I ordered 5 tacos and a burrito. They only gave me 2 salsas. Not even filled to top it off. I asked for extra and didn't mind to charge but the lady (not the one who was trainin) was so rude and was just horrible. I'm so disappointed. I used to come here a lot but because of your waitresses I won't return. Don't return if you're a female because they will just be rude to you.

This place is authentic Mexican and so flavorful. There's a Mexican store attached with fun candies and authentic foods. The salsa is different than the usual restaurant with more of a smooth texture and delicious flavor and they give you two different flavors (one is very spicy but both so good). The prices are reasonable and competitive for the portion sizes, and the food is so delicious. This isn't your usual Mexican restaurant with all the Americanized options...you won't find queso cheese dip or standard tomato salsa, it is real Mexican food. They do have many dishes that one would recognize, but just not the American frills. The "636 tradicional" mixed meat fajitas were so flavorful and the meat was perfectly cooked from the steak to the shrimp. My BF got the steak entree and the enchiladas and he said both were so so good. The Tres leches (I'm sure I spelled that wrong) was the best I've ever had! Just so delicious all around with layers of flavor in everything. We've been twice and will keep returning and spreading the word. (Sorry I was too busy enjoying to remember to take photos.)

Great place for traditional Mexican food!

I went there today and didn’t realize that they didn’t open for another hour but they still served us and were super nice so i have to thank them for that. The food is the best mexican around st louis

My favorite Mexican food place to go the food is very good & their customer service is great!!

Chips are usually stale... I hope they get that figured out. Last time the rice was also old.Other than that it's pretty good food for a great price and a great price on draft beer.

First, I was blown away by the salsa. I bought some for home. Then the waitress was amazing. I found things on their menu that you won’t see at other shops, like gorditas. Yum! Great atmosphere/decor while staying casual and the prices were reasonable. When I told the waitress how tasty everything was she said the owner is the chef and takes pride in everything. My only disappointment is that they didn’t have cheese dip. I don’t think it’s on the menu. Maybe because the chef only serves recipes he’s perfected and he hasn’t dabbled in queso dip yet? Still, this is my favorite MX Restaurant. Can’t wait to visit again.

Super disappointed! :-( the last time we ordered take out it was delicious, I had ordered a quesadilla. Yum yum!! But.. This time I got 2 Carne Asada burritos, to go!! I omitted the lettuce and tomato but added sour cream to BOTH yet they only added it to one!! So my husbands burrito was so dry and bland he couldn’t even swish it down with his soda!! Mine wasn’t dry but I kept pulling out fatty pieces! Ewe not fun!! I love Mexican food and I’ll try here again I think I’ll get the Cali burrito next time, see how that pans out!!

I like it... Delicious green and red salsa. I order me Horchata to drink and street tacos, which my tacos had a lot of meet. I enjoyed! Im coming back.

Best authentic food in town. Excellent drinks. Top notch, but like family relaxing atmosphere.
