Very Busy Friday. Still didn't have to wait too long. Fantastic service and Great food!
We've been coming here for years, and it’s hands down the best Mexican restaurant around! The food is always fresh and packed with flavor, the service is top-notch, and the atmosphere is always welcoming. Highly recommend!
I absolutely love this place! The food is incredible and the staff is on point and friendly! I highly recommend this place!
The food portions were very nice. The margaritas in the half pitcher were perfect. The flavor of the fajitas was amazing. Extremely friendly staff and good music playing. We highly recommend you come visit our newest friends at El Mariachi!!!
Our first time here, but we will DEFINITELY be back. It’s the best Mexican restaurant I’ve eaten at I think. And I usually don’t really care for Mexican food. So that says something. Try it. You won’t regret it. It might be a bit busy but it’s so worth it !
I have been to this place so many times through the years, ever since they opened! Their food is always consistent, delicious! Everyone we take there, they love it too! The peach margaritas are soo good!! On the patio on Saturdays, and maybe on Fridays they have live music while you sip on their tasty drinks and enjoy the night sky.
We recently celebrated a birthday at El Mariachi and I am beyond impressed with the remarkable experience we had. Despite not having a reservation, the staff went above and beyond to accommodate our large party with a spacious table. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly and seated promptly. The attentiveness and friendliness of the staff truly stood out. They were efficient, ensuring that our orders were taken promptly and answering any questions we had about the menu. level of service we received made us feel like valued guests throughout the entire evening. Now, let's talk about the food! It was nothing short of amazing. The diverse range of options on the menu catered to everyone's taste preferences, and the quality of each dish was exceptional. From appetizers to main courses, every bite was bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. The presentation of the dishes was also impressive, adding to the overall dining experience. What truly made this birthday celebration special was the combination of excellent service, a welcoming atmosphere, and mouthwatering food. I cannot recommend El Mariachi highly enough. Whether it's a small gathering or a large party like ours, you can be confident that you'll be treated like royalty and enjoy a culinary experience that will leave you craving more.
Very American Mexican restaurant. Good food nice salsa decent rice good beans. Definitely worth a try you probably won’t be disappointed, although it may not be exactly to your taste. The chicken dish I had came with cheese sauce on the top, but I got it on the side and that was a great idea . The cheese sauce is pretty nice to dip chip in, but I wouldn’t put it on top of an entree. August 2024: came back and had their fajitas with chicken, beef and shrimp, was really good.
