Looking for somewhere different to eat? Would restaurant reviews by real people who are interested in good food and a real value be of any use? I for one am always in search of a good restaurant and thought I would share my experiences with you. I am not attempting to review every restaurant in town here, only those that I thoroughly enjoy and would highly recommend. This is basically a list of my favorite restaurants in St. Louis. This list will be slowly expanding, roughly in proportion to my waistline. Hopefully I will be able to offer you a nice introduction to dining and some of the best deals in St. Louis. Let me know if you try one of these restaurants - all comments are welcome.

Pueblo Solis -- 5127 Hampton -- 314-351-9000
If you are looking for good authentic Mexican food, and a casual, yet intimatre atmosphere, then you need to try Pueblo Solis on Hampton. This is not a large commercialized restaurant; Pueblo Solis may only hold 35-40 people, so I wouldn't recommend a large group. The wait is worth it, but if you don't like waiting, try going before dinner or after the rush.

At Pueblo Solis, you aren't greeted with a basket of store bought chips and some watered down salsa. Instead, the chips are home-made and you have three different salsa's to choose from. The margaritas are excellent at Pueblo Solis, as is everything on the menu. After dinner, the owner will usually come out to make sure you enjoyed your meal. Something you don't see very often these days. Don't forget to try the Mango Cheesecake or the sopapilla as both are great desserts! Pueblo Solis is by far the best Mexican restaurant in St. Louis.
