El Mariachi

Tried this place after we did a hike. Coming from Texas I'm not really a fan of New Mexican Mexican food. This place tho is as close to Tex Mex as I can get. The food here is amazing. My son had the fajitas and the nice touch is they come with jalapeños grilled on them. I had the cheese enchiladas and they very amazing. If on this side of the mountain or even if you aren't give this place a try!

Outstanding menu items. Fresh guacamole. Yummy chorizo fundido, Barrias tacos, and enchiladas. Order at the counter, sit at one of the handfulof tables inside. $70 for 3 adults, 2 entrees, 2 apps & 3 non alcoholic drinks. We didn't order, but their family options looked like a great option.

I love this place. The mini carne asada tacos are my go to, but the nachos are pretty darn good, as well . This is my favorite local place to eat, I checked out the all you can eat Sunday brunch today, and I'm looking forward to trying that one weekend. The employees are beyond friendly and welcoming.I have a subtract a star for the amount of flies that swarm you and your food while you eat. Hanging fly tape is gross, but it beats having flies.

The food is delicious. They have indoor and covered outdoor seating. The service is effective. We keep coming back.

The food was amazing and the service was superb! We had the tamales, street tacos, beef tacos, frito pie, quesadillas, and a burger.

For my last meal in NM, I wanted something Christmas style but not fancy. This restaurant was definitely not fancy and could use some work on the outside eating area cleaning out the junk and making it pretty. However, the food was delicious, and the young woman manning the counter was ever so sweet. I ordered the cheese enchiladas plate with added chicken Christmas style, whole beans instead of refritos, no rice. It was heavy on chicken, light on cheese, but the sauces were outstanding. The red sauce was made of Chiles only, no tomato. The green sauce was pretty darned fiery. Loved them both! The bean pot liquor was very salty but the beans were delicious. My peaches ordered the combination plate with your choice of meat in a soft taco (he had carnitas), a cheese enchilada with red sauce, and a Chile relleno with green sauce. Peaches gave me a tiny bite of the relleno. The poblano was a wee bit spicy. The batter maintained its crunchy exterior. It was great! I thought the prices were reasonable for the portions and quality. If I lived in the area, I'd be back!

This place is really good. Carnitas burrito is top notch. Love NM but this place reminds me of Mexican food in Southern California. Fresh ingredients, sensible menu, staff that obviously love eachother. Great spot!

I judge a restaurant by how much unedible gristle is in the Carne asada.I'm halfway through my first Carne asada burrito and so far have run into 6 pieces of gristle that I could not eat. The meat seems like dry leftovers from two days ago. Person at the register was nice and friendly. When I asked my wife if she would go there again, it was a flat, NO. First time and last time, that was easy.

This was by far the worse food I've ever had. I was so excited to try it, I walked in to place my order, paid $34.00 plus $7 tip. I ordered carne asada with a shredded beef enchilada, rice and beans. What we got was a flour tortilla with some dry shredded beef with tons of melted cheese. No sauce, no salsa, there was maybe two tablespoons of very dried out rice, beans that probably came out of a can. I also ordered a chimichanga...again same dried out shredded beef with no taste at all, please trust me....this was the worse food I've ever had, we couldn't even give it to our dogs.I asked the young man as I walked out with my food if there was salsa in the bag he said "yes"NOPE NO SALSA NO CHIPS if I could put a -10 I would

We found this little gem on google maps and so glad we went a few minutes and miles out of our way and stopped. First off Ozzie was fabulous with asking all the right questions regarding our order, offered to bring our order out to us as we were sitting outside on the patio since we were traveling with our pups. Food was fantastic! The tacos are like I've never had, shell was fried on the stove! Husband tried the El Mariachi plate and said it was really good! Ozzie was so polite and friendly, made us feel at home. If in the area stop in and enjoy, you won't regret it!Oh and plenty of patio seating, covered and out of the weather with some Mountain Views. And parking for trailer or RV next door.
