Authentic Mexican Food, Wonderful Customer Service, Beautiful Restaurant. I went to El Mariachi for a friends birthday party about 5 years ago and now I am a regular customer and they know me by name. I just LOVE their food, but most of all I love their service. The employees, waitstaff and cooks are all so personable. Their margaritas are great!!!!!!!!!!!! They make them PERFECT everytime. What I love about this restaurant is it's authenticity and culture of Mexico. It is AUTHENTIC Mexican food made once I order it, its not prepared & sitting like other Mexican restaurants that I have been to. The carna asade dinner, chimichangas, tacos, tostadas, chips & salsa are WONDERFUL. The also have a wonderful Vegetarian Menu, which is extremely rare. My best friend is a vegetarian & I LOVE Mexican food & El Mariachi is perfect for both of us. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this restaurant & don't be fooled if you see people waiting for a table, the staff is great & there is room in the rear of the restaurant & perfect for couples. ENJOY…
Great Mexican Food and Margaritas!.
Quick service and great selection of margaritas. Had to flip a few coins to figure out which one I wanted... and boy was I not disappointed. Large glasses and a nice buzz afterwards even with the
chips and salsa before my enchilada. After ordering the food came out pretty quickly that we didn't even have time to even sip half of our margaritas! That is fast!!!
The opeing of the doors made it seem like outdoor dining even we were perplexed with the AC blowing on us in the dining room. Oh well gotta love the steamy summer in Chicago!…
User review by marcil. Have been here many, many times and I keep coming back! My favorite Mexican food in the neighborhood! I have brought different guests and they all love it too. Great in the summer with the doors opened to Broadway!…
Lakeview diners enjoy well-prepared Mexican favorites in a hushed atmosphere..
In Short
A dozen tables are packed into a bedroom-sized space at this quiet, low-key spot. The menu offers traditional Mexican dishes--burritos, tacos, enchiladas--as well as stellar
seafood plates like the camarones al mojo de ajo, packed with chunks of garlic atop grilled in-the-shell shrimp. Also available are a number of steak and pork dishes served with everything from a green chili sauce to chipotle and chorizo.…
Flavorful!. We've been 3 times in the past 3 weeks and have yet to be disappointed. Being vegetarian, it's so nice to have good, vegetarian options that are more than just cheese or grilled veggies. The Vegetarian combo platter is WONDERFUL! The chips are slightly greasy, but the salsa is great. And their classic margaritas are superb. And don't forget the sopapillas for dessert. Delicious!…
