Have to admit was less than impressed. The chips and salsa were good, husband said margarita was good. The grilled veggie plate was not the kinds of veg I was expecting and very bland, unfortunately. We should have known when we were the only ones there at around 6:30.

This place is an excellent choice to eat. Instantly prepared, fresh and thoughtful portions, plus excellent attention from its waiters and owners.

Dive-y little place on Lark, only open I believe certain days as staff rotate between here and their main location near the Plaza. Have whatEVER the longtime bartender gentleman recommends! Our first time here we walked in and we were the only ones there. It was actually during the St. Patrick’s Day parade. This spot was where we felt the most welcome! Upon arrival you could smell a spicy, garlicky goodness wafting from the kitchen. We received menus and when the bartender/server came to our table he said, “can I order something for you?” I said “absolutely! it smells wonderful, whatever’s is going on in the kitchen.” He brought a sizzling plate of shrimp in a garlic oil sauce with crusty bread to dip in it, and it was heavenly. I’ve never had a bad meal here or at the flagship restaurant El mariachi. Also— Drinks A+.
We just walked in from Lark St. deciding on where to eat. We were pleased with the cozy atmosphere and the warm welcome from the owner. I had the chile relleno carne and it was one of the best dishes I have ever had in my entire life., We are food and drink enthusiasts and have a lot of years behind us. The margarita was incredible and he knew exactly what I wanted. Absolute quality at this restaurant. We can not wait to revisit.

We enjoyed the food here. They gave you large portions and the service was good. The location is behind the big government buildings, so it makes for a nice walk back to your hotel. All of the food we had was delicious.

Huge portions justify the prices. I loved the steak chimichanga. Service was good. Got to sit out on back patio since the weather was nice.

This was a great place for a family dinner. We stopped here on an over-nighter on the 4th of July and had a great experience. With lots of places in town closed they were busy but we were seated quickly. There is a large menu and the food is authentically Mexican and prepared quickly. Lots of choice and very friendly staff. The portions were very generous. If you are trying to eat cheaper here order the individual tacos as they are a good size for the $$.

Stopped for a late lunch after visiting Capital and Corning building. Very friendly service and food was perfect. Outside seating available
My wife and I both had a delicious meal. The margaritas were fantastic and the staff very friendly. The food is very authentic; if you like Mexican food you must try El Mariachi.

We LOVED this place...and our server Arturo!! The White Sangria was the best we have ever had and the Guacamole and chicken enchiladas were fresh and flavorful! The decor is also really great.
