Disguisting. Very dirty i saw roaches in the bathrooms and they dont clean the tables. The waitress and waiters are very rude and they overcharged me and stole money from my card. I recoomend you stay far away from this chum bucket.

I love this place!! As a native Texan and frequent Mexico vacationer this is my go to place when I'm jonesing for some yummy Latin comfort food. It's so good. I love the shrimp a la mexicana, the carne asada is also super delish. Of course you can't go wrong with enchiladas or a chimichanga. It's all super yum. It's perfect for a low key date night with the hubs or quick weekday takeout. You go here for the food not for the looks. But once inside you'll know it's legit. Full bar so you can have beer or any other libation you want. I tend to get a horchata cause I mean why not!?!? Anywho, it's next to Golden Corral in the strip center next to the drive through. It's understated. It's authentic. It's delicious. You're welcome.

My Wife and I decided to order from this restaurant for the first time. Let me just start with this. The queso appetizer we order for 13 dollars, literally looked like shredded cheese from the grocery store. It came with a scorched top and it was unmelted underneath. You could still see all the individual shredded pieces of cheese. I called the store and I said exactly this "Is your queso literally just shredded cheese?" They said "yes it is, that's how we make our queso"..... So if you want half a bag of shredded cheese from ShopRite and charged 13 dollars for it, order from this lovely restaurant. I could go on and on about the rest of the food, but I think this speaks volumes. STAY AWAY!!

We ordered delivery of a chicken quesadilla, two tacos and the chimichanga. The quesadilla was huge. We shared it after unfolding it from the box. The tacos were chorizo and a chicken item. They had cilantro and onions. The chimichanga lunch special had retried beans and rice. The rice was some of the best I've had in town. The chimichanga had a golden crispy shell and gooey cheese and chicken inside that was still warm. A delightful lunch.

This place has great micheladas and the pupusas, and fajitas were delicious. Also, their customer service is amazing. The waitresses were very friendly and attentive. I had a great time at this location and recommend it to all. Mexican beers are 3.75, freakn still. Otra cubeta por favor.

Super fantastic Authentic Mexican food. We sat at bar and had queso fresco, guacamole and Nachos. They have both American and Mexican versions. We had chicken instead of beef. There was just enough for two to be satisfied for a late night dinner. Both of the girls that waited on us were super sweet. Can't wait to go back and try the street tacos that I saw someone else having.

Food was acceptable, service good. Went intending to use Buy One Get One Free Entertainment coupon, good till year's end. Laid coupon on table where highly visible. Mentioned to server we had a coupon.When she brought the check, she examined the coupon critically, leaving for the kitchen.She returned, saying manager would not accept it. I asked for manager. Server returned to kitchen twice, coming back saying he'd left. I asked for whoever in charge. Server left again then said they'd honor only 20% off and no one would come out to talk to me.It wasn't posted on the menu or dining room that Entertainment coupons not accepted. Server said they only take coupons from the back of shopping receipts.I have been to restaurants with different management/owners but they state on the menu that no coupons are accepted.Will never return.Also, take cash; they add a 3% surcharge if you use a credit card! Boo hiss.

Authentic, good, fast Latin American food, mostly Mexican. You will find tongue and tripe and posole on the menu. And plenty of cheesy music in the legitimate jukebox. And Spanish soap operas and other movies on the TV. What is important is that the food is good, plentiful, quick, and comes easily with a Latin American beer. The people are absolutely amazing. I just had one person notice I was dining alone at the far end of the bar with a book and they specifically introduce themself to me. It was simply because he wanted to make sure I didn't feel ostracized as the only non-Latin person in the place. I thought it was very well spoken for the entire environment. Good people good new friends!

I've been back to El Mariachi three times now, and they have always been consistently good. My last trip back was with Melanie B., and you can see many of the details in her review. A couple of things to add:I don't think the tortillas were as much "soggy" as just soft. (Soggy to me seems "wet".. these weren't wet.. just not the same as I'm used to.. still awesome tacos though!) I got the carne asada and chorizo tacos, Mexican-style with a side of pico de gallo. They were damn tasty.The chile relleno is good(ish), but I prefer the ones I make at home. It seems like they were better previously, and I also definitely prefer them without sour cream. But, they are really good about taking orders the way that you want--ordering Mexican-style tacos, for instance, instead of the American-style that are listed on the menu--so I'm sure they would definitely do a chile relleno to my specs if I asked.We also got a bowl of limes delivered for our beer without even having to ask. Love.My gringa palate is pretty okay with the tamales--they aren't as good as the ones I had in Mexico proper, for sure, but I've noticed a lot of American tamales have a weird, funky flavor (from the Americanized masa, I guess?) that these are delightfully lacking--the masa just tastes like corn. They are not quite as moist, but they are also not all dried out, either, as I have experienced in some places. Until I can get back to Mexico, El Mariachi will do; definitely the best tamales I've had thus far in Columbus.(Also, regarding other reviews--I don't normally like to comment on other reviews, but if you go to a Mexican joint and order burritos and American-style tacos, don't be shocked when it's not as good as it could be. This isn't the kind of food that Mexican people eat in Mexico, so it makes sense that it would be less good than traditional Mexican offerings.)
