The food was amazing! My wife had the Al Pastor queso jefe, and it was both humongous and delicious. I got the queso birria, and the flavors were spot on. The cheese pull on it was great! My son's burrito was also huge and did delicious. We got the dulce de leche churro and tres leches cake, and both were amazing. Service was great, even tho our server was doing 7 jobs at once, he provided us with timely service. The ambiance was that of an awesome local place. Would definitely go back again! read more

I've been to many taco places and this one by far has the most incredible Tacos. Especially making their Taco Tuesdays that much better! Their Tuesday deal truly was great.

El Mariachi - Chimichanga! - Mexican Near Me - Doylestown, Pennsylvania

Called in an order but when I brought it home it was wrong. Called back and they said that after I called, the chef let them know they could not make a torta but would put it all into a burrito. So, once they knew my order would be wrong they felt they did not need to call me back or let me know when I walked in. When I called about the order being wrong they did not offer to charge back the amount for the torta or even offer something else off the menu. Finally, I asked for chipotle on the torta but for some reason they still put pickled jalapeños on it....and instead of a chopped chipotle pepper it is some kind of chipotle hot sauce. Make sure to unwrap and check everything when you pick up orders here. read more

El Mariachi - "Torta con chipotle" - Mexican Near Me - Doylestown, Pennsylvania

They have the best chimichanga with mole sauce. Their tamales are fantastic as well. Our family is addicted. Great service and very friendly. read more

Went for takeout and frankly wasn't expecting over fried chicken taquitos ( rolled tacos made with corn tortillas) masquerading as flautas ( rolled tacos made with flour tortillas) complete with chicken jerky filling. They were basically burnt. And inedible. The chimichanga was supposed to be chicken and was made of pot roast beef. There was no spice that eluded the fact it was a Mexican dish. I live in San Diego and there's no way anyone would pay $24 for these things and wait 35 minutes for the privilege to do so. The gauc was okay but no jalapeños in there! They could actually be good if they checked the temp of the oil and freshness of ingredients, added some cilantro and some jalapeño too. Plus paid attention to what was actually ordered, too! AND btw how is it that everything was COLD? Not good. read more

Not as authentic as I was excited for it to be. The Bistec a la Mexicana did not need that much sauce on top, it was too watery. As for the Tostadas with tinga, it was a let down. Maybe I'm not used to homemade crispy tortilla as the base since I always buy them and are perfect. It was supposed to be chicken with chipotle sauce but I tasted nothing of such. Simply watery chicken and a hint of chipotle. I like my tinga to be spicy and for the chipotle sauce to pop. The Gorditas with chorizo were too crunchy. Hopefully they improve in the future. I wish nothing but the best for this business since it has so much potential. read more

El Mariachi - The Bistec a la Mexicana - Mexican Near Me - Doylestown, Pennsylvania

My family I have had many things from their menu and have liked every one of them. We love the tacos, the chimichangas, the quesadillas, the enchiladas, and the flautas, but we have been going for years, so we like to try as many items as we can. The guacamole is also great, as well as their verde and roja sauce. My favorite sauce is their mole. It is a simple setting but most of the wait staff is great. Anika is our favorite when we come in on Friday nights. It's BYOB so the prices are right and it is a great place to meet friends. They have been one of our pandemic mainstays. I feel confident recommending El Mariachi to anyone. read more

Went for dinner and first red flag was it took over 45 min to get my food. Then we got cold tamales and they gave me new ones but then charged causes I ate some of the cold one . What I questioned them, it was my fault for not telling them instead of them informing me that the to get hot food, I would have to pay. It's a bad customer service establishment read more

Authentic Mexican food at reasonable prices. Very spacious and comfortable dining rooms for families and large parties. Portions are large and well presented. The owners are on the premises and their staff is very friendly. My wife asked about a dish we once had in Mexico and they just made it for us even though it wasn't on the menu, that surely made our day. If you're in the Doylestown area, look no further, this is the best Mexican restaurant around. Alcohol is not served, so don't forget to BYO. They also offer a take-out menu. read more

The food left mixed reviews among all of us. The meat in the taco was a bit rubbery - either quality or length of time cooked. The tacos themselves (shell) was very good. Not sure how I felt about the sour cream- probably not my favorite. And the other items has good reviews. Food was a bit heavy- could be the oil or other types of ingredients/things in the food. read more

Attempted to go here for lunch today. Their hours state 11AM-9PM on Friday however at 12:30pm they were still closed. What a waste of time. They were just showing up to open the place at 12:30pm as we arrived. So dumb. read more

Best Mexican food i have ever eaten,my family and i constantly come here and we all always enjoy the food. The prices are great and the staff is nice. Strongly recommend if you are craving a good Mexican meal. (Strongly reccomend the taco tex mex or the nachos with chicken) read more

Repeat reviewer. We live close by so EM is a convenient, quick, inexpensive dinner out with decent food. And BYOB is always good. Something was amiss on our visit last week. Steak in the tacos was really grissley and chewy and not flavorful. Rice was cold. We've gone to EM like 20 times and it's going downhill a little bit. This visit was a bottom. Wait staff is too slow and not that friendly. Food took much longer than usual to come out. Carnitas tacos had shredded pork; I could swear it was marinated sliced pork before. Not flavorful. Pretty bland. Salsa is good but way too watery. I am almost sure it's just from a jar. Gotta thicken it up. And OK if you change nothing else, you have to serve the salsa in small bowls, not in little disposable plastic cups. The chips don't even fit in the teeny little cups. And with the watery salsa, forget it. Make good salsa, get red salsa as an option and get real salsa bowls! read more

Tacos for lunch and they were phenomenal... chorizo and also carnitas. I've driven by here a lot and finally got around to it. Extremely satisfying authentic Mexican food... everything on the menu sounds amazing and I'll surely be back regularly now. Also have a kids menu! read more

Such haters. This is def the best Mexican in the area (which admittedly isn't saying much). El Taco Loco in New Hope probably has the edge, but they're pretty spendy in there. Employees at Mariachi are very nice and the food is consistently good to very good. Hands down better any day of the week versus Chipotle or Moe's...and why give your money to the corporate beast when you don't have to? Try it. You might like it. read more

Best guacamole around. Even the non guacamole at the table were fans. The salt steak tacos were fresh and very yummy with the side of salsa. Definitely will be back for more soon! read more

The bathroom was so disgusting! The smell was overbearing. There was doo-doo On the walls!!! No soap, no paper towels. When I told the host there was no soap or paper towels, she offered me hand sanitizer! I will NEVER eat there again!!! read more

Ahhh, fabulous fresh food. The chicken enchilada verde is still the best. Yummy beans and rice. Still a great place to dine.

Favorite Mexican in the area! The food is always prepared perfectly and it's quick take out. Best guacamole and chimichangas hands down!

Great traditional food. Recently went to Mexico and this is much closer to the food there than other "Mexican" places in the area. Normally split a couple dishes, which is usually a seafood dish and a meat dish. The dishes are spicy, but not over the top. I'm sure they'll adjust to your preference if you ask. Staff is really friendly and will make you laugh especially if you ask a dumb question. Only complaint is that some dishes on menu aren't available since they want to keep things fresh and don't care some ingredients that aren't ordered often. Still everything that was available that we tried has been good. No bar, but BYOB is welcome. PA liquor store is down the street in the Plumsteadville shopping plaza and area taverns on 611 have take out beer. read more

In a land of chains, blandness and mediocrity that sums up too much of the food that is served in the greater Doylestown area, there lies a gem of a little restaurant... El Mariachi. For me I treat it like a Mexican taquiera.. I almost always order the mexican tacos (corn tortillas warmed on the stove with meat onion and cilantro... ) and perhaps a tamale on the weekend. They have more than the carne asada and the tinga to fill your taco as well.. chorizo, lengua and sometime barbacoa can be your filling. Top them with a little salsa verde and it is heaven. The restaurant is byo.. but they do serve Mexican coke and a full line of the Jarritos sodas. They lose one star for not having horchata. I would probably stay away from some of the higher priced dishes on the menu.. not a place to go for ceviche or a huachinango.. but don't walk.. run to El Mariachi for some authentic flavor. read more

This is definitely the best Mexican restaurant in town. Here is why I love this place (in no particular order): 1. They make authentic tomales (wrapped in corn husks) on the weekends that are delicious 2. It's BYOB, and if you bring tequila they will give you margarita mix 3.Quesadillas are outstanding. My personal favorite is the Queadilla Jefe. You will not leave hungry if you order this I've eaten something different every time I've been (going on 7 or 8 times now) Whether it was Tacos (some of the best I've ever had), pollo mi pueblito, fajitas or burritos, the food is phneominal. Note... I love food. This is not a "this restaurant is, like, way better than taco bell" review. It is authentic Mexican food, that's on par with (or even surpasses) El Vez in philly and is way better than pocos or other mexican fare in the area. They only take reservations for parties of 5 or more. While there are always people in there, we've never had trouble getting a seat. read more

Hmmm. Don't know what to say about this place. They don't have Horchata which is a big let down for being an "authentic" Mexican restaurant. I had the tacos which were good, but nothing to write about! Would I get them again, probably not. I'm not even sure if I would go back as there are a lot better options within 20min from Doylestown. The chips could have been warmed up and the default salsa could have had some heat. They have hot salsa upon request. This place seems like they want to be "authentic" but have to cater to the white rednecks in the area which takes away from their potential. read more

good mexican food, relatively quiet place so quick service. One of my favorite mexican places ever.

I should have planned ahead and picked up some beers before getting here as they do not serve any alcoholic beverages. Not that I need a Dos Equis every time I bite into a burrito but the wait for the food was a little longer than expected. Nothing fancy about the interior but very clean and the staff were super friendly. Prices were a little higher than I expected but easy to get to when you know where it is and they allow you to byob. read more

This Restaurant is hands down the best authentic mexican food in the area (and by that I mean like a 100 mile range). Never disappoints! We have circled the menu and back and everything is great, always fresh. The nachos are my favorite from any restaurant I have ever had. My wife says I order the Chicken Mole too much and I feel the exact opposite. If you need to get out the habit of ordering the same old take out add this place to your repertoire ASAP! read more

What is with the service?! It's either they're really slow and lazy OR they were extremely understaffed that night. Waiting waiting waiting... dirty tables waiting to be cleared... patrons waiting to be served... us waiting to be acknowledged and seated. Waiting to get our menus. Waiting for silverware. Waiting to get our waters. Waiting for our orders to be taken. Waiting an hour for our appetizer. Waiting for our entrees (which was luckily tasty although my bistec was a bit dry and overcooked, the guacamole was very good tho). Waiting for hot sauce (did not have tapatio or cholula). Waiting waiting waiting.... I think the only thing they were quick on was the check! Hmph. I'd give them another try just to see if it was one of their crazy "off" nights - luckily we were not in a rush to go anywhere because a 3-hr dinner is awfully long! read more

I really liked the guacamole. And the salsa verde served with the chips was good. HOWEVER, everything else was bland. The chicken enchiladas were dry and tasteless, my chile relleno was cold in the center and the breading was soggy. It's not worth going back. read more

Used to be good, now the dining room is dirty, portions have become small. They have lost their flair. Not many choices up that way. read more

El Mariachi - Pet friendly - Mexican Near Me - Doylestown, Pennsylvania

See all

I've given El Mariachi a couple chances so far...here are my conclusions: -I wouldn't call it 100% authentic mexican but it's not tex-mex either. It's somewhere in between. -The salsa is just okay -The menu is expansive which is a plus -The service is generally good -It's a big place it's usually not hard to get a seat -The food is okay...about average but nothing truly impressive -Prices are reasonable It's not a place I think of right away when I want Mexican food but it's a decent option for the area. read more

I love this place. It's made right. Priced right. BYO. Good selection. Amazing sauces. Do yourself a favor. Nothing fancy inside as it should be. read more

Great easy going local mexican joint. Has a very authentic feel and some great meat options. The lengua and salt cured beef is fantastic. For those that have never had lengua it tastes just like pot roast. The carnitas were fatty and gristly and should be skipped. Enchiladas and tacos are great. Gorditas are heavy and look small but are quite filling. Chicken tamale was dry and needed a sauce on top. Guacomole is okay and the chile verde salsa that they serve with the chips is addictive. They have a spicy red chipotle hot sauce that is made from scratch and is quite tasty. The rice is pretty good and the beans are ok. Prices were very low and reasonable in comparison to the other mexican restaurants in the area. If you're on the fence about going just go and remember that it's BYOB. read more

Food was very good and authentic. Price is just right and it's byob, so bring your Tequilla. Service isn't great but don't let that stop you. read more

This is your Hispanic food restaurant of the area. Good place to eat if you are interested in good food and amazing salsa. They will always give you more salsa if you ask for it. They work with a promotional group called "belly", which prompted me to give someone there a high five. Apparently enough high fives will earn me a free appetizer or something similar. Great for takeout. Great for kids. Byob but the price is right the kind of food you are served. The esthetic is cool considering its location in a strip mall between a post office and a hair dresser. The wall mural is pretty cool as well. Great thing for playing I-spy with your young ones. If you hungry and in the area. Please go here! read more

I thought I was never going to find good Mexican food in Bucks County, but I finally did. We have been back twice and are going again tonight. The food is excellent slightly Americanized (but not overly so) Mexican food. I had an aunt that owned and cooked for a Mexican restaurant, and have lived in California for a long time and Austin for not long enough. I know my south of the border food and El Mariachi has it all figured out. It was a special treat to find Chiles Rellenos. Now I have to remember to ask them if they ever do tamales... :) Update: Yes, they have tamales, all the time, and they are excellent. I upgraded my rating from a 4 to a 5 accordingly. :) read more

Good, authentic Mexican food at very good prices. Whoever said that the food arrived cold obviously never saw/smelled the sizzling fajitas being delivered to the tables, or dug into the steaming enchiladas verde. The have lots of good specials, especially on weekends. The staff is normally very attentive, although we went once when they were obviously short-handed and waited a bit. BYOB makes it a very reasonably-priced meal. The menu is pretty broad, and includes some vegetarian and non-mex stuff for kids and those who are not mex fans. I have to agree that the place is not much to look inside. The could really do a lot with it by adding some better lighting and maybe some privacy dividers between parts of the seating area- and I would find a way to get rid of the parking lot view. But as someone else mentioned, you don't come to Mariachi for the ambiance- you come for a good, casual, BYOB mex meal. And if you come on a night when the (authentic) singing Mariachi is making rounds at the tables, you may forget all about the decor. We recommend El Mariachi as a good value in casual, local, BYOB dinner dining- and you can get take-out too! read more

Love this place. BEST Mexican food around Doylestown. Everything on the menu is fresh, full of flavor, and authentic. This place is BYOB which is A++ for me. You'll spend $25-$35 + bottle of wine for two people and really enjoy yourself. Service is friendly, maybe a little inexperienced, and the decor, ambiance, and location of the restaurant leave some to be desired, but that is not why I go to El Mariachi. Love the food. They offer take out so you can enjoy it in the comfort of your home if you don't like their dining room. If El Mariachi was located in a more aesthetically pleasing strip mall (or anywhere else, honestly) it would be much more successful. A true "hole in the wall". If you haven't eaten there and are looking for GREAT Mexican food - El Mariachi is where it's at! RECOMMEND!! read more
