I would give this restaurant a 3.5 out of 5, but I think I need to try more things on their menu.
I get my hair cut by this restaurant and it seems to always be busy. It is in a strip mall on the north side of LSL and 70.
I was surprised by the 20 minute wait. The actual rooms are much bigger inside than I would have expected from a strip mall restaurant. It also has some rather cool Mexican/Aztec style decorations...different than the typical El Maguey decorations that are so typical all over St. Charles county.
The chips and salsa are about the same.
Mike got a large margarita. He said it was good...probably not homemade.
I had shrimp diavolo. This is typically shrimp in a spicy sauce. I then put the shrimp on tortillas with lettuce, etc. This dish was totally different. It was a base of rice, then they poured melted white cheese all over the rice. Then there was lettuce, tomato and avacado on top of the cheese. The shrimp were cooked in a spicy sauce and poured over the lettuce. There were many things that did not work.
The cheese over the rice made a hard bottom that stuck to the plate. The hot shrimp and sauce just wilted all the lettuce/tomato. Also, the sauce on the shrimp was not very spicy. The waiter actually asked me if it was too spicy. I told him no, so he brought me out some spicy salsa. It was too different of a kind of salsa and it was just heat...no actual flavor. There were no tortillas...it was just eaten with a fork. 
Mike got a trio of items (burrito, enchilada, and taquito)...all with beef in them. He said they were fine. The taquito (rolled taco) was quite good as it was homemade and especially fresh. 
This place has a very high ceiling and is very loud. It has some homemade items and we may come back to try some other things, but I didn't especially love my first impression.
