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.

Got the lunch chimi special. Was super bland and the grease from the ground beef covered my plate. The cheese sauce wasn't very good either. The frozen strawberry margarita is the only thing that was decent. We will stick to going to Chimis in St Peters.

Not the best, but not the worse...just right in the middle. Fajita Quesadilla could have used more chicken and kick up the seasoning a notch. This was the first time I've seen tomato slices in there. Interesting. The Cheese Enchilada was cool though.

Hidden besides Buffalo Wild Wings and dwarfed by the gigantic Bass Pro Shop lies this little Mexican restaurant that is very easily overlooked. I don't think you need to really seek it out, but it's there and they have a huge menu...so I'll go on to describe the place so you know whether or not it's your thing. This is not bad Mexican...tons of vegetarian options...but I think a lot of this stuff is really just frozen bulk packaged stuff that they reheated and threw on a plate with beans and rice. It's appetizing, but not amazing, and I didn't feel much need to bring the leftovers home, because well, I already have frozen bean burritos in my fridge. The service was pretty slow, and they tried to seat us at this tiny little table, not really big enough for two people, next to a huge party with no chairs. Very odd considering how many open tables there were in the restaurant. We decided on sitting at the bar instead, figuring that we could at least get our drinks faster. Not really the case, and one of our beers was in a glass with a huge chunk of ice frozen to the bottom...they did replace the glass, but it took a few minutes to do so. The salsa had little kick to it, and the chips were nothing special either. I really think this is fast food quality Mexican, but slightly pricier.

This place serves the bad kind of Mexican food. Not hot enough, too little sauce and over-priced, ultra-weak-piss-me-off margaritas. The tortilla chips were so thick and borderline stale. I can cook better mexican at home with my eyeballs plucked out of my head.
(1)Chris D.
The food was a little below average, but didn't make me sick. The service was friendly and the restaurant was clean. I had the carne asada. Like I said, it was below average in quality and taste. My companions had other entrees and said about the same. The salsa was ok but the chips weren't especially fresh or even warm. I wouldn't go back.
(2)Charlie K.
I thought it was good. Best beef quesadilla in St Charles. Rice and Beans were lacking in the spices but overall it was good. My wife tried the taco and did not care for it, but she really liked the beef quesadilla too.
(3)Lucas E.
One of the best mexicans restaurants in St.Charles. Food is delicious and they offer big portions. Good deals on drinks and their margaritas are awesome!! Very good service in general.

Came by for a quick soft taco. The owners son was on the ball quick. I sat where I wanted. I ordered something but he told me a better menu item and he was correct about that. Cardinal game on. Large screen tv in bar but separate cafe area too

Don't listen to the low star reviews. This place is always good every time I come here. The chips & salsa are good. The enchiladas are really good. Friendly and fast service.
(4)Syed J.
They have great food and drinks. The employees are very friendly as well. They have been in the Saint Charles area for over 20 years.

This was a run-of-the-mill Mexican joint. It was fine; nothing special. Portion sizes were much smaller than I've had at other places (I got a chicken chimi). I want toe room that the way the front dining area is situated, it was VERY cold in there (winter months) with the door opening.

I am rarely in St Charles and was craving Mexican, so just happened upon this place. I was there for lunch and ordered the quesadilla with rice and beans. While I waited for my lunch, I feasted on a basket of chips and salsa. I'm not an expert on salsa, but this was good and not too hot. Spicy hot and I do not get along at all, so I was pleased. My lunch arrived relatively quickly and the quesadilla tortilla was buttered and grilled. It was delicious. The ingredients were simple, chicken and cheese. I am not a fan of onions or tomatoes on my quesadilla, so this simple recipe made my taste buds stomach very happy! The rice and beans were good, nothing out of this world, but I have not had any rice and beans that were out of this world. Three locations were listed on the menu, so the next time I am craving Mexican, I'll keep them in mind. I noticed they had 1/2 priced margaritas on Wednesdays, so that's a good reason to visit again.

I think the 5 star reviews are written by the staff. My wife and I ate here tonight and overall disappointed and not planning to return. The plate was much hotter then the food itself and overall the buritto supreme was very bland. I always get heartburn after Mexican food and had no effect at all which tells you it is pretty bland and was tasteless. The rice and beans had no flavor at all and the chips were extremely stale. My wife had a cheese dip that was so gelled you could pick the whole thing up with a fork. We asked the waitress about it who just said that we must have misread the menu and ordered wrong - no apologies or any offer from them. There are other Mexican restaurants in the area if you want some actual Mexican food.

Should I kick myself for not reading Lulu's review first? She pretty much covers exactly what I was going to say, I can make better tacos and I. can't. even. cook! The taco meat was some kind of sad mix and really a Mexican restaurant without asadero cheese? Get the hell outta here! I was visiting a friend and our big plan was to hit up a Mexican restaurant before going out--which is usually always a good time but this came up way short. Not to mention I made the rookie mistake of skipping dinner then drinking your weight in alcohol that never ends pretty -- can I give them my dry cleaning bill?

Lunch at ETP followed the running of some errands in St Charles. I have eaten here a few times in the past when they were on First Capitol and knew there was a location bear Bass Pro. There are two other locations in the area. One visit only allows a small snapshot and it is not likely we will be back in the area very often for a meal. We found the food to be pretty standard. The restaurant is owned by some family members related to the owners of Mi Lupita. The menu is very similar but I did not find the food to be executed as well. I had huevos con chorizo and they were OK. The chorizo seemed stronger flavored and the corn tortillas were probably more authentic, although milder. I do like the way they warm the tortillas on the griddle, giving them a little toast. The rice seemed to have less flavor, the refried beans were not as creamy (less lard?). Ms T said the ground beef was pretty much the same but the tostada was a little stale. I was disappointed that the cheese garnish on the beans was not queso Chihuahua, it was orange like cheddar. So it is OK but not much more, a weak three stars for this one visit. I should find out which location is the mother ship of El Tio Pepe and see if it is better.

Kindly speaking, the service and atmosphere was pleasant. The food, however,...well if you prefer Americanized Mexican, then this is your place. The tacos are kind my mother (non-Latino Caucasian) made when I was a child. I prefer Authentic Mexican with soft corn tortillas, onions, meat, and cilantro. Also, I ordered a tostado that came with no beans...?..
(2)Jason H.
Nice little Mexican joint. I really liked their chips and salsa. Too many times I go Mexican restaurants and their salsa is bland and tasteless. But the salsa here was very good with just the right amount of spiciness. I ordered a lunch Chicken burrito that was very good and chocked full of chicken. The rice and beans were typical of most of Mexican Restaurants.

Needs some Mexican folks working, fat white guy cooking flautas????
(4)Chris B.
My family and I have been coming to one version of ETP or another for 15 years now, and we love it. If you're looking for Casa style crap Mexican food, go elsewhere. If you want authentic dishes that have been passed down through generations, go here. Also, they might not have Asadero cheese (Oaxaca), but they do have Chihuahua, which is better. Just gotta ask for it.
(5)Aaron Z.
I am in love with this place!!! They are always very nice!! The Chile Rellenos are fantastic y los Quesadillas de pollo Me ENCANTA!!! The Margs and Dos XXs on draft are always great!
(5)Megumi P.
I used to recommend this place all the time but after last night I don't think I'll be going back personally. We had a big group and the restaurant was dead except for a couple people at the bar. Our waitress was great but there was this really young kid helping with drinks and he only came around occasionally and when he did he would get stuff wrong. The food has gotten to be less than good and a few people at the table ended up either paying more than they initially thought they would based on menu prices. The service was slow and disappointing because we were literally the only people there for the first half of our visit.
