We're in town from Chicago area & this was our first stop because of the Yelp reviews. If I had to put a title to this trip deliciously spicy food, well what we had. Love the decor & the music being played it's a lot of fun! I should have got the name who brought our food out, he was really nice & we talked about where we were from. I highly suggest coming here. read more

We were dying to check this place out. I'm a huge fan of spooky thins and the decor did not disappoint! Super fun inside and would definitely make for a fun night out. We went during the day so it wasn't busy at all! Plenty of open seating options and and each table is themed! We stayed at the Beetlejuice table. When you are seated, you scan the QR code at the table and then order the food on the website. I got the quesabirria taco, chips and salsa, and horchata. My quesabirria taco was okay, I wasn't crazy about the "meat". It was a bit sweet for me. I loved the salsa!!! Chips were perfectly crispy, too. The horchata was pretty good, too. I'd come again if I was feeling spooky. read more

This is (maybe) my 4th time enjoying Terror Tacos. Each time, I am left completely satisfied with my food choices. I've had the tacos, quesadillas, burrito, and nachos. The service here is chill and easy. This means that you seat yourself & you go to the register to order EVERYTHING. This is great for people who don't enjoy being bothered while eating. It's small but even when it's full, it doesn't feel as overcrowded as it looks --unless there's a long line for the register to order food. My food had a little mishap, and it was replaced immediately without hesitation. I got the full-sized nachos. It took 2 people (1 adult, 1 toddler) & 2 nights to finish. Because of that, I wonder if the chips can be a side offering with the nachos for the people who take a little longer to eat, so that the chips don't get too soft. read more

Terror Tacos - Chorizo Pineapple Mangler - Tacos Near Me - St. Louis, Missouri

AMAZING. You could bet even tell that everything here was vegan, they did such a good job with flavoring their meat substitutes!! I had the chorizo pineapple mangler and I was blown away! Their portions sizes were so generous it was definitely two meals worth of food. The burrito was jam packed with rice and meat, I wish there was a bit more cabbage just cuz I liked the crunchy texture it added to the experience. The pineapple-mango salsa in there was light but it added the perfect hint of sweetness and spice to the burrito. I want to try everything in their menu! Not only was to food great, the theme was also unique! I love all the decorations in the restaurant! It is such a vibe, you have to go check it out. Fair warning, there wasn't too much seating inside, it was first come first serve. This place is a MUST TRY. read more

Came here for dinner due to some recommendations. Ambiance is very cool, spooky like Halloween year round. Ordered the Fright flight and the Birria Duo. It wasn't too busy, but the order took about 25-30 minutes to get out. Granted, they may have been working on some take out orders, but it felt like a lot longer than it needed to be. Additionally, they gave me a birria bowl instead. This may have been a simple misunderstanding since duo and bowl can sound similar, but they offered to remake it for me. I declined, and they gave me some chips on the house to rectify the situation so I appreciated that. The Fright Flight was very good. There are clearly ones that were better than the others. The Chili-Lupa, Carnage Asada, and the Double Diablo were very good. I think they all utilized a seasoned crumb so it didn't feel too far off from ground meat. It was seasoned very well, and very well-balanced in flavors. The other two, Buffalofu and Tofu Terror V2, were okay. The flavors were decent, but the texture of the tofu wasn't that pleasant. We've had good tofu before at other establishments, so we know what the texture can be like and so we knew what the texture could've been. I think if they improved the texture (it was a bit dry and crumbly, and not as tender as tofu can be), those tacos could be very good. As for the birria bowl, I think it was decent, but I think it could use a little more salt and heat. Overall, I didn't think it tasted that much like birria, but it was decent. Overall, despite a rough start, I think 3/5 tacos of the flight are very good. I would definitely come back and give it another try - the other tacos on the menu sound very good! 4/5 stars. read more

Terror Tacos - Fright flight and birria bowl (+ chips) - Tacos Near Me - St. Louis, Missouri

These are tacos I would scream for! Excellent execution of a themed restaurant (make sure you check out the restroom), fabulous staff (front and back), and food to die for (not from fright, it's just that freaking good). Although it may seem that I, a carnivorous spice sissy, have no place in a 100% vegan establishment priding itself on insane spice levels....it was one of the best meals I've had this year! The flavors are deep, bold, and complex, complimenting each other beautifully. In I was truly shocked at how incredible a basic witch taco could taste, and then I tried the Taco Grinder Quesadilla... That's where my heart stopped. The presentation 25/10, the portions made 2 meals, the speed and service 1000%, and the flavors punched my eyes out! I was there with spice resistant experienced vegans, they gave rave reviews for all the things that would make my face hurt, but I trust them and their pallets, you should, too. And the size of the goreditas, daaaayum. Oh yes, and their drink menu is a thing if beauty. I learned they make everything (EVERYTHING) in house, and the skill and quality comes through big time. Must have experience, make plans now! read more

This place is just so fantastic. It's themed as a really fun experience that serves good vegan tacos, but honestly I'd come here again without the fun theme, because the tacos we had were really great, too. Love the vibe, love the people and atmosphere, love the gimmick, and love the tacos! read more

Hands down one of the best vegan restaurants I've ever been to. So many delicious options and big portions, especially for the price. You can order at your table with a QR code or at the bar. This time I went with the taco grinder nachos (terrorized for extra spice). I couldn't even finish half of them! So many toppings where a lot of places skimp. The smokey mezcal maiden is my go-to margarita, which they also offer to go. Fun place and don't be surprised when the decor continues into the bathroom! read more

Terror Tacos - Tacos Near Me - St. Louis, Missouri

"Okay, real talk: I'm a born-and-raised New Yorker living in Atlanta, and I take my food VERY seriously. So when I say Terror Tacos is special, trust me--it's special. Flashback to November 2024: My husband and I stumbled in on a whim during a trip to St. Louis. One bite and we were hooked. Fast-forward to Mother's Day 2025--He specifically timed his visit to see family around a stop here & got on the plane to bring me some back home. That's commitment. The flavors? Bold, satisfying, honestly addictive. The vibe? Unapologetically fun--like a place that doesn't take itself too seriously but definitely takes its tacos seriously. And as someone who usually craves meat? I didn't even notice it was missing. That's how good they are. Now, every St. Louis trip has two priorities: Hug the family, then sprint to Terror Tacos. If they ever open in Atlanta? My loyalty is ready. Pro tip: Bring someone you love, because watching their face after the first bite is almost as good as eating it yourself. Almost. "** read more

Highly recommend Terror Tacos happy hour! My coworkers and I enjoyed the Taco Tuesday deals of $2 tequila shots, $5 margaritas, and discounted tacos. Nothing but good vibes! Friendly staff, quick service, good vegan food, delicious drinks, and a spooky ambiance. I'll be headed back soon! read more

Terror Tacos in St. Louis provides a great selection of vegan tacos, each delivering a unique and delightful flavor profile. The assorted tacos, showcasing a variety of plant-based ingredients, were a highlight of the dining experience. They managed to strike a balance between creativity and taste, leaving a positive impression on our taste buds. However, the much-anticipated birria, while generating excitement, fell short of expectations. The consume was disappointingly oily. The staff at Terror Tacos contributed to a pleasant dining atmosphere with their friendliness and attentiveness. Despite this positive aspect, the ambiance of the space left something to be desired. The dim lighting made it challenging to fully appreciate the presentation of the dishes, and the loud music created an environment that hindered casual conversations. Terror Tacos offers a mix of highs and lows. While the vegan tacos showcase the culinary creativity of the establishment, the birria's consume and the ambiance may leave some patrons with a less-than-ideal impression. It's a spot to consider for unique vegan options, but be prepared for potential variations in the overall dining experience. read more

The food was very food! The ambiance was different but pretty dope! It gives horror movies and O loved that! The service is more or seat yourself. You have the ability to order on the website and they'll bring it to you. You can also order at the bar. It's 100% plant based so if you're not vegan then you might not like it. It was very well seasoned though and the presentation was top tier. The buffalo chicken was so good and stuffed with flavor and food lol. It was really good the red hot riplets gave it a nice spice that was so delicious. I didn't eat my other taco because i was stuffed . The nachos were so good and flavorful as ever! If you're in the mood for healthier options for tacos it's a must try! read more

Terror Tacos is a spooky little vegan taco shop on South Grand. I appreciate the dedication to a good theme. The store is decorated with lots of references to horror movies - with posters and portraits of thrillers and monsters, various statues and figures, cobwebs and antique-looking chandeliers, and dripping paint down the walls, you even have the option to dine with a skeleton. The staff was very nice and greeted us immediately upon entering and would check on us periodically as we dined in. As for the food, Terror Tacos specializes in vegan tacos, burritos, and nachos which is a great option if you are looking for some plant-based offerings. The food was good, but I wouldn't be dying (get it) to come back so soon. I ordered the Carnage-Asada and Tofu Terror Tacos and split a side of chips and guacamole. I liked the tofu taco the most - the tofu was seasoned well and had a nice texture to it. The chips and guacamole were pretty standard. The Carnage-Asada taco was more spice than any other seasoning so if I came back I would probably try something else. Overall, I would give Terror Tacos a try if you're looking for a restaurant with a fun theme and vegan offerings. read more

I reluctantly give Terror Tacos 3 stars because I didn't love the food. It was a large portion size and seemed to be quality ingredients, but the flavor was very strong and it was hard to eat. That said, I'm so glad Terror Tacos exists! You've got to love a niche - and Terror does it with both their food (all vegan) and their decor (all horror). While neither is my thing, I really respect the whole-hearted commitment to the theme. It is very possible that I'd like another dish better, and it may also be the case that vegans would eat what I had and love it. It just wasn't my favorite meal. I'm definitely willing to return and try something new. read more

Overall very cool place with good food, I would recommend the pineapple salsa and chips! read more

I came to Terror Tacos during the South Grand Dine Around and I'm surprised I haven't reviewed this place before because every time I come here the food is great!

Terror Tacos - Tacos Near Me - St. Louis, Missouri

Service was great! I placed an online order and I've been excited to try this place for years now. I'm not vegan, but I do enjoy vegan food. I tried the basic witch tacos with the crumbles and they had an odd taste, not that flavorful to me. They did pack the tacos with the faux meat, I will say that! I also ordered one of the "carne asada" inspired tacos and I was not impressed. I didn't finish that one. The texture of the meat was not for me, a little rubbery. The cheese dip and tortilla chips also left me underwhelmed. I've had great vegan cheese before and this one was slightly grainy in texture. Overall, I'm glad I tried it! But all of the raving reviews, unfortunately led me astray and confused. read more

Terror Tacos has been in my radar for a while and we finally went last night! I didn't know it was as small as it is. There were four of us and when we got there we ended up having to sit at the high top communal table because that's all that was available. I don't like high top tables, but it was better than nothing. You can order at the counter or via QR at your table. My husband ordered our food and said the process was annoying, as did our friends. It's dark in there! People were using their phone flashlights to read the menu. And the music was loud so everyone was talking over it and it was a lot. After we ordered our food, a four top table opened up and we moved there. The cocktails came out after a little while. The food took much longer - maybe about an hour. There were people coming in for carry out orders. So even when it didn't seem there were many people in there after a while, they still had to go orders sprinkled in there. The food menu had peppers next to the menu items. The bigger the piece of pepper, the spicier. Another diner explained that to us. The tacos are a decent size. Two were plenty for me. If I were really hungry, I would maybe be able to eat two and a half. The tacos and the drinks were really good! I'd definitely go back! read more

This place is awesome!! Awesome cocktails and awesome food. I got the satanic mule to drink and it was sooo yummy. Perfect for sitting outside on the patio (sidewalk). Vegan Birria! House made seitan, sour cream, cabbage, onion & cilantro + consummé for dipping! Omg these were delicious! I never knew vegan could taste this good! If you're not vegan, let Terror Tacos put your misconceptions to rest. Their tacos will have you drooling. Everything I've had here is better than the rest. This place is so unique and the staff is so friendly and kind. Definitely puts off spooky season vibes all year round! Horror mo use okaying on tv and loud metal music. A hidden gem on South Grand, which is becoming one of my favorite restaurant scenes in STL City! Check them out! read more

It's more like 3.6 stars! My friend raved about this place so when I came to town it was the first place she wanted to take me. It's cool for what it is. I could go back but don't have to if that makes sense. The food was decent. I can't remember what I ordered and don't remember the name of what my friend got, BUT I know I enjoyed hers more than mine...Lol Ambiance was blah. We got a lot of stares from the folks dining in. I'm not sure what that was about. Service was okay, since it was my first time i asked for suggestions but she really didn't have anything to recommend. The bartender was a bit confused about making drinks. Settled on a flavored margarita, but it wasn't the best. Overall, if on the southside of Stl and craving a taco, I might stop in but definitely wouldn't go out of my way to stop in. read more

Literally the best tacos I've ever had- and I am not a vegan. I got the flight of tacos and just WOW, I was so sad to finish a taco yet so excited to try another one. This place KNOWS good flavor!! read more

ALL VEGAN! LOVE IT! What? I went with a couple of people and was able to try the tacos and nachos. I got the taco flight was a really good way of trying a number of tacos when you can't decide. Unfortunately I was full from the nachos I only had the chance to try 2 tacos. The tacos were very generously filled! I think it is just missing some toppings like veggies or salsa. Other than that it was really good and filled. The nachos was oof! I got half nachos and it was like a full! I love that it has a lot of toppings! One thing I wasn't a fan of was the type of chips... they taste like the movie theatre ones... I wish it was more tortilla kind, but either way it did the job on the nachos. Environment I am not local to St. Louis or even MO. This was on a busy street. Inside was very small, there are about 10 tables maybe. Very interesting. All high tables. You seat yourself, you order ahead and they give you a number and bring you the food once you have ordered. There is a theming for this place, it is halloween-y! Terror! Niceness of the staff Really nice staff. They made sure if everything was good. Yes? I would def. This time I am more prepared on what it is like. And will try other items. read more

Terror Tacos is amazing! My mother knows the owner and I mentioned this place to her for lunch m after seeing Chihuly at the Botanical Gardens. The decor is wonderful and artsy and the metal music is a bit loud and not our thing but was easy to tune out and not too loud to talk. There is also outdoor dining we recommended to our friends who were scared of the loud metal and they loved it too. We ordered the two taco lunch specials with Horchatas and both had the Carnage Asada, I got the Citrus Mistress, and my mom got and I had some of the Tofu Terror Vol. 2. The tacos were very filling and it's hard to believe the lunch special is only $7.95 but then again this is St. Louis not DC. Everything was delicious and I look forward to coming back with my wife and friends sometime back in town. High quality vegan tacos in St. Louis is not something I expected. read more

Get there early. The restaurant in the south Grand area is very small and very popular for dinner hours only. There were a lot of take out orders which slowed up getting our food but not to any annoyance. The music was at a conversational level when we walked in but increased in volume as the night went on. The food and service rises above the noise level. Plant-based vegan heavy and some gf choices and all well prepared and presented. Drink options are canned but chosen well for type of food. Staff is helpful and accommodating and very present in this space! The prices are reasonable. The atmosphere is meant to be gothic-like so wouldn't say kid friendly. Great little treat of a casual food space. read more

Beyond amazing. The decor, the food, the drinks, the staff ... everything exceeded my expectations. I ordered the Green Devil since I've been on a pineapple and jalapeño kick and it was perfection. My friends abandoned their drinks to order themselves one too. For food, I opted for tacos and I tried Deathwish and The Margot = delicious and filling. I'm into spicy and this is one of the few places to make my nose run. Yesssss. If you took an unsuspecting person here, I don't know they'd be able to tell it's all vegan. It's all so good. AND if you're a horror fan, your eyes will feast on the decor details ... make sure to visit the bathroom for a fun surprise (Aak! Aak!) I cannot wait to go back. read more

We decided on Terror because we both mainly eat plants and I've been told wonderful things about their food. She got the burrito which was ginormous and super tasty. I got nachos with chorizo and jalapeños. Oh my word! I wish I lived closer because I would eat here at least twice a week. The drinks were also good.

This place is so good! I did not know vegan tacos could taste so good. The flavor and size hold their own to that of traditional tacos. My friend and I shared the Freight of Tacos, each one was great! My other friend had a crunch wrap and it was very good. The ambience is very chill. It is in, what looks like, a repurposed theater and the decor reminds me of the Rocky Horror movie.

The horchata was not my favorite, it is good but I am use to more cinnamon/flavor. read more

Holy cow! I am FLOORED. Best tacos I've ever had in my life, hands down. We ordered two different "frights" (flights) of 5 tacos, and each had something so special about it. The buffalofu with its crunchy topping, the chalupa one - I can't pick a favorite they were all so good. The atmosphere was incredible with horror/halloween-ish decor all around (including a life-sized Mars Attacks! Martian in the bathroom, such a nice touch) and metal on the speakers. The staff were so friendly and welcoming, I could have stayed here to hang out all night long. I'm sad I live four hours away, but the good news is STL is a stop along many frequent road trip routes and you better believe I'll be going out of my way to come back. Thank you Terror Tacos!

Terror Tacos - Two different levels of spice: "fright" of tacos - Tacos Near Me - St. Louis, Missouri

This is the best vegan place I've ever been to!!!!! I might be biased because I like vegan food, but I strongly believe you could bring a meat-lover here and they would love it too. This place has such a cool theme to it. It makes it more of an experience to go there, which I always love. You can tell what they're going for on their website and when reading through their menu items - I love it! My friend got the fright of tacos which comes with tofu terror, double diablo, carnage asada, green chili-lupa, and buffalofu. Her favorite was the double diablo taco and buffalofu taco. I loved my fajita dish, it was HUGE! I ate the whole thing for lunch and was so full I don't think I ate the rest of the day. It came with black beans, fajita veggies, carne asada "meat", guac, cheese sauce and salsa. I made my own tacos with all of it - sooo good. Sadly, I don't think they have this on the menu anymore, but if it comes back as a special ever again, you must try it! I can't wait to go back and try a few tacos or a quesadilla. This place is like a vegan taco bell on steroids and most definitely tastes way better than taco bell. Can't recommend it enough!!!! read more
