   Not the 6-star service we’re used to at Diego’s. Not sure if it was the restaurant or Open Table, but we reserved patio seating but were not seated outside. The hostess told us all the tables outside were reserved. When I showed her that I had indeed reserved patio seating, she suggested I call the restaurant next time. We agreed to sit inside and watched as 4 tables sat empty on the patio during our meal. If this were my first time in Diego’s that experience would make me question whether or not to return. Food was amazing AS ALWAYS! Server was a little slower than usual but still ok. We’ll be back!

   So, so loud! We had only ever eaten outside in the past. Inside we could barely talk at our table for 4 because it is so incredibly noisy. Our waitress was very good except she misunderstood one persons order, so 3 of us got served, and by the time the correct order arrived for our friend, all three of us had finished. Very disappointing. Didn’t see his bill, but I don’t think she gave him a break of any kind considering we didn’t eat together.

   Diego's CantinaResponded on July 24, 2022Hi Anonymous. Yes, we are a very lively restaurant that caters to large parties that can also be very loud - everyone has a good time though! Sorry your server misunderstood the order and we will make sure that we go over repeating orders in our pre-shift meetings next week so these issues don't arise. Hope you visit us again, maybe on a slower time or on the patio. Cheers!

   Pros: Loved the ambiance, drinks & appetizer. Cons: Unfortunately the main course was pretty bland, lacking flavor.

   Diego's CantinaResponded on July 24, 2022Hey Stlfoodie. Glad you liked some of the things about your experience. Not sure what "bland" item you had for your entree, but maybe there's something else on the menu that will wow you next time if you plan on visiting. Have a great rest of your summer!

   We live close, but it was our first time trying this restaurant. Loved it from start to finish. Best margarita we’d ever had. The flaming cheese was terrific, as were our quesadillas . We could have shared one, as they are so filling. Will definitely return!

   Michal was a very attentive and friendly waiter. We enjoyed his input and made the night memorable. The food was delicious. A little bit too loud for the older people in our group but still very enjoyable.

   Diego's CantinaResponded on July 24, 2022Thank you, Anonymous. Yes, we do not hide the fact that our restaurant can be very loud and lively, especially with the large parties we cater too. We're glad that your experience was pleasant and if the noise is an issue, the patio can be quieter as well as off-peak times. Hope you see you again soon!

    WELL, MY ENCHILADAS WERE REALLY GOOD, BUT HER SALMON WAS HORRIBLE. NOT SURE IT WAS SPOILED, JUST TASTED REALLY BAD. ALSO, SERVICE WAS TERRIBLE. ALMOST AN HOUR TO GET OUR FOOD.

    Diego's CantinaResponded on June 30, 2022We are really surprised by your review. When asked if your wife was satisfied with her salad, she started to say something & then said everything was ok, but the salad was taken off of your bill with no request to do so. Our data indicates that your drink orders were placed at 7:31 and your ticket was closed at 8:18pm so your food did not take one hour. We also accommodated you to another area of the restaurant so you weren't in the sun; sorry that you perceive that as horrible service.

    This is gourmet Tex-Mex. There are a lot of old standbys here, but they just do it better than anyone else. The noise level was a bit high, despite opning the the wall windows to the outside, so it would be best to sit outside, weather permitting. the night we were there, they were also a bit understaffed (Tuesday evening). Still, the food was great, and we will be back.

    The food was OK. Tacos were small and did not include a lot of ingredients. Beans and rice were not flavorful. My biggest complaint was the noise level. Unfortunately, we were next to a large group that was very loud. We could barely hear each other talk. Server was great.

    Diego's CantinaResponded on June 25, 2022Hi Carolyn. Our place is very lively, especially with larger parties that we have almost every night. Sorry you feel our tacos are small, but they are 6" and many contain 1/4lb of meat in them, depending on the taco you order. Our patio, lunches and early evenings can be a bit quieter. Have a great summer!

    The evening was wonderful until our waiter got VERY snippy at the end when trying to split the bill. He was throwing receipts at us, as if we were the ones that had rang out tickets incorrectly . He was quite rude, short with customers, and made everyone at the table feel awkward. She also had a bad attitude when questioned about ringing items up wrong.

    Soft drink served in a can, no free refills, $3.50 each over priced Guacamole-good Salsa tasks like marinara sauce Veggies in shrimp quesadilla were raw, uncooked Salmon on Caesar salad was the worst part, overcooked, flavorless if not poor taste had to remove

    Diego's CantinaResponded on June 10, 2022Hi Amanda. We are concerned that we are just learning of your experience. Your server indicated that no one at your table mentioned anything was unsatisfactory. Next time, regardless the restaurant, please let your server know something isn't the quality you expect. We can't fix what we don't know. As for the Diet Cokes you ordered, we choose to serve cans & bottles to maintain the integrity of the drink, opposed to using soda lines. With that said, free refills would not be an option.

    Made an early reservation. Host put us at a table next to a folding window in an aisle. When we ask to sit at a 2 person table on the rail she said no you sit here. There were numerous other empty tables even as we left. Food was ok drinks were good. But after the hostess treatment not going back. Soured the whole experience.

    Diego's CantinaResponded on June 4, 2022Hi Marty, We are sorry that this was your experience. We have a lot of new employees, many are working their very first job, as in this case. While we, too, can become impatient with others, I only hope you realize that 1. We do not train our employees to be rude and 2. She is a teenager & needs more training / experience in her role. It's unfortunate that this soured your entire experience, but we are always happy to employ younger people to learn life skills, like working with the public.

    Open air dining area had a great feel. Felt more like California than St. Louis. Service was okay nothing to get excited about. Food seemed fresh but pretty bland. I got some flavor out of the radishes and pickled onions in the two items I tried but overall was just looking for something more flavorful.

    We had a great server and the food was excellent. But the noise level was a HUGE hindrance to our experience. I may try it again--maybe for lunch. But no more dinners unless they do something about the noise level.
