Going out for a meal, especially when we've got little ones, can prove quite harrowing sometimes. Even the most well-behaved kids can have their moments because, well, they're kids. We've all dealt with those embarrassing episodes, at least once, if we're parents. That means always being on the lookout for kid-friendly restaurants where we can enjoy a delicious meal while there might be something for the kids to do, too. This family-friendly restaurant in St. Louis, Missouri might become your go-to dining destination for its authentic Mexican food and private playground.

Dining at Hacienda St. Louis is about so much more than digging into an authentic Mexican meal; it's about creating an experience - and everyday memories - for even the littlest of guests.

A local favorite since 1968, this vibrant Mexican restaurant scores rave reviews for its chill vibe. While the indoor dining area exudes charm, there's just something oh-so-magical about...

Eating on the patio, where you can soak up the sunshine or enjoy the cool evening breeze. Some have even called the patio one of the best in the St. Louis area.

As of May 2024, the restaurant will also have something special for the kiddos, a playground where they can run, climb, and have fun while mom and dad can relax.

Additional features for kids and adults, which have not been revealed to the public, will also be unveiled throughout the year.

All that play is sure to have the kids work up a hearty appetite, and you're certainly in the right place for a delicious meal, each of which is made with the freshest ingredients available.

Why not start with a tasty appetizer? Order for yourself or the table from such favorites as the restaurant's signature nachos, chili con queso, or queso blanco.

The difficult part comes when choosing an entree. Quesadillas, chimichangas, and chile relleno are all scrumptious choices.

If you're really hungry, you can't go wrong with one of the platters. Each comes with two or three main items, rice, and beans. Main items include tacos, burritos, tamales, tostadas, and enchiladas.

Kiddos have their own menu with such kid-approved options as chicken tenders, nachos, and quesadillas.
