I have been to Diablo McGee's many times since it opened. Diablo McGee's offers a wide selection of Mexican food. They even offer traditional American food, and it is quite good.
I have ordered the Pollo Cancun, Philly Cheese Steak, Toquitos, Tacos and much more that is slipping my mind right now. If you go I would suggest ordering the Pollo Cancun. It is great. It is cheese covered chicken and shrimp over peppers and onions.
They have some good drink specials there as well. If you are looking for a great margarita, order the Irish Margarita. Very good.
This is a very good place to eat if you like mexican restaurants. I would suggest checking it out.

Atomic Cowboy is the St. Louis Place to Eat
Atomic Cowboy
4140 Manchester Ave.
St. Louis, MO 63110
Phone Number 314-775-0775
Website - atomiccowboystl.com
For more restaurants in St. Louis visit www.stlstuff.com
Atomic Cowboy has a wide variety of food, from Tex-Mex favorites to burgers and sandwiches. They do have quite a bit of mexican food on the menu, but they don't serve the free chips and salsa that I am so used to getting from Mexican restaurants. Everyone should find something they like at the Atomic Cowboy. The place looks new inside and is a refurbished building with exposed brick on the inside. We sat in the area with the bar, but in the other room it looked like they have couches and other places to sit. The place was casual and there were plenty of places to sit. We got there at 6:30 p.m. on a Friday night to grab something to eat before the Blues game and there was plenty of places to sit.
The food on the menu looked very good. I went for the chicken chimichanga. The chimichanga was one of the better ones that I have had lately. This was chicken stuffed inside a fried tortilla and covered in cheese. And the cheese was very good. I also had a Bud Light, and two rum and Cokes to wash down the meal and get me ready for the Blues game. Next time I go, I am going to get the fish tacos. Fish tacos are hard to find in St. Louis, not many people serve them.
Prices: Chimichanga was $11. I paid $26 for the food and the drinks. Prices are a little high, but the food is very good.

The Bean House is the St. Louis Place to Eat and Drink
The Bean House, La Casa Frijole
1100 Lemay Ferry Rd
St. Louis, MO 63125
For more restaurants and bars visit www.stlstuff.com
The Bean House is a Mexican Restaurant at the intersection of Lemay Ferry and Telegraph. From the outside of the building the place looked like it had a nice patio, but it was too cold to sit outside. The inside of The Bean House was not decked out, and didn't look like every other mexican restaurant that feels the need to put up that ugly fake Mexican decoration. This was a very straight forward place. The menu did not have the 50 combination dinners that other places have. It was very simple and the prices were very cheap.
I ordered the chicken chimichanga and two tacos. The chicken inside the chimichanga was outstanding. It was not covered in spices like other mexican restaurants, but it was shredded and very moist. The tacos were not anything special, but they were still good. If you go to this place order something with the shredded chicken. It is very good.
Downstairs in The Bean House, there is a little sports bar area. This is a cool little space with a bar, a few T.V.s and darts. We had a few beers down in the basement after dinner and it was a good time. The place was not that crowded and there were definitely places to sit, which is always nice.

Red Burrito is the Place to Eat in St. Louis
Red Burrito
For more places to eat in and around St. Louis visit www.stlstuff.com
I have seen the Red Burrito's being put into the Hardee's locations over the past few years. I guess Hardee's can't live on their burgers alone. Didn't Hardee's try to differentiate themselves from all of the other fast food restaurants by just offering burgers and nothing else? Well I guess they are not concentrating on their burgers, because those are not even that good anymore. But, to put in a Red Burrito? That just goes against their whole plan.
Anyway, I went into Hardee's on Lemay Ferry, in the Deirberg's Plaza to get breakfast one day and I saw that they have a salsa bar for the Red Burrito part of the place. Any place that has a salsa bar, or sauce bar of any kind is one step ahead of the other restaurants. I like to get as much of something or as little of something as I would like.
Red Burrito is just like Taco Bell. I was really hoping that Red Burrito would have a fish taco, but to my disappointment they didn't. I ordered a soft taco, and a chicken quesadilla. They tasted just like Taco Bell. But, if I had a choice of going to Taco Bell and Red Burrito, I would choose Red Burrito. This is solely based on the fact that Red Burrito has a salsa bar. Taco Bell should really look into getting one of those. I bet they will do much better business.
Prices: One soft taco and a chicken quesadilla - $5.71

September 3, 2007: Las Margaritas is the Restaurant and Bar of the Day in St. Louis for Today
Las Margaritas
403 Watson Plaza
St. Louis, MO 63126
Phone Number: 314-965-2042
Las Margaritas Mexican Restaurant is a fairly new establishment on Watson, near Crestwood mall. This place does try to be like every other Mexican restaurant by making the interior a cantina like atmosphere, and having 20 different combination platters to choose from. What makes Las Margaritas different than every Mexican restaurant in St. Louis is the food. The food at Las Margaritas is very good. It is much better than the run of the mill Mexican restaurants that are all over the St. Louis area.
Las Margaritas is also a good place to drink. When you walk in and go to your right they have a nice little bar area with a plasma screen T.V. They also have 32 oz. beers of Bud Light for $3.99 and Dos Equis for $4.99. These beers are huge. Drink a couple of them and you will be feeling pretty good. The bottles of Bud Light cost $2.75. These beers are huge. Margaritas are $5. The margaritas are priced pretty high but I go there for the beer anyway.
To eat, I ordered the shrimp chimichanga. This was a massive tortilla that was filled with shrimp and fried. This was a very good chimichanga. It even came with guacamole and sour cream on the side. I have found lately that not very many mexican restaurants give you this with the meal anymore. I have to order it on the side. We also ordered two hard tacos, a chile con queso, a cheese enchilada, a soft taco and a chicken burrito. At Las Margaritas you will get a lot of food. All of the food was very good, and the best part was it was all covered in the good mexican restaurant cheese.
Prices: Chimichanga - $9.99; Chicken Burrito - 3.15; Soft taco - 1.49; Combo platter with a chili con queso, two hard tacos, and a cheese enchilada - $8.25; 32 oz. Bud lights - $3.99; Bud Light bottles - $2.75; 32 oz. Dos Equis - $4.99; Margaritas - $4.99

Augist 26, 2007: Pueblo Solis is the Restaurant in St. Louis for Today
Pueblo Solis
5127 Hampton Ave
St. Louis, MO 63109
Phone Number: 314-351-9000
For more on restaurants and bars visit www.stlstuff.com
Finally a Mexican Restaurant that did not go over the top to make it look like every other Mexican Restaurant out there. The inside is a very simple dining room with about 15 tables. The main attraction is the outside patio which has about 10 tables. This is a small little patio with an overhang, which makes it quite nice. This place surprised me. I was expecting the typical Mexican restaurant where they make the place look like a fake Mexico. This place did not do that.
At Pueblo Solis they start you out with some chips and three different salsas which change daily. This was a nice variety to what I am used to at Mexican restaurants. The waiter came by and took our drink order. I ordered a Bloody Mary and my better half ordered a strawberry margarita. The Bloody Mary wasn't the best, but what should I expect from a Mexican restaurant, but the strawberry margarita was very good. Be careful when ordering drinks here they are kind of expensive. I think it cost $7.50 for a margarita, but the Bloody Mary was only about $4.50.
The menu at Pueblo Solis was a nice surprise. It was not packed with combination platters like every other mexican restaurant in the St. Louis area. They had some items that I had never seen before at a Mexican restaurant, maybe this is because I am used to picking between 20 different combination platters. The menu did have some of the traditional favorites like tacos and enchiladas. The waiter came around and told us some of the specials and one of them was mexican meatballs served with gravy and tortillas. This sounded really good, I regret not ordering it. But, I ordered the two enchiladas because the waiter said they were a house specialty, and the other ordered a chili relleno and a burrito. The enchiladas were kind of small, filled with cheese and baked. The Chili Relleno and burrito looked great. The burrito was huge and filled with beans and cheese, and the chili relleno was a perfectly done pepper filled with cheese. All in all not a bad place to go, but it is kind of pricey and I would only be able to go every once in a while. Another thing that I noticed at this restaurant was that the food took about 20 minutes to come out, I could tell it was cooked after I ordered it. At every other Mexican restaurant I have been to the food comes out in 5 minutes or less.
Prices: $52.56 for two entrees, and four drinks. The drinks are what killed us. The place would be decent if it wasn't for the high drink prices.

August 15, 2007: Taco Bell is the Restaurant in St. Louis for Today
For more on restaurants and and bars visit www.stlstuff.com
Taco Bell has many locations throughout the St. Louis area.
Taco Bell is the most well know Mexican fast food restaurant. Although it is the most well know that does not make it the best. Del Taco is better than Taco Bell. The problem with Del Taco in the St. Louis are is that they have the wrong people running the stores and the inside of the stores are disgusting. Unlike the disgustingness of Dell Taco, Taco Bell keeps many of their stores clean, or at least cleaner than Del Taco.
Taco Bell serves all of the well know favorites from tacos to burritos. There are always so many choices when eating at Taco Bell. The items that I usually order are the nacho supreme and the soft taco supreme. I have not ordered the cheesy gordita crunch in a while but that is also one of my favorites. While Taco Bell is a fast food chain it is still good to eat every once in a while. They have very good melted cheese

Del Taco is the Restaurant of the Day for August 7, 2007 in St. Louis
For more information on restaurants in and around St. Louis visit www.stlstuff.com
Del Taco is a fast food taco place like Taco Bell, but I think it is much better. There are four Del Tacos that I know of in St. Louis. There is one in North County off of Lindbergh, one of McCausland, one of off Natural Bridge and on by SLU off of Grand. For exact locations visit their website.
The inside of every Del Taco is the dirtiest place that I have ever seen. It is disgusting. That is why when I eat there I always go through the drive thru. Del Taco is a little slow, so hope the drive thru is empty when you pull up or else you will be waiting for a long time.
The food at Del Taco is very good. They offer a wide variety of items similar to Taco Bell, but they offer burgers and fries as well. Their fries are surprisingly good. I have yet to order a burger from Del Taco, because if I wanted a burger Del Taco is not what pops into my head. I like their quesadillas, tacos, fish tacos, and macho nachos. If you go you have to get their Macho Nachos. This is a ton of nachos piled with everything that should be on nachos.
Prices: $6.85 for a fish taco, chicken quesadilla, and a big fat chicken taco

Moe's Mexican Grill is the Restaurant of the Day for August, 2
Moe's Mexican Grill is just like Q'doba or Chipotle, except Moe's has a salsa bar and they give you chips for free. If Q'doba or Chipotle were to do these things then I would like them all the same. But I can pick my salsa and I get chips I like Moe's better.
Similar to Q'doba or Chipotle, at Moe's you pick the stuff you want or don't want on your burrito, tacos, or nachos as you walk down the line. The only Moe's that I know of around here is the one off Olive. It is packed at lunch time. I get what they call the "Home wrecker" It has your choice of meat, beans, rice, sour cream, and salsa. I usually add queso cheese on it as well. This burrito is so good, you better be hungry, because it is huge.
Prices: At Moe's you will pay about $8.50 for a burrito, and a drink.

El Torero Mexican Restaurant is Restaurant of the Day for July 25
El Torero
Phone: 618-451-1177
3439 Nameoki Rd
Granite City, IL 62040
El Torero looks like a new Mexican restaurant in town. I think they try to hard to appeal to the American public, it is almost tacky. They have an American flag in their name, American flags in the writing in the booths, and all over the place. If I wanted American food I would of went to McDonald’s, but I want Mexican that is why I went here.
To start out they brought us some chips and salsa. The salsa was the best part. It was a little spicy, which is good, they were not scared to turn people off by the salsa being too spicy, unlike every other Mexican restaurant. The menu was very usual. It feels like if you have been to one Mexican restaurant you have been to them all. They have about 10 lunch specials which are very cheap. I ordered the lunch taco, thinking it was a taco because that is what the menu said, but when the server brought it out it was a taco salad. I was disappointed, and wondered why they would tease any one like that. I guarantee that someone else has done this same thing at this restaurant. So as you can tell they have bad descriptions on their menu. The taco salad was a shell filled with chicken, lettuce and sour cream. It was pretty plain for my taste. This place would be a place to go to if you are in the mood for Mexican, but it didn’t hit the spot for me.
Prices: I paid $4.50 for a lunch taco salad. Other than that the prices are just as much as any other Mexican place.

Q'doba is the restaurant of the day for July 18
Qdoba Mexican Grill
I ate there for lunch today and this is what I think.
Qdoba is like a Mexican Subway. Pick your burrito, tacos or nachos and pick the toppings to go on it. It is a good place to go and grab a quick burrito when you are short on time. The burritos are huge. Qdoba has very good burritos and great queso cheese dip. The best thing to do is to get the queso on the burrito. I like the queso burrito with chicken. I went back again and got the shredded beef queso burrito. They are both very good. The shredded beef is tender and something different than just getting chicken. The nachos always look good. Next time I go back I am going to get the nachos.
Prices: I ordered a shredded beef queso burrito and a drink for about $8.
What do you think about Q'doba. Do you like it? hate it? think they should do something better.
