“The food was very good, the only thing I didn't like was that the tip was charged without explanation.
Plate $16
Drink $3
A total of $19 plus taxes would be $21 and they charged me $27. I asked why and they told me taxes... the same thing happened to three other people at that time and the answer was the same. Once again the food was very tasty but tipping would have to be an option and believe me I always leave a good tip.“

Prices on point too, you might can find coupons in the mailers or papers that still circulate but I used to see them in the Value Saver that comes in the mail or the Penny Saver but that's been a while but really not checking for them either lol

Parking: Depends on location have been to almost all but definitely parking for at least 20 or more spacesmaybr.“

“Go to fhis El Mariachi ll not the one by 151st and Torrence. These Nachos are to kill for ?????. They season their beef. Its oretty darn good compared to 7 Mexican restauant s around there. Their green enchiladas is tasty ???. Their Margaritas mmm $5 a glass worth it ?? the place is cute and small, but worth it ??

Parking: Theres enuff spots to park. And its got gambling slots there.

Kid-friendliness: Yep bring the kids their are 2 big tv in there ??“

“Great service and very tasty food Hardly recommend“

“Food was good, server was attentive, but nickle and diming people for extra chips and salsa and stuff like that is why the restaurant is empty on a Sunday afternoon. People don’t come back if they don’t think it’s a deal. It puts a bad taste in people’s mouth regardless of how good the food is. I’m not going back because I felt like they were trying to swindle me. I’m not saying, I’m just saying.“

“I usually give them a five on everything. But unfortunately the meat was very fatty. My shells was not fully cooked. Meat wasn’t cooked well. This was my first bad experience with them. They were closing and gave me half of a taco. Please do better with the meat portion. I spent my last few dollars because I’m pregnant and was craving for these tacos and the sauce. I was crying because I’m emotional because of my baby and I wanted to taste of these tacos. ?. I’m still gon come back. But if they taste the same again I won’t never return.“

“Great food, very clean and nice and quiet. Service was great, they were always there to help or if I had questions which is great. Nothing wrong with my food not overcooked or undercooked just right, the quesadillas were exactly how I asked and as said again they were always there to help. I also ordered the cantina chicken bowl and the chicken was good. Overall, great food, nice, clean, and quiet, and lastly service was awesome. I will come again because of the quality of the location.“

“First timer! Service time was crazy fast! lunch was deliciously tasty, I ordered a steak burrito for the taken! . Steak tasted like it came right offf the grill! The Ingredients were so crisp and fresh. The establishment was very clean well kept. The space isn’t so big but good for a small intimate or just for you to enjoy. Check em out!“

“The food is good.Rated them 2 stars for changing their start time to 10:30.Lol they sure did change the start time back shortly after I posted that. So let me gone ahead and change that rating. I do need them to do better at comprehending the special requests given when ordering. Lol they always mess it up! Repeat back the correct thing but still mess it up ..“
