    I can't rave enough about this Mexican street food place. The food is so authentic and good that I felt like I was in Mexico. I had recently gone to Texas and had Mexican food there and I have to say this place is definitely on par with that. Tucked away off of Page boulevard, in a neighborhood, this place can be considered a hidden gem. When I get there, the customers were mostly Hispanic. That's how you know the food is authentic. The workers don't speak too much English but I was able order with just some basic Spanish. We ordered a mangonada which is a mango slushie/ice cream with chamoy drizzle. One of the best desserts in my opinion. We also ordered some tacos and elote. The tacos were actually very filling. My favorite was the Al pastor taco (marinated pork) though it was slightly salty. Another thing that I absolutely love was the horchata. For $5, they gave us a large cup (32 oz maybe) and it was so delicious. I would come back any day just for the horchata alone. I highly recommend checking out this restaurant. I think it's one of the best Mexican places that St. Louis has to offer.

    Wow I did not know this Mexican place exist. This was our first time here. This place has decent selection of Mexican ice cream and food choices. We went here for snack after eating at a Mediterranean restaurant. The ice cream taste great. The taco is filling and has decent amount of meat. The staff are quick at taking order and they will call your name for you to pick up your food. Plenty of parking in parking lot.will definitely recommend this place for dessert.

    I used to go here for mangonada, but haven't been back in forever. I was surprised when I came back here couple weeks ago. The store was expanded with more tables, very spacious and much cleaner than before. The line was quite long and it moved slow, but the lady took my order was very nice and patient with me since I didn't remember the name of the item I wanted. I ended up getting lengua, chorizo tacos and the chicharon con cueritos. The lengua was very good, I liked it more than the chorizo. I loved the chicharon here more than other places. Mangonada was as good as I remembered.Hibiscus Agua Fresca was refreshing. Overall, this is a great spot for Mexican street foods and ice cream. Highly recommend.

    So good! Every flavor tastes exactly what you expect. There's milk based options, water based, fruit flavors, kids flavors ( like bubblegum - tastes exactly like bubblegum so much so that started chewing the popsicle automatically lol). Any questions, just ask for a rundown of the flavors. Also check out their elote in a cup.

    I am upset at the overall experience with this restaurant. Spent $50 on food that did not meet expectations. The ambiance was nice with Latino music playing and very vibrant. However the service was not good. I would like to preface that I am a native Spanish speaker and that a language barrier was not an issue in this instance. The lady who helped me was not knowledgeable about what went into a burrito and neither was the lady who she asked. I was told a burrito included meat of choice, rice, beans, lettuce, sour cream, and avocado. I did not receive avocado and received onions and cilantro (two things I dislike and explicitly clarified if they came included... I was told they did not). With this, the food is very expensive for what it is almost $14 for a burrito and thin stale French fries. The tacos I ordered were okay, unfortunately received onion and cilantro when I asked them to not include it. My boyfriend and I tried an elote and it had a ridiculous amount of tajin (on the other side of the pictured elote). The elote taste like it was frozen, not sure if it was. Last, the Jamaica tasted like it was made with powder rather than the actual hibiscus flower. As someone from Los Angeles, I really thought this place was going to be an experience that felt like home but it was not. I don't know if I'm going to give it a try again, but hopefully this reviews provides some guidance.

    I was in Saint Louis for work, and found this place by accident. I've been back four times in the last three weeks. Everything I've had has been delicious. The lengua tacos are the best I've ever had. The barbacoa, Al-pastor and asada are just as good. They have unbelievable ice cream too. It's a really packed menu. I'm sure everything else is delicious as well. If you're in the area, do pass this little place by. It's amazing!

    Street tacos for the win!

    Street tacos are to kill for. Chorizo quesadilla was on point as well! So good! Highly recommend.

With that everything else was still good and we made the best of it. There was also a bit of confusion when redeeming my Groupon codes, but the staff worked through it and got everything sorted out, which I appreciated. One thing that was frustrating, though, was the closing time. The store ended up closing an hour earlier than what was posted, and when I asked the employee about it, she just said yes without much explanation. That part felt a little unprofessional and confusing. Overall, it was an okay experience some hiccups, but not terrible. I'd probably give it another try, just hoping for better communication and availability next time.

Well, I guess it's not really $10 worth of ice cream. Certainly, it's not $10 worth of ice cream by 1990s standards. Once, I could go get an entire tub of Schnucks store-brand mint chocolate chip with weirdly strong artificial flavoring (arguably the GOAT ice cream) with the change found between the seat cushions in the station wagon I used to drive. You'd die trying to eat $10 worth of that. Eventually, you might die eating Clementine's. It'll run you, but you get a lot of calories for your dollar. It might even be a good value, depending on how you look at it. They pack it into those little tubs, too. No Diddy. They fill the tub and then they pile it high on top. It's the ol' Five Guys strategy of charging you money out the ass and then giving you more food than you require, as if they're doing you a favor. Uh, thanks? All of the flavors I had were really good, but they were incredibly rich, to the point where after a while they get to be a bit much. They had a mouthfeel almost more along the lines of butter than the cheap ice cream I should be buying (I've been known to eat soft serve from QT), and I'm assuming that's because they have a nutritional profile that's not altogether different. As one of the girls from my running group pointed out, after a while the flavors all kinda run together. Part of it's that they actually melt into each other, and part of it's I'm sure just palette fatigue. I went with three scoops. The ideal order here might be two: enough that you don't feel ripped off, or that you came a long way for nothing, but not so much that you somehow develop delayed onset lactose intolerance in your 40s. Of the three flavors that I had, I liked the Salted Caramel Cookies + Cream, Heritage Mint Chip and Gooey Butter Cake, in that order. But you really can't go wrong with any of those. The Gooey Butter Cake is their signature, but I'm a mint chip brother, as previously discussed. The Salted Caramel Cookies + Cream might be their top flavor. It was my favorite of the ones that I tried, and a girl from our group whose opinion I trust said it's the best.

    One flavor of ice cream available? Not a good starting sign!…read more Now I didn't get as many outdoor pictures this weekend as I had intended... but that's what happens when I heatwave happens in the middle of nowhere right? (But at least I remembered the food photo this time! So I"m not totally on dementia notice yet :) ) But I was having one of those goof-off days, (sorta) spent more than I should have at the World Market (I can't help it! The Sasume soft drinks -ALWAYS- Get me! (the Greatest Japanese invention ever :) ) So I'm REALLY needing Ice-cream. but i mean real ice cream. Then I remembered this place I promised myself I would stop in.. Jilly's. Driven past it a few times, saw it had once gotten a USA today recommendation, and the big sign had "cupcakes, ice cream and coffee" written right there. Go in and there's not really a vibe to the place. There is an ice cream counter and a cup-cake counter, and a couple of soda fridges. The problem is.. I'm going in wanting ice cream, make my way over ot check and there's ONLY ONE tub in the entire case with anything in it. And it's BUTTER PECAN??? I swear, maybe i just need to lower my expectations or something? But then how do I be the best "Yelpee" i can be? Anyway enough about the introspective for now. So I'm here, let's see what else we can have problems with today, shall we? The "coke" fridge has a limited supply of drinks.. I guess the stockers hadn't run yet today? (so -1 star for no ice cream/drinks). Well, it's a heatwave, so coffee's out. and that just leaves Cupcakes.... and wow.. these things are HUGE! And that's just the cupcake, that's not counting the icing on top! Basically, two entirely different layers.. one for the cake and one for the frosting.. (talk about a sugar coma!) Anyway, time to take a pack of 4 to go... (the sit down locale wasn't really much to my recollection, it just seemed "there" as if this wasn't a good day as I don't' recall a lot of the amenities as shown in most Yelpers photos., or I was just too hot to notice. ). so it's grab and go... And I realize, just looking at them; this is not one of those deserts you can eat and drive, so maybe a full sealed rack is a good thing right?) I make it home and wouldn't you know it; I forgot that cupcakes were actually "Stuffed".. Surprise!! 3 deserts in one! Cake, Filling, and Icing! Anyway, I don't even make it all the way through the first cupcake as a whole before I realize... Yep, Sugar Coma all the way! Basically, you've been warned you can order more than 1 cupcake to yourself, but count on leftovers if you do!! Anyway, I finally snapped out of my sugar coma and got around to writing things before i go for another sugar coma (dont' forget, I ordered 4 cupcakes!!). So yes these things are huge and they are priced a little more than usual cupcakes, but absolutely worth every penny So IRONICALLY, if i had gone in for Cupcakes alone... this would be a 5* review. As I was originally going for ice cream (And am so OVER butter pecan), 4 *'s it is at least for me. but we've given you the steps to get your own 5* time at Jilly's!

    OMG. These are great! I thought the decor was nice, the service was great, and shamefull went back…read morethe next day for more. You'd never expect something so cute too be so good!

    Carreta's is the closest thing I have to a "local"--the place where I go after my shift at the post…read moreoffice to drink watery, domestic beer and make slightly inappropriate remarks to the waitstaff. My parents eat there on the reg, though not so much the past couple of years, after they implemented their controversial policy of shrinking portion sizes and increasing prices at the same time. Uh, whose idea was that? I have an idea. Let's just say he's not very good at riding a bicycle. I've eaten there literally a million times since it opened up 10 or 15 years ago. Before that, we used to eat at the place in Olivette that was once a Ponderosa, El Paisano or whatever. I don't think they're related, but when that place closed, a handful of employees came over to Carreta's. That was years ago, and they're now long gone. Hopefully, they weren't shipped off to El Salvador. I hear it's not safe there. More recently, we've been eating at a place a bit further west on Olive that was once a Houlihan's. Noticing a trend? Carreta's must be feeling the effects, because they've remodeled and added a few new menu items, some of which will be familiar to Barrel House patrons. The remodel seems to mostly have been a matter of applying a fresh coat of paint and turning the dim switch up to its absolute brightest. It used to be dark in there, like at a fancy restaurant. Now it's like Kmart circa 1986. I didn't check to see if a blue light had been installed in the ceiling, nor did I make it back to near the restrooms to see if they've still got that influencer wall. The menu has been reprinted, and I'm sure they took advantage of the opportunity to jack up prices even further. Many of the old favorites remain, and I'm not sure what, if anything, they removed to make room for the small handful of new items. I saw that they still have the carnitas, my old go-to. It's the only pork item on the menu. If you're familiar with the area, you can probably do the math on that one. Most importantly, they've added Birria, only about 10 years after it became trendy. What's next, a smashburger? A pumpkin spice latte? I've had Birria at a number of places, here in the STL and elsewhere, and in a few different preparations, and it's never not been good. It kinda is the Mexican food equivalent of the smashburger, in that regard. An order of three will run you $16, and it doesn't come with anything other than the consommé and a ramekin of tomatillo salsa. Just the three tacos wasn't the most filling meal I've ever had, but it wasn't half bad, for there not being any sides or anything. They stuff those tacos full with mostly just meat (along with cheese, onions and cilantro), and I'd imagine it's roughly as caloric as eating half the produce aisle at the grocery store. It's so good. I figured it would be kinda mediocre but nevertheless enjoyable, because I thought I had this place pegged, but credit where credit is due. They've exceeded expectations. This was one of the best things I've ever had in a Mexican restaurant. If they don't let the quality slip or try to charge literally $1,000 for it, I could honestly see it becoming a huge hit. What do you know? This place might manage to stay in business just yet, despite the newer, fancier place down the street.
