My wife and I went here once and it was great! The food was good, the cocktails were also good and different from other places. I would say that it's a good place to go on a date with someone. It's not a fancy place by any means, but for a young couple, it's a good place to eat and have a great time! Plus, it's not that expensive!

Under new ownership and a new name. El Mariachi is now Guacamole restaurant. Tex mex food in downtown Millburn. Festive themed restaurant with plenty of seating. Most tables comfortably fit 4. Food about $18-25 per plate (kids menu $11). Plenty of veg options. Some street parking, or a public lot a short walking distance away.

Daniel is an absolutely amazing waiter! He goes above and beyond to make sure every guest feels welcome and taken care of. His attention to detail, friendly personality, and genuine care make every dining experience special. Honestly, I only come to this restaurant because of him — they are truly lucky to have him on their team, and he definitely deserves a raise!
