Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Food here is great. We ordered dinner and food was at the table in about 5 minutes. Then we ordered dessert. When we were done, the manager asked if anything was wrong and when we said no, he asked if we were done because there...were people waiting. We weren’t even there an hour. I have never ever been to a restaurant where we told we were staying too long.More

We have always gone to the El Mezon at 79 and 70 and it is very good. But, recently, we have gone to the one in Lake St. Louis. The food is pretty much the same….delicious!!! But the atmosphere is much nicer! It seems much...larger there and the decor is interesting and it is not as noisy. But again, at either of these two, the food is so good!!More

I love pineapple and they were willing to add it to any dish. I had it added to a quesadilla. Service was quick and pleasant. I would return if in the area.

Great experience this weekend. Seated a group of 14 quickly. Good was delicious and drinks are beautiful and sooooo good. I recommend the tropical frozen drink and the street tacos. Highly recommend!!!! Only thing I found odd was that you wrote your own name and...party size on the waitlist but would not stop us from returning. (Also within walking distance from our hotel)More

We went to El Mezon while visiting family in O’Fallon and they had not tried El Mezon either. We are all sold on this restaurant. We will return when we visit again and I think they will become regular customers. We were seated quickly and...we’ll taken care of soon after sitting down. The staff were all super friendly and the service was fast. The food was amazing! Great job El Mezon!More

We arrived shortly after El Mezon opened at 5 PM. By the time we were leaving the restaurant was very busy with many families and younger patrons. And this was a Tuesday evening. We enjoyed our meal and the table wait service was very good....The owner/Manager made sure we were comfortable and taken care of during the meal. A nice atmosphere with friendly service at a good price.More

Wow, the reviews are all over the place. Not for us, this was a great meal. My wife ordered a HUGE sampler plate of appetizers, over the waiter's warning that this was a lot of food. I had the chicken fajitas. Both dishes were outstanding!...Our waiter was a bit of a cut up, pleasantly so. Place was busy, and no social distancing. Being December, their fairly large patio was not open. In spite of some bad reviews, there must be a reason this is rated the #1 Mexican restaurant in St. Peters. It appears they have a second location in O'Fallon. Can't wait to try that location. PS - we took home about half of the appetizer dish. That was lunch for 2 the next day! Da KupunaMore

Loved! The food was great and the service was outstay! The place was packed and the waitress made sure we were taken care of and took time to help me with recommendations. My husbands drinks never ran out. The atmosphere was great for the evening...and it was packed; yet we had plenty of room to celebrate and enjoy. The Beer is cold and the Margaritas are fantastic I ordered the Beef fajitas and was not disappointed!More

Our first time visiting this restaurant. The food was average--no better than any other Mexican restaurant in the area and on some dishes we had it was worse than other places we've eaten at. However the service was the worst we've had at a restaurant...in a very long time. We were basically ignored after ordering our food and after food was delivered. My only guess as to why this place has so many good reviews is that people are too busy enjoying their alcohol that they aren't paying much attention to the food quality. Also, didn't bother us but for those that have concerns about Covid--there was no social distancing of seating parties at tables. We won't be back.More

Visited El Mezon Authentic Mexican Restaurant for a weekday lunch with a family member. Ordered the combination plate (rice and beans) with two soft chicken tacos. Overall, food was good and server was very friendly. However, service was slow. Portions were generous and food was...reasonably priced.More

This place has a great patio and gets suggested on local pages as a great Mexican place so we thought we would give it a try. I ordered the fajita salad. Maybe we hit them on a bad day. The shell was so stale that...you couldn’t break it. The meat for the fajitas was not browned or grilled as is typical but were so hot in some places and coolish in other places so I think they were nuked. The onions although cooked weren’t browned either. No peppers that I could see. The salt level was 0/10. The seasoning level was also 0/10. The salad was pretty much tasteless. My husband got the taco salad and the meat seasoning was 1/10 for it otherwise tasteless. If you don’t like anything spicey, you will be very safe here.More

We should have known when we walked in and started sliding around on the greasy floor that it was going to be trouble. It wasn't busy, but service was horrible. Very slow, had to ask for things (napkins, water, etc) several times and between 3...people waiting on us, it still took forever. Top shelf margs were just ok. Ordered the steak burrito and the tortilla was doughy, the beef had that weird smell meat gets after it has gone bad. Their kitchen is very visible and there was food all over the counters and floors. The entire experience was one of the worst ever. Would give zero starts if that were an option.More
