Simple order to go. Large queso, taco dinner with ground beef, beef fajitas for one. We don't do ground beef tacos. It's fajita beef. Okay. When the to go order comes out, it's queso and tacos. No lettuce, no tomatoes, no cheese, no beans, and no fajita dinner. The beans for the taco dinner come out right away, the fajitas take about 10 minutes more. When I get home, the fajitas are colder than the tacos.

We come here once a week every week. We have our favorite waiter Samuel and the manager/owner is always there to stop by and say hi to my family. We LOVE their house Margarita. All of their food is delicious. Try any of their fish plates. They even have a fenced off area outside with kids toys.

There is no shortage of Mexican food restaurants to eat at in North Houston, but the food is so good at El Mariachi Mexican Bar and Grill that it has become a go-to spot for business lunch. Its location, less than a mile from my office, doesn't hurt either.My normal dish from the lunch menu is chicken enchiladas and I've had the taco al carbon also. Both were very good and very filling. One of my colleagues kept telling my how good the street tacos are, so I gave in and ordered them on a recent visit. The campechanos tacos totally changed my opinion of street tacos... they were exceptional.

Great authentic food, this is not Tex-Mex. The service was top notch. We got horchata which was good. The street tacos, (campechano) and chimichanga (beef) was very good along with some chile con queso.
