The food here is really good. It helps to know how to speak spanish or have somebody with you that speaks espanola! My friend ordered refried beans, rice, poblanos and fried jalapenos for the both of us. The service was wonderful. The value for the money was excellent. They have the best chips and salsa!

Let me start by saying that some of you may be a tad put off by the manner in which I share this review, and yet, it’s my hope that you’ll be able to appreciate that these are my feelings, thoughts and perspectives, and that yours may be wholly and completely different than mine in every conceivable way. Cool?
Cool.
We have used and heard the word “authentic” so many times, that for me, it seems to have lost whatever organic earthiness that it may have originally held. Truly, what is “authentic”? Is it a single restaurant owned by a person or family? Is it two, or three places to eat that have the same family recipes? What is “authentic”, really?
As I confessed, I don’t really know any more. I really don’t.
So when I talk about Palacio’s Mexican Restaurant, as much as I want to stand on a chair and espouse the virtues of “authentic” cuisine, I won’t. I won’t because I personally think that this place deserves “better”.
And even with that, one has to consider how varied tastes and preferences are from one person to the next, right?
Right.
Palacio’s is not a place where you’re likely to park you new Range Rover and feel at ease with not being able to see it. Located in Dutchtown at 4101 S. Grand, you’re as likely to see people fighting across the street as you are people minding their own business. I am not speaking ill of the residents of that area, and yet, let’s not pretend that there aren’t some social challenges that exist either. But for me, since I am who I am, I don’t worry so much about locale and “crime”, race and economic disparity and social constructs.
I came for the food.
Sharon and I had a completely different feelings when even walking through the front door. For her, it reminded her of places she’d eaten at in Zimbabwe. For me, the pool table in your face when you walk in, along with the bar to the right, and on the day we were there, boxes and boxes on the actual bar itself, well, let’s just say that I wondered if this was a place I really wanted to patronize. In other words, I can honestly say that my beloved and I had completely different expectations.
Suffice to say that if decor and fine-dining are your thing, well, this is not the place for you.
If real, heartfelt interaction from the staff is what you’re after, well then, head on in, seat yourself and indulge. Margarita was our server, and is also the owner’s daughter. She was a pleasure. Patient, solicitous and frankly, she was cool people.
Anyway, Sharon just told me that this too long, so I will wrap this up.
I had a burrito that rocked my world. Real steak that is cooked and seasoned in a way that let’s you know that it’s not Tex-mex (which I abhor), and more, the portion sizes are the kind that give you the feeling that you’ve gone to someone’s house and they’ve fed you enough to hope that you’ll come back again and again.
Sharon had Menudo. She loves it and she raved over this one. Me, not so much, and yet, I have to admit, this was tasty to me. Again, I am not a fan, and yet, the seasoning and varied hints of it all together was quite pleasing.
In the end, if you want a fare that’s not Tex-Mex, and gives you the feeling and the sense that you’re at someone’s home and that they’re trying to impress you with their food and low-key atmosphere, well, then this might be for you.
If you need 5-Star cuisine and linen tablecloths, you’ll not find it here.
Finally, I don’t talk price because for me, that’s relative to the pleasure I get from the meal and for me and Sharon, it was worth every dollar.
In every way.

Loved the margarita, the tacos, guacamole, and the fajitas we had here. Everything was very fresh! I also loved listening to their music selection. Last but not least, the staff were very kind and respectful.
It’s a wonderful family restaurant and I wish them the best.
To the family who own this restaurant, muchas gracias!

The owner, Hector, very kindly hosted a neighborhood meeting and catered the entire event. It was extremely reasonably priced and everything was delicious. He was a wonderful host. You can tell this is place is run by a family of caring individuals.

I always forget to review, but excellent family owned Mexican restaurant. From the menudo all the way down to the bean burritos this place hits. Highly recommend.

Authentically Mexican! The outside of the restaurant looks shady, the sign is is a spray painted board and there is a boarded up window. But, all staff and customers I saw seemed hispanic. I felt like I was able to have an authentic experience with the food I ordered!

Very authentic and family oriented. Tacos are amazing. I highly recommend giving them a try. The chorizo is a homemade recipe.

The best tacos I’ve had since moving to STL. Awesome friendly staff, great drinks in handmade clay mugs, and the tacos are legit authentic (AKA made by a tia or abuela. The barbacoa was perfect, can’t wait to frequent this hidden gem more.
