Good service & food quality We had a very kind server who made good recommendations. We wished we ordered the Birria tacos "crispy" instead of American style. The chicken in the fajitas was very good but the peppers could have used more spice, still a good pick. However, next time I'll request more seasoning. read more

The food was good the service was ok but then the bill came it was very disappointing. They add an automatic 20% gratuity but it's not posted anywhere. I asked the service about it and she said it's something they automatically do but it's not posted. I asked her to take it off and she said it's not possible. I asked to speak to the manager she replied he wasn't there and would call. Five minutes later I just paid the bill. The gratuity wasn't the problem, adding it and having no was to remove it is. read more

El Mariachi Loco Cantina - Automatic add gratuity with no way to remove it. - Mexican Near Me - Bridgeton, Missouri

Authentic Mexican cuisine, there are many great options for entrees, appetizers, margaritas & a variety of other cocktails. Recently renovated, the dining experience is casual & cozy, with a warm, friendly & professional staff. We've never had to wait to be seated, & by the time we briefly snacked on the complimentary chips & salsa, our dinner was always delivered to our table, freshly made & piping hot. This is a local, family restaurant & I strongly recommend checking it out. We've been dining here for years & have never been disappointed. Great people & great food! read more

Good grief. Everything is perfect. The salsa, the friendly service, the stunning tamales poblano. I am a snob about Mexican food being a lifelong southern Colorado guy. This place gets it right. read more

El Mariachi Loco Cantina - Amazing tacos - Mexican Near Me - Bridgeton, Missouri

Went for an early dinner, with friends. Easily located off St. Charles Rock Road. We were there early, seating was not an issue, but they do have a nice dining area. Food was very good. I had the Mariachi plate, a friend had the fish tacos, and then one had the carne asada tacos. All of them would be options for future order. The staff were friendly and helpful, love when they give actual suggestions. Would recommend!! read more

Excellent food! Salsa and chips were fresh and light. I loved my chicken enchiladas verde--sauce was very fresh and light. Kids loved their quesadillas and burritos and my husband ate every last bit of his fish tacos. Yum!! read more

Best kept secret on Natural Bridge Rd near Highway 270. Much, much better than its competitor; Chimi's. This place has FLAVOR!! They serve fresh food. Server was excellent. Food and Margarita was excellent. Ambiance was excellent. Makes me wonder why that other place is so crowded and this place is not. On a scale of 1-10; that other place is a negative 1 compared to this place which is 10 plus!! Highly recommend. read more

This restaurant was close in the area to my kids' after school program and I wanted a Paloma, they're one of my favorite cocktails. A Paloma is a tequila drink with lime juice and grapefruit flavored soda. The one served in the photo has a chili-lime seasoning Tajín on the rim with a lime garnishment. And mmmmm it was yummy! The sourness from the drink and that seasoning mixed together gives a sour and spicy taste to it. I ordered two soft tacos with fajita veggies and guacamole. I didn't want a meat protein, but I wanted my taco to still be filling and that's why I chose fajita veggies because they're cut pretty big and the portion size is perfect. Also, I absolutely love avocados so I needed to have guacamole added to it. Considering I wanted something light and quick to eat - mission accomplished. There was one gentleman working about 4 tables with only a couple of people seated at them when I arrived. You couldn't tell he was the only waiter because the food and drinks still arrived in great timing. The parking lot was pretty light, but as I was leaving - about 3 cars were parking. So clearly I'm caught on to a really good Mexican restaurant. I will definitely stop by again! read more

So good! Got the birria tacos and they were delicious, generous serving and great flavor! Don't just this place by its looks!

So so good! In town for a hockey tournament and found this gem near our hotel and we were not disappointed. Our waitress was amazing and attentive! The food was so fresh and well cooked. The shrimp had an amazing seasoning on it and they were such big shrimp and so well cooked. The husband got the ground beef burrito and was very very happy with it. I would recommend any day of the week!! read more

Yes. Yes. And double yes. Thx for reviews to get a guy to pull into the sketch parking lot. I was Looking for killer marg, chips, and fish tacos before hitting STL airport. This place rules. Don't tell anyone. The only thing that could make this place worse is if everyone found out about it and they stopped offering killer service big margs and unbelievable food. Thank you. See you soon. read more

I cannot believe I haven't reviewed this place; I was positive I did it years ago. This is our (husband and I) favorite Mexican restaurant and actually our favorite place in the area. The service is always good, unlike many Bridgeton/St. Ann restaurants we've been to. Today it was absolutely perfect. Their presentation is pretty nice, too. The chips are kept warm, free refills on them, and the salsa is good. My go-to is the fish tacos; they're delicious--the fish, the mango, and the chipotle aioli. It's not mentioned on the menu, but you can have corn or flour tortillas. I've also had the mariachi burrito a few times, as well as the queso, the choriqueso, and the sopapilla--all great. I've wanted to try other entrees, but every time I'm in there, the fish tacos are calling me! The queso was a little thin, at least today, which made it drip a lot on it's way to the mouth, but it was still tasty. My husband used to get a quesadilla, which he liked, but he switched to the mariachi fajitas, and he's in love. The meat (steak, chicken, shrimp) is all so good, especially the shrimp. I may try the shrimp tacos next time, because the shrimp from my husband's plate is so fantastic. We brought another couple from St. Charles once, and they later told me they went back on their own, because it was so good. We've also brought a couple other individuals, and they loved it, too. The only thing we're not such a fan of are the beans; it'd be nice if they switched them out for another. But when we ask, they have let us change our bean side to extra rice, a salad, or extra sour cream. We have and will keep coming back here time and time again. They never seem busy, we hope they're doing well financially, because we don't want them to close! read more

Cute spot with fantastic cheese dip. We put hamburger in ours. Enchiladas were good . Staff were nice and drinks looked great.

Their service was excellent and the food was even better, I highly recommend them. You won't disappointed

Seriously good grub- and a great value. Second time at this place and both times the food was exceptional. read more

Service is exceptional, food is excellent and atmosphere is casual and fun. It's our go-to when we're in the mood for authentic Mexican

They served my husband and I cold rice and beans and when I asked for it to be replaced either by warming it up or give fresh beans and rice. They denied the service and tried to charge us. DONT COME HERE, don't respect customers or poor service. read more

It was a Monday and I was looking for street tacos unsuccessfully. After two other tries at places evidently closed on Monday I struck El Mariachi Loco. Not much traffic at high noon. Though they did not have it on the menu they allowed me to try all three of their tacos in combination with some rice. Pastor, Asada and Carnitas. They started me out with chips and salsa fit for gringos like myself crisp chips snd salsa was not too hot. The tacos were served on a big cutting board with rice. Although they put peas in the Mexican rice, they were easily removed. The Pastor was best with juicy chunks of pork and Pineapple which I have come to love. The Asada was also excellent. The carnitas was unremarkable but passable and al three were complimented by a nice Verde that was not too Hot but left a pleasing burn on the palette that did not last too long. Friendly service. Clean and quick. 15 bucks for 3 tacos, salsa and chips and a tea. Solid effort. read more

Good food, but the restaurant itself could stand a refresh. Hopefully the food quality pulls them forward to the point to achieve a shift in ambiance. read more

Customer service was pretty good, and the food overall great. I got the chicken fajitas and the chicken was outstanding! The rice and beans were good too. The only things were that they were a bit over priced for the location and the red salsa tasted like marinara sauce you'd put on your pizza or spaghetti which was gross. But overall a cute little place. read more

Do not sleep on this place. Woke up hungover beyond belief and the building caught my eye on my journey to find soul restoring food. Upon arrival I was a bit skeptical but once the doors open I knew this was going to be some kill. We we're seated promptly and offered drinks off the bat. Most of the time, in this state, I would refuse anything to do with alcohol. However, the first thing that caught my eye was their house margarita. For the size, taste, and cost....it's a no brainer. Now for the food, I went with the chorizo nachos and my wife went the grilled chicken taco salad. We had to fend each other off from finishing one another's plate. We did not succeed in finishing either. This is for good reason, the portions are AMAZING. Our waitress and staff were very kind and were not pushy in the slightest. Maria was a sweetheart and did her job very well. She has a natural talent of knowing how to up-sell her menu. Timing was perfect. Gentlemen, they will (and always should) talk you into getting a desert. Do yourself a favor and get the sopillas. Had an excellent time and the food/service was what made the difference. Come to el mariachi loco if you want a heap of food, amazing service, and remedy for a nasty headache. 10/10 will be back read more

The food is the best. I have never had better fish tacos even in a COASTAL town. I've gone to beaches all around the world and nothing compares to these fish tacos. Seriously the food is AMAZING. Go here. read more

Food was mediocre. Chips cost extra. Has 20% service charge added. Don't recommend. Will not visit again.

Food was excellent. My wife had a shrimp dish she loved. I has the Burrito Mariachi, which I enjoyed. We come here whenever we go out for Mexican. read more

Great service providing great flavor. Recommend the tacos, especially El Pastor. Not your cart blanche restaurant.

Small quaint place with excellent service and tasty food. Salsa wasn't hot enough but we're from Texas and we're hard to please. Would definitely go back! read more

We stopped in for dinner. We had Carne Asada (steak) tacos that came with rice and beans. Even though the steak was diced it still required a great deal of effort to chew. We also had the steak fajitas, which oddly enough the steak was a bit more chewable but the steak was very bland. The rice was bland. The beans were not good, kinda of soupy. THEN when we get our bill they Added a Eighteen percent fee! ( And no there were only two of us $37) Umm excuse me! I will always tip 20% but you don't just charge me a fee like that! So that sealed the deal for me not to return! read more

There was absolutely no other customers at the restaurant when we stopped in for lunch at noon on a Saturday afternoon. My husband thought this place was El Magueys & we stopped in to eat because he's been there before. When we left he realized that El Magueys was a few spots down from here & the place we ate at was actually El Mariachi Loco! I am so glad he made this mistake. The food was excellent! He got the carnitas nachos, I got enchiladas & my son got the kids Mac & cheese (which I thought would be from a box but was clearly not!) It was all so delicious. The salsa was superb & the service was great!!! We will definitely be back next time we pass through the area! read more

My husband and I have been eating here for several years now. We keep coming back for the authentic Mexican food (my husband is obsessed the mariachi taco plate!), excellent service, and relaxed atmosphere. It is never overcrowded or too loud. We have never had a bad experience! This past weekend, several family members came into town and wanted to go out to eat. El Mariachi Loco was my first choice! I called ahead to make sure they could accommodate our group of 22 (including several small children) and they set us up in a semi-private area. It was so perfect, the kids could move around a bit without annoying other patrons and we were all able to visit with one another. The servers were extremely patient with us and went above and beyond to take care of us. They even brought out glow sticks for the little ones! My family members were very impressed with the food, I think every single person loved what they ordered. Specific items that received rave reviews were the queso dip, shrimp tacos, and tortas. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu, everything is always fresh and delicious. To add to the great customer service, one of the servers took a group photo for us before we left. This place is such a gem and we are so lucky to live so close by! read more

I discovered this place while in town from Texas, which if you know anything about Texas, we take our Mexican food pretty seriously. I have traveled out of state many times, and usually anywhere outside of Texas misses the mark by a wide margin - this place is an exception. While I agree with the assessment of the salsa being a little marinara like, it is still tasty, albeit not what you're accustomed to. I visited this location on my first visit to STL when I was looking for a restaurant near the airport to lay my head for a few hours; I have now returned at every successive visit as well! The food is delicious, & the staff is always super nice. It's usually just one guy handling front of house during the day, & he knew what I wanted to drink immediately when I returned for the second time to this restaurant - that is what I call customer service! I will return any time I am in the area, and encourage friends to visit this place if they are ever in town looking for a nice, low-key place for a delicious bite to eat ! read more

Love - love eating here. The food is always well prepared...fresh with nicely balanced flavors. We've been pleased with everything we've ordered and we're tough on Mexican food - having eating western authentic for years, where from scratch, hand press tortillas are the norm. This is the best Mexican food we've found in the StL region. We've become regulars. Plus, the margaritas are tasty with buzz quality, made with GOOD tequila, not low rail liquor. The manager and serve staff are always friendly and accommodating. We also appreciate that this restaurant is kept CLEAN and has a nice open ambiance. This is a hidden gem which deserves 5 stars! Definitely worth your eating time. read more

I used to love this place. On one occasion I found a long hair in my cheese. They quickly replaced it. I went back several months later and I found unfair business practices. ...
