I had the best time with my girlfriends at El Mariachi! Our server Aurora was so kind and friendly. We were celebrating my birthday, and Aurora went out of her way to make the celebration special. Her smiling face and kind personality went a long way. She made the day special with excellent recommendations, prompt and friendly service with refills for our bottomless margaritas, and a bright personality that made the day so special. I had so much fun! The host, Lupe, was also so friendly. He gave great recommendations on house specials and was funny and kind. We had a blast! I cannot stop smiling! Thank you you for such a fun girly brunch day! Will come here again!

“Loved our time here.”

Loved our time here! The drinks and food were delicious. Definitely enjoy the patio if you can! My taco salad was full of the flavors I love. Husband’s shrimp and pollo was his favorite dish. Daughter’s vegetarian poblano burrito was all she’d hoped for and gave her lunch for the next day. My blackberry margarita was amaaazing, husband’s avacado mango margarita was out of this world. Then we had a happy hour sangria that was made from scratch - not too sweet and balanced with spices that made it perfect.

“Great food, friendly service, and awesome margs.”

Great food, friendly service, and awesome margs. I had a great dinner at El Mariachi last weekend. I ordered the cheese enchiladas with elote and black beans. They had great flavor! The classic margarita is the perfect combination of sweet and tart at a great price. It was raining, but next time I’ll be sure to check out their massive patio in the back.

“Stop by to grab a drink here.”

Stop by to grab a drink here. Great atmosphere, great menu even though I didn’t order a drink. I got a strawberry margarita, and while it want the best one I’ve had, it was a decent drink. Free chips and salsa which is always a plus in my book.

A relative recommended this place to us, it was worth trying out. Food was delicious, service was great, the outside patio is super romantic at night with the lights and music. We both had the Pollo En Salsa with Suiza. Come try it out for yourself!

“Came for restaurant week and received the bottomless mimosas.”

Came for restaurant week and received the bottomless mimosas! The atmosphere was great! As soon as your mimosa was low they immediately come refill your glass! I will definitely be back!

My 1st time patronizing this establishment was in April of this year for a spontaneous brunch and I’ve been a loyal repeat customer EVER SINCE! First off I’ve never felt more welcomed at any other establishment I’ve been to. My experiences here have never been anything SHORT of amazing from beginning to end from the service down to the food, drinks & dessert. Big shout out to Roberto the General Manager & Aurora from the wait staff who are amazing at what they do. We had so many laughs last night. It was a night to remember. If you both see this We love you 🫶🏽 Yesterday we indulged in Chips & Salsa, A 3 Margarita Flight (Paloma, Catrina & Paloma Blanca) 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Shrimp enchilada dinner (not pictured) Carne a la tampiqueña dinner 😋 Tequila shot flight 🤌🏽 & a Pumpkin Bread / Flan dessert (don’t remember the actual name) but OMG amazing 🤤 Ohhhh & let’s not forget the Tequila dinners they have every few months that offer a 3 course meal that’s pairs with a signature margarita for each course, followed by a tequila flight and a presentation by Tequila reps and usually accompanied by gifts or trinkets by said company for all guests in attendance. You must prepay a flat rate which includes taxes & tip usually around $80 and it’s so worth it. I’m a west side resident and I go out of my way to make the trip here because this place is a whole vibe 😌 This place is a 10/10 for me & my cousin!!!!

Food was yummy! Service took a bit at first but then we got checked on regularly & they were rly good about filling up our waters too. I got the Zapata Skillet & my friend got the Plaintain French Toast. I rly liked my meal! I don’t live around here so I’ll prbly never go back unless I’m in the area. We had some Jell-O shots in honor of Hispanic Heritage Month starting today!

“Everything was superb as always.”

Everything was superb as always. Everyone in our group of four raved about their meals. Drinks, apps, entrees, service, all top-notch. Love this place as do our friends from Canada. They never miss a trip to El Mariachi when they are in town.

The experience at Mariachi’s was great! It was a lively crowd of guests and the service was great. A special shout out to Roberto, the GM, who checked on us from start to finish. He was incredibly pleasant and ensured we had a great experience. 10/10 would recommend :)
