"EL MARIACHI MEXICAN GRILL is expansive, with a large, heated, tent-covered patio. Inside and outside, this sports centric eatery has enough big-screen televisions to support an appliance shop. The restaurant is homage to old Mexico, complete with ridingsaddles resting on the crossbeams in the main dining area. Corn chips, bean-cheese dip and vegan salsa are provided at eachtable. The menu is populated with familiar Mexican dishes. Our server, Orquidea, who has been with the restaurant for fiveyears, described the ingredients of the many dishes on the menu. For example, the black beans are vegan, containing no animalproducts, however the rice is prepared with chicken broth. She pointed out that Chef Roberto and his staff will do everythingpossible to match special dietary requirements. I ordered an off-menu, vegan burrito. It arrived in a few minutes. Theapproximately footlong burrito was, give or take, three inches in diameter. In other words, it was huge. The oversized tortillaencased gently stir-fried vegetables with black beans. It arrived toasted and lightly sauced. It was muy bueno. The elevenyear old restaurant lives up to its name, by providing live Mariachi¹ music on the weekends. El Mariachi offers lots ofspecial offers. Here are a few: On Sunday 's all you can drink Mimosas. Half off on Mondays on everything butalcohol. Everyday, Mexican meals are cooked to order on a BeniPaisa; a Benihana style grill. The restaurant and bathrooms areADA compatible. At lunch and dinner low-cost valet parking is required. There is little nearby street parking. Online ortelephone orders are accepted for pickup or delivery by DoorDash. ¹ Mariachi is thought to have derived from the French wordmariage marriage . The joyful sound first became popular entertainment in the 1860s. Google"

"This is my personal opinion because I loved coming here and the food use to be good but this will be the last time I ever come. When I first got there during brunch hours we saw that the tables weren’t clean but our waitress proceed to sit my family and I down. But she offered to clean it. Which was great but when speaking to us very close we could smell her foul hot breath. Which disturbed my appetite and I felt fatigue at that point. Then we got another waitress and she served us okay. She did proceed to put in our order. Which approximately took around one hour and a half. Mind you this is not a top restaurant and at the time we were there it wasn’t that busy neither. So I wasn’t sure what was the hold up. Finally when my family and I received are food some of it was cold under cook soggy even with out us putting the sauces. My daughter was craving pancakes and when she received them I thought they were the new pancakes with tres leche filling. Well turns out they were just under cook and it was pancake batter that wasn’t done. And then we had an order of pastelitos which were supposed to be empanadas with ground beef and veggies. But when we received them it was just the empanadas shells empty because they forgot to put the meat. We called our waitress and she felt embarrassed when we told her this and she told us the manager wasn’t watching the chefs cook so that’s why this happen. At that point I was just disappointed with the food and the service so when I got my receipt and I also saw at the bottom it said you had to tip $15 dollars for gratitude which was outrageous because you should tip whatever amount you want not even when I go to top notch steak house they charge me that amount of tip. I was trying to speak to a supervisor or manager but they didn’t have anyone present there.I am not a Karen I am just expressing my personal opinion on how this experience was for me and don’t want anyone else to go through this."
