El Mayor — Restaurant in Mehlville

Hold onto your sombreros, because El Mayor off Telegraph Road deserves a standing ovation, or maybe a salsa dance, in my case!

Their spicy wings were like a hot dream for my taste buds – meaty and delicious! I could practically hear them singing "Ay caramba!" with each bite.

More of a taco sauce than a salsa. Had the arroz con pollo, the chicken is sliced thin so was overcooked, asked for the queso on the side and that was the flavor of white Velveeta. Guacamole was good, chunky with lime and onion flavors. Pitchers of margaritas are a good deal, we tried regular and...
