    The complementary chips and salsa were so good.
    Michael S.

    Go just for the complementary chips and salsa! Really, they're that good. We were in a small group for dinner. Mi Lupita servers were on top of things throughout the meal. No fewer than three employees stopped by at different times to confirm our needs were met. Dishes came out correctly and there were no complaints about any entree. My taco salad had an abundance of shredded chicken that i would have preferred had more seasoning. But that was my preference. Another diner might have found it just right.

    Spicy margarita

    Outstanding! I had not been here in several years and Mi Lupita is my now favorite Mexican restaurant in west county. The fresh squeezed margarita was fantastic. The spicy margarita was one of the best. Fresh food was a delicious change compared to other competitive restaurants. I highly recommend the margaritas as an appetizer and to pair with the main course. This is a five star gem. Will be back.

    I ordered the beef fajitas. The beef needed more seasoning like garlic powder, onion powder and lime juice. Most of the meat was tender. I had a very friendly young man as my server who did a great job. This is a cozy restaurant at Manchester and New Ballwin. There's plenty of parking in the lot in front of the restaurant.

    Cali Burrito with steak and side order of beans and rice.

    Mi Lupita was next on our list to try in the STL area. Located in a shopping center in Ballwin, MO it's one of the few Mexican restaurants in the area. Traditional decor as you expect and plenty of seating for both small or large groups. Menu was very diverse and all the dishes you expect to see. Wife went with the chicken enchiladas with verde salsa, and was a huge portion. I went with the Cali Burrito, a loaded burrito with steak and covered with queso sauce. Both dishes were delicious and seasoned appropriately. Didn't try the margaritas this time as we had errands to run, but from observing other groups they are very popular here. Overall good experience and reasonably priced. Service was great and checked on us frequently.

    Half bottle shop and half beer bar, Brother's is the bizness. I spent a pleasant evening here…read moresipping at two local beers and having a great time. With two dozen beers on tap (and a selection of bourbons and whiskeys), no worries that you won't find something you'll like. This was pretty awesome as I was actually spoiled for choice. I think the only thing that would have made it perfect was to run power to the table where I was sitting with my laptop. But this is a beer place and not a coffee shop. Friendly bartender and it was awesome. [Review 609 of 2024 - 306 in Missouri - 21640 overall]

    Wow - phenomenal food and drinks!…read more - - - Another couple recommended meeting here and dinner, we are glad we did, as we enjoyed great food and drinks, and time together. I'll admit to having driven past Brother's many times, and I now known that we should have pulled in and gone inside sooner. Brother's is part store part restaurant / bar... with an impressing selection of beer and bourbon... and also offering vodka-infused whipped cream... and many spices and sauces to enjoy on the food you eat there, or at home. Three of us enjoyed our beer flights - four glasses apiece; my wonderful wife enjoyed a gin and tonic that is made from the bee pea, so it turns a light purple color when mixed with the tonic - nice! We also enjoyed the incredibly good nachos, Midwest nachos, which were excellent...the chips, meat, sauces all paired so expertly by Steve, the owner... we enjoyed two plates, one with brisket and one with chicken on top. These are possibly the best nachos we've had... much meat and beans and sauce and more on top; solid chips... superb!! Sauce-wise, we enjoyed a Carolina BBQ and a pineapple chipotle sauce... Carolina was quite good; pineapple chipotle was amazing! There were many patrons here tonight, and Steve still made time to welcome and serve us, and to help recommend some beers for me to try - most appreciated. We look forward to seeing you again, soon, Steve!

That said, I'd still come back to enjoy the space and order from the regular menu, since the environment is really what made the visit enjoyable.

The chicken wings are nice and crispy but they werent sauced. The sauce came on the side and not near enough to cover 10 wings. You may want to consider adding an additional cup to the order or toss the wings. I also ordered the chicken queso and the photo on Door Dash looked appealing...however there was barely any queso and a small thimble sized offering of Pico de gallo. The establishment does not allow special instructions and I would've preferred more queso if you are going to advertise this dish as a chicken queso dish

    We knew we were going to a dive bar. We didn't know it was going to be quite so divey (probably not…read morea real word, but you get it). There are some tables outside. I think they're plastic, but could be wrong. They were all taken when we got there so we had to eat inside. The inside is pretty small. There were two open tables but they were filthy. We ended up sitting at a counter along the windows. The menu is on a board. We chose what we wanted and we just guessed at what to do next. There didn't appear to be any table service so my husband walked up to the bar and placed our order. We believe there was only one person working there that night. She was working the bar, cooking, and delivering drinks and food to tables. And she was pleasant! The place is small, dirty, and it was super loud. People were vaping like crazy and I don't believe most places allow that. I'm not a fan of being around it. Not a great atmosphere! There was no way I was going to use the women's restroom after my husband reported back on the men's room. He said the door was hard to close because it was somewhat hanging off the hinges. He could barely turn around in there because it's so small. He said it was disgustingly dirty. The pluses were they there was water, soap, and paper towels, and there were no live bugs. The food was very average. Supposedly the Larry Burger is great. It was not. It was very average. It was thicker than most burgers, but that's about it. We each had one of those and we shared an order of fried mushrooms. The mushrooms were the highlight of our time there. They would have been better with horseradish sauce instead of ranch dressing. I can't imagine the scenario that would see us going there again.

I arrived in time to watch her grab the burger buns with her bare hands and put them on the grill. I then watched her grab the frozen fries out of the bag with her bare hands and drop them in the basket to cook. I can only imagine how the raw meat was handled but the patties were already cooking when I arrived. Needless to say, the more I thought about it, the more my appetite disappeared. Dive bars are good, but unsanitary handling of food is not. Never again.
