We first tried El Salto a month or two ago. We shouldn't have waited. The food is SO SO SO good. We love the queso birria. These are tacos with delicious braised beef and melty cheese. The chile Colorado beef is also excellent. Very rich sauce with just the right amount of sauce. The tamales and enchiladas are also delicious. In fact, everything we've tried is good. This place is a favorite.

Very clean. Very friendly and attentive. The food was better than the average Mexican place in the St. Louis area.

Excellent service, food, and atmosphere! Need to check them out! Very clean and upbeat decor! Definitely recommend to stop in!

Second attempt to eat here, first attempt we found out they didn't have their liquor license yet, so we opted to wait. They now have their liquor license! We arrived and were greeted and seated quickly, chips and salsa were brought out and water all around. We weren't rushed and drink orders were taken. We ordered our food and actually had a to go order as well; not a problem! The food came out quickly and was wonderful! I had the steak fajita burrito (lunch size), my friend had the pollo con arroz and loved it! We didn't try the margaritas as we are both wine drinkers but the wine prices are GREAT! Very friendly service, nice Mexican themed music playing in the background (not too loud, just right), and the food was delicious! Give them a try, you won't be disappointed!

Went in today for lunch with some former co-workers and had a great experience. They weren't crowded, probably because Chesterfield Mall is closing, but service was very fast and we did not feel rushed at all. Tables are lovely and not over crowded. The lunch specials are really reasonably priced and portions are very generous- I've got at least another meal coming from the leftovers. I heard from a friend that they no longer have a liquor license, so probably wouldn't go in the evening until they have margaritas back on the menu, but for and early lunch it was just fine. Particularly enjoyed the beef chimichanga since the beef was shaved steak and well seasoned. For the price I had expected ground beef, so it was a pleasant surprise. Check them out when you're in Chesterfield!

I'm thrilled I gave this place a chance--it's truly a hidden gem! We went for lunch, and the place wasn't crowded. It's quite spacious with friendly staff. The complimentary salsa and chips were perfect! The salsa had a delicious taste, slightly spicy and citrusy. Absolutely delightful! I had the nachos with ground beef and shredded chicken, and they were incredibly good! The portion was generous for the price, and the nachos were loaded with guacamole, sour cream, and delicious cheese. My kid had the taco salad and loved it. She was pleased because it wasn't dry like at most places. It was very fresh and flavorful. My husband had the lunch combo number 2. The crunchy taco was, according to him, the best he's ever had, and the chile relleno was also delicious. The highlight was the barbacoa street taco! I'm so happy to have finally found an authentic street taco. We will definitely be going back!

Came here with a group of friends to celebrate the holidays and to exchange gifts with a White Elephant game. We came in very early at 11:30am and we had the place to ourselves. The service was very attentive. We ordered pitchers of margaritas for the table and they promptly arrived! The provided us with an extra table to put our gifts at. It felt as if we had a private party since we were seated towards the left of the bar area in a more private area. I ordered the chilaquiles verdes with two eggs on top. They were good and everyone else in my group ordered a mixed fajita lunch portion with steak, shrimp and chicken. They were all very happy with their meal and the portion size. Overall a great experience! We will be returning for sure.

El Salto is located adjacent to the Chesterfield Mall and recently moved in in the last few months. We went for dinner and enjoyed the experience. We were greeted right away and taken to a booth in their main room. Our server arrived shortly thereafter providing complimentary chips and salsa and water. Unfortunately they still do not have a liquor license as of now, so no margaritas or beers this go around. I was happy with the chips and salsa: crispy chips and flavorful salsa matters and they had both! We ordered the street tacos and quesabirria tacos and we were both very happy. The street tacos were filled with plenty of protein with cilantro & onions. The meat & fish was very flavorful. The quesabirria tacos were exactly what I was looking for and the sauce had an awesome kick of heat (as it should!). Service was very quick and easy, our food came out timely and every tasted great.
