Mexican in Soulard! Seated quickly. Fast & friendly service. Chips were fresh. Salsa was delicious. I suggest Ranchero Chicken Enchiladas👍Watermelon margarita the BEST! Credit cards✔ I recommend.
Deborah Raspberry-HopkinsMay 31, 2016we had the top shelf Margaritas and it was on point. Don't underestimate the chicken wings like I did... the second visit I didn't and made up for only having 2 last visit.
Riverfront TimesAugust 4, 2014The fajita platter and its close appetizer cousins (fajita quesadilla and fajita nachos) are sizzling-steak standouts, as are tacos de Guadalajara. Read more
Order a skinny margarita in a rocks glass and add Grand Marnier for the best margarita with no sour mix. Also, the steak fajitas are where it's at!
One of the best places in STL! Watermelon margarita (or any) and the special (on any night) is the best way to go! Or try any of the steak items, I promise it won't be a let down!!
Ricardo RodriguezJune 18, 2015The food here is great and the margaritas are fantastic, a lot of different flavors to choose from.
B. Kyle BassFebruary 7, 2011Great Mexican place in the heart of Soulard...I personally like the fish tacos and the fajita tacos, but El Mireko is their specialty. Don't want to miss out on that queso!
Christina DobsonOctober 16, 2017Seems like a normal Mexican restaurant. Queso dip very good! Chicken quesadillas very big!
Cynthia GainesFebruary 27, 2019Fajitas, fried tacos, queso, and also their free salsa is really good
Alex HoffmanJanuary 1, 2016Amazing service! Flavorful food and great atmosphere. Highly recommended.
Mary Kim SchaltenbrandSeptember 22, 2015Great atmosphere and awesome food!! Very reasonable and delicious!!
- Love the pulled pork enchiladas, the el mireko,and the margaritas.
Emma MolinareDecember 18, 2013Not a lot of space to stand at the front if you're waiting for a table. You stand right next to other people eating.
Glenn ReigelmanDecember 11, 2010Do yourself a favor and get the bbq quesodilla. Its a local favorite. Tell Courtney I sent you for a special bonus.
Jennifer MeinhardtDecember 11, 2009Their specials are usually the way to go, but I also LOVE the Big Fresh Salad with chipotle dressing- spicy and cool all at once!
Tierney KniggeJune 9, 2012Bean tostadas here are the best! One order is enough to share or save one for later!
Steve DixonJuly 5, 2011Just ate there for the first time today (07/05/2011). Excellent Mexican food. Read more
James RobertsonAugust 3, 2018It’s not a bad place by any means but it gets noisy very easily and the tables are pretty close together. Food is decent- Good food! The fish tacos and build your own burritos are awesome!
GabbyApril 7, 2012Request Laura to be your waitress. Not only is she my best friend, but she's good. :)
Richard WernerJuly 25, 2014Pricy food prepared poorly can’t make decent drink no idea of customer service. If authentic Mexican Restaurant is a third world classless dump serving horse meat, they are there! AVOID THIS DIVE
Jim BarnthouseOctober 15, 2009Do yourself a favor and hit up the steak fajita nachos. The bartender recommended extra cheese. I do the same.
fried tacos are yummy... but hold nothing on the fried cheesecake!!
If you ask nicely, they will make a skinny girl margarita for you!

"The food's not quite as good as El Maguey, but still pretty awesome and it's a cooler atmosphere! They've got a guy who walks around and sings while playing guitar. Our kids love it."

"Consider the duck breast in a light, sweet apricot-bourbon sauce or the tremendous Berkshire pork chop in an apple-brandy demiglace. Also try the steak topped with a poached egg!"
