    My boyfriend and I ate there about 6 months ago and it was terrible. If cheap prices & crap food is your top priority then this is the place for you. A mexican restaurant should at least get a taco, a staple, right. The meat in the taco was just steamed hamburger. No seasoning. The same for the chimi. There are a few great Mexican restaurants in STL, this is not one of them. I would rather eat at taco bell then this place. Other Mexican restaurants to try-Arcelia's, Hacienda in Rock Hill, Nacho Mama's, and of course Chuy Arzola's. Chuy's is famous for their fajitas, they marinate them and it is the best quality of fajita meat I have ever had. Now that Chuy's is back, give them a try. All of these restaurant's have great flavor and the food is quality. I wouldn't waste my time or money going to Chimichanga's again.

    I used to work there (at both locations) and let me tell ya, it's not anywhere near what everybody thinks it is!! If you knew what happens behind the scenes, you'd never eat there again. I am surprised they're not shut down yet. I tried to bring it up the food standards, but I was fought every step of the way. I take pride in my food, but they don't and I had to leave after six months, because I couldn't stand what the restaurant was doing. If you value your stomach, don't go. Watch out for crawlies!

    I have been a customer at this restaurant since they opened over 5 years ago, I can tell you that I have been "behind the scenes" and I have no idea what you are talking about "Top Chef". From what I have seen, everything, from the food to the margaritas, at Chimichanga's is top notch - otherwise I would not go back. Could you please provide more specific information as to what is so wrong at this restaurant? When did you work there? You sound like a disgruntled former employee....if you ever really worked there at all.

    Excellant food for the price!!! If you like margaritas and you have nothing to do the rest of the night than enjoy!! Me and my wife have been there many times we enjoy the fajitas for one because the protion is sooo much it feeds two. They have the lowerst prices in town and being a patron of every mexican restaurant this side of the river we enjoy everything they have to offer. The outside patio is excellant!! It's a very laid back atmosphere which we enjoy. Sit back and enjoy the margaritas it's party time!!
