    Taco, tamale, Chimi combo with rice and beans.

    Good food at a reasonable price. (Get the third item on the dinner combo for only a dollar more). The place is kept up nice with usually good service. The fam likes the new b menu too.

    Asada Fries

    I cannot stress enough how good the Asada Fries are. My boyfriend and I planned our evening to come order this dish. It is perfect, nothing to change. The quality of all of the ingredients is excellent. The Chicken is always cooked to perfection - not overcooked or undercooked. The guacamole is seasoned perfectly and the plate is garnished to perfection. ‼You are missing out if you have not ordered this‼

    Mexican restaurant with a full menu of traditional fare. We brought the entire group to have a family meeting and the space was great. We sat in a large booth that seated 6 of us and enjoyed a margarita and chips while waiting for our food. Our server was fantastic, informative and attentive. As we checked out we even got to meet one of the owners, she was tending to the other things but when she saw us she came over to make sure we were taken care of and she personally checked us out. It's great to see the owners actively involved and concerned about your well being. Small things like that always win my business

    I will say that we received great service at Tequila. I love good authentic Mexican cuisine, but found the food to be rather bland. My daughter was disappointed with vegetarian options; basically green peppers, onions and mushrooms. Could be improved with additional veggies. Generous portions on the food and drink pours. Nice to get a discount for checking in on YELP. Food was good, not great; still giving 4 stars for great service, YELP discount and overall atmosphere.

    I live in Brighton Park and was very happy I tried this place. It's a walking distance so me and my son walked going there and we were greeted immediately and also seated quickly. The chips are good, not that great, but it was served fresh since those are still hot and crunchy. The salsa was good, but at first we thought it was frozen as it's not flowing through, but eventually we were able to pour it in.

    I've have passed by many times over the last several years. Finally had a chance to stop in for a drink and chips with my wife. It is the typical strip mall Mexican restaurant with all the usual offerings. The decor is better than many of them though. We sat at the bar ordered our margaritas and cheese dip for the chips. Not really any different that so many other places. We were happy to see the $2 coupon when we checked in though. We were disappointed though when it was denied because we didn't order food. Maybe there is some rule about discounting a bar bill, but the coupon clearly states off total bill. We have options closer to home and probably won't be back

    To say this place is excellent, is a huge understatement! I'd give this place 10 stars if I could. We've been coming here for years, it's amazing how much we still love the food and the people working here. On our way out to Pointfest and stopped for food first, so glad we did too!! The pork burrito with green sauce and cheese dip....amazing. Top it off with with my favorite Mexican beer and pow, I am one happy camper.

    Located on the inside corner of a strip mall, from the outside Tequila Mexican Restaurant looks like a tiny place. I've been by it dozens of times, years back when there was a frozen yogurt place a few doors down that my kids loved to frequent. My husband and I decided to have lunch there on a recent Saturday. We were surprised to find that it is actually quite large, designed in several sections. There were few customers when we arrived, and we were immediately seated. Two flat screens nearby were playing international football (soccer) with Spanish-speaking commentators. At times like this, I wish I was farther along in my Spanish Duolingo pero yo estoy demasiado cansada estudiar -- or at least that's what I tell myself. We asked our server what he recommended. He suggested the $5.49 lunch specials which are available from 11:00 until 3:00. We both decided on fajitas, with corn tortillas for me. While we waited, we snacked on warm tortilla chips and salsa. The chips were good. I prefer chips thinner and saltier, but these were satisfying. The symphony of sizzles our fajitas gave when the server brought them to our table was magical. Between Hubby's steak fajitas and my chicken plate, I could have gotten a quick steam facial. Fabulous. The onions and peppers were dancing with joy. On the side: fresh lettuce, tomato, fresh guacamole, and sour cream, with rice and beans. My corn tortillas were soft, tasty, and unlike the ones I get at the store, they held together beautifully. Hubby confirmed the flour tortillas were typical flour tortillas. The fajitas were juicy, seasoned well, and fresh. For the price, the lunch was a terrific deal. The service was good, too. When I come back, I know I should try something different, but that fajita was so scrumptious. Maybe next time I'll even get a margarita. And I'll go home and estudiar mi Español.

However, an incident happened recently that has now complicated my love for them. I ordered two burritos for delivery recently and one ended up being wrong. It was supposed to be a Burrito Americano with shredded chicken, something I've had before. What came had ground beef and no red sauce, so I figured it was an entirely different burrito and called to let them know mine might have been swapped with someone else's. I understood that there was a good chance it wasn't getting replaced because I couldn't drive up to get another one, and yes that ended up being the case, but what got me was the guy on the phone said "oh sorry, on our tablets where we receive orders, we couldn't see that you made a meat selection so we just chose one." I confirmed that wasn't the case on my end. So one, that's crazy. Two, we've ordered from them before and that hasn't been a problem. Three, if that's true, how am I supposed to trust that I'll ever get what I ordered? So I don't know if they're not taking responsibility for their mix up for if they have a new system that's going to cause a lot of issues. But either way, I'm not thrilled and I'm probably done with them.

It is a bit of a drive for us and I don't see a return visit in the future. Ms T ordered a quesadilla with chicken. The tortilla was dry. The cheese and chicken were skimpy, coming nowhere near the edge of the tortilla and the chicken was just cooked chicken with no seasoning, no salt. My huevos rancheros came with the strangest salsa on them. They were served with a tortilla underneath, which is as they should be, but the sauce was almost clear, like broth thickened with cornstarch. It had a bit of tomato, but no chile and no seasonings. It was what I call wallpaper paste for anyone old enough to know what that is. The refritos and rice were fine, not remarkable. The guacamole was decent, not an onion bomb. I also ordered a side of carnitas, which would have been good had they not been served at room temperature. I asked for corn tortillas and received more of the dry flour tortillas that Ms T had for her quesadilla.

    Carreta's is the closest thing I have to a "local"--the place where I go after my shift at the post…read moreoffice to drink watery, domestic beer and make slightly inappropriate remarks to the waitstaff. My parents eat there on the reg, though not so much the past couple of years, after they implemented their controversial policy of shrinking portion sizes and increasing prices at the same time. Uh, whose idea was that? I have an idea. Let's just say he's not very good at riding a bicycle. I've eaten there literally a million times since it opened up 10 or 15 years ago. Before that, we used to eat at the place in Olivette that was once a Ponderosa, El Paisano or whatever. I don't think they're related, but when that place closed, a handful of employees came over to Carreta's. That was years ago, and they're now long gone. Hopefully, they weren't shipped off to El Salvador. I hear it's not safe there. More recently, we've been eating at a place a bit further west on Olive that was once a Houlihan's. Noticing a trend? Carreta's must be feeling the effects, because they've remodeled and added a few new menu items, some of which will be familiar to Barrel House patrons. The remodel seems to mostly have been a matter of applying a fresh coat of paint and turning the dim switch up to its absolute brightest. It used to be dark in there, like at a fancy restaurant. Now it's like Kmart circa 1986. I didn't check to see if a blue light had been installed in the ceiling, nor did I make it back to near the restrooms to see if they've still got that influencer wall. The menu has been reprinted, and I'm sure they took advantage of the opportunity to jack up prices even further. Many of the old favorites remain, and I'm not sure what, if anything, they removed to make room for the small handful of new items. I saw that they still have the carnitas, my old go-to. It's the only pork item on the menu. If you're familiar with the area, you can probably do the math on that one. Most importantly, they've added Birria, only about 10 years after it became trendy. What's next, a smashburger? A pumpkin spice latte? I've had Birria at a number of places, here in the STL and elsewhere, and in a few different preparations, and it's never not been good. It kinda is the Mexican food equivalent of the smashburger, in that regard. An order of three will run you $16, and it doesn't come with anything other than the consommé and a ramekin of tomatillo salsa. Just the three tacos wasn't the most filling meal I've ever had, but it wasn't half bad, for there not being any sides or anything. They stuff those tacos full with mostly just meat (along with cheese, onions and cilantro), and I'd imagine it's roughly as caloric as eating half the produce aisle at the grocery store. It's so good. I figured it would be kinda mediocre but nevertheless enjoyable, because I thought I had this place pegged, but credit where credit is due. They've exceeded expectations. This was one of the best things I've ever had in a Mexican restaurant. If they don't let the quality slip or try to charge literally $1,000 for it, I could honestly see it becoming a huge hit. What do you know? This place might manage to stay in business just yet, despite the newer, fancier place down the street.
