Ordered a “taco bar” for 35 people for a birthday party, and it didn’t disappoint! Chicken was definitely the favourite and the salsa was a huge hit!

Food was okay but they need to add sauces or fresh salsas. For a $20.00 burrito I'd expect at least a side of sour cream and a side dish.
$3.50 for sour cream is a little crazy. It was less than 1 tbsp of sour cream.
$100 dollars for two people without drinks.

Literally just left El Mariachi Mexican Restaurant and wow, what a letdown. Paid $95 for dry, tasteless chicken flautas, bland brisket tacos, and “cocktails” that tasted like someone waved tequila over a glass of ice. Portions were so small we left hungrier than when we walked in. Service was fine, but you can’t season disappointment.
Paid $95 for dinner… and still had to buy a second dinner.
Overpriced, underwhelming, and absolutely not worth it. Don’t recommend!

I'm white and this place doesn't have any spice! If you want authentic Mexican make el El Paso at home. Like most reviews, tiny tiny tacos, tiny tiny meat, more onions than meat, the hot sauce is provided tastes like pepper, if maybe a little too peppery.

We've been here once a few years ago, and returned today on September 9, 2025 and the food was excellent!

Visited recently with a group of friends for a birthday dinner. While the food was excellent, the service was quite slow. One of the friends attempted to book a reservation a few days before, but no one answered her phone calls or the website reservation request. We were told the online reservation on the website doesn't work. We waited about 30 mins before we were seated at a group table, which was fine as the restaurant was full at the time of our arrival (330pm on a Sunday). It took a while for our food and drinks to arrive after ordering, but all the food came out correct, which was impressive since a few of us ordered the mix & match tacos. It took time for our server to clear our empty plates, bring water, and bring our bills, but overall, the food was awesome! Highly recommend for the food but the customer service needs some work.

I ordered a Cochinita torta and i can’t lie it is up there with my moms cochinita, but the price… wow. It should be like $9-11 at least. $13.99 and $2.50 for extra cheese? Come on guys. It was such a tiny torta.
💯 Mariachi is recommended. It is Mexican food for Mexicans and Canadians, not like other places that only offer the presentation.
Plus the prices are quite reasonable.
The staff was very attentive, there is nothing to say.
For 4 people it was only $82. On average you spend $20 to $30.
There are few or almost no places that offer food with this quality, I hope they don't lower their evaluation in those 5 areas. I have been a customer for 2 years and it is still the same as 2 years ago.

Excellent tacos, though the staff is often a bit overwhelmed on their popular Taco Tuesdays.
