I always order carne asada street tacos. Comes with red/green salsa, not too spicy on the side. You can add onions and cilantro, not overwhelming. I'm Mexican so that says alot. Been going here for 2 decades. Street taco prices!! When you are inside, you feel like being in Mexico Overall a WONDERFUL experience to add to your life ...

I have been patronizing El Caporal for 15+ years now. This is such a great lunch spot, and their…read moremarket has a lot of niche items that are difficult to find elsewhere. The food is fantastic. Try a torta and a taco, pick your protein, and a sugar-cane Coke in a bottle! Add a little green sauce and WHAMO! The best lunch in St Charles! The family that runs it is extremely friendly, and they are always prepared to graciously accommodate us english-only speakers. This is NOT full service dining - you need to bus your own table and grab your own drinks. Not doing so is considered impolite. They bring your food out to you. Please keep this in mind when visiting.

I visited a few times and unfortunately it got worst with each visits. Pros: 1. Can find international items (mostly Jamaican & African) from my observations 2. Located right off Olive & 170, easily accessible Cons: 1.Building needs serious working (water leakage & roden identified). Owner was very receptive when I noted the rodent 2. Cashier is not friendly. Handling items rough when searching for barcodes, it's like she is going to rip the packages open 3. Prices are no longer transparent. Removed off almost all items in the store. 4. Items can be pricey (maybe due to tariff) 5. Expired items are still on shelf Recommendations: Shop at your own risk. If you do go, examine items closely. Suggest items in a sealed original bag or items where the outer layer is trash.

This place has both men's and women's skirts, shirts and pant sets premade and well tailored. The prices are good - the sets are around 20-30 each, whereas just buying the fabric itself can be that much depending on how much you buy. They also sell secondhand shoes and clothes, and toiletries also. They also sell phone cards, specializing in African phone cards.

The spice aisle is a cornucopia of whole and ground options. They even sell teapots! I picked up a few things to try. The people there were friendly and helpful. My only suggestion would be to make prices easier to find. Some items were clearly labeled, or were marked on the shelf, but it wasn't consistent.

The prices are reasonable. Many of the labels indicate the food is from Turkey. They have a refrigerated case full of beverages, cheese/yogurt, pastries, pita bread and dinners. The aisles are full of olives, pickled vegetables, olive oil, snacks, candy, so many spices, large bags of lentils/rice/beans and tea. They also offer catering and seemed very busy with the Ramadan season. If you want to eat more Mediterranean style or try something new, check out Hebron Market.

I really like the option to pick two and you can choose from sandwiches, soups, salads, and loaded baked potatoes. They have a yummy vegetarian chili. There is a large parking lot with disabled accessible spots and a ramp to get inside. They offer mostly indoor dining, but there are some patio tables to enjoy on warm weather days. You order from the counter and they give you a number and serve you at your table. Even on busy days, the service is fairly quick.

This is so close to home it will certainly be our place for Indian cooking ingredients. They have a very complete array of the things you would expect. It is not a large place, but I was impressed with their selection. For example, you expect the extensive range of pre-mixed masalas for every conceivable dish, but Bombay Bazar has this array in at least four major brands. It is almost overwhelming. The breadth of selection is true for most areas, from rice to flour to any of the dry pulses you could want. They also have a good refrigerated section as well as some fresh produce. Since having some very good Channa Masala in Chicago last weekend, I have been craving Indian cooking. This visit aggravated that condition. Bombay Bazar is a welcome addition to the community. I wish them well so that we have this source close at hand.

The Tea Spout is located in Chesterfield Valley in a small plaza. They share a parking lot with…read moreseveral other businesses. I've driven past them so many times and I finally visited. I was pleasantly surprised with everything. When you walk in, you grab your own menu and you seat yourself. They have high top tables, booths, low tables and a conversation area with comfy furniture. You place your order at the counter and pay ahead. They give you a number to place on your table and they bring your food out. The first thing that impressed me is that the food menu is local and organic. They offer organic coffees, so many teas and tea accessories, herbs. Their cafe menu has many vegan and vegetarian options. The service was friendly and helpful. Our drink order came out almost immediately, and our food came out fairly quickly. I really enjoyed my breakfast bowl that I added avocado. It was quite nourishing and flavorful. I don't know how they cooked the sweet potatoes absolutely perfect. I also ordered a protein cookie to eat later. What absolutely blew me away was my lavender Matcha iced drink. It was the best Matcha I've ever had. They also have an area with various hot sauces and so many flavors of infused, honey. They have various types of sugar, agave and Stevia, but you will not find any Splenda or equal here. So if you are sugar-free and don't like Stevia, bring some from home. I really liked the whole vibe of this place, the food and the beverages. I will definitely be back soon. Please note that they are closed on Sundays and Mondays.

What a great find in the Chesterfield Valley --…read more The Tea Spout. The space is bright and calming with tons of natural light, a cozy boho feel, and really comfortable seating. Their tea selection is excellent, with flavorful herbal blends that also focus on wellness and immunity, plus mushroom coffees and a few gluten-free sweet treats. My husband loved the avocado toast, and I had the eggs and greens (small), which was surprisingly filling and delicious. Everything comes beautifully topped with fresh microgreens. Groovy music, a cute little kids' area, and a peaceful atmosphere made it an especially relaxing stop on a rainy day. I hear it gets busy on Saturdays, and I can see why -- it's a unique, welcoming spot. I gave it a 4 star because you have to order at the table.
