Reviews for LA Taco Cantina in Maryland Heights, MO
We ordered take out yesterday evening, spent over $62 dollars.. All the chips were ice cold, like they had been in the... refrigerator. The tacos were good. The rice was gross.. tasted like it had salt & pepper on the rice but no other flavor and itwas a weird light green color. The beans were flavorless and gross. The enchiladas.. the sauce tasted like tomato sauce. Thepork enchilada filling wasn't very good. The lamb and cheese enchilada filling was good. Salsa was good. All in all, we won't bereturning.

This small joint in St. Louis is amazingly well kept. The Waitress was amazing and came super prepared, the family vibe this... place gives off is inviting and definitely worth the peak. As I am sitting, they bring out these chips and salsa, the chipsappear to be under done as a few were a touch soggy. The salsa was delicious and had an absolute lovely touch of spice to it.Little less chips in the fryer should fix the problem of soggy chips. Ordered a side of Spanish rice and it tasted freshlymade. The rice was el dente and the corn gave it a nice yellow color with some added flavor. I ordered the Cantina signatureburrito, with no black beans and no Guacamole. Let me tell you about this burrito, it is FULL the rice complimented the beef andthe redsauce with melted cheese was a very nice touch, this burrito was rolled and baked in the oven and is definitely worthwhat they are making. If you haven't been to this small little joint, it is definitely recommended. Awesome people, great food,and a LOVELY vibe. Read more
Big menu options and large portion sizes. I loved my fajita chicken bowl and hubby loved his soft tacos. We loved it that we... get free nacho chips and salsa as appetizers. They were yummy too. The whole team were very friendly and attentive. Cocktailswere great too! Read more
So this place was very interesting. Starting out strong with the raspberry margarita and house made chips and salsa were... absolutely delicious, however that didn?t carry through to the other items on the menu. The Mexican rice shocked me the most,white rice, chicken bouillon seasoning with corn mixed in is what we were served. I have never seen Mexican rice not have a redtint to it and I never want to again. The guacamole was average, the ?street corn? was doused in southwest sauce and was awfuland our chicken tacos were very bland. I would go back for drinks, chips and salsa but nothing else. Read more
Overall a very pleasurable experience. I'll start with the salsa it wasn't the generic tomato paste most places throw out and... call it a salsa. There's has a nice roasted pepper taste, but this will be a first on the hotter variant not being as flavorfulit was more heat yes but just as bland. On to the dishes, the barria tacos...what can you say there barria. The sauted pepperswere full of flavor and tender. The two side tacos were the nashville Taco which the chicken had a nice crunch but was overpowered by the fried pickles, but the asada Taco was exactly as I'd want. And last the grande burrito while not grande was stillfilling. While not perfect, it was good and we will be going back! Read more
Great atmosphere and staff. The steak and crispy onion tacos are my favorite. You have to try those along with the BLT taco,... puffy taco and Philly taco. The signature burrito ???? is worth your pallet too. They also have a wide variety of tequilasbehind the bar. You won't be disappointed! Read more
I ordered food for pickup on a Sunday and the service wasn't that great. They told me it would be ready in 15 minutes, I arrived... 25 minutes later and there was still a wait. There was one person waiting tables, bartending, and handling the phone & walk-inorders. I had to remind her to give me my drink and I didn't receive any utensils to eat with or napkins. The food was meh forme. I wouldn't order the enchiladas again. There was not enough green sauce or flavor. I've never seen flautas presented in theway that they were here, folded up like burritos. I prefer a crispy flauta but they were soft and tasted just okay. The queso,beans, and salsa was also just okay. I probably won't be returning. Read more
This place is a VIBE. Everyone is chill and friendly. It?s a small place with that Diamond-in-the-rough sort of feel to it. The... portions are HUGE and very well made. I am absolutely a fan of this place! Check it out if you?re in Maryland Heights! Read more
