Great stop before the Muny show on a Tuesday night. They were busy, but conscientious of the time it took to get our food and manager to explain came unprompted to explain. We will go again.

The Moniker food was really good. I thought the small bites wouldn't be enough. It was and they were really good. Pls support this business. Very professional and the wait time for our food wasn't long at all.

We were really impressed with our first visit to The Mexican STL. It had been on our "visit" list since we saw the restaurant listed as a top new restaurant for 2026, and we were blown away. The decor is cool, the house music is fun, the food was fantastic, and our service was terrific, too! Our visit was on Halloween, so it was pretty neat that the wait staff got into the costumes as well. We'll definitely spread the word and bring friends next time around! :)

We have gone here for almost 40 years it is our favorite restaurant and the only place to get fresh seafood in the St. Louis area. Rebecca Lahay and Tony Wiley are our favorite waiters and take wonderful care of us and we have become good friends. We raised our boys there through the holidays as well. I have allergies and they tweak things for me to be safe. Food is fabulous and dependable. Specialty drinks are fun and their brunch is scrumptious.

An amazingly diverse menu that made picking a favorite almost impossible. From the flatbread appetizer, to the tuna steak with asparagus entree, as well as the craft cocktails. This was an excellent meal in a historic and tucked away part of University City. I will be back to try their sister restaurant Diego's next time. A 5 star experience for me.
