Mariachi's Mexican Cuisine

Great food with a wide variety to choose from. The wait staff was awesome. Open air indoor seating. Atmosphere was very pleasant and relaxing.

Excellent good and authentic. We went there a few times in our trip. We had the asada fries, ceviche, molcajete and tried all the desserts.

We went to Mariachis in lihue and Margarito was excellent!! Great food and customer service! Would highly recommend mariachi’s AND Margarito!! Great personality and very attentive

Unfortunately this restaurant suffers from the maladie that affects many restaurants in and around resorts: poor quality, high prices. They know they have a captive audience so they don't have to try.

I ordered carne asada..the plate came with a cheese enchilada which was delicious. But the star of the dish, the meat, was god-aweful! I took maybe 3-4 bites. They thought I wanted to take the leftover meat home and I would have if I had a dog 🐕.

Imagine, if you will, a COLD chewy tasteless slice of meat with fake grill marks and you have Mariachi's carne asada.

The waiter was nowhere to be seen. He took my order and later my credit card. He never came to ask about the meal or if there was a problem. 👎 On the bright side the person who brought water, chips, and served the actual plate and took the plates was super nice and attentive.👍👏 He seemed genuinely interested that I enjoy my meal and even said he was sorry I didn't like the meat. The waiter is lucky I didn't stiff him. I was waiter in college and I have a soft spot for them. A note to the waiter: I don't tip based on the food because it's not your fault. I tip for your performance which was terrible..
BTW: what's with the loud music?

This place was the perfect spot for a relaxing beverage after a busy day. The bartender, Alvaro, was such a hoot! He was funny and attentive and kept the atmosphere light and enjoyable. There was a great variety of local beers on tap, and the happy hour was on point. Highly recommend! Mahalo!

We had a table of eight at Mariachi’s in Lihue, and everything about our experience was fantastic! The staff was incredibly friendly and efficient — our food came out quickly, even with a large group. The steak fajitas and chimichangas were absolute must-tries — packed with flavor and perfectly cooked. Everyone at the table loved their meals.
The atmosphere was warm and lively, making it a great spot for both families and friends to enjoy lunch. Overall, Mariachi’s is an amazing restaurant with delicious food, excellent service, and a great environment. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in Lihue

Pretty typical American Mexican restaurant. Food was good and served fast. The chips were thicker than I am accustomed to but we're tasty. I am sure there are better food options on Kauai but if you have a hankering for American Mexican with a good atmosphere, Mariachi's is the place to go.

Our second visit in our many trips visiting the island. Walkable from Royal Sonesta is convenient. Our meal was delicious, big strong mags didn’t disappoint. We ate hoping to make it back before we leave. The fried ice cream was a nice treat too.

I was not expecting the food, service or experience to be as great as it was! Some of these reviews must be old because we absolutely loved our food, drinks, the atmosphere and the service was amazing! We will go back again before we leave. The Fajitas were some of the best we have ever had, the mole was incredible and the mint mojito was one of the best I’ve ever had! We cannot wait to go back. By far the best food we have had on our trip!

We went to eat at this place with not very high expectations but were pleasantly impressed and surprised with the ambience and atmosphere there. The food was so good and flavourful that we didn’t want to talk much while eating. The server was extra careful about my vegetarian partner’s food choice and pointed out things. Highly recommend this place. The drinks were amazing too!!
