The food here is amazing. I went around 9 so the kitchen was closed, but I got the coconut ice…read morecream and mangonada--both were delicious. The people there were very nice and very quick despite my broken attempt at practicing spanish. I also really enjoyed the calm seating arrangement and different options for places to sit and eat. Overall, really good. I'm excited to try their food next time.

Lunch outing today took us to La Vecindad Paleteria, a place we've been waiting to try. It was a…read morelittle busy when we walked in, which we didn't mind. Great sign to us that people love coming here. We ordered the chicken flautas, shrimp tacos, a barbacoa taco, elote in a cup, and a strawberry Agua fresca. The food was wonderful! My favorite was the chicken flautas. They were very crisp but the chicken inside was so moist. The toppings and the salsa was a wonderful addition. They really need to bottle and sell that salsa. It was some of the best we've had. I'm a non beef eater but my husband said the barbacoa was . He said it was hard to determine his favorite between that and the flautas but if he had to choose it's the barbacoa because it was juicy and very flavorful. It also held together well in the corn tortillas. He wished he ordered more than one. The strawberry Agua fresca was very tasty. It reminded me of a strawberry milkshake. The portions are so plentiful and the menu has so many choices. We are looking forward to trying new things. We were so full we didn't get to try desserts, as it is a Paleteria, but we will most definitely be back!

Abuela serving up homemade ice cream and frozen novelties. The space is absolutely adorable!…read moreService is great and helpful. The menu includes homemade ice cream in a variety of flavors including traditional Mexican flavors. They also offer a large selection of ice pops. The ice cream is rich and delicious. The ice pops are well flavored. Definitely worth a stop in on these warm summer nights.

I picked up my lunch from here today, and it was absolutely delicious. I placed my order in advance…read moreand it was ready at the promised time, so I was able to get in and out very quickly. The staff was nice and the restaurant was clean with plenty of seating for those dining in. This is one of the only truly authentic Mexican restaurants in the area. I got one each of the asada and pastor tacos, they were fabulous. They come with plenty of onion and cilantro on top, as well as an almost creamy salsa. Zero complaints. I gave the shrimp ceviche a try as well--the flavor was on point, however the avocado had seen better days. The shrimp was still a little gray as well. It was a very generous portion though, for one tostada--definitely not complaining! ;) I'm excited to eat my way through this menu--so, so happy to see more authentic cuisines in the Saint Charles area.

Their chicken nacho was so refreshing - I loved the seasoning the chicken was marinated in. The…read morecheese sauce wasn't a white queso but was still SO good - when I saw that it was yellow I was scared it would taste like the canned stuff but it didn't! It was creamy and delicious. The pico de gallo was so flavorful & the perfect compliment to the dish. Also got two chicken tacos with the traditional cilantro onion lime and salsa verde. That salsa was so so good but definitely has heat to it so I'm glad I started with a small amount. I love that they are also a shop so you can buy Mexican staples and dried chili peppers and things like that. Looking forward to trying some other things they offer! The staff was really nice too.

I realized I posted my original review from an old account with no followers, so I'm reposting it…read morehere because this place deserves more attention. O'Fallon really doesn't appreciate them enough! The food is always fresh, the service is great, and the prices are solid. I usually take my order home and it still tastes just as good when I get there, but they do have tables out front if you want to eat on-site. I've also never had a single issue with any of the delivery services; my order is always on point. Try the flan.

The only thing I dislike about this place is that the tacos are so good that I forget the salsa…read morealmost every time. By the time I realize it, I've only got a couple bites left, so then I'm just drinking the salsa so it doesn't go to waste loll. As you can see by the amount of photos I've posted, I eat here pretty often, most of the time the camera doesn't even get a bite. And honestly, this might be the first place I trust enough to try lengua... which is happening very soon

My previous review was for the baked good items, and well, the actual Filipino food was lacking and…read moreI was incredibly disappointed. I think they miss the mark on FLAVOR and what makes Filipino food unique. It seems like a watered down version of Pinoy and I'm not sure I would come back for their entrees. I ordered pancit and pinakbet and OH MAN, it was just OK. The pinakbet had no bagoong (shrimp paste), and the pancit was missing... any type of flavor. Pandesal is still really good so if you need baked goods, just visit for that.

Yummy food! Place is small to dine in, but we came in the right time where there's not a lot of…read morecustomers. Food is served in karindaria style like the Philippines. I love the menudo. It was delicious. I also loved the Turon, never had it in a stick before. I like that the halo-halo has a lot of ube and the ingredients reminded me of the Mang Inasal halo-halo, but I'm not a fan of the vanilla ice-cream. Much preferably have it in ube like the ones in the Philippines. I assume ube is expensive imported here. Nonetheless, it's still good!

Super delicious, fast and friendly service!! Can't wait to go back and try more things. Had the…read moretorta and it was awesome. Edit: now I've tried their tacos (Al pastor, chorizo, and asada) and I wish I could give them 100 stars. WOW, tacos were out of this world! Can't wait to come back here many more times, I'm lucky to have them so close to my school.

We're regular here. It's a small family owned restaurant. I'm pretty picky when it comes to tacos…read moreand this place never fails me. I usually ordered the lengua with grilled onion and added avocado. Chorizo tacos is also very good here. Besides tacos, I'd recommend their coconut icecream, and torta.

Great fresh and fast!…read more I love this chain of fast fresh food. The smoothies were bright and nicely sized for the price. The kids meal is perfect for toddlers under 3. The little limeberry smoothie was like a strawberry limeade though. The pesto and chicken flatbread sandwich was delicious with a fresh mango magic smoothie. The entrance is not accessible. You have to park and walk up by the barbershop for a curb cut. The inside is accessible and the store has high tops and regular chairs even high chairs for the littles which is rare.

So, we drove all the way to this location (20 minutes away) only to have my drink made incorrectly! Manager/owner said I could drive all the way back for an exchange.

Poor service, mediocre food, and okay margaritas... sums up my first (and last) visit to El Maguey…read more I was excited to see they had several patio seats open when we arrived, since it was a summer Saturday night. However, when I asked if we could sit outside, the hostess simply said that they were only sitting people indoors. I then watched them seat other parties on the patio after they already sat us inside... Our waitress was not friendly at all, taking forever to even get our drink order and ignored us for most of the visit. The food and drinks were fine, but they were nothing spectacular. Overall, the food was really overpriced and the service was terrible. Do not recommend, there's plenty of other Mexican restaurants in town that will treat you much better and have way tastier food!
