Food is amazing, and the ambience is great. Everything taste fresh and full of flavor, Highly recommended to everyone.

Amazing service and food! Chef Layton is off the charts as usual. Service staff on point and you can tell the place is managed as good as it gets! read more

Gorgeous restaurant with an unmatched outdoor ambiance, I felt like I was back in Mexico or Florida (if I don't look at the parking lot, ha!) The food is a little pricey but yummy! After we were greeted with chips and spicy salsa, we ordered skinny margaritas (pretty good) and our entrees. I ordered the Quesabirra and my husband ordered the free range chicken. I loved the Quesabirra. While listed as an app, plenty for an entree - four hearty tacos. The chicken was also huge (half a chicken), and it was sauced but my husband said it tasted bland. We will be back to try more things! read more

My family and I visited The Mexican STL for the first time, and I have to say, the atmosphere was absolutely amazing...From the moment we walked in, the customer service was top-tier. We were greeted quickly and immediately seated, upon being seated we were served waters, chips, and salsa promptly. The restaurant itself is stunning and definitely creates a great atmosphere and cozy vibe. A special shout-out to our waiter, Mustache Sam, who was absolutely fantastic. He was upbeat, knowledgeable about the menu, and incredibly accommodating. Even though he was apologetic about the limited menu options, his excellent service truly stood out and made our experience better. Unfortunately, we were disappointed by a couple of things. For a Mexican restaurant, we were surprised that frozen margaritas were not available or an option. As a pescatarian, I also found the menu to be very limited, which made it difficult for me to find something appealing. We were looking forward to enjoying dinner there, but ultimately decided not to stay because the menu just did not meet our expectations. That said, the ambiance and customer service were exceptional, so I'd still encourage others to check it out and decide for themselves. read more

I had extremely high hopes for this place, but was sadly underwhelmed. I have to say, the guacamole is some of the best I've ever had. Nevertheless, the rest of the food was underseasoned and overpriced. The drinks also disappointed me. For the price point, I expected better quality. Service was amazing. read more

An incredible experience all around! We showed up on a Saturday night with no reservations and it was PACKED. We ended up sitting on the back patio ledge with a front row seat to the live entertainment out back. The service was top notch, regularly checking in and accommodating all our requests. They recently set up a bell out back to do ice shots - highly recommend, so fun. Our drink orders: seasonal margarita (mango chile), old fashioned, carajillos, espresso martini Our food: Guac (a must have), quesabirra, surf & surf, wagyu flank 10/10, this is a must try. read more

After I sat down I was brought chips and salsa. The chips were a little warm which was nice. The salsa tasted different. I'm guessing by the smell that they add liquid smoke to the salsa because it has a smokey aroma. Whatever the ingredient was it changed the taste of the salsa and it was not enjoyable. That secret ingredient lasted a while on my palette. I ordered the chicken fajitas with all rice and no refried beans. The chicken was tender. Either they added that smokey ingredient to the chicken fajitas or that ingredient in the salsa continued to negatively impact the enjoyment of my meal. This is why I only gave 3 stars for the Food and for the overall rating. I sat at the bar and I received good service. She was really busy. The bar is two sided so the bartender was on the go. The layout of the restaurant is new and intriguing. They have a nice patio when the weather is nice. The vibe of the restaurant is a chill low vibe. read more

We visited on a Saturday evening, made reservations online ahead of time which is recommended. Our first cocktails were okay, the skinny marg was average and the New Fashion was a slow sipper, not as smooth as their traditional old fashioned. The classic marg and watermelon mint marg were both much better choices. The fajita filet was amazing, melted like butter in your mouth and the bone marrow was a great bonus. The wagyu flank came out overcooked the first time and was a bit tough. We sent it back and the second one was much better. The fries with it were average, better once soaked in the steak juice. Service was very polite and they comped one of our cocktails for the overcooked flank steak. But they only refilled our water glasses once and disappeared after that. The restaurant is very nice with multiple seating options, in the dining room, high tops, at the bar, and they have a great closed in patio that have garage style doors that can open in nice weather. The outdoor green space looked really nice as well. It is in the pricey side, which aligns with their Twisted restaurants. But the steak quality was at least great. read more

Classy Mexican restaurant! There's a huge parking lot, so don't worry about parking. I would recommend to have reservations ahead of time. The place seems to be always busy. Our service was great! Chips and salsa we're brought to the table. Had to start off with the $50 Presidente margarita. Best margarita I've ever had and it better be for $50 - LOL! Then ordered the Baja shrimp (yummy) and the queso fundido. The queso is more thick and they bring out tortillas with it. It did look and tasted like the tortillas were homemade. For dinner we had the Alambre and fajita fillet. Both were good. Dessert we had the chocolate cake (Mexican chocolate) with the caramel salted ice cream and some chocolate martinis. Everything was good. The only reason I did not give this five stars is because of the price and their tortillas. I'm use to the cheap Mexican tortillas at the other restaurants and prefer these. read more

What a great experience! I came here on the recommendation of a friend, and I definitely plan to return. Although I generally opt toward "hole in the wall" style Mexican restaurants, The Mexican STL is a great example of an upscale one done right. The ambience is pleasant, the staff are polite and helpful, and the food was all very good. I ordered the Asada tacos; the meat was slightly tough, but overall with excellent flavor, and tortillas were phenomenal. The rice and beans, street corn, and croquet was were all very good as well. I wanted to try dessert, but I was too full from all the food! They also have a decent size bourbon and tequila menu, with overall reasonable prices. I ordered a flight, and I was particularly impressed with the bar manager's generosity when offering substitutes for one of the items they had run out of. Overall, I'd give the food a 4/5, but the ambience and service definitely push it to 5 star territory--and I can't wait to return read more

The space is gorgeous. Open high ceilings & great decorations. The service was fantastic. We had reservations & were sat quickly & drinks were brought fast. We ordered queso & waited on that for quite a while. Apparently they were making the salsa as well so we had chips without salsa for some time. But the chips were so good we didn't care The food was ok. It's elevated mexican food but for the price I expected more. Wasn't a fan of the queso. Had leftovers since it took long time to get it & it didn't melt well once reheated. The tacos were good but again for the price i expected more. The rice and beans was lacking flavor. Took them home & made tacos with them later with adding more seasonings. read more

Once again, I wish we could give half stars! I would give this a 3.5. We had a reservation and were greeted and seated right away. It really wasn't as busy as I thought it would be, but there were still a decent number of people there. We were seated in one of two big dining areas. The bar area is also large. Our server was at our table shortly after we were seated. We ordered cocktails and guacamole and thought about what we wanted for our entrees. Water, chips, and salsa were brought to the table. The salsa was okay - nothing special. The guacamole was fine, but again, there was nothing special. We would have preferred a little more spice or something to give it more flavor. We made our decisions and placed our order when our cocktails were delivered. Our cocktails were okay. My husband got the Clásica margarita and said it was good - not too sweet, right amount of salt on the rim, and the balance was good. I got the Smokey Pineapple-Tini. It's made with mezcal. I really like mezcal and was a little disappointed that the mezcal was so light that I barely tasted it. Our server said people complained that it was too strong so they adjusted the recipe. I'm just saying I've never had a mezcal cocktail where I could barely taste it until last night! My husband got the Asada. It was three street taco sized tacos. He said it was good! I got the Mole Short Rib and it wasn't great. Also, I believe the menu should read Molé! The short ribs tasted like the meat when I make beef stew. I like my stew, but it doesn't taste like Mexican fare. And the molé didn't seem like a molé at all. It was a thin sauce that was not like any molé I've ever had - and not in a good way. Rice and black beans came with our entrees. I'm not into black beans, so they gave me double rice. On the plus side - the service was great! Our server was attentive, our water was always filled, more chips were offered because we had a half a bowl of small, broken pieces, etc. The executive chef stopped by and chatted. The vibe is great. The decor is nice. It's a great atmosphere! I was super excited when I heard about this place opening. I hadn't heard good things about it after they were open fthere were enough good reviews that I decided to try it anyway. Unfortunately, we likely won't be back. We LOVE Mexican food, but this really missed the mark for us. read more

I heard great things about this restaurant on social media. It didn't live up to the hype. This is an upscale Mecican restaurant. The have a huge mural filled with typical allegedly Mexican art. That tell me right away that it's not an authentic Mexican restaurant. I can't take anything away from the customer service. The staff was busy bringing out chips and salsa. The were filling water glasses. The server was also busy serving table. The hostess were polite. Great job by all of the staff. I wasn't impressed with the food. The chips were great. The salsa was just okay. It initially has a smokey taste. I assumed it was fire roasted. Then is was sweet. Finally it was sort of sp8cy. It was pretty unique. The guacamole was excellent. The Mexican rice was decent. The Mexican Street Corn was okay. I've had much better. It was smokey at first bite. It moved to a sweet flavor then a hint of spice. It was my least favorite thing that I had. I won't get it again. But I can eat it. I had the wagyu flank steak. I dont believe it was actually wagyu. It was chewy and salty. That's not typical of wagyu. Normally it is very tender and flavorful. The saly took away from the beef. The chicken enchiladas was good, but not great. I had a Margarita and Sangria to drink. The Margarita was strong but something was missing. The Sangria was okay. Again I've had much better. There was plenty of parking. They have a full bar. The offer a huge selection of tequila. read more

went there for happy hour with a friend. they have a nice happy hour menu that includes snacks and drinks. it goes from 3p to 6p. we started with their margarita option which was delicious. we also had fish and beef tacos, fried queso and the chicken tetala. all were tasty. it's a beautiful place inside and out. i should have taken more photos. we had great service and a nice experience. the regular menu is pricey and not exactly what most people expect from a mexican restaurant in st. louis. i lived in Dallas for 12 yrs and am familiar with high end "mexican " food. we wanted a more affordable experience, that's why we stayed with the bar menu.... read more

Our first visit was after about 3 weeks after they opened and needless to say, it was quite bumpy. Our food was delivered to a different table, we had to wait longer for our food to be remade, the appetizer we ordered (shishito bowl) smelled strongly of burnt plastic, and the flan was more akin to a cheesecake as far as texture goes (lacked the characteristic silky smoothness and jiggle of a flan but instead was more dense and firm). However, service was great and the manager was very apologetic and nice that I decided I needed to let a few more weeks go by before trying this place again. On Friday, after about 3 months of being open, we came back. Our reservation wasn't lost and we were quickly seated. To make sure we didn't have a repeat of last visit, we ordered different things. The one thing that we noted last visit was the fact that this place does make excellent cocktails. I started with spritz of sunshine and my husband had cowboy water. Cocktails were top notch as usual. Then we ordered some queso fundido to start. It was okay. The cheese was lukewarm and very thick, no flow for dipping but perfect for making roll ups since the dish did come with some tortillas. It needed more flavor though. I will add this to my list of things I won't order again. For my entrée, I had the alambre (skewered shrimp, wagyu beef, chicken, pork belly, peppers and squash and cheese all over. Delicious and well seasoned. If this is what I had the first time and prepared so well, I would have been sold right away. My husband had the barbacoa bowl over jalapeño rice, pickled red onions, and avocado salsa. He gave me a bite and I approve as it had excellent flavors. I could get these 2 dishes interchangeably in future visits and be happy. Lastly, we ordered the churros which was fried perfectly. I would get this again for dessert. Quick mention of the ambiance... the space is beautifu with modern decore, and has a more casual feel but also has that nice quality you seek from a place that would highly qualify as a date night location. Our most recent visit turned out to be the redeeming visit I was hoping for and for that, I am very glad. Our waiter, though busy, did stop by at regular intervals to make sure we were not left wanting anything. The rest of the staff were wonderful as usual. read more

Definitely one of the best Mexican spots in the metro area. Upscale restaurant with full service bar. Menu features tacos, enchiladas and a few common items but also a surf and turf feature. You will not find most items like tamales, burritos or rellanos. The menu quickly jumps to pricier surf and turf features. Service was excellent. Chips and salsa were better than most places. There was a few screens showing a basketball game and music playing (modern music, not mariachi style). Highly recommended but be sure to look at the menu before going to check if what you're craving is available. read more

An absolutely amazing experience on my first visit here. The staff were so polite and personable! Shelly is a gem and management really does a top notch job! We were greeted and seated by, who I assume, was a manager. He was very fun, joking with us and even coming by our table a little later to see how we were doing. A bit later, another manager came by to greet us and thank us for coming in. Noticing that our drinks were getting low, she asked if we wanted another and personally delivered them. It's those little things that go a long way! The menu is amazing. So many delicious sounding dishes and drinks to choose from. I really had my eye on the Tuna but since we were there for a few drinks (Pink Pony...so good!) and maybe a little something, we opted for the tacos. They were good and filling. They really pile on the ingredients. The guacamole was really good too and I'd recommend ordering it to go with your chips. The salsa wasn't my favorite. Overall a very impressive first experience. The space is gorgeous and spacious. I'm really looking forward to coming back and trying that tuna and experiencing the Queso & Cantina happy hour menu. We absolutely LOVE Twisted Tree's Sip & Savor happy hour menu and The Mexican's looks as like it will become a favorite too! I still have one more star to give and I don't think it will take long to earn. read more

Food was decent but didn't quite hit the mark for the price. The seasoning on several dishes felt mild, and the tuna had an off, fishy taste. Portions were generous, but for what you pay it didn't feel worth it. Guacamole was one of the better bites, and the drinks were very well done. Service was attentive and friendly. The space itself is lovely with a nice patio, perfect for a warm evening. read more

I had an opportunity to visit The Mexican STL for the first time last evening. My review will solely be based my experience sitting at the bar vs the broader restaurant. My first observation, this place is huge and very well appointed. For a Wednesday evening at 5:30pm, it was not super busy but by the time I was leaving, the crowd was rolling in. Drinks - had The Mexican margarita with salt - EXCELLENT. Food - chips and salsa - fair but nothing amazing; pork belly tacos (3) that were flavorful. I did get asada tacos to go which my son loved them. His comment "They looked exotic but were amazing." Service at the bar was excellent. read more

It is a nicely appointed place with a large bar area, large covered outside area with ceiling fans and a good size regular dining room which is where I sat. The lighting was dim for me and the menu had small print so I had to use my flashlight to read it. They played up beat modern Hispanic music which wasn't overly loud but made me want to dance in my seat. Our server was great he looked after us and was prompt. I loved my beef and rice bowl however my husband said his shrimp tacos were just okay. We will absolutely try this place again. read more

"The Mexican STL" is a new Mexican-American Fusion restaurant located in Crestwood, Missouri. It is owned by the Sybergs' Restaurant Group, who own many restaurant in the St. Louis area. We have heard extremely mixed reviews on The Mexican, so we decided to visit for a late lunch to form our own opinion. The atmosphere is quite nice, actually. It slightly reminded me of a hotel restaurant, with the patterned carpet and cushy chairs. The service was also friendly, but could have been more attentive. Our server stood in a circle chatting with other employees for minutes on end, which was kind of annoying. She was nice tho. The food was a mixed bag. The Chips and Salsa weren't very good, the chips were stale and the salsa was very spicy. We also split the Chopped Salad, which was pretty yummy. For entrees, I did the Asada Tacos which were good if not a bit too salty. My Mom did the Chicken Enchiladas. She wasn't a fan because she said the red sauce tasted like Marinara sauce. The best part was the atmosphere, but the service and food fell short for the price paid. I'm glad we got to try The Mexican, but I'm doubtful we will return. read more

Okay, so I have visited this location a few times now and while I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt, I have just not been impressed with the food. Yes, the guac is tasty, but I really wish they had a different option for chips. The chips they bring out come in these tiny containers that 2-3 people easily finish quickly so it's best to just ask for more chips right away. I was also surprised to learn that they fry them in beef tallow since that is not really notated on the menu. The Brussel sprouts looked really good, but again they were also friend in tallow, but at least that was notated on the menu (unlike the chips). The location is convenient and the atmosphere inside is really nice. It's very fancy inside with some cool lighting and decor. Nothing like what you would expect at a Mexican restaurant. The host/hostess stand is right when you walk in and they will get you checked in. When they have space available on the patio, it's a great patio to eat/drink! I am not a fan of high top tables, but that's what they had available last time I went so we took it, but the chairs are just not quite right for a short person like me - my feet just dangle. I am glad the chairs have a back to them though, that makes it a little more comfy. Inside tables are mostly low (except the bar area) and the booth/chair options are comfy. They have lots of people making sure you have water at your table, but the glasses are just so small that I would rather they just leave the pitcher of water at the table for me to pour myself because having to wait for them to come back to refill my water was just a pain. The cocktail options are really nice and I do have to say the margaritas were really good. However, the food has not been my favorite. I was also disappointed in the main entree (chicken enchilladas) I ordered since everything was just really spicy to me. The menu does not indicate heat level and I can safely say, I was not expecting that heat. I know I am a wimp when it comes to spice, but honestly, even my dining partner who likes spice was saying that the enchiladas were too spicy. They also have rice as a side, but the rice is not plain white it comes with jalepeos chopped up so I could not even enjoy the rice. The menu says "Mexican rice", but they really should include a description of what that means so that I could have been more informed. The beans were okay, but nothing like what I would expect from a Mexican restaurant - they sort of felt dry and lacked any flavor. Yes, the service has been good during my visits and it's nice to have the manager walk around to greet tables and talk to customers, that was nice to see and experience, but the food was just not the best and I think they need to provide more details on ingredients on the menu so that customers can be more informed of the food items they order. read more

Gorgeous space, great food, sloooow service Last weekend, a few friends and I finally checked out The Mexican STL in Crestwood, and I've got thoughts. Atmosphere: The interior is stunning -- moody lighting, luxe finishes, and a bar that stretches across the room like it owns the place. There's a cool Day of the Dead wall for photos, and the overall vibe is elevated without being pretentious. Definitely a place that feels "special night out" worthy. Food: The menu isn't your standard Tex-Mex lineup. They're clearly going for an elevated Mexican dining experience. The guac and chips were fresh and flavorful, the salsa had a great kick, and the steak tacos were fantastic -- tender meat, great toppings, and balanced flavors. I also love that they're playing with higher-end ingredients like Wagyu and creative entrees. Drinks: Their cocktail game is strong. Everything we tried was smooth, balanced, and dangerously easy to sip. It's a place where you'll want to order a second round. Service: This is where things fell apart a bit. The service was painfully slow. We weren't in a rush, but it was noticeably delayed at almost every step. It honestly felt like opening-month growing pains -- the potential is there, but the execution isn't quite matching the vibe yet. Bottom line: Stunning space Great food & drinks Very slow service I'll absolutely give it another try once they work out the kinks because the bones of something really good are here.

The Mexican STL is filling a void for excellent Mexican and filling the need for great restaurants in Crestwood. The Syberg family had already done Sunset Hills a solid with opening Twisted Tree--now just a little further down Watson they've created a gem of restaurant. We did not have reservations on Saturday night and decided to roll the dice--fully expecting to be turned away or have an awful wait. Neither happened. The host graciously greeted us and gave an estimated 45 minute wait time. We asked about drinks and were told that the outside rail was first come/first serve with wait service. We found seats and our server quickly introduced herself. We were offered chips and salsa while we waited for our margaritas. And before our drinks could arrive, we received a text that our table was ready. Our server inside the restaurant was as friendly as the one at the bar. We started with guacamole (very generous portion) and shared the shrimp enchiladas, tuna entree, and waygu flank steak. I enjoyed all three dishes, but the steak was my favorite. Each entree came with a serving of pico, black beans and rice. The restaurant itself is very spacious. There are several separate sections and the tables are spaced apart so you don't feel like you're sitting on top of each other. The price is what I would expect for the quality of the food we enjoyed. The Mexican STL will definitely become somewhere we visit regularly! read more

WOW!!! Food, atmosphere, and service all are FANTASTIC!!! We had a reservation, and were seating right on time. This location definitely has a great twist to the Mexican menu. We had the guacamole, Tuna Carpacio (with both the sauce for this and the Tuna Aguachile - we could not decide which on we wanted so the server suggested both sauces on the side). Dinner we had surf & surf (yes, 2 surfs and no turfs), and the CAMARON enchiliidas. Both were amazing! Oh and since we were on a roll, we also tried the brussel sprouts. We will definitely be back very soon! Next time we will have to take pictures. read more

Brand new Very pretty inside and out Very nice outdoor / half inside area. Very Large bar area Menu is small - basically tacos and enchiladas, soup, salad and a few grilled items Excellent Staff - were very attentive and at our beck and call at all times. House made chips and salsa to start. Had the tortilla soup - hearty portion and excellent flavors. Probably the best thing we ordered. I would highly recommend it. My wife had the chicken enchilada which came with rice and black beans and pico. Party portions again. She said that tortilla casing was OK but the insides were very good. My friend had the steak tacos which came with three tacos and rice and beans and pico. It was very hard to eat the tacos. Wouldn't really eat like tacos. Pretty much just fell apart. The steak was good. Hooray, some black beans were good. Nothing extra really added, but we're cooked just right. I would say overall as a restaurant to go to eat I would give it a 3.5 out of five If you're going out to Bar with friends, looks like it would be a great place read more

Ambiance is good! Food is mediocre. The guacamole is very bland no cilantro no jalapeño. The entrées are overpriced for a mediocre taco. SEVICE was just OK. Kind of felt like we were being rushed. The queso fondue was horrible just a congealed pot of melted cheese that you had to take out with a fork and knife. It's a shame because I love the Sybergs restaurants especially twisted tree but this one I did not like. read more

The service was fantastic. The prices are on the high side. I got a corn salad without the added cost of adding protein and it was a VERY small portion. I think it was $10 and an added $9 for protein. Appetizers came quickly but the wait for entrees was long. Party of 8. read more

As a Crestwood-ian, I am sooo happy to see so many local places popping up! I'm a big lover of Mexican food and was really looking forward to dining at this spot. We made a reservation and are so happy we did, it was super packed on a Saturday. The space itself is beautiful! The low lighting, decor, accents, and details are awesome. I loved the vibe. We ordered queso and it was a really awesome, authentic tasting dip with a side of tortillas. Loved rhe chorizo and peppers in there! My entree was the asada tacos which were super good, loved the avocado aioli on them and the tortillas were fresh. Loved that the cut of meat was wagyu. It came with a side of black beans and Mexican rice. We also shared a side of Brussels- sweet and spicy with the chipotle honey. It has some pricy options but it is the quality of the food you're paying for. It's great for a date night or a night out with friends! Check it out read more

**Update Review** (long post disclosure) 1. After my previous review I received a call from manager inquiring about my review. I appreciated the call, the fact that she ran the tapes back and noted that I wasn't just making a mad post and wanted to apologize and make it right. So we went back last night. 2. Now onto the review of the establishment. The service this time was much better. Our waiter (forgot his name) was awesome. Knowledgeable and kind to us. The vibe and ambiance is nice but it doesn't really give Mexican, it's giving a very nice restaurant, some Mexican music was played and the menu was a mix of Mexican and American with a twist. 3. Food and Drinks: I must be honest as expectations are highs! Unfortunately, the food fell flat. The dishes were under/not seasoned and didn't have a taste. Our flavor pallet was left underwhelmed. (See individual food reviews) However the bar was on point! The drinks were well made and flavorful! Suggestions: 1. Step the flavor profile up or offer flavor tiers for customer to choose from to cater to all customer. 2. Take the $50 margarita off the menu. A single margarita should not be promoted at $50 just because the Clase Azul or a high end tequila in it, but let the customer request that tequila and then note the price or up charge. 3 Stars: 1 for trying to make it right, 1 for service, and 1 for drinks. read more

Tried this place twice b/c a friend is always saying how she loves it. The first time and the second time weren't much different. The ambiance and drinks are pretty nice, but the food not so much. The service was great. The salsa is weird...it's kinda smoky and brown, but taste ok. We ordered the queso fundido...it was luke warm, but tasty. My friend and I ordered shrimp tacos. They were meh & overpriced. The rice and beans were the same as what you'd get at Chili's...no joke! If you're looking for ambience & tasty drinks, go for it, but don't expect your expensive meal to be any better than Chili's! read more

The atmosphere was elegant, with dim lighting and vibrant murals covering the walls. The service was polite and attentive throughout our visit. We started with the Taquitos, which were so generous and flavorful they could easily stand as a full meal. For our entrée, my wife and I shared the Mole Short Rib. It was my first time trying mole with beef--an interesting twist that others might love, though I realized I still prefer my mole paired with chicken. For drinks, I ordered the Michelada, and my wife enjoyed the mocktail Peach Don't Kill My Vibe. Overall, it was a great first visit, and I'd definitely return to explore more of the menu.
