Los Cuates Store and Mexican Restaurant in Columbia Missouri is a hidden little gem. Authentic Mexican food made fresh. The service is fantastic, there is a restaurant on the top floor of the building and a store on the bottom. The present menu includes chicharrones, caldo de Rez, tacos, Quesadillas and more. They also have made to order cakes for graduations, parties and other events. They ask that you order cakes at least a week in advanced. The waiter is very kind and welcomes all visitors. A great place to check out and eat. Make sure to take a peek at the store downstairs. They sell everything from belts to an assortment of groceries and wares.

Autentic mexican food

So out of 10 reviews so far one person rates it a 1 star because of poor service. Mind you NOT the food but just the service which is his right BUT it drops the overall rating down to a 4.0Point being is that, individual rating aside, this is bar none the best Mexican food in the area. I spend half the month in El Paso TX and half the month in Columbia and this would do business in El Paso where 85 percent of the populace is Hispanic. I also travel alot into los Angeles and again if I had an LA transplant/visitor this is where I would take them.The Mole is excellent. I have yet to taste an authentic style mole anywhere else in Columbia or St Louis. Perfect blend of sweetness and spices. Every other Mole tastes like the sauce came straight outta the glass jar. Also Carne Asada and Barbacoa tacos/burritos are great. Chips and Salsa are top notch especially the Salsa.Nothing wrong with the Jimadors and Las Margaritas of Columbia If ur of a certain persuasion that enjoys your Fajitas seasoned with Lawrys Seasoned Salt BUT if youre feeling like ur wanting a more traditional taste please make this place your go to and treat those other places like you would a Taco Bell (unless u really really really like Taco Bell which I do from time to time)

Great place, great prices!
