Taqueria Hectorito

Stopped here for a late lunch with the family. Amazing tacos, great selection of juaritos sodas. We sat at a street side table. It is everything I have come to expect from a good taco stand and the neighborhood is great. We could have spent the afternoon there.

$6 for 2 amazing fresh tacos!! Good music, sitting outside. Simple, basic, counter service FOOD. Small patio, used up furniture giving local flavor!

Insanely delicious and affordable tacos. Best authentic street tacos I’ve had in STL.
It’s definitely a hole in the wall so don’t expect a glamorous dining experience-usually those are the best places though!

If you’re looking for Mexican food in St Louis you always start at Cherokee St. Located in the heart is Taqueria Hectorito, my personal favorite taco stop with an array of mouth watering options! Some go-tos would be the barbacoa, campechanos, or carnitas. They do have burritos and other items as well, I’ve just always gone with the tacos because of how good they truly are. Trust.

My life has not known peace since discovering this taqueria. I find myself thinking about a box of Al pastor and chorizo tacos almost daily now. The service is great and always friendly, and prices are more than fair. As someone who travels a lot, it drives me crazy that this unassuming corner stand is better than anything I’ve had in Mexico.
Love yourself and support this great local business.
