Mission Taco - "Your Late Night Taco Truck Got Rained On And Decided To Move Into A Restaurant. Ended Up Liking Being Inside. Settled Down. Had A Family. Mission Was Make More Tacos."

It's late. You live in St. Louis, Missouri. You are hungry, incredibly so. You are thinking that your sole six option are Dennys, Uncle Bills, Steak N Shake, McDonald's, Coffee Cartel, and iHop. All of these have one thing in common: American cuisine. We need a wake up call or something for this late night food drought we have in our city.

Mission Taco landed in our city a couple or so years ago. They are a late night Mexican-gourmet restaurant with cheap and delicioso tacos. When I say late, I'm talking until 1am Monday - Saturday, and midnight on Sundays.

They are fairly busy on most evenings, so I would get there as soon as possible. You have to pay for the chips and salsa, but dropping $3 for chips until your salsa runs out isn't robbery of your piggy bank. On top of that, paying an average of $3 per taco is a good way of getting you and your date a night of taco eating and even a cab ride home. Yes, the drinks follow the trend of remaining relatively cheap compared to other bars; many Mexican restaurants have lower average prices on shots and beer.

It used to be located at one location in the Delmar Loop. These guys were smart and opened two new spots in drinking capitals within St. Louis: Central West End and Soulard. Nothing better to soak up that alcohol than with chips and tacos.
