This is a small, limited menu, authentic Mexican spot. They have lots of taco options, and a few other dishes to offer as well--including one of my favorites, flautas! They have lots of beverage options including jarritos, a few Mexican beers, and a couple of cocktails. I also appreciated that they have a few house-made salsa options that really pack a punch. My date ordered a few street tacos with birria shredded beef. I unfortunately didn't try them, but they looked fabulous and the taste of consomé I took was spot on. I almost never pass up flautas if they're on the menu, so it was on an obvious choice. The chicken was flavorful and juicy, in the most perfectly crisp fried tortilla. They had the perfect amount of toppings including crema, tomatoes, queso fresco, and lettuce. Definitely some of my favorite flautas in STL. Perhaps my only complaint was that the chips and salsa I also got for $4.50 was pretty small, considering. I will say, though, that the salsa was divine--definitely has a good amount of heat, but for me it was perfect. I'll be back to try some street tacos very soon!

Great tacos and amazing staffs!! Will definitely be on my list to come back and try more. We…read moreordered 4 street tacos and they are all so flavorful.

The only reason I'm giving it 3 stars is because the ordering process was a little confusing. When we arrived, we were told we could order drinks but needed to wait about 10 minutes before ordering food so the kitchen could catch up. After that, it wasn't really clear when we were supposed to go back up and order, and it seemed like a few other people were confused too. The staff was very nice, but it felt like they could have used a couple more people working that day. They even brought us a complimentary vegetarian taco, which was a nice touch! Once we ordered, our food came out within about 15 minutes.The tacos were good, flavorful, and the salsa was great. I think our experience may have just come down to staffing that day. I'd definitely give them another try!

It's located in what used to be the Deer Creek center (not 100% sure what it is called now"), so there's lot of parking due to the amount of businesses. We were seated quickly on a Friday evening and greeted quickly by our server. She was great, knowledgeable, and super friendly. She had purple hair, I do not remember her name but shout out to her! I asked if they had skinny margaritas and she said they could make some with orange juice. Not something I've encountered before but I like to try new things! It wasn't bad, but definitely missed the lime centered taste. The drinks came with really cute drink accessories- I love little touches like that! We got chips and queso to share. Queso was great and the chips were super good. Great thickness and don't break when you dip them. That's always the worst. For my meal, I ordered the chicken/ steak fajitas. Portion was wonderful and was SUPER affordable. It came with corn tortillas and super fresh accompaniments. I left full and super satisfied. I'd go back for sure.

Was looking to try a New Mexican place and found this one via Yelp reviews. The service was ok,…read morewent at 3PM on a Saturday so it was not busy. My main issue was the dish I ordered was quite different than described by the menu. It didn't taste bad per se, but I would have ordered something else if it was described accurately. When I asked the waiter if I received the correct dish because it didn't seem like what the menu described they said it was correct. Felt a little bit like I was being gas lit, so just won't be back. I wish I had taken a picture of the dish, but here is the menu description and then I'll describe what I was served. Pollo El Potro Menu description: Two grilled chicken breasts topped with cheese dip sauce and served with salad, rice and tortillas Actual dish: One grilled chicken breast topped with cheese dip sauce served on a bed of tortilla chips, grilled onions, and grilled peppers. Served with a small pico de gallo salad, guacamole, rice, beans, and tortillas. The one chicken breast I got was very dry, even with the cheese sauce and the onions/peppers/tortilla chips made it super awkward to eat. The flavor was ok, but more than anything my issue is that it was way different than what was described on the menu and when specifically asked about it I was told it is what I ordered. Overall, a disappointing experience.

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!

My friend and I stopped here for a last minute drinks and dinner. We each had the house special, I think it was called the Cadillac margarita with salted rim, iced not frozen, and we got the jumbo. OMG I couldn't even finish the jumbo. It was very strong and big, had to take it home to try and finish it. A wait staff dropped off chips and salsa and the chips were just not that good. I asked my friend what she thought and she said the same thing I did. The salsa did help but if I opened my own Mexican place I would serve the best chips I could find. I know they're free but many places offer some kind of free snack (Helen's has popcorn, some places still offer salted peanuts...) and I think it should make one think the chips are good the food will be better. As I was drinking I wanted some food and we got two chicken burritos, they were large and very good!! They were 2 for $14 if that gives an idea on cost. While I live just a few minutes from here, I haven't seen enough in 2 visits to say I'll keep coming here for Mexican, there are many other places in South St Louis to try. Oh and I swear the bar "stools" are big enough for two people. I probably look comical on one as my friend and I may have been able to fit into one stool.
