If you happen to be around this area and want a reliable, inexpensive option for food, this is a solid, Tex Mex style place. I have a high spicy tolerance and they brought out a special salsa, peppers and a sauce for me. Orders: El Gordo Special ($13.25): grilled shrimp, roasted red peppers, lettuce, avocado, rice. The shrimp was plump and grilled well. Chori Pollo ($13): grilled marinated chicken topped with cheese dip and Mexican sausage, served with rice, guacamole salad and tortillas. This was pretty good! The Mexican sausage paired well with the chicken. Chimichanga with beef ($4.25). The size and amount of meat? This was a steal. Less expensive than some frozen food options at Trader Joe's and Costco. Margarita, 12oz ($3.99). Not bad for the price. Beef street taco ($3.50). Okay, this is the one item I can compare to options in California and definitely had better there read more

Food is great!! Family owned and operated. Anything on the menu is great. You'd be missing out if you didn't eat here

Waiter was unfriendly and arrogant. Ambiance was nonexistent. No music. Outdated decor. Food was not very good at all. Total waste of time and money. read more

This a wonderful, family owned restaurant. Start with the generous chips and delicious salsa along with a fantastic margarita, and order anything on the menu, you won't be disappointed! Service is always prompt and your food arrives quickly. My favorite dish is the carnitas, the pork is slow roasted and so tender, I'm getting hungry just thinking about it!! read more

Okay, so this was so good we didn't even wait an entire week to go back! And it's not very close to home. I had to make up an excuse to go somewhere on the way. We tried different dishes this time, really to see if we just hit on an extra good day last time. Chimichanga, beef with beans, rice and salad and Chicken burrito with beans and rice. Once again, great food and great value. We're giving up two other Mexican restaurants we frequent so we can afford the gas to go to Tres Torito's once a month, at least! read more

We had an excellent Mexican food lunch here, fast service, seems popular with the locals.

I am that person who can find something wrong anywhere I go...that being said I have nothing but good things to say about this place. The interior is beautiful with vibrant color everywhere...very inviting and quick service after entering. The drinks came out quickly, along with very good chips and salsa. The meals are huge, no way you are leaving hungry here and they were also brought out very fast...but not too fast if you know what I mean... Overall very delighted with this visit and even with the 45 minute drive it really seems worth it. A+ Service A+ Taste Will be back... Thank you read more

Tres Toritos - Front of building - Mexican Near Me - Saint Clair, Missouri

The owner has taken quite a fancy with my wife. Last time there we shared a dish and he, not the waitress brought it out and gave it to her with his back to me. Very disrespectful! If we ever go back there will be broken dishes. read more

Looks my be deceiving. Good food always busy good service. Very Good Mexican food. I would go again. read more

We've been going to Tres Toritos for about 10 years, it's the place that we can depend on to have great food and equally great service. The owners serve you, cook and do the cashier work as well, they are very nice people. The restaurant is generally packed so we go early so we can get a parking spot and not have to wait for a table. You have families, groups and a wide variety of customers that frequent Tres Toritos. We will continue to go here for wonderful Mexican food and lots of it. Yesterday I got the Fajita Supreme, it's very tasty with a large portion. I had to bring home half of it. My wife got the Chimichanga with steak. She was pleased with the choice. We also got the Sopapilla with ice cream, that was a nice dessert. read more

My husband and I were looking for something different to do, so I searched the Yelp app and found this place. It's located in the old Casey's. We were seated immediately. The service was great and attentive. The food was very tasty and fulfilling. It was reasonably priced. We will definitely be going back. It IS worth the trip. read more

As usual, good food and good service. Tres Toritos has it down for handling groups and getting food out quickly. A regular stop for us when we visit Missouri. read more

I enjoyed another meal here. I love their Enchiladas Verde! I had a couple of margaritas as well. read more

We went for dinner and it took forever just for us to get drinks. Not even just to get them but also for a server to come up and just take our order. Food came out cold and the thing is you'd be more understanding about things like this if the service wasn't so terrible. Waitresses were so rude and clearly had attitude problems. I've worked as a server in the industry for years and was just shocked at the service here. We definitely won't be coming back. read more

Best tamales I've ever had. Not even close. Staff is friendly and knows how to hustle when things get busy.

Passing through town on our way back home to Texas. We have had plenty of Mexican food. This place was excellent. I got the enchilada rancheras which are cheese enchiladas topped with tender beef pieces. The best enchilada I have had in a long while. So yummy! read more

I've been to every restaurant in every different direction from our home. THIS is THE best restaurant anywhere; regardless the type. If you're a margarita lover try the special one (can't remember the name, el presidenté maybe?). It's the best margarita I've ever had! The food is fabulous. The people are friendly. The service is above and beyond anything you could expect. Go there, you won't be sorry; I promise! read more

Awesome food and service. I always get what I order. Very clean restroom but pretty small. Great place for celebrations or a family gathering. read more

Really fast service. Pretty good chips and salsa. Nice size portions and our meals were tasty. The place was hoppin on a Thursday evening.

Great experience! We walked in and already the server set the expectations that our service will be delayed as he was the only server there and they were clearly busy. Very much appreciated! This is a family-owned restaurant and it showed. The brothers took orders while the mom was cleaning up tables and dad was in the back cooking. I wish I had pictures of the food as the portions were large and fairly priced..actually the prices were pretty cheap. I'm sure they have no competition in that area as it was the only Spanish restaurant I could find. I ordered the chicken quesadillas which were massive! Traditionally made with peppers, onions, and loads of cheese. My hubby ordered the steak tacos (flour tortillas-only option) that came with a side of rice and beans. The beans did not taste like they were from a can, they were delicious! This is a small restaurant, about 20 tables if I had to guess but it was nicely decorated with the loud colors like orange, blue, yellow and red. We would definitely return. Food was great and they know how to make margaritas!! read more

Tres Toritos - Larger Margarita, totally worth it. We shared! - Mexican Near Me - Saint Clair, Missouri

Great food - owner too fast -not nice and Never smiles or says thanks! Lady be nice to your customers!!

We were apprehensive but hungry after a too-long drive. Ordered enchiladas, carnitas, and one tamale--for two people! Delicious all around but after eating our fill we had leftovers. Those leftovers fed three of us the next day. Did I mention that the servings were ample? I have not yet traveled in Mexico so I can't vouch for the authenticity. But I have enjoyed delicious food and this ranks with the best. If you go, bring an appetite or a friend or both. read more

So delicious! We came here for lunch. Specials are incredible. A bunch of food and all so good. Love their chips & salsa. We had the Special #5. Burrito, tamale & taco. Everything was amazing! Great service too & fast! read more

Great food, good service, friendly staff. Lovely place to eat. Great location. Good atmosphere.

Always friendly people, wonderful food, great drinks and fast service! Everyone should definitely try it out!

Best Mexican in the area. People are friendly and prices are affordable. We love this place.

Yelp comes thru for me (US, as I was in a large group). Nice decor, good chips, GREAT salsa for dipping and service for starters. My chicken fajitas were full of flavor, as were the frijoles and arroz. Tasty guac, pico and sour cream with CORN tortillas to boot made for a perfect meal. Nice and stuffed for an excellent price. I'd be back here often, if I were closer... read more

I love this place with my whole heart. The atmosphere and staff are so welcoming you can't wait to go back after each meal. It is truly family owned and operated. A gem for our community! read more

Stopped by for dinner during a roadtrip. Man, this place was hoping for Sunday. You'd never guess that there wasn't much around. The hubs had a chimichanga, I had shrimp cocktail, and the nugget had chicken strips and rice. Everything was good...even though we probably filled up on chips and salsa ahead of time lol. My giant margarita made the whole thing even better. read more

It was spicy! The Enchilada Verde had a tasty, white meat, shredded chicken smothered in a rich, flavorful green sauce and a pile of cilantro (drool). My 'go to' dish at a different restaurant did not disappoint. I heard from the locals this was a place not to miss! read more

Tres Toritos - Enchiladas Verdes - Mexican Near Me - Saint Clair, Missouri

My boyfriend and I have been driving across the country and were struggling to find food. We pulled up to this place and I'll admit I was skeptical. GUYS THIS PLACE WAS AMAZING, super fast service and AMAZING food. Our server Christopher was on it. I overheard a gentleman spilled on his shirt and Christopher quickly said "no no wait, I'll grab you some soda water so it doesn't stain" and he was out in a heartbeat. TRUST ME, this place is worth the stop! read more

Food was excellent but a little spicy :). Very large portions and fast friendly service. Well worth stopping in!

Absolutely awesome food and great service. Do yourself a favor and order the spicy salsa. You won't be disappointed

We are regulars here and we always get great service, and fantastic authentic food. Anything you order is going to be great. Fajita nachos with steak, chicken and shrimp are our normal go to, but their numbered specials are all fantastic as well. Try the poblanos/chilies rellenos. read more

coming from Saint Louis I didn't expect anything crazy but I was blown away by the yummy cheese . Well cooked meat. Service and overall setting and decorations of the place. Worth the drive and fairly priced . read more

I have pasted this place so many times only to see the parking lot completely full. We had always planned to stop, but over the years never had. Today was finally the day. There isn't many options in St. Clair to begin with, but on the way home today I stopped in with 3 of my daughters to eat. it was around 2:30, so we missed the crowd. We walked in and was told we could set wherever we wanted. There were 2 nice flat screens with different football games. Nice touch for a Mexican restaurant. Our waitress took our drink orders and gave us the menu. Pretty typical Mexican restaurant menu. I asked for some cheese dip along with our chips. It was quickly brought to the table and had a little extra kick to the typical white cheese. Good stuff! My girls ordered a burrito, and I had a combination platter that included a burrito, taco, enchilada and chili relleno. Although my expectation walking in was to blow me away. It wasn't the 5 star I was expecting but it was a bit above average for most Mexican restaurants. I will for sure be back. read more

If you are not a fan of fast food chains, and we're not, sometimes, driving cross country can be challenging, because you don't want to drive 10 miles out of your way to get a healthy meal. How lucky we spotted Tres Toritos Mexican restaurant, right off I44 and old route 66. I had the amazing tacos. They were loaded with shredded white meat chicken, delicious queso blanco and lettuce. My husband ordered the fajitas. Again, they were prepared perfectly!! The portions were just enough for 2 very hungry adults. Next time you're passing by St Clair, MO, stop, and say hola! read more

We were on the road back to Texas and decided to get dinner from this little spot and we are SO happy we did. Fresh delicious flavor even for a take out order. The red sauce was probably the best I've ever had and there was a good amount of chicken in both the quesadilla and enchilada. As someone who lives in Texas the tamales here were some of the best I've ever had. read more
