El Mariachi - Beaver - Chicken Enchilada/Chile Relleno combo plate - Mexican Near Me - Beaver, West Virginia

Great food, Great service, terrible Margaritas! No tequila in them. Order beer instead.

One of the best Mexican restaurants in Raleigh County. The food is delicious, staff are friendly and attentive and their prices are good. I highly recommend them. read more

Great food and friendly atmosphere and we have been enjoying this place for many months sense we discovered it

Just your average Mexican food place in WV. The salsa was more like ketchup. The fajitas were good though and you did get plenty of food. Service was lacking as we never got our drinks refilled. read more

I loved this charming restaurant located in a simple neighborhood. The warm, welcoming atmosphere immediately put me at ease. The service was exceptional; I was able to speak comfortably in Spanish with the friendly waiter, which made the experience even more enjoyable. I was pleasantly surprised to discover such a vibrant and inviting place, so far from my home. My quesadilla was vegetarian, stuffed with a generous mix of fresh, crunchy vegetables like bell peppers, mushrooms, and onions, and it was absolutely delicious. Finding options with truly fresh veggies is usually challenging, so this was a delightful discovery. I would love to visit again if I ever return to the area. read more

Barfy. Double barf mcBarfy. I went here expecting the usual Mexican fare. The chips were okay. The Salsa was salty--annoyingly salty. Then the fajitas came. They too were salty. Beans were okay. Rice was okay. Everything my family of four had was salty, and that seemed to be the consensus among us. Perhaps a disgruntled employee was getting revenge...who knows but food isn't supposed to be that overseasoned with salt. We haven't been back. read more

4/5 stars for the area 3/5 stars for Mexican restaurants in general. Service was great! - no shrimp cocktail (Coctel de Camarones estilo Mexicano) - can't try nor rate something they don't have. Def my go to when going to restaurants such as this one. Menu is way way too big. Takes too long to order. Food is great - ground beef is meh - Queso is meh - barely spiced! (Good for the little or older ones) Chicken and cheese (arroz con pollo) was amazing Chimichanga was good Cheese enchilada was good Enchilada sauce was good All in all- our entire meal was good. read more

We did take out. So can't speak to the ambience but it was busy. We both got chicken fajita taco salads to go and they were delicious. Would definitely order again. read more

Happen to be driving through and stopped for street style tacos. The asada/steak tacos have chorizo in them. I wouldn't have chosen that but I wasn't mad about it because they were delicious! Their salsa was delicious with the tacos. The perfect amount of heat and great flavor. The tacos have a generous portion of meat, you could easily spilt some of the meat with the other tortillas since each taco has two corn tortillas. Our To-go came with chips and salsa and that was a nice surprise. read more

Excellent food. Great service. The staff were quick and efficient. Our server checked on us more than once and refilled our drinks without us needing to ask. The Chori Pollo Chimichanga ranks as one of the most flavorful dishes I have eaten. My husband's Chile Colorado was very good as well. read more

Food is fresh and great whether you eat in and take away. Quesadilla deluxe Texas style is very good.

Great food and awesome service at this local Mexican restaurant. Best in the area! Ever meal we had has been great but we love the street tacos. Welcoming environment. The owners are also very supportive of the community and schools. read more

Food was excellent and filling. And our server (Chris) was amazing!! Have rarely seen a waiter hustle so much to refill chips, drinks, etc. I can't say enough about someone who works this hard to give a good experience. Give that man a raise!! read more

El Mariachi is a local favorite and although the outside doesn't look like much the inside is truly like stepping into a Mexican cantina. Although I had been here a number of times over the years, I was pleasantly surprised to see the new and unique selections of entrees. My favorite was the Vegetarian burrito; this is gigantic, as in the mother of all burritos! Not only is there no way you could be hungry after eating this but it's exploding with flavors of roasted corn, fajita veggies, seasoned rice, and Queso fundido! The owners clearly take pride in their restaurant offering a clean and inviting atmosphere with great Mexican cuisine. Best part is that it's right off the interstate! read more

From the outside, it looks like a place I might drive right by. HOWEVER, the food was absolutely delicious and definitely priced right. We ate 3 baskets of chips (!!) before our food even came. Everything tasted fresh and made to order. Next time we're in Beaver, we'll be back!! read more

Average American Mexican restaurant. Good days and bad days with service. Prices good. Food average to a little higher.

Well our favorite restaurant for Mexican food closed suddenly..my son is very picky and loved that place...well we got a invite from El Mariachi and saw several familiar faces. Come to find out several of the crew is now working there..so the food was very good and it was familiar to us. We loved the fact they had more variety as well..we were very pleased and will be back soon! Update....ate there tonight and oh the food was so good...best quesadilla I think I ever ate! Yum read more

There are several reasons why this is the best Mexican Restaurant in the Beckley area. Jose and his team are top-notch! There could not be a better ambassador for local businesses! During times of despair in the area, he is almost always the first to provide relief! They are so community-minded and do so much, with so little to help the community. This is a small business that does really big things! They host a lot of fundraisers to help individuals in need. I just can't say enough about how Awesome Jose and his team are! The food is excellent, the service is fast and the experience is always pleasant. This place is a hidden gem if you aren't from here. If you are from here, you know it can't be beat! Stop by, you will be glad you did! read more

When you think of good Mexican food, usually Beaver, WV does not come to mind. However, I was pleasantly surprised at the quality and taste of the food! I grew up in Tucson, AZ and I have travelled to Mexico many times. When it comes to authentic Mexican food, most (but not all) restaurants that are not close to our Southern border cater to American tastes. Pro Tip #1: If you want authentic Mexican tacos, they should be using soft shell corn tortillas and be topped with cilantro and onions with lime wedges on the side to squeeze on top. Look for the terms "street tacos" or "authentic tacos" and make sure they are topped with cilantro and onions. Pro Tip #2: If you like hot salsa, most Mexican restaurants will have it, but you have to ask if they have any hot salsa in the back. I ordered the Tacos Al Pastor (which is pork with spices and pineapple). They come on soft shell corn tortillas and are topped with cilantro and onions and have lime wedges on the side. Yay! I also ordered a lime margarita on the rocks with salt. The tacos were very good! I would order them again! My waiter was friendly and called me "corazón," which was sweet. Unfortunately, I accidentally found myself in Beaver, WV after having to avoid the last toll on the WV Turnpike, so I likely won't be able to come back to this restaurant. However, if I ever find myself back in this small town again, I will absolutely come back to El Mariachi! read more

We are so happy to have found this place on our way home from Snowshoe. Absolutely delicious!! Between the four of us, we had the Al Pastor tacos, the steak and chorizo street tacos, chorizo and eggs, and steak grilled quesadilla. It did not disappoint! Yummy, authentic Mexican. Really cute place with excellent service. Can't wait to stop here again! read more

The overall best place to eat in this county. Great service, great food, great drinks!!! Love this place.

Typical inexpensive Mexican restaurant with numerous options, combinations, and sizzling dishes. But being in the middle of Beaver, WV around other boring fast food joints, I'd come back in a heartbeat. The food was tasty and well-cooked. Prices averaged around $10 per plate for dinner. The service was good as well as the server was knowledgeable and provided helpful recommendations from the vast menu. read more

El Mariachi - Beaver - Pork carnitas burrito with beans - Mexican Near Me - Beaver, West Virginia

Best Mexican restaurant in WV. Chips and salsa is consistently one of the best parts of the trip. The service is unmatched. The food is consistently amazing. I have nothing but GREAT things to say about the food, experience, and service here. read more

We were all starving after leaving Winterplace and the kids love Mexican. We were greeted immediately and brought chips and salsa by a very friendly greeter/server. Our food was delicious and margaritas were some of the best ever. We don't live in the area or would become regulars. We definitely recommend this to anyone who likes Mexican food. Keep up the great work!!! read more

It was awful. I had a combo comprising a burrito, enchilada and relleno. The burrito and the enchilada were identical except for the length...I mean IDENTICAL, under-spiced hamburger with a canned sauce and a light sprinkling of cheese. The relleno was a smear of the same hamburger mix that was in the burrito/enchilada, covered with cheese and then broiled into a flat, greasy blob. What happened to the pablano? To get that you have to order the "TRADITIONAL" relleno. Instead of the pictured coconut drink with the slices of tropical fruit and an umbrella, I received a coconut-tasting sumthin' in an ice tea tumbler, and it darn near doubled the price of my dinner. Some alcohol in the drink would have been nice. This was the worst Mexican meal I have ever had. read more

This place used to have fairly decent food, but the quality has really went down hill. Have eaten here since they opened and used to frequent it regularly but the last 4 times have been terrible. After giving them many chances in case they just had an off night I won't be back.There are to many better Mexican options around town to have to settle with this low quality food read more

I'm new to the area. The service was great and they were very friendly. Not sure why it's "voted best in the area" though. The food is fine. I've had this exact flavor of Mexican food in other small towns. The restaurant felt clean and had a good vibe. I'll give it a 3 star because of the service. read more

Very good and people are always kind. The place is pretty clean also and the prices aren't as high as campestre

We came all the way from Columbus just to go to this restaurant. If you are looking for a place to eat in Beaver this is 100% the place to go. Delicious food for great prices. The wait service was very attentive and friendly. Is this open for franchise? read more

We were passing through town and decided to have a quick lunch. This place is amazing!! The service was so prompt! Our waiter, I believe his name is Chris, couldn't have been more perfect at his job. The food came out very quickly and it was delicious. Spot on! Thank you for such an enjoyable lunch!! read more

Absolutely my favorite Mexican restaurant ever. I have tried close to 90% of the items on the menu. And there has been only one item that I wasn't happy with. The greatest Mexican dish of all time is served here. The Quesadilla San Jose! Order it extra spicy with spicy quest on top. This is a giant chipotle burrito, stuffed to the max with steak, chorizo, and chicken. All that soaked in Colorado sauce! It is so good. And it will curb even the biggest appetite. The staff is top notch. Nice group of people that are very attentive and friendly. Make us feel like we are family. The prices are affordable. Always clean. Nice little bar area upstairs to go knock a few cold ones back. Eat here all the time. read more

Tonight my wife and I decided to try this restaurant because everyone talked about how great it was. I didn't see where it was so outstanding. There was nothing wrong with the restaurant it was just your average Mexican restaurant. There was quick and excellent service. When the host walked us to our table the chips and salsa showed up immediately. The salsa was quite spicy as I like it, it did contain cilantro which I am NOT a big fan of. but other than that it was probably the best salsa I have ever gotten at a Mexican restaurant. I ordered fried beef chimichangas and they came quickly but they were not any different than chimichangas I have eaten at other Mexican restaurants. The only complaint I have is the food was not as hot as most Mexican restaurants serve their food. I would recommend this restaurant just don't get your expectations too high when visiting. read more

My family and I come from Orlando, and LOVE our Mexican place at home. We had a Mexican craving and decided to come here. It's typical Mexican for a great price. They have really awesome food, not too hot but still has a nice amount of spice to it. Their cheese isn't thick like traditional queso, that was disappointing. But the service was nice, Megan is a sweet girl who got our complicated order right(= I recommend the lunch #8, with a soft taco. Their rice is fantastic! read more
