Best Mexican food I’ve had since moving away from Texas. There were real tears in my eyes when my entree came out. Absolutely delicious!! The sangria was amazing, you could tell there was real alcohol in it, but not too strong. Tasted amazing all around. Had to tell all my friends. I WILL be back. Customer service was perfect as well: not too little, not too much!

The service and atmosphere here is great. We always enjoy ourselves. The food was excellent even though options for vegans are sparse. (Hold the sour cream and cheese, please) I had the veggie fajita and loved it. Their margaritas and mojitos are great. Definitely eat and drink here whenever you have the chance!

In town for a concert, and craving Mexican food. My dining companion and I found El Mariachi, and their menu had just what we were craving. Walking into the restaurant we noticed how clean and lovely it is – Beautifully decorated for Christmas as well.

Staff was very nice, guacamole was very good, they didn’t have horchata, jugo de Jamaica, the beans didn’t have flavor(salt), my chorizo tostadas were good, the paella was was good. The guac was $13.

Service and food was great. The chicken chalupas were so good. The burrito was massive, I almost wasn’t able to finish it. You definitely your money’s worth. The waitress was super brand polite, A+++ service.

Veryyyy pretty restaurant !! There is both indoor and outdoor seating, and the waiters were very nice. They forgot our utensils at first but it was busy so not a big deal. Food was pretty good and they gave us extra chips for no charge 🙂 price is decent as well. I would say though that the accessibility isn’t great, you have to go all the way up stairs for the bathroom which could be a challenge if you are elderly or disabled , unless there was an elevator I didn’t see

My boyfriend and I ordered through DoorDash (12/30/2022) . I would just like to clarify that when we got our order from the DoorDash driver, the order/bag was secured and unopened. We ordered an order of tamales, an order of menudo, three asada tacos and three lengua tacos. Upon eating the tacos, we found hair so I called the restaurant as well as DoorDash. DoorDash told me to contact the restaurant. So when I contacted the restaurant, a polite woman answered the phone, heard my concern and then transferred me to the manager. From being on hold to the manager answering the phone took around five minutes. I explained my concerns to the manager and she told me that it was DoorDash problems. I once more reiterated the issue and she told me that DoorDash was the one to deal with. This was our very first time dealing with this restaurant (and most definitely last time dealing with them), and we weren’t even really looking for any compensation but some responsibility instead, which we got neither. Providing the pictures of hair in our food. Please be careful because the woman I spoke to said she was the “owner” but I highly doubt that. The owner of a restaurant they were proud of would have offered something in return after I was so polite and patient. Pictures provided below. Also, the DoorDash website (provided by their restaurant) has their tamales topped with salsa and cotija cheese but in person the tamales are topped with (unexpected) mole. Save your tastebuds and money and make at home! (Pictures provided below!!!!!). We are mostly upset because there was hair in our food and we could not eat what we ordered. There was no sympathy from the “owner” from hair being in our food.
