I always order carne asada street tacos. Comes with red/green salsa, not too spicy on the side. You can add onions and cilantro, not overwhelming. I'm Mexican so that says alot. Been going here for 2 decades. Street taco prices!! When you are inside, you feel like being in Mexico Overall a WONDERFUL experience to add to your life ...

I have been patronizing El Caporal for 15+ years now. This is such a great lunch spot, and their…read moremarket has a lot of niche items that are difficult to find elsewhere. The food is fantastic. Try a torta and a taco, pick your protein, and a sugar-cane Coke in a bottle! Add a little green sauce and WHAMO! The best lunch in St Charles! The family that runs it is extremely friendly, and they are always prepared to graciously accommodate us english-only speakers. This is NOT full service dining - you need to bus your own table and grab your own drinks. Not doing so is considered impolite. They bring your food out to you. Please keep this in mind when visiting.

Midtowne does not have the largest produce section but the meat section definitely makes up for this. My husband and I will typically get most of our meats at Midtowne because they have a good selection and they have great prices! The store is always clean and organized and the staff are very friendly and helpful when I need it. Midtowne also has good hours and are open 6-10 daily. This is a great neighborhood grocery store!

I come to Mannino's almost every week to purchase lunch meat and raw meat, but I'm becoming…read moreincreasingly concerned about the sanitation practices at the meat counter. There are several young employees who repeatedly fail to change their gloves when going from handling raw meat to slicing lunch meat. I have personally had to remind them to change their gloves on multiple occasions. Today, I watched the same employee pack raw ground beef for another customer and then, without changing his gloves, go directly to the lunch meat counter and begin slicing her lunch meat. This is especially concerning because I have personally reminded this employee of the need to change gloves in the past. Handling raw ground beef and then ready-to-eat lunch meat with the same gloves is a serious cross-contamination concern. I really like shopping at Mannino's, but management needs to address this immediately and make sure employees are properly trained and following basic food-safety practices. I would hate to see someone get sick because these procedures aren't being followed.

I've always wanted to go into The English Shop but I've never been to Main Street during their…read morebusiness hours. I finally made it on a recent Thursday afternoon. It's kind of odd merchandise to be selling on St. Charles Main Street but I like it. They have a small selection of English teas, candies, and other nonperishable groceries. I went for the candy, obviously. Smarties, Cadbury, and a Twirl caught my eye. I spent a summer in Oxford when I was young and grew very fond of these candies. You can get them other places but nowhere that I know of in St. Charles. I'll be back next time I'm on Main Street!

I spent some time in London a few years ago and was happy to find some of the teas and crisps I liked when I was there. If you collect tea cups, hold on to your wallet because you can really stock up here (for a price). The parking is in street and it often is in short supply, but...you will want to stroll up and down the street to see all the great shops, restaurants, and coffee places...do no big deal.

I've explored a few different charcuterie businesses across St. Louis, and this was one of my favorites. I received it as a surprise, but I liked it so much it was like I picked it out myself. The presentation was wonderful, and packing it all into a pretty box made it easy to transport (you know, during the long journey from the kitchen to in front of the fireplace.) I was so blown away at the selections. There was SO MUCH CHEESE, so many varieties of meats, and lots of chocolate, meringues, crackers, olives, honey, and more. It was seriously such a fun charcuterie box and was extremely well-curated. You can order online and they also have the coolest "charcuterie cones" for just $10 that would make really great gifts. The have a lot of different box sizes to satisfy price points. They do offer delivery, but I believe you can pick up a box if you fall outside of the delivery area. I am a huge fan and will be placing an order for a date night soon!
