish. Highly recommend if you're looking for a true cocktail experience in St. Louis.

I was able to get a seat at the bar and immediately starting reading the menu of their signature cocktails. I went with, Sign Painter. It was served in a fluted glass and was made with rye whiskey. I'm a big fan of rye and I found this drink very refreshing. I am a cocktail snob, I enjoy a well made cocktail. Being a snob, I want a mixologist that prepares a masterful cocktail. Enjoying my cocktail and watching the gentleman working behind the bar, I can honestly say, he is a masterful bartender. This visit, I did not order any food items. However, seeing the food severed around me, I'll definitely be back to enjoy to enjoy some Crab Stuffed Mushrooms or a Crab Cake Sandwich. The inside of the bar is compact. In addition to the bar sitting, there's a row of booths along the wall. Beyond the barroom, is a backroom that's is pretty comfy and classy, too. In front of the building is a welcoming patio, that I'll be back to check out in better weather. After just one visit, I know I'll be back. If I still lived in STL, I'd probably be a regular.

After looking at a handful of menus on the street, we de died on Good Company. Service was great. Very attentive. They immediately asked if we had any dietary issues and then promptly after hearing out needs, made a handful of recommendations. We started with the cauliflower. It was excellent the light sauce and pine nuts really made this dish top notch. The vegetarian and GF adults then split the Caesar salad and the squash seasonal salad. Both were so flavorful, filling and entirely unique. If you're a salad eater, I'd highly recommend either one of these. The carnivore in our group ordered the Italian beef with French fries. Unfortunately they were out of the Italian beef so he had to settle on the wings. The wings were a solid lunch after an appetizer, but the sauce was not what was expected.

One of the staff behind the bar came and took our order. I stuck with water and we ordered chicken wings to share, I also got the Cucumber Tomato Salad for my meal, it sounded so fresh! Chicken wings came out fairly quick; delivered by the host who seated us. They were really good. The skin was crisp and the buffalo sauce a good flavor. We both enjoyed them. They came with a Green Goddess dressing, I am not a fan of that dressing, but the wings were good on their own. My salad came out and it was as refreshing as it sounded! It was the half salad, and it was a generous portion. Cornichon, Oven-Roasted Tomato, Crispy Shallot, Chopped Egg, and Dill Buttermilk dressing. It was perfectly dressed, and great proportions on the ingredients. My daughter ordered the Patty Melt advertised on Union Loafers bread and that clinched it for her. She indicated it was very good. The food was delivered by someone other than our server. After our food was delivered no one came back to check on us and we waited quite a while before we could get someone's attention to bring boxes and our check. While we were waiting the employees were setting up for dinner service, adding mini aperitif style glasses and then a couple came in for an early dinner and their server was so awesome, he came over and chatted with them offering samples of some kind of alcohol, he was so friendly!
