Happened in on the advice of a friend, and so glad I did. Tasty and uniquely crafted/named drinks and food. Great service with warm reception by all. Loved hanging with Naomi and Rebecca. A must try!

What a fun spot! The birria tacos will change your life!! The drinks are not outrageous and several really pack a punch! We spent 70 with top for 4 drinks and 4 tacos, great date night! I saw a sign that suggested Wednesdays are happy hour all day, I'm not sure but I think regular happy hour is 5-7 during the week

Five stars aren't enough to express the awesomeness I always experience at Rock Star Tacos! Not only is the service personable and fun, but every single dish I've tried has been phenomenally yummy. I have severe dietary restrictions and the staff has been so very helpful in helping me navigate the menu. My recent birthday dinner there included guests that were gluten free, vegan, and just overall picky children and we ALL left with full tummies and happy hearts. The Rock Star popcorn is a spot-on appetizer, but don't be fooled - you need to order the chips and salsa as well! I don't know what they're doing differently, but it's definitely working! Be sure to try the tamales as well as something from the bar. The seasonal bar menu is exciting to explore and offers a number of super yummy and imaginative mocktails as well as some seriously amazing margaritas. If I could only eat at one restaurant for the rest of my life, I'm pretty sure it would be Rock Star Tacos!!!

What are amazing gem of an establishment if you’re looking for a fun, casual place to dine with delicious Mexican fare, some of the best cocktails around as well as one of the widest selections of Tequila in all of St. Louis! Not only is their selection of tequila amazing, they also make many of their syrups, bitters and other cocktail components in house which delivers a far superior result than most places. We attended a Beastie Boys trivia night and it was so much fun! If you are looking for a new place to enjoy, I highly recommend this fun and casual restaurant.

Tacos were each unique and really good. I could have kept putting them down. Atmosphere was great. Staff were all super friendly and helpful for us out of towners w kids.

A good friend took us to this place on Friday night, and guess what, we went back Saturday night again. The different taco options are amazing. I think we probably tried 5 or 6 total. And the egg rolls, wow!!! I would have been back today if they were open! and can't forget they make amazing simple syrups in house. If you love a good old fashion, stop in and choose your syrup flavor from the weekly syrups posted. You won't be disappointed. Everyone was incredibly friendly and just an overall good vibe. Great job Rockstar tacos!
