What People Are Saying About El Mariachi Restaurant

The Scene – Although it's literally located in a hole in the wall (in a strip mall parking lot), inside it's quite lively and comfortable, with shiny oak tables and sunny gold walls. Latin pop music plays when a mariachi band isn't entertaining the guests. Service is excellent. – – The Food – Hyped-up Americanized Mexican it's not. The menu offers dishes that are authentic, often simple and usually full of flavor. Quesadillas, as a starter or entree, are delightfully light, packed with cilantro and zingy with lime.

True Mexican in a hole in the wall off Nicolette Avenue--Eat Street.
by BobbyHendy
Just down Nicollette Avenue prior to running into the back of the K-Mart on Lake Street, this Restaurant lies hidden behind a Mexican Supermarket and Bakery. It really looks like a hole in the wall but upon entering it really feels like you have left the US and have ended up in Mexico.
The food is authentic(I have eaten a lot of Americanized Mexican food). I visit Mexico every year with my wife(Neovo Progresso) and the food at this resturant rivals any we have eaten there. The service for the most part has been good and the food as spicy hot as we want it to be.
Share a plate with a friend and get a good sampling of the dishes available. The appetizers are more than enough for a meal. They serve a mexican soup that I have seen eaten by locals but we have not sampled it.
Enjoy!

Ate here on 5/25/04 based on the "Top 10" recommendation on this site. Not only would I NEVER go back but I wanted to run as soon as I tasted the chips. Has anyone ever eaten at Little Tijuana -- this is THE BEST Mexican food probably in the 5-state area and am only sorry I strayed (forgive me) to try this recommendation. Not even the inclusion of alcohol makes this place worthwhile. I don't think I have ever eaten such bland, re-heated and impossibly tasteless food in my life -- but then I haven't been to London yet. Adios!
