5 Best Mexican Restaurants near Ballwin

“Mi Lupita's is our favorite authentic Mexican restaurant. We love the fresh squeezed Margaritas, Chicken Mole Poblano, El Pastor Tacos of pork and pineapple. Great service, atmosphere and everyone is o friendly. Best of luck on your new location.“

“This place is amazing. They are very quick with everything. I came in during a dinner rush they said 10 minute wait, I waited for maybe 5 minutes- amazing. I ordered my food and it came out in about 10 minutes and that during the dinner rush too. The service is amazing.“

“Moving reviews over from Yelp. Originally written in 2017:

Cheese baby, cheese!

I came here willingly for one reason, and only one reason: I saw someone's picture of a dish called Alhombre and had to try it. Think of it like this...they throw a handful of pieces of all of their meats (plus bacon) on a platter and then smother it is cheese sauce. Yep, kinda like a garbage pizza but made of Americanized Mexican food. The list included chicken, steak, fish, bacon and somehow a couple of shrimps even though they weren't listed on the menu as being part of the dish. There were some vegetables in there too but the dish could have used a bit more. Everything was cooked properly and very flavorful even without that luscious blanket of cheese laid over the top. Tortillas on the side along with the ubiquitous rice & beans.

We started with chips and salsa but the main event was the most memorable...until dessert arrived. The thing I love about flan is the drizzle of caramel sauce that usually accompanies the custard on the plate. There's never enough to allow a little bit with each bite. Not usually. Not ever - until this plate of flan arrives and it was absolutely swimming in caramel sauce (see picture). I was stuffed to the gills but actually contemplated ordering another one just to see if it would look the same. I held off but will certainly return if for no other reason than to have another flan.“

“Best Mexican joint in town. As someone of Latin American descent, the food is about as authentic as it gets. I had the birria tacos, and they were delicious. The waiter was very sweet and attentive. The food came out in a timely fashion. Can’t say enough about this place, a wonderful restaurant for casual food and drinks.“

“Excellent! Food was tasty. Would definitely recommend.“
