"¡Ay Mí Dios! This place is definitely a hidden gem of Cottleville. If you are looking for authentic Mexican food away from the mainstream chains, this is the place. Each order is made when you order but that doesn’t seem to extend the wait time. They have empanadas (which I have not been able to find anywhere) and their tamals are amazing! And yes it is tamals. Their chips come with multiple salsas and even ask for their homemade hot sauces. I’ve had the chile Relleno two times now and each time it was incredible. Most restaurants make the egg on the outside soggy and the cheese is overpowering. With La Chata’s, the egg is the perfect consistency and the cheese is perfectly proportionate to the chile. In terms of dessert, I highly recommend the flan. I will never eat another flan after this one! The atmosphere is vibrant and the decorations add to the charm of the dining area. The owner has come out and talked with us along with his wife many times about the food and their story. To sum it all up, this is the place to get quality Mexican food and not that **** Taco Bell imitation Mexican food. ¡Es muy muy muy muy delicioso!"
