[[HIGHLIGHT]]A great spot for a beer and a couple tacos before a concert![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] A good selection of local craft beers including a couple house beers. Tacos are ala carte, which is great because you can eat as few or as many as your tummy can handle, while still being able to function for that concert down the street at The Pageant! The BLT taco was otherworldly! They deep fry the bacon for a one of a kind taco experience. The Lobster taco was good but not worth the price tag. Go for the fish or shrimp tacos if you're looking for seafood. Bartender was very kind and attentive and made sure he was hand shaking all those specialty cocktails! The tacos came out fast ensuring you were able to eat, drink and still make that concert! read more

Stopped in for a quick beer and bite before a show at The Pageant. Very nice server seated us promptly and brought us waters. Beer menu was only available on an aggravating rotating television menu that did not stay on a screen long enough to read and took forever to cycle around. Mix that with the fact that they were out of my first 2 draft options (but still on the TV menu) and made it a time consuming beer ordering process. Order a couple of tacos and they came quickly and both options were tasty. Felt they were a little pricey for their size, but still delicious. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Music was a little loud which made it hard to talk and hear the server.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I came a cross this trendy gem while visiting, The Loop. The minute you walk in, a hostess was ready to seat you. A server was ready to take your order, but since it was my first visit, the server was helpful and I was able to order. The wait time was rather fast, and suddenly I'm biting into the freshest and spicy hot tacos. I also had their Margarita that paired well with the tacos. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambience was warm, inviting, and pretty hip for a taco joint.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Check them out next time you visit, The Loop, it's worth it! read more

went last night for their new late night happy hour. we got there around 9:25 and the servers were still eager to seat us and put our food in despite closing at 10. i asked about the late night happy hour which for drinks seemed to just be $3 shots and canned beers. i got french fries and pina colada and my bf got some tacos. the french fries were really really good they had a certain spice to them. as i kept eating them my mouth ended up being on fire. and not sure what the sauce was but it was super good as well. the chips were a mixture of stale and OK to eat. for anyone not familiar with the delmar loop area: it is street parking. as a girl i wouldn't go here by myself at this hour of the night. walking to the restaurant my boyfriend and i passed multiple sketch things resulting in him walking back to the car alone to come pick me up when we were finished. this street is also VERY poorly lit for how many popular attractions and shops are here read more

They stopped selling churros when they went from mission to session... not sure what the churros did. the food is great otherwise, but maybe a little pricy. the pina colladas are amazing and so is the chips and queso. read more

MTJ is such a great spot! I love how they have the feature to check in to get on the wait list in advance so that when you arrive, you will likely not have too long of a wait. My friends and I were going to see a show on Saturday night at the pageant and wanted to meet up beforehand for dinner at MTJ so this worked out great! We had such a friendly server despite the place being packed. They were so busy that they ran out of plates so she kept apologizing about it and then they were washed and dried, she brought some over right away. Our table had some drinks and we ordered the guacamole with chips and salsa to start and then we ordered a bunch of tacos and some street corn. Everything was tasty and fresh. We had plenty of food to share and the service was just great. read more

One of my favorite taco spots and a must visit whenever I'm in St. Louis. They have a wide range of options (including vegetarian) and have tacos on both corn and flour shells. I always get their chips and either salsa / guac to start and then a few tacos (ranging from 3 to 5 depending on how hungry I am - though I did get a weird look when I ordered 5 before). Service is generally pretty solid but the place does get very crowded during prime hours (and thus a bit slower). Seats are decently far apart so you can't hear other people's convos too much. It has quick food vibes vs. bougie dinner out, but it's such a solid option for some good quick food. My favorite taco by far is the portabella which has a meaty chunk of mushroom on the inside, some crunch from onion and lots of sauce. It's incredible. The fried fish is also good. read more

I visited this place a lot in the past. They used to have happy hour after ten which two dollar taco, now they do not have this deal anymore, which is probably why this place was not as busy on weekend night as it was in the past. We ordered tacos including my favorite Mango-Hop-Anero Shrimp tacos, Guacamole & chips, Carne Asada Fries, and Beef Birria. The food were great. The service was decent. The waitress took our orders and did check on us one time. read more

I've been here so many times but never reviewed it! This place is a must visit if you're in the loop area. Their two options are amazing and they have a different taco every month. Their appetizer menu is the BEST! Their homemade tortilla chips are amazing and the salsa is unmatched. Great spot for all the taco lovers out there! read more

Came here with two girlfriends, couldn't quite decide on what to order so we ordered one of every taco on the menu and it was the best choice ever! This is an affordable way to satisfy many different people's palates and a fun way to test out the menu! Great for those who are at times indecisive like I was that night. read more

I'm sad to say that my last order from the Delmar location was not great. I got the hot fried chicken tacos and they were hardly cooked. My friend said her two tacos tasted off too. We got chips and salsa and a 32oz margarita to go. I also got a side of the Baja fries. Those were all fantastic! However, the tacos were a miss this time around. read more

I've been to this location a lot, but I recently went back and this was the first time since their rebrand to session taco. The margaritas are pretty much the same and very tasty and strong. Nice updated taco selection with about half of the same, half new. I tried the mahi mahi taco which was good, a bit fishy tasting, and the portabello taco which I always love. Service was great, and we didn't feel rushed. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Love their new decorations as well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I would quickly give this place 5 stars if it just had more space!! If you are going to serve food this good you need a serious dining room! I know... it's trendy. But folks, I'm here for the FOOD! I had the Chorihuevo without a tortilla. So call it a bowl. Guys, if my wife will let me I'm coming back for supper. I'm doing it again. I've previously had their street tacos. They are the real deal. I'm not an Alcohol guy so I can't speak to that but my son in law seemed happy. All in all this is the #1 place in The Lou For street Mexican. read more

Lunch date with friend! Rounding up to 4 Stars. The good: Chips and guacamole: chips were fresh and guacamole was fresh with a lot of lime Baja fish taco: had it breaded, could have used a bigger piece of fish but great flavor from the sauce and queso Portobello mushroom taco: excellent even though I could have used more mushroom! The refried black been was a good base and the spicy fried onion straws were amazing Server was very nice! The "eh" Beef tinga taco: barely any tinga flavor, I actually thought it was just shedded beef or maybe pork Carne asada fries: good chunks of asada, but whole plate was dry (although it included a good portion of guacamole) Corn: didn't feel like fresh corn, more like frozen corn from Trader Joe's that they just added sauce to. read more

First off, our server was wonderful! Shoutout to Zora! She was lovely to talk to, attentive, funny and welcoming. They now offer margarita pitchers, which were tasty and gave us a good buzz. The salsa tasted fresh and had two varieties; a green spicy salsa and red smokey salsa. I went with the portobello taco and the chorizo taco. My husband got the fish taco and BBQ chicken and had dinner envy. Get the chorizo one for sure. They are dog friendly and made sure we had plenty of water for our dog. Nice place to sit out and people watch at the Loop. Food came out quick. Only drawback was my husband said one of his fish tacos tastes stale. read more

I honestly came in for their Street Corn "Off The Cob," which is really delicious. We ordered the dip trip for the table, which was decently priced. The guacamole and cheese dip was really good. For tacos, I ordered the portobello, beer battered Baja fish, and the hot fried chicken. The beer battered Baja fish wasn't as tasteful as I expected. A friend had their grilled Baja fish, and she said it was flavorful. I am not much of a mushroom fan, and I have to say I didn't mind the portobello taco. It was flavorful. We got a strawberry margarita honestly tasted like juice. It really needed more tequila. The staff was great and they brought our meals really quickly. read more

We came in on a Sunday for lunch and we're fairly pleased with our experience. We were able to try a variety of different tacos! The menu allows for you to mix and match any amount of tacos you would like, which we really liked! One downside was that these were served family style. We had a vegan in our group, whose tacos were placed onto the same taco tray as meat and dairy tacos. Thankfully they weren't allergic to anything, as we did see how someone with potential food allergies might find this style of serving not favorable. Overall the food was decent and the pricing was very fair. read more

Ehhhhhh is the keyword for my review. We were looking for a spot to eat after the zoo. We found this street with a bunch of restaurants. So we parked and started walking down the street and found this taco joint and it was packed. So packed, we walked in and asked for a table for 2. There was no table so we sat at the bar. We had two awesome bartenders a young man with a Harry styles hair style and a young girl. They were awesome, quick customer service. We sat looked at the menu and ordered salsa and chips, corn fritters and 3 different tacos. Salsa one is mild one is spicy but with great flavor. The corn fritters could of used some more corn and flavor in them and more crema. Now we got the carne molida, carne asada and the pulled pork. The carne molida was okay nothing crazy. Carne asada was basic, and lacked flavor. The pulled pork was delicious but way too spicy. read more

We love coming to Mission Taco! Over the years it has gotten a bit more expensive since they stopped their Late Night Happy Hour (pre 2020), so I don't normally get their tacos anymore because of the cost, but when I heard they were doing their happy hour for their 10-year anniversary I knew I had to go! I've tried almost every taco on the menu and the ones I keep coming back to are the shrimp and portobello mushroom ones. The shrimp is the perfect balance of sweet, savory and creamy from the avocado, mango slaw, and the shrimp. Honestly, the portobello is sneaky good-- because it's all veggies I wouldn't normally go out of my way to order it, but the fried onions on top and the juiciness of the portobello with the smashed black bean combine so wonderfully it's one of my favorites on the menu! You do have to like black beans for this taco though. I personally am not a huge fan of the Carne Asada because I find it a little plain, but my friends who got it enjoyed the steak. Other notable favorites were the BBQ grilled chicken taco and the Carne Molida (must like beans). Because we were there for HH, it was pretty crowded and loud, and service was understandably a little slow, but we were able to get our $2 tacos after a bit of a wait. Pro-tip: get your tacos on flour tortillas! I realized years ago that you could do this and it made a BIG difference. read more

Mid. And they charge for chips and salsa. If you order guac AND salsa they'll casually forget the second basket of chips. As a group we had to ask for the chips that come with it three times before they gave us our (charged for) chips. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's still Misson taco memorabilia which is nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] And the wait is always long on weekends, so that was to be expected. Drinks are good though! read more

My family of seven stopped here on our way out of town back to Chicago. We wanted some Mexican food and a margarita! Because we were hangry we opted for our margaritas with some chips and guacamole! Our kids loved it and the chips were made fresh. My wife and I both got shrimp and chorizzo tacos. They were good, but not special. I'd love to try more options here in the future. Our kids opted for quesadillas and enjoyed them with fries. Overall, good food; great drinks, but a bit pricey for what you get. If they had fairer pricing, they'd get a 5 star review here. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I was surprised at how empty it was especially on taco Tuesday where tacos were only $3.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] That is a terrific deal. I tried 3 different tacos and I have to say, the only one I really liked was the portobello Mushroom, the fish taco barely had any fish the pork Taco had huge chunks of pork that needed to be shredded. [[HIGHLIGHT]]On a side note, I think they should try to not have beggars outside of their door.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I had an absolutely awful experience last night at Session. Our group of eight was willing to split into two groups of four to be seated more quickly, as we informed the host upon arrival. However, we waited for an hour and a half without receiving any notification that our table was ready. When I approached the host to express my concerns--especially since we had a concert to attend in less than an hour--she told me there were no two tables available to accommodate us. After speaking with the manager, she informed us that there was nothing they could do and couldn't even provide an estimated wait time. This left us scrambling to find another place to eat within the limited time we had. So much for celebrating a friend's 50th birthday dinner. The customer service was terrible--they let us wait that long despite knowing we wouldn't be seated anytime soon. Why waste people's time? Do better, Session! read more

I kept an open mind, went back to Session Taco a 2nd time. I don't know why....the service was slow!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]I don't understand because it was lunch time, but they weren't busy.

Great tacos, my favorites are the fried chicken and carne asada. I think the tacos are on the pricier side for what you get. However, the burritos are not it - they're pretty bland, even when you get the one with sauce poured on it. I have no idea how they turn out the way they do. read more

So this was really disappointing. I've heard the quality has gone down here, but I still wanted to get tacos with my wife on a nice Tuesday night. We ordered chips and salsa, and got two portabello tacos, a shrimp habenero taco, a fried chicken taco, carne asada taco, and the soft taco (impossible meat). The chips were oily and not crunchy, and the sauces were pretty basic. The portabello tacos were extra oily, which was nauseating. Not like before! The shrimp taco was average, with overcooked shrimp. The fried chicken taco was terrible, with the chicken half the size of a normal ink pen. Pretty much it was breading and toppings in the taco. The carne asada taco had beef that was hard to chew, with only three pieces in the taco. My wife had the soft taco, which she said was too watery. Overall, I'm giving one star despite the nice location and ambience, just becaue the food was terrible. I'm sure the drinks were good, but we had water. A restaurant should just be a bar if the drinks are the mainstay. There are much better Mexican or similar style restaurants in the city. read more

Amazing food and great selection of craft beer on tap.Close to thr pageant if you happen to be attending a show give it a try.

The literal best. My group showed up 25 people deep and no one called ahead ‍ But instead of turning us all away, they made it work and so perfectly at that. The waiters are super great and the hosts and just everyone working there are amazing. Can't wait to give them my service again with a great tip and for sure less people They are honestly some great people working there! Oh and the food is good too! The shrimp and the fish tacos are my favorite. And the strawberry agua fresca is so great. read more

I really enjoyed the food. More CAL influence than TX/MEX. I had the governors tacos which were delicious and priced decently for the Amt of food including the sides. My friend had "the bowl" with chicken. She said it was tasty. We also had the chorizo queso, also very good. I had the mission margarita which I enjoyed. Our servers were helpful and attentive. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance was fine, very people watching hip casual vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The only problem I had with this "joint" is that there is a step in the back corridor to the restroom that is not at all well marked and I walked right off it and landed on my knee and elbow on a quarry tile floor. The staff helped me stand up, but I was headed out to a concert at the pageant and did not realize the cut on my elbow was deep and bled for another 3 hrs and then more when I got home that night. It was bandaged and sanitized when I got home, but 2 days later it all still hurts. Need more obvious markers at this location before somebody breaks something. So glad I did not! Probably would have given you 5 starts if I hadn't left injured. read more
