Came around 7pm on a Thursday with my husband and there was about a 20 minute wait to get a table. Apparently that’s pretty common and a good sign if they are always that busy no matter the day. We got margaritas from the bar and sat … More

This place is fantastic, and it showed in the wait time. Still we waited, and more people kept coming in after us. It was loud and extremely busy. Ordered a margarita while doing so. The food & wait staff was top notch. The atmosphere is really cool. Everything about this place, will keep you coming back for more. More

Great place, would give it a 5 star but no corn tortillas with my posole which is standard and no rice and beans with my sopes which is standard. The staff couldn’t afford to eat here on their day off. 5 of us was $160 plus tip $190 More

Absolutely delicious. The salsa, queso, and chips were really good. I got the California burrito and do not underestimate when the waitress tells you. It’s their largest burrito. This could easily feed two people. The kids nachos are really good. They’ve got chicken or beef and the chicken ones were really good. Everything was perfect More

Mrs. HB and I wanted something for dinner located somewhere on E. Sunshine, so we stopped in at Cesar's Old Mexico.
The wait was not too bad (20 minutes), considering the parking lot was packed. … More

Very tasty Mexican restaurant with visibly vibrant, fresh ingredients. Salsa tastes fresh and not from a jar. Meals were flavored with sautéed and grilled peppers and onions. I have had both steak and chicken here and never wondered what … More

Food was delicious, nice flavor and authentic Mexican vibes. Tortilla chips were fresh and the salsa was good. However, prices are a bit on the higher side which may not align with the casual diner out on a lunch date. If you're willing to spend a bit more for tasty food, it's worth a visit! More

This restaurant is always busy so they must be doing something right. Food was very good with generous portions. Service was excellent. The restaurant is fairly loud so it makes it difficult to have a real conversation. Overall a positive experience and I plan on returning. More

If you want authentic Mexican food in Missouri, this is the place to go. Ever tried lengua? Try it in a taco you will love it! Look up what it is afterwards. The staff is great, the kitchen is staffed by Mexicans, they know what they are doing. The food pops and you will love it! Have a margarita, you won't regret it. More

Our first time here. It was so good!! Seriously, on a cold winter day in the future, I'd buy some "to go" for home. Eating inside is so fun. I love the decor and colors. But I can see eating tacos on a cold snowy day at home!! 👏👏👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 … More
