Favorite restaurant in stl - Edit
One of my favorite restaurants in stl! Love all the vegan options, have tried almost all the options on the vegan menu! Every item is great, the enchiladas weren’t my favorite but everything else has been so good!

Diego’s Cantina is owned by the wife and husband who own Frida’s and Station No.3. I was never a big fan of Frida’s food, but Station No.3 wooed me, so I wasn’t sure what to expect from Diego’s, but I was hopeful.

The restaurant is beautiful. Evening service is dim, so it could be great for date night or those allergic to bright lights. There’s a small patio if you like outdoor dining.
Food: 3/10
Vegan Loaded Nachos were fine in taste but lacking in the “loaded” category. For over $15 you get a ton of tortilla chips (some overcooked), topped with refried pinto beans, a little corn, a little jalapeño crema, cilantro, and lots of white onions and shredded radish. It’s supposed to come with jalapeños too, but they forgot them. (I asked for them and just took them to go with the leftovers) I’ve never liked cheese, so it didn’t really bother me that there wasn’t a vegan cheese; I would’ve omitted it anyway. But I can hear vegans complaining about this; most people love their cheese. If you want to add black beans or vegan steak seitan, it’s gonna cost you a few dollars more for each.
Small guacamole. The taste was fine, but for $5 I’d like more than a nano-scoop.
Vegan Street Corn - just burnt corn.
My friend and God-sister are both meat eaters and got fish tacos. Each complained about the lack of flavor and seasoning. One was even so brazen as to ask our waitress who was cooking the food. That was too much, but the answer didn’t surprise us.
The waitress admitted that Diego’s serves “healthy Mexican.” So if your palette is on the bland, no flavor, no spice spectrum, this is your place. For me, Imma need them to have several seats, preferably in front of a spice cabinet.
I do not drink alcohol, but I hear the drinks are good.
