Taqueria Durango
If you could only go to one Mexican restaurant on the STL 100? Don’t make me choose. If you and a large group could only go to one Mexican restaurant on the STL 100? That’s an easy call. Taqueria Durango, which on my visits over the years has never lacked a crowd in spite of its awkward back-from-the-road location. The menu offers something for almost every palate, from the signature torta ahogada to breakfast fare to shrimp cocktail. Taco aficionados will appreciate the range of available fillings, and everyone will agree on the creamy, spicy chori-queso dip to begin.
