OG Brisket Birria and Carne Asada Taco
Gabrielle J.

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!

Street Corn Off The Cob
Kate K.

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,

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.

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!!

Soulard Farmers Market nearby

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)

Chips and Salsa
Neal M.

The perfect afterwork hangout spot for big groups and good bites! Environment: This place is an open and vibrant, yet casual ambiance that caters toward big groups but also has smaller tables for smaller groups too. Not sure if it's the best first date spot but definitely good vibes for those long term couples. The music is a bit loud so our vocal cords got their workout in. Restaurant was bustling with conversations though too... so maybe a good thing? Despite that, definitely one of the better decorated Mission Tacos in the area. Food/Drink: We ordered chips and salsas for the appetizer for the table. Both salsas both had deep flavors and were delicious. The red sauce is a bit smoky and a bit spicy which my party loved. The chips are thicker than normal cantina style, so may not cater to everyone. Unfortunately only able to snag a picture of my own entree this time since the table ended up being super crowded. I got the South Beach burrito smothered in a spicy ranchero salsa. Flavors on point and quality ingredients to create this Mexican staple. Only complaint with the burrito would be that it lacked a crunch to balance out the textures and and element of freshness. Rice was slightly mushy as well unfortunately. The burrito needs some pico or lettuce to brighten the burrito. Some members of the party also got drinks (see pictures) which were surprisingly strong, but on the sweeter side. Rating: 4/5, one of the better Mission Taco's in the area. Attentive service and caters to restrictions/requests very well. Amazing atmosphere for a casual bite. The food is solid but has some shortcomings as above. High rating to emphasize the vibes and great service!

Went to visit the Soulard farmer's market and noticed this taco spot a few blocks away. Thought we'd check them out for happy hour and a quick bite! The restaurant itself is rustic, vibrant, and funky! I loved the space. Our server was really great and I appreciated his hospitality with sharing things to do in the city. We ordered the Baja fish taco and the carne asada taco. Both were okay. I would've appreciated the fish to be bigger or to at least fit the shell. They also had a piece of fried shrimp randomly in the taco. The carne asada taco had more sauce and a bit more flavor, but still... just okay. The margaritas were mostly ice and only tasted like juice. Really lacked the tequila punch! I think this is a cute place to hang and maybe grab a taco or two and a beer since it's on tap. But I don't think I'd go back.

Can't go wrong. Delicious, fast, good ambiance. Really like the duck and the grilled fish. Street corn is awesome and the queso is too.

I am assuming the heat inside was why there were grease/sweat patches on the edge of the table I was seated on. The birria tacos were very average, the rice that came with it was absolutely bland and the pastor enchiladas were alright but the meat was mostly charred. The horchata was so dilute, I couldn't taste anything. The only saving grace were the chips and salsa - especially the salsa. Overall, this is a pretty overpriced place for below average food.

I like that this is a mother fast casual option so you can order at the counter and then they will bring the food to you when it's ready. They have a self service station for drinks (no alcohol). I wish I would have taken a picture of the tacos I ordered during my first visit, but I definitely forgot. I ordered a shrimp taco and while I was nervous that it would be small, it as actually a nice size and very filling. Was it a bit spicy? Yes. But I powered through because the flavors were good. The cilantro rice was also so good as a side and I loved the street corn, it was so creamy and delicious. My main pick when I visit now is the half southwest rice bowl with grilled chicken. It is the right portion size and has all the things I love in the rice bowl. I forgot to add avocado/guac on this last visit, but that's usually a good thing to add on top or to the side.

RST is owned by an amazing couple who care about their guests and their products. The food is fun and tasty; drinks are fantastic. First off: there's a small parking lot on the east side of the building plus plenty of street parking. Inside you'll be graciously welcomed by the bartender if you slide onto a barstool-- or you can be seated at a table in the dining room or outside. They're usually a few decent beers on tap, and more available in cans. The bar manager does excellent work with a specialty cocktail menu and house-made shrubs and syrups. The house margarita is affordable and very drinkable. While you wait, enjoy complimentary popcorn topped with Rock Star Dust-- their own special blend of seasonings that is also included in several other menu items. Scan the QR code to see the menu of rockstar-named dishes like the glass onion rings, Amy Swinehouse (pork taco) and such. It's all good! (Your server will take your order & bring the food out.) Tamales are especially excellent, made with the owner's mother's authentic recipe. There are a few vegetarian options, rotating specials, and sweet treats as well. You can get in and out pretty quickly if you've got somewhere else to be, or hang for a while and enjoy the cool atmosphere & wonderful people!

Everything was great! We are sad to see them go. I had the McSabbath, Fish You were Here (the sweet…read moresauce wasn't for me, but the fish was nice and crispy), and the Man in the Box. We tried Eye of the Tiger, Mac & Diane, and Down on the Korner. All were tasty. If anything, I love the menu for clever names. Be sure to get there before they close the doors and grab a bottle of Rock Star Dust, too.

It's been a few weeks since I had any pocket cash to go out to eat... so I decided to pick a food…read moresource at random for a Saturday afternoon, and I'm SO GLAD I did... You know how they say one of the best things about Mexico is the food? I have to admit, I would honestly wouldn't know and just have to trust the stories I've heard, as I've never been lucky enough to go to Mexico.... But all my life I've heard stories about people who go and basically remind you.. NEVER hit a restaurant for _authentic_ Mexican food. You want to hit the street vendors. Well, St. Louis has a fantastic surprise.. Now you can do that right here in the city! Part of a three-restaurant set up, Amigo Sole is the "street vendor" restaurant that's not on the street. (And having met the owner of the full set-up, I'm REALLY hoping i get invited to the grand opening of Jekyll & Hyde) As it was middle of the day Saturday, I didn't ask for anything alcoholic (so i don't know if the reviewer that asked for alcoholic beverages and was told they didn't have any was just unlucky or if it was true.) But I'll take a Mexican Coke over American Coke any day of the week (NO, get your minds out of the gutter.. not that powdered one!). Anyway, I went simple for a quick stop, and went with the Chicken Bomb. at the recommendation of the cashier and he was quick to name this one off.. (and always remember cashiers, have a favorite READY, so thumbs up to the cashier on this one!) . And then to my amazement.. no more than 5 minutes later, HOT, tasty, cheesy, chicken quesadilla style BOMB-diggity! (Ironically this one is not listed on the website menu, only the instore menu? Come on Sole, online is everything today :) ) Absolutely delicious food.. and absolutely messy too, as it literally would fall apart in my hands.. (HEY, that's a good thing!) As for the decor.. 100% true, as Amigo Sole definitely has SOUL! (and lots of soles!). Again Amigo Sole isn't designed to be a 'great sit down' restaurant, it's designed to be street-vendor FUN!!!! and with what decoration they have, it pulls it off fantastically in my opinion. So just based on my meal, what the owner told me about the Amigo Sole, you're getting EXACTLY what you're promised a Mexican street vendor serving fantastic Mexican street vendor food, only with a roof over your head the entire time. During the meal, met again (Who i believe to be) the owner of the store and talked with him about Amigo Sole and how amazing it was to me... and he told me about the three-restaurant combination. (And I apologize sir, but I completely forgot your name when we talked!). even mentioning they share three kitchens when it gets busy (so I was kinda lucky as i think the rain scared everyone out for the day), but I'm still hoping for the Jeckyll & Hyde invitation! (I'll even pretend to find a date if I have to for the upscale part!)

Wow! Definitely what we were looking for and hoping it would be! You know how you see a dish and…read morethen go try it out and it is nothing like what you thought it would be??? NOT HERE!!
