" El Mariachi was such a gem to find. The first bite of their Indian taco made me feel like I was transported back to my childhood! The flavors are authentic and real, like something my aunt used to make. The place is small, perfectly homey, and the owners treat you like family. The only downside was it was a bit crowded when I went, but that just meant everyone else felt the same way I did about their food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I found El Mariachi to be a hidden gem! The flavors in their dishes are hard to find elsewhere. I enjoyed the apuesta plate, and although it was good, the server seemed overwhelmed and forgetful. Still, the quality of the food made it a good choice. I’ll be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Mariachi has definitely carved a place in my heart! The Indian taco was incredible, layered with a perfect hint of spice, and the ambiance felt just right for an evening out. The lady taking our orders was sweet but seemed overwhelmed during peak hours. I'll be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Mariachi is a place that feels like family. Delicious New Mexican dishes with a personal touch. The beans were rich and homemade, and the service was friendly, albeit a bit distracted since they were packed. I would highly recommend for an authentic and intimate dining experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" I gave El Mariachi a shot based on the reviews, but I found it to be a mixed bag. While the sopaipillas were fantastic and reminded me of home, the service was slow and the ambiance felt crowded. Perhaps I just visited on a bad day, so I might give it another try in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" Such a quaint little spot! I enjoyed my time here, but the service felt a bit rushed. The food was decent, particularly the smothered burrito. Old school flavors made it worthwhile. A little more attentiveness from the staff would have elevated the experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" After many visits, I have to say El Mariachi never fails to impress! The prices are super reasonable for the portion sizes. You can taste the authenticity in every bite, and the friendly staff only adds to the charm. Highly recommend the stuffed burritos! " (*Curated Review*)
