    One of a number of Mexican places en route to the Cahokia Mounds state park. There is a sizable population of immigrants from central Mexico in this particular town, which is excellent news for foodies! Had satisfying sopes with lengua and fresh menudo. The pastor torta and guacamole my friends had was excellent. Totally worth a stop if you're in the neighborhood and a nice alternative in the St Louis area to La Vallesana. From Forest Park, it was 30 minutes door to door.

    Loved it!!! Possibly the best tacos I've had since my move to STL. My first taste of the carne asada was little iffy...but as I continued to eat, each bite was better than the last. The best part of this experience were the pickled carrots and jalapenos...TO DIE FOR!!! Well worth the 30 minute drive!!!!!!

    This is the best Mexican food near St. Louis. The tacos are killer, the chorizo are my favorite kind!

    pretty much right next to cahokia mounds on collinsville road (the original part of rt66). great food, vintage feel. super friendly wait staff. place your order and as you wait they bring you pickled mexican vegetables to sample...the whole dang jug! fairmont city has three "real deal" mexican restaurtants and this one, set off by itself, is just as strong as the other two. they have a beer garden (cerveca jardin?) out back.

    Stopped here for lunch while visiting Cahokia Mounds. Quirky little place but the food was really good.

Mexican Cuisine

If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.

Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.

Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.
