we love this restaurant. the food has been consistently good over the nearly 30 years we've been dining here. the food is very good and the service is friendly.Carne Asada, Fajitas, pollo asado, pescado criollo and lengua al vino are some of our favorites.Best margaritas around.last but not least, the chips and salsa are thre best around. can't stop eating them.

Delicious food, great service!

This restaurant is one of my favorites. The food is consistently good...my favorite is seafood enchilada...and the staff is professional, accommodating and friendly. Five stars for food.However the decor is dated. If ownership wants to do a quick and inexpensive redo, the dingy ceiling tiles should be replaced with new ones with updated lighting!

Solid local spot with Mexican and Tex-Mex offerings and a polished dining experience.Their chips and salsa were both fresh, and the salsa itself was flavorful but not memorable. The chicken fajitas were grilled well per my request, but lacking robust flavor. The sour cream, guacamole, pico de gallo, and tortillas were all fresh and well presented. The rice was quite delicious.Service was friendly and attentive. Good local business to support, worth giving it a try.

Food was pretty good, and the price was acceptable. The waiter was a little hard to track down and spent most of her time hiding in back, which was annoying when trying to order, get refills, and get the bill, but she was professional and friendly when actually here. She also forget to bring back our credit card. At the end of the day, I'd go here again, hopefully with a more helpful waiter.

Food is always great but I just went in to pick up my order and they say they are out of one of the things I ordered . Should have gotten a phone call to let me know instead of going in then having to place another order and wait another 20 mins . And having my other order cold. Hope it doesn’t happen again.

I love El Mariachi!The food is outstanding. When your plate arrives you take in the wonderful scents before your first bite and then ? with every bite, the most flavorful, perfectly prepared and presented dish you could ask for.

Food was a little pricey, but very good. Only issue we had was we ordered food to go and hard shell tacos were placed on top of items with sauce. When we got home, half of the shell had disintegrated, so we didn’t get to eat tacos, just the chicken filling.

Was my grandma's favorite restaurant and I love it too. Food is great and staff has been good when I have gone.

The seafood had too much lime. The margaritas were OK. Food was heavy and more on the Tex side rather than Mex. The service was good.
