Yes. And Q'doba. And Moes. I've been to every mexican place I've ever passed on a road. I will change my plans on a dime and stop when I see mexican food.

Anyway, it tasted like watered down mexican food.

You should give it another shot. Carnitas tacos is the way to go, not that football-sized burrito full of rice.

If you've had Mexican food, then Chipotle won't taste like Mexican food. But it's still darned good.

If you are that into Mexican food then you must drive to Cleveland and go to Luchita's. They shut down for 2 weeks around Christmas to return to the homeland to celebrate La Navidad. And they don't charge for chips and salsa.

Luchita's

We need to go on a road trip. I'm the same way. The BEST Mexican Restaurant I've ever been to was in Tucson, AZ. Nothing else has ever come close to comparing to it. It was in a horrible area, but so good.

So we'll take a Thelma and Louise roadtrip, only without the dying in the end.

All discussion of the best Mexican in St. Louis has been moot since Flaco's Tacos on Lindell closed like 10 years ago.

One place that was so overrated was Chuy's in dogtown (which I believe its now closed). I went there w/ so much hope and left w/ a big plate of 'meh'

That reminds me, I used to go to Naugles on Manchester back in the mid 80s. Fast food Mexican. Mmmmmm.

I think an homage to Flaco's has re-opened on Delmar.

Is it owned by the same lady? From what I understood she closed Flaco's to move back to Mexico.
