The food here is amazing. I went around 9 so the kitchen was closed, but I got the coconut ice cream 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. read more

Lunch outing today took us to La Vecindad Paleteria, a place we've been waiting to try. It was a little 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! read more

My friend and I decided to try this place out for dinner one day and were pleasantly surprised by what we got. I ordered a lengua burrito and she had the carne asada taco and a tamale. I enjoyed my burrito and fries-- I thought the burrito was a tad bland but nothing a bit of hot sauce couldn't fix. The portions were very generous and there was a lot of meat on the taco as well. There was a bit of a language barrier with ordering but the cashier and staff were all very nice. We did end up googling some of the menu item for clarification though. There is a lot of seating in the back room as well as in the front room. Overall very reasonable prices, good flavor, and nice portion sizes. Will plan on coming back! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Seeing a Mangonada on the menu is a rarity! The tacos were packed full ingredients, fresh and authentic! Will definitely be back!

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Never knew it was there. This is my old neighborhood that I grew up in. I have recommended this restaurant to all my friends and people traveling through St. Louis phenomenal food phenomenal service at a reasonable price. their Horchata is to die for. read more

I love that I found this great street taco place just minutes away. I had the chicken street tacos, so good. As a sweet treat I tried the mango popsicle and it was very delicious. For my drink, there was some mango pop in the fridge in the dining room that is off to the side. I wanted to try the mango chunk dessert but will have to do that next time. I want to have my sister come with me so we can order several items to try. The banana splits are so happy ded over the counter looked amazing! The staff was friendly though was a slight language barrier, but that can be managed with patience. The restaurant was clean and the the dining off to the side makes it nice and roomy. A trip back, definitely with my sister is a must! read more

Great local restaurant with authentic food, the best coconut ice cream and friendly service.

I love this place there mangonada's are to die for! I was on a road trip and this place was definitely worth the stop!

I decided I wanted ice cream and just did a search to find an ice cream shop near my route home from a friend's house. I'd never heard of this place and I wasn't really knowledgeable about the area but I decided to give it a try. I ordered the banana split and it was so delicious. It was so good I forgot to take a picture until I had already snarfed half of it down. The ice cream was outstanding. They had exotic flavors and tried and true favorites. They also had the most stunning looking popsicles. I didn't try them because that banana split was huge, but next time, for sure I will. The prices were fair and the restaurant was clean. I found the staff to be friendly and helpful. Give this place a try. It's a little different than a Baskin Robbins and a bit off the beaten path but I really think you'll enjoy it. Oh! And they have a ton of different nachos too. For sure I'll be back! read more

My favorite place to go for elotes and ice cream! It feels so authentic, and the owners are super nice!

While, I couldn't understand quite a few of the menu items due to the language barrier, I was not going to let that stop me from trying their ice cream. There was at least one thing I understood, "banana split." The gentleman working the counter was extremely friendly, and understood the order perfectly. You get to select one scoop of three different flavors, any you like. The strawberry was to die for! All the ice creams and popsicles are homemade, and it comes across strongly in the flavors. He didn't hold back when it came to the whipped cream, pecans, and rainbow sprinkles either, which is always a plus in my book. I plan on going back to try more menu items very soon. One note: make sure you have cash on hand, as they do not accept other forms of payment. read more

Ice cream is good. My only issue was the language barrier. Everything on the menu when I walked in was in Spanish. They knew what I wanted when made my order though. read more
