Mariachis Mexican Restaurant and Cantina

Our first visit at Mariachis did not disappoint us at all, rather it exceeded our expectations. As soon as we entered we were greeted by friendly staff, and we were given a huge basket of fresh tortilla chips with two dishes of homemade salsa while we figured out our orders. We ordered a classic margarita and two tacos. The tacos had a lot of flavor and they were huge. The margarita tasted fresh, and was balanced perfectly. Plus Mariachis has a great atmosphere that every Mexican restaurant should model after. We will definitely come back, and recommend Mariachis to anyone looking for authentic Mexican cuisine in Turlock.

We came here late after a soccer tournament in Turlock. Not a lot of people there but we were greeted immediately and sat down. Ordered our food and some adult drinks. All the drinks were very good and authentic. Food came out hot and with large portions. I ordered the mixed molcajete which was very good. Everyone enjoyed their food. Being Mexican this is as authentic as you will get at a sit down restaurant. Would definitely come back if I’m in the area. Prices were very reasonable as well.

Loved this place. Great atmosphere, great service, and great food. Me and my family were welcomed as soon as we walked in the door. Got seated right away, it was not busy when we got there, so it was great for us. The food was delicious and our waiter, Luis, was very attentive. Clean place, will defenetly come here again.

Great service friendly staff would definitely go back

Mariachis has one of my favorite dishes - Arroz con Pollo, however, it appears that they may be under new ownership as the food came with bread instead of tortillas, and instead of a full basket of chips, it was half Mexican doraditas. The food was hot and tasted good, but I was disappointed that it lacked chicken and was mostly vegetables. The service was a little slow as I waited approximately 7 minutes to be seated. The server was friendly enough. Overall, I might come back again, but generally appreciate a more Mexican restaurant that provides tortillas with the meal. The tortillas are made fresh onsite, and they are willing to swap it out - you just have to ask. They will not offer it up front. I can’t remember if they said it was extra to do so.

The ambiance is presented first by the host/waitress with her mama feeling gratitude greeting towards customers. I felt like I was at home, at ease. Now the food came out piping hot inside and out with bounds of flavor and fresh garnishes(not the soggy or little brown veggies). The best was the chips that had the Mexican Doritos, that was an authentic ,but simple delight. Sorry I don't have pictures,but if you see their beans, you'll know the foot is good as their beans are not watered down and thinly speared like other places I've been to.Yummy, pieces of whole beans for good iron sold me. Don't shy away because the inside looks outdated,it is a clean and tidy restaurant.

Years ago this place was better. It now is not good. The shrimp was spoiled and left a horrible taste. Service lagged. Definitely will not return.

Food kinda taste like it from a can

My mother likes chilli rellenos, this is the place she picked for me to take her on her birthday. I, however, don't care so much for Mexican food. I shamelessly ordered a cheeseburger from the kids menu. It was a better burger than I generally get at a Mexican restaurant. I'd say it tasted more like a regular burger than a Mexican restaurant burger. I may get adventurous & try their tacos sometime. Aside from the food being good, service was...well, our party of 3 was all the customers while we were there. The waitress could've popped by for refills a bit more frequently, but she was doing great in every other respect. It may seem backwards, but I think we'd have had more attention if it was busier, just from the waitress passing by more often.

Anyway, I'm told it's good Mexican food. I have no complaints though I don't eat much authentic Mexican food. Service was pleasant though understandably somewhat infrequent with so few customers (late lunch/early dinner weekday). Good for casual dining. Would go again.

Food was great. Atmosphere was great. But the waitress never checked on us while eating. No refills on drinks. And we sat forgotten in the corner booth. Definitely had a better experience last time we were here. But would still recommend.
