Mission Taco Joint Historic Soulard

We had a burrito, a chicken quesadilla, and two margs. The chicken quesadilla was cut into 4 pieces. There was one small piece of chicken on each 1/4th. Very disappointing. The margaritas were the house margarita. They did not have much flavor (or alcohol), and they were all ice. The brah-burrito was good (had lots of beef), but it was not very hot (temperature). For $50 before tip, it was very disappointing.

Only come here if you want to witness their condescending staff firsthand. I came here with my friends (all in our mid-twenties) for dinner. It took about 10 minutes to be seen by anyone at our table, which was whatever. Then we ordered drinks and the server checked each of our IDs and walked away. 5-10 minutes pass, then another staff member comes to look at our IDs. We provide them again. She makes weird comments about how they look strange and takes her time inspecting each one. She walks away. 5 minutes after that, a third staff member comes over to take our IDs. He takes them back in the kitchen, spends a few minutes with them, and then comes back out to tell us they look a little sketchy and he won 't serve us. All in all, we sat there for 35-40 minutes, only to have our IDs passed around the staff and served nothing. They did not explain what they deemed to be the problems with any of our IDs. Just that they looked sketchy . When we ended up leaving, the rest of their staff gave us dirty looks as we walked out. I remind you: We are all well over 21. We all have legitimate state of Missouri issued IDs. This place sucks. Total waste of time.

My first time here, and I’ve got to say I don’t know what all the hype is. It cost $50 for two to have a taco lunch. The soda was flat and syrupy, the $5 side of beans were tasteless, the cheese they use is tasteless, and the steak in my carna asada tacos was gristle tough. Yuck! They don’t even give you a basket of chips salsa (costs $5) Service was also meh…Jake, our server, even left the flat soda charge on my bill after I sent it back and got water instead. Lesson learned, ever again.

The food was good. The server was an airhead. We sat outside, but there are only 4 tops, but a group of people decided that they were going to sit together and drug a couple of tables together and pretty much blocked the sidewalk. The staff did nothing. Maybe IF we go back, we'll check on inside seating.

We were sat right away, which was nice. It took server a few minutes to come over, which was fine because he was really nice. Our food came out pretty quickly, the ONLY item that was bearable to really eat was the carne asada fries that we ordered as an appetizer; the tacos had literally no flavor whatsoever (you would be better off going to Taco Bell).. not sure what’s going on in the kitchen but they need some seasoning lessons or something! Service and the fries were the only things good about this place. Do not recommend.
