" El Mariachi easily blew my expectations out of the water! I am always on the lookout for authentic Mexican food, and I have struggled to find a place that serves it well until now. The fajitas were sizzling and packed with flavor, and they serve them up with the freshest tortillas. The atmosphere was lively, perfect for dining with friends or family. My only complaint would be that parking is a bit tight during busy times. Regardless, I'd visit again and again for that mouthwatering food! Highly recommended. " (*Curated Review*)

" My husband and I have tried El Mariachi several times, and it never disappoints! Everything from the chips and salsa to the entres is full of flavor. I've tried the beef fajitas and was impressed by the seasoning and portion sizes! The ambiance is lively, making it a fun place to eat out, but it can get a bit noisy during peak hours. All in all, if you're looking for authentic Mexican food, this is the place to be. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Mariachi is a delightful place with authentic Mexican flavors that transport you straight to Mexico! The menu is extensive, and I tried the enchilada combo platter. Each bite was fantastic! While the service could have been perked up a bit, the warm ambiance made it a lovely place for dinner with friends. I would recommend their margaritas—the flavors are vibrant! Overall, a great spot that everyone should visit at least once! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for El Mariachi based on the reviews, and I have to say, they met my expectations! The ambiance was vibrant, filled with cheerful decor and music that sets a warm mood. I ordered the combo platter, and it was huge! The food was fresh and delicious, particularly the carne asada. My friends enjoyed their tacos as well. Service, however, was a bit slow during our visit but not so much that it ruined our experience. I look forward to my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" I am a Texan and take my Mexican food seriously! I was visiting Lufkin and found El Mariachi. The staff was welcoming, and we were seated quickly. I ordered the enchiladas verdes, which were incredible - they had the right amount of spice and were covered in a tangy verde sauce that complemented them perfectly. The chips were fresh, and the salsa was just right! If you love authentic flavors, you must try them out. The only thing I would note is that you should avoid peak hours if possible because it can get quite busy. Still, the wait is worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" I always find myself returning to El Mariachi whenever I am in Lufkin. Their beef fajitas are some of the best I’ve ever tasted! Always cooked to perfection, and they come with all the classic accompaniments. The service is usually good, though I’ve had a couple of off days when the staff seemed a bit stretched. Regardless, the food quality makes up for it! I highly recommend giving them a visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Mariachi truly delivers on its promise of authentic Mexican cuisine! I had the pleasure of dining there last week, and every bite was delicious. I opted for the combination plate, which included tacos and enchiladas, and was very impressed with the flavors. The staff was friendly, though I did have to wait a while for the food to arrive. The vibe of the restaurant invites guests to enjoy their meals. I'll definitely be back again! " (*Curated Review*)
