Description

A homage to the late, lamented Flaco's Tacos, which introduced St. Louis to the fish taco. You can get fish tacos here - the tempura-battered are best, served with tart cabbage slaw and a mildly spicy sauce in soft flour tortillas. But you might also enjoy this tiny joint's takes on other Mexican and Tex-Mex favorites. Enchiladas are served with a rich, complex mole, as are the surprisingly fiery chiles rellenos. A chorizo kebab pairs the spicy sausage with a delicious saffron barbecue sauce and creamy mashed sweet potatoes.

    Pink Tacos are great!! I've tried the Baja Tempura and Blackened Tilapia, both delicious. Guac dip is good and chunky too. Nice outdoor patio with live music at least on Thursdays.

    I ordered the "wet" burrito and it is the biggest burrito I've ever seen. All of the food was pretty big, but the burrito was bigger than my head, I could barely eat half. The margaritas were great. A few friends and I go there every week for the $2 taco Tuesday special. A fun place to go for some great Latin food.
