   Great service and tasty food! Surprised by how good the bean dip was! Guacamole was a little onion-y. Loved our tacos - shrimp and fish were the 2 favs!

   Diego’s is a fantastic dining experience all around. The service is always absolutely superb - friendly, accommodating, prompt and enjoyable. Our waiter was witty, respectful and always ready to help make the experience the best it could be with recommendations and service. Now to the food - it’s the best. The grilled cheese shell is phenomenal….PHENOMENAL. A MUST. The margaritas are delicious with light, fruity flavor options that aren’t overly sweet. The queso is flaming, literally they light it on fire. And the grilled banana dessert is the perfect little sweet ending to a meal. The atmosphere is delightful with greenery and twinkle lights and cozy details all around. This place is trendy and cozy all at once with excellent service and food for decent prices. It’s one of my favorites and I highly recommend.

   The food here is always amazing but unfortunately our server Michael made our experience not only uncomfortable by giving us attitude more than once but also had messed up an order for someone who is vegetarian by serving her meat & charged alcohol on the tab of someone who is sober. Instead of apologizing he immediately blamed her for his mess up saying that she talked too much & got him confused on the order. To clarify on this particular interaction, she was asking questions about the soup and wanted the vegetarian/vegan option. To wrap up the night we wanted to do a round of shots, one other patron at our table is sober so we wanted to still include him so we asked for a "melted snowman shot", it's fine if he didn't know the term for a shot glass of water & we tried to explain it to him but he again got aggressive with his tone & became argumentative as well as making backhanded comments on our intelligence. Once he brought us back our round of shots, he once again tried to belittle our intelligence by saying what we ordered (melted snowman shot) was actually called an angel shot. Everyone at our table has worked in the industry before & immediately corrected this. An angel shot is code for "I need help because I don't feel safe", I hope that going forward the staff is educated on this term since it is universally known in the bar and restaurant industry & can really help save someone from danger. Of course we calmly tried to correct him but his tone got loud & aggressive once again, so we decided to close out our tabs. We wanted to leave immediately so we didn't even look at our tabs while closing out but my friend who doesn't drink realized his tab was higher than it should have been. We asked for receipts but after waiting for ~5 minutes & he didn't bring them we asked the bartender who gave it to us right away, sure enough he was charged for alcohol.

   Diego's CantinaResponded on December 11, 2022Hi Alexandra, We are absolutely horrified you had such an experience with our server. Michael is no longer employed with our company and we hope you visit again soon. Thank you for the informative details that helped us make such a decision.

    Loved the atmosphere. Very fun. The enchiladas were very good. The salsa was too tangy for me, and the house margaritas too tart.

    Great evening on the patio. This has become one of our favorites places. The food, service and atmosphere always makes us feel like we are on vacation. We had the dumpling soup (chochoyotes I think); I had the vegan one and my husband had the one with chicken. Will definitely order again and again.

    Great Mexican food. Vegan options. Margaritas with fresh squeezed juice. So much better than the chains. And the decor is great. The kitchen messed up my order, but other than that, we all really enjoyed it.

    This was our first time and we can't wait to return! We sat on the patio - lots of shade - and started with the shrimp app and flaming cheese - both tasty. Michael was really informative about the "best items" and his recommendation of the shrimp taco was spot-on! Best taco I have had, with a cheesy layer in the shell. The Purist margaritas are exactly my style, but they had lots of options.

    This was our second time trying this place. The first time food and service were good, but it was too loud. This time service was slow. The appetizer was great, but the rest of the food came out cold. We sat inside by the front windows and when the sun came back out after the rain, it was blinding. Maybe some kind of solar shade could help. We paid out bill quickly and left. We won’t be back.

    Diego's CantinaResponded on August 22, 2022Hi GailF. Our apologies that your second experience wasn't up to your expectations. We did not go into business to provide sub par or slow service. The fact is, we are severely short staffed and have some new employees that are still training. I hope you can understand that we are doing our best. Thanks for the recommendation on the sunshade.

    Our dinner at Diego's was the best upscale Mexican we've had in St. Louis. The drinks (margheritas), appetizer (flaming queso) and entrees were perfect. They were unique, interesting, well prepared and well seasoned. Servings were just the right size for the table, and were exciting to eat based on flavors, textures, colors and presentation. The service was incredible. Our server paced the drinks and appetizers to give us time to enjoy each others coming but not so much to have the evening drag. He was chatty but not intrusive, present but not overbearing, gracious but not subservient. We've never been to Diego's before, but we will definitely be back and we have already recommended Diego's to several friends.
