Taqueria Lili — Restaurant in Brookside

Parking was easy, in a strip mall. Parked right up front.

This place is a bakery/restaurant.I came i n right before normal folk eat dinner. It wasn't busy, just one other customer at the time, and one came in before I left. The place itself is no frills, order at the counter, and grab yourself a drink from the cooler. I wasn't talked to when i came in so I just sat down. When they looked at me I went to the counter and got a menu to look over. When i was ready, I grabbed a can of modelo from the cooler, and placed my order. They weren't strong on English, but understood me just fine, when they were paying attention. The service was ok, such an awkward experience for me. They offer a variety of baked goods, which was in a display case beside the counter.

They don't have a bar here. I got a Modelo from the cooler, it was cold and delicious.

I ordered Flautas: 4 chicken, with rice, and refried beans. Flautas were ok, not the worst ever, but far from the best. The chicken inside was dry-n-chewy tough, and no amount of salsa was bringing these puppies back from the desert. The refried beans were creamy and delicious. Probably the highlight of the whole trip. The rice was fluffy, but on the dry side of town. I was brought out two types of salsa, which looked like it may be reused. I really don't know for sure. The dark salsa was a chipotle style, hot, but chipotle is nasty. The orange/yellowish citrusy flavored one had a nice kick and was really good. Another highlight of the trip.

I ordered two tacos to try them as well. A chorizo and an al pastor. Chorizo was serviceable, nothing special here, and was on the dry side again. The al pastor was ok, again, dry, jeeze!!! The best thing to do is load up on the salsa and give them time to rehydrate. I suspect I wasn't given the freshest of meats.

I suggest you order a pound of a meat, salsa it up, mix in beans, mix in rice, and just make it a slop tray. I'm pretty sure it will...

If you not Mexican don't go they will be unfairly rude and give you poor service. My wife and i went one day I'm black she is Mexican we walk in instead of getting a greeting we got stares and evil looks had to grab our menus to order and then had to go up to the counter to put our order in when asked about drinks my wife ordered the horchata and i ordered the mango the make my wifes drink and completely ignore me I'm last to get my food which ok that's cool but I've been sitting here for a 30 minutes already and no drink my wife had hers in 5 minutes. We getting close to finishing a latin family walks and they are greeted bought menus completely ignore my family and I worse service ever if i could give no...

Nice little taco spot in Stanton. They have a decent sized menu with many options. I ordered chicken tacos and marinated pork tacos. Both came with the classic onion and cilantro. In the bag they also provided two hot sauces, lime wedges and radish slices.

The pork taco was very flavorful and the red sauce went perfect with it. The chicken tacos were a little dry (hence the 4/5 stars) but with a bunch of the green hot sauce, they were edible.

Friendly service and my food came up in 10 minutes. If you want a quick stop on Kirkwood highway I...
