When the search for authentic Mexican / Cuban food and drinks leaves you overwhelmed, trust the loud, lively spot: El Mariachi Mexican & Cuban Grill is the unequivocal “must-visit.” Having been here many, many times, this is a great place for family and friends to gather and unwind.
The atmosphere is one of vibrant, casual celebration. This restaurant has an awesome atmosphere with lively music and is usually very busy (get there early because they fill up fast). The setting is more for a social outing than a romantic evening, as it’s usually loud. Keep an eye out for the live entertainment!
The flavors are extraordinary. The food here is always on point—you literally can’t go wrong with any dish on the menu. My favorite dish is the Mexican Pizza Appetizer followed by the Fajita Explosion with Shrimp. For our recent visit, the Cochinitas (Tacos of Fried Pork Chunks) were very tasty, cooked perfectly and brought out quickly. The prices are very fair for the quality, quantity and taste of the food, with dinner running around $20pp.
El Mariachi offers dining experiences that few other local spots dare to attempt, specializing in flavorful, well-made cocktails and generous portions. The drinks are made really well and are absolutely delicious. The flavored Margaritas are a must! Doris had the Strawberry and instantly wished she had ordered the Mango!
The ultimate FOMO moment comes from missing the deals. The combination of great food and atmosphere guarantees a quick return. The Happy Hour is from open until 7 pm everyday of the week, and they feature great lunch specials starting at $7.95 Monday to Friday until 3 pm.
This restaurant’s high local demand means planning is essential. Fortunately, they have a large parking lot with plenty of parking for your convenience. I would definitely recommend and without a doubt be back again.
