El Toluco Taqueria Restaurant

The 37 Best Restaurants in St. Louis, Missouri | Eater

"St. Louis is home to many stellar Mexican restaurants serving tacos and chicharrones, but for truly beautiful and monstrous tortas, head to El Toluco. Attached to a small tienda in a nondescript strip mall in the suburb of Manchester, the restaurant has become a destination dining spot. Tortas are made with football-sized freshly baked loaves and filled with meat, queso fresco, Oaxacan cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and jalapeños, all punctuated by a smoky chipotle sauce. If that’s not enough justification to make the lengthy drive to West County, the pollo con nopales and lengua tacos are also exceptional." - Holly Fann
