    HOW CAN YOU MESS THIS UP
    Ms M.

    Save your money and go to another restaurant. This place literally made me sick. It was a waste of money and it was the most disgusting Mexican food I have ever had. You can see from my prior reviews that I seldom give bad reviews because I like to support businesses. However, this place is disgusting and I'm surprised it is still open for business. Even the salsa was nasty and soured as if it had been sitting in the refrigerator six months past its expiration date. It genuinely made me sick and forced me to spend more time in the bathroom than I should have! All for making the terrible decision to eat lunch at this Mexican restauran - save yourself and choose a different location.

    Appetizer Sampler: Chicken Wings, 2 Cheese Quesadilla slices, 2 Chicken Quesadilla slices, 2 Chicken Taquitos
    Jennifer C.

    Have visited a couple times over the last few months. 1 dine in experience and 1 online order experience. The food is prepared quickly! If you don't have alot of time, go here! The online order took 7 min to be ready and the dine in maybe took just a few min longer than that. Dine in, I had the Sampler. It comes with 4 wings, 2 triangles of cheese quesadilla, 2 triangles of chicken quesadilla and 2 chicken flautas. It's tasty, but the chicken flautas are dry. These need a sauce, so make sure to get some. To go order, chicken wings and beef tacos, all of it great! They have really good chicken wings!

    Chicken Chimi Lunch Special

    Stopped by here a few days ago for one of their lunch specials, and it was great. The service was excellent, and it gave me a chance to practice my 8th grade Spanish. I'll definitely be going back.

    This location just reopened and I went with a couple friends during the dinner hour. We were seated immediately and our waiter was pretty attentive. Our chips and salsa were brought out very quickly and we didn't have to pay for any of that. My prickly pear margarita was perfect, on the rocks and well balanced in flavor. I would definitely order it again. My shrimp chimichanga appeared to be small to me for some reason but I barely finished it. It was fully loaded with delectable shrimp. I'm always happy with a side of rice and beans. So in short, pay them a visit if you're in the area for lunch or dinner.

    The Food was delicious. I had the shrimp Fajitas and my girlfriend had the chicken nachos. The service was terrific! The staff were very friendly and greeted us when we came through the door. The ambiance was nice and trendy, with sports on the televisions. Loved it!

    OMG.... Thumbs up to this restaurant. This restaurant is a hidden gem.... I had no idea this Mexican restaurant with such great food was here in Florissant.... I went around 4pm to beat the dinner crowd and I'm a small town girl that like small crowds. When you first walk in you are greeted nicely by the staff. The restaurant was not crowded like I like.... They seated me promptly. Once seated they immediately brought out my chips and salsa, then moments later my margarita... I was starving when I got there so I barely touched my margarita I just munched on the chips and salsa.... Then about 5 minutes later my main course was there.... Service was superb. The food was delicious. I highly recommend this place for date night or a loner like myself. The restaurant is decorated nicely and you can people watch or listen to music playing at the restaurant for added entertainment.

    El Maguey Florissant is the newest location in Florissant. It is back open after being closed for a little while. We decided to go Friday evening after work. Both drink specials but they do have a small pitcher of margarita reasonable priced. You can mix flavors so I got the frozen passion fruit and peach margarita mixed. You can get them frozen or on the rocks. This was delicious. We were seated as soon as we came in and the restaurant was crowded at all when we first arrived but as the night went on more people came in. Service was immediate and the waitress took our order quickly. I had the Pappas locas with chicken instead of beef. This is my go to. It was delicious with the jalapenos. The portions are a good size, enough for 2 to share. I will be back

    One of my favorite Mexican restaurants to go to. The customer service is always great, the food is always fresh and good and the drinks are always on point. I have never had a bad experience here! The restaurant is always clean, well-staffed, and bright.

We waited, others came in was told about the wait and left, one had a party of 10, was told they dont do more than 6 max at a party. They left. While waiting we saw probably 30 people leave. The staff had no hustle and disappeared for long periods. Sit people down, even with being short staffed, get them a drink and let them wait at a table rather than leave. You let $1000+ escape by letting people walk. Ok, the food, Took a while for drinks to show up, The bread was very good. Wife ordered the Parm encrusted chicken, I ordered the Ribeye mid rare, over char grill not flat top. We had Onion Petals as an app. App arrived cold, Salads same time app was brought out, would have been nice to have a few minutes in between. Croutons are horrendous way over seasoned. Parm encrusted chicken was so salty was inedible. Steak came from flat top and had no flavor or seasoning. Manager came by and told us the chicken is always sent back more than any other dish due to being salt brined every morning. Corporates call on that. Manager seemed like she wanted to do whats right but hands are tied by corporate rules. Overall a disappointing experience

Spot House interestingly offers a wide variety of dishes from burgers, tacos, and sandwiches but obviously I came for the Vietnamese specials. I got a bowl of Hu Tieu aka Phnom Penh noodles soup and it was delicious. Definitely one of the best ones that I have had in the States. I enjoyed it so much that I wanted to go back already. If you are a fan of Bánh Xèo then you would love its smaller cousin Bánh Khọt. These crispy Vietnamese pancakes came in bite-sized pieces topped with shrimp and ground pork. This dish is a specialty that you can't normally find around St. Louis area. It's definitely a crowd's favorite and I loved every single bite. Highly recommend that you order this dish. Typically, you would enjoy this with some fresh lettuce and herbs and you would dip the pancake in fish sauce, the liquid gold that elevates the whole dish. If I had to nitpick about one thing, it would be Cơm Gà, the rice and fried chicken leg dish. The chicken was dry and a little bit blend, albeit super crispy. You really gotta dowse it with fish sauce to make it taste better. However, I did enjoy the yellow rice. The rice on the other hand was very well-seasoned. Overall, Spot House might be my new favorite Vietnamese spot in the STL area! Cant wait to come back.

I ordered the Hot Honey wings, but what I received looked nothing like Hot Honey. When I questioned the order, the waiter insisted they were "Cajun." After looking at the menu later, I realized Cajun isn't even listed as one of the wing flavors. Instead of checking with the kitchen or offering to correct the order, I was simply told that was what I ordered. The wings were also dry and overcooked, and my French onion soup was served cold. By that point, I had lost confidence in the meal. I understand that mistakes happen in restaurants. What disappointed me most wasn't just the food, it was the way my concern was handled. A simple apology or an offer to verify the order would have completely changed my experience. As a first-time customer, this was not the impression I was hoping for. I hope Mattingly's takes customer feedback seriously and improves both its food quality and customer service.
