Hostess got us seated, with our total number up in the air, they set the table for the max attendees we indicated and got those of us arriving first seated and the others directed to the table when they arrived. Our server was great, as always. She got the chips and salsa all settled, then drink orders, and then food orders. Everything was efficient and she was friendly and got all our orders correct. We were kept in refills for chips and drinks and everything was great. I got the Carne Adada bowl from the lunch menu again, with quinoa and black beans. The item allows you to choose your grain and your bean type. I couldn't remember about the sauce so I got it on the side and opted for no cheese. The beef was full of flavor and tender and I enjoyed it again. Casa Jaurez is full of color and lots of items for purchase in the lobby. If you have a group that likes Mexican, this is your spot

I found this restaurant while looking around on DoorDash and decided to drive down and try it in…read moreperson. It was less than five minutes from my house, and what really caught my attention was the strawberry fried whatever it was that I saw on the their emails website . It looked so good that I decided I wanted to go there, have dinner, and then get that for dessert. Since I don't eat much dairy, there honestly wasn't a whole lot on the menu that I felt comfortable ordering. I decided to get the birria because I've had birria at other Mexican restaurants in the past, and it was usually mostly meat without a lot of cheese. That was definitely not the case here. These were mostly cheese filled with just a little bit of meat in the middle. The sauce was good, though, and overall the food was okay. One thing I noticed was that I wasn't initially given any chips and salsa. I didn't say anything because I assumed maybe they just didn't offer them. After my meal came out, though, the waiter noticed that I hadn't received any and brought them to me. I appreciated that he noticed without me having to ask. Still, it was interesting because I couldn't help but wonder if being there alone had anything to do with it. Dining alone can sometimes feel like you get overlooked compared to people sitting at a table with several other people. I can't say for certain that's what happened here, but it did cross my mind. The service itself was actually good. The guy checked on me several times, although he did seem a little annoyed at times. I couldn't tell if he was annoyed with me or if something else was going on, so I don't want to assume, but I definitely noticed it. The restaurant itself is big, spacious, and would be a great place to go with a large group. If you want to make sure you get the best service, I would probably recommend sitting at the bar. Since this was my first time there, I didn't know that going in. One of the customers sitting outside actually told me that this was going to be the best Mexican food I had ever had. I'm not sure I would go that far, but I also have to be fair because I'm not really a huge Mexican food fan to begin with. I do love refried beans, though, so I ordered a side of them. I was surprised when they came out red because I've always thought of refried beans as being brown. They also weren't really my favorite, but again, I'm probably not the best person to judge Mexican food because Mexican food just isn't one of my favorite types of food. Honestly, I wasn't even there expecting some amazing Mexican food experience. I mainly wanted something fried, sweet, and tasty. That was the thing I was most excited about. Then came the biggest disappointment. When I was finally ready to order the strawberry fried dessert that had originally convinced me to drive over there, I was told it was only served during the lunch hours. I was definitely not happy about that. After everything that had already happened, finding out that the one thing I specifically went there for wasn't even available during dinner was a pretty big letdown. So overall, I would say the restaurant has a nice atmosphere, plenty of space, and the service was generally good. My food was okay, but the birria had much more cheese and much less meat than I expected, the refried beans weren't really my favorite, and the dessert I specifically wanted wasn't available during dinner. I did appreciate that the waiter noticed I hadn't received chips and salsa and brought them out without me having to ask. I may give it another try sometime, especially since it's so close to my house, but I would probably try something different next time. And if I do go back, I'll definitely be checking the hours for that strawberry fried dessert first because I'm not driving over there again thinking I'm getting it only to find out it's a lunch-only item!

I love everything about this restaurant. The hospitality, food, and the owners. This is a family owned business. I've met the wife & she's such a sweetheart. They all work together very well as a team. The drinks will take you there and have you feeling just right. The food, the BEST! I will be to try the Molcajete again because I ate it completely wrong and didn't realized until I'm almost done. It a spacious restaurant with oversized comfy seatings.

My friend and I stopped here for a last minute drinks and dinner. We each had the house special, I think it was called the Cadillac margarita with salted rim, iced not frozen, and we got the jumbo. OMG I couldn't even finish the jumbo. It was very strong and big, had to take it home to try and finish it. A wait staff dropped off chips and salsa and the chips were just not that good. I asked my friend what she thought and she said the same thing I did. The salsa did help but if I opened my own Mexican place I would serve the best chips I could find. I know they're free but many places offer some kind of free snack (Helen's has popcorn, some places still offer salted peanuts...) and I think it should make one think the chips are good the food will be better. As I was drinking I wanted some food and we got two chicken burritos, they were large and very good!! They were 2 for $14 if that gives an idea on cost. While I live just a few minutes from here, I haven't seen enough in 2 visits to say I'll keep coming here for Mexican, there are many other places in South St Louis to try. Oh and I swear the bar "stools" are big enough for two people. I probably look comical on one as my friend and I may have been able to fit into one stool.

Inside, it's simple, comfortable, and exactly what you hope for when you're searching for an authentic hidden gem. No gimmicks. No over-designed decor. Just the hum of conversation, plates coming out of the kitchen, and a dining room filled with people who clearly know they've found a place to break bread. Er-- tortillas. I ordered the Pollo a la Plancha, and it was outstanding. Grilled chicken served with perfectly seasoned vegetables, fluffy and flavorful Mexican rice, and warm corn tortillas. I asked them to hold the melted cheese (because dairy and I are currently in a complicated relationship), and it was still one of the best gluten-free meals I've had in a long time. Fresh, satisfying, and packed with flavor. My husband ordered the Norteño tacos, which arrived piled high with toppings and absolutely loaded with flavor. And yes, they come with fries. I had never seen this combination before, but I can confirm it is life-changing. He enjoyed every bite. Before the main meal even arrived, we were hooked by the complimentary chips, salsa, and a bright green crema that came with a serious kick. Spicy enough to get your attention, but so good you keep going back for more. This is the kind of restaurant you almost don't want to tell people about because it feels like a secret. But places this good deserve to be celebrated. Authentic food, generous portions, warm service, and the unmistakable feeling that you've stumbled onto something special. Five stars without hesitation.
