Pueblo Solis was vote #1 for the Best Margarita and #2 for the Best Mexican Food in St. Louis for 2006. I also read other reviews that complained about the wait time and crowded inside tables. I decided to go on a Monday; called to see how busy they were and planned on sitting outside. We were seated immediately and ordered a Margarita; very little liquor and if not for the squeeze of lime, very little taste. The food was below par and a bit pricey for Mexican. I cannot understand how this restaurant would be considered for the top ten in area for St. Louis, much less rank 1st and 2nd.

We drove for 40 minutes to get to this restaurant, because they were rated highly in the River Front Times. Once we were seated, we were given some so-so chips (no body) and some average salsa (no bite). We each ordered, and commenced to wait. Among other things, we ordered guacamole. We were served the guacamole, and we waited some more. Four other tables were seated and served their dinners before our server finally came back to our table to ask us to remind him what we had ordered. This occurred more than one and a half hours after we had initially been seated. He made no apologies, and gave us a lame excuse. By then, we had decided to leave. I guess we were lucky, because we only had to pay $48.00 for a couple of drinks, chips/salsa, and some rather bland guacamole. I left him a $10 dollar tip. He's gonna need it.
