“It has been a few years since I've been to El Mariachi. Myself, and my grandparents used to come here often, but had since started to going to El Monte because it is closer to my grandmother. We decided to give El Mariachi some love today since had not been in so long. Right away, the biggest change that caught my eye was the decor, they have gone with a more western style theme and have done away with the paintings that I remember... but I digress, we're here to talk about the food.First, the salsa. The first thing that caught my attention was they use fresh cilantro which gave a nice kick when you take that first bite, followed by the other spicy nuances that you want in any salsa. For my entree, I had the chicken fajitas. They came out promptly and were still sizzling. I also had the salad with refried beans, fresh guacamole, and rice. The fajitas themselves were great without any additional toppings, but blended with the guacamole, sour cream, and salsa, makes for a delectable little bite.All in all, it was a good experience. Service was prompt and attentative, and the food was good and fresh. While it may not exactly be like a fine wine in that it gets better with age, it certainly has not lost it's touch. Will definitely be coming back!“

“UPDATE 2/7/2024: We've eaten here several times over the past year and have been very pleased. Chips/queso are excellent. Meals always come out quickly and CORRECT. Bathrooms are clean. The food is on point. We look forward to our next visit!--------------------------------ORIGINAL 5yrs ago:Decent but not my favorite. Go to Phil Sandoval's out on University Drive! You won't regret it.“
