El Mariachi Loco Cantina

Now I understand why the parking lot is always empty …. The food has no love in it. The salsa taste like spaghetti sauce … the rice was HARD and just weird … I’m not sure how you don’t know how to make RICE . … enchiladas verdes was DRY and had no flavor , beans were ok (lacked flavor) . So disappointing for our first time here . The margaritas were very sour , deff pre mixed.
Least authentic Mexican food I’ve had in awhile .
I will say the consommé and salsa verde was delicious and full of flavor . I’d deff say the cook has lost their passion or just doesn’t know the essentials .

Really was disappointed after reading the reviews. Food was bland. Unseasoned.

Worst fajitas I’ve ever had. Salsa tastes like oregano? I think this is more of a bar that just happens to also sell food and I was looking for a nice authentic Mexican meal. The dive bar bathroom shoulda been a clue. Right at $30 for fajitas and a drink plus tip. Staff/service was great.

Server was good. But it was cold. Four top table and all our food was cold. And was mediocre at best. I told my friends Chava’s in Edwardsville, but noooo they had to try this place 🤢

WOW.... What a fantastic place! The food is all "home cooked" and delicious! Momma is in the back and puts everything together with love! If you make it there - go for the house specialty Birria street tacos.... Wow!

Maria C was a great server. So patient and friendly. Food was received quickly and piping hot. Great quesadillas with flavorful chicken. The pork chimichanga was full of tender meat. Will definitely go back.

Best kept secret on Natural Bridge Rd near Highway 270. Much, much better than its competitor; Chimi’s. This place has FLAVOR!! They serve fresh food. Server was excellent. Food and Margarita was excellent. Ambiance was excellent. Makes me wonder why that other place is so crowded and this place is not. On a scale of 1-10; that other place is a negative 1 compared to this place which is 10 plus!! Highly recommend.

First time. Excellent steak chimichanga.

I had to wait 40 minutes for a lemonade.
