SO had previously visited and had carne asada fajitas, which he described as "chewy and gristly," but we decided to give the place another chance several months later. I ordered the chicken enchiladas mole. The chicken was stringy and tasted like it had been boiled hard in plain water. The mole was "hot" but that's it for flavor - no chiles, chocolate, peanuts, sesame seed taste at all, like it'd been watered down and thickened with cornstarch. The tortillas were....rubbery? Owner must've seen my plate set to the side and he asked if everything was OK. I told him what I've said here and he apologized and said he'd talk to the chef. But he still charged us for my order. Will not return. read more

Get ready to be transformed into another atmosphere! Went here for dinner on a Thursday night. The place was packed and music was playing, it was very lively! We were greeted by the host as soon as we stepped in. Staff were friendly and prompt. We ordered drinks, appetizer and entrees. They serve warmed tortillas chips with salsa complimentary. We tried queso dip with carne. It's a bit runny but tasted good. We got two orders of birria tacos and it was delish. This place is definitely a hidden gem. read more

" Bland food not tasty at all And overpriced for the quality" They have a small parking lot parking is not an issue . The food is bland . They also use cheap oil. The taste of the food is not authentic. It's also overpriced for the quality. The guy that is always at the place is not too friendly. They have seats indoors . We have way better Mexican restaurants such a short drive away that you can get the bang for your buck . This place is not worth it . read more

Overall, a pretty decent find, though the food caters more to a bland palate than that of an authentic Mexican food lover. This was my initial Impression, at least, as the salsa served with thick corn tortilla chips was watery tomato and seasoned by more scallions than chili peppers. The Arroz con Camarones was a nice portion of well cooked shrimp and vegetables...some beans would have been a great addition. Despite the vibrant red color, the dish was saucy but very mild. I was a little envious of the beans and cactus salsa salad served on my son's pork carnitas plate. The acid and little kick of the cactus salad may have been the most flavorful bite of food we tasted. Friday afternoon at 3:00pm, the restaurant was very quiet and service was quick and friendly. Colorful interior, though some of the booths were well worn and torn. A good place to meet up with a smaller crowd or family. We were too late for the lower priced lunch menu, though dinner prices were reasonable. read more

El Mariachi - Arroz con Camarones - Mexican Near Me - South Easton, Massachusetts

Overall a great experience. The staff were super friendly but took a very long time for some reason despite the restaurant being empty. Your typical Mexican restaurant that isn't really Mexican but the food was still decent, not very spicy. It's what you'd expect. I will say the prices were quite good so I would go back if I was in the area. What you see is what you get. Classic decor everywhere. read more

Been there a few times. Food is on the blander side, drinks are alright. Our most recent visit had us seated in the back. It was later in the evening so it was darker outside, but the wall sconces were left off and the music was blaring. Our waiter "Ken" was smug and a bit condescending. He barely served our table (he removed our plates but hardly checked in on us nor offered us drink refills). He didn't write anything down and got a number of things wrong with our orders. The real issue is this: when we were looking at our menus, he directed us to place them at the end of the table when we were ready to order. However, while we were looking and idly chatting shortly after being seated, the man walks by and CLAPS at us to say "can you hurry up?" After some deliberation (despite feeling disrespected), we decided not to leave a tip. I've never NOT left a tip in my life. I know it's these people's livelihoods. It made it a little easier that his overall demeanor and service was lacking, but it was ultimately being disrespected that did it for us. Everything else would've been overlooked. Signed the receipt after dinner and left. Didn't bother writing the total, which was my mistake, because when the payment posted on my card a couple days later, I saw they decided to add an $18 tip for me! I had to dispute the transaction and ultimately got a credit from my card provider for the discrepancy, but was still pissed they even had the audacity to do that. Couldn't find any contact info for the owners or anything. We will not be visiting again. read more

The food has been good overall except there have been some changes over the years. When you get takeout and they screw up your order or something isn't right, you are stuck with it because you can't send it back to the kitchen. Last night I ordered takeout and it took 3 times to explain I wanted "shredded beef chimi", not ground beef. Guess what I got? Ground beef. I love Ranchero beans but last night, they were dried-out ranchero beans and skimpy helpings of rice. Rough night for takeout. read more

Never knew how different a chain restaurant can be from one place to the next. We visit the one in Taunton regularly and it's great! This weekend we tried this location and.... wow. Full disclosure: I rarely write a bad review as I hate the idea of businesses losing customers. Thst being said, someone should step in with this place. First, all three meals were cold... VERY cold. The appetizers dish was overcooked, dry and.... still cold. Our waitress was fine, drinks were good. Cannot say I'd recommend this location bit the Taunton restaurant is well worth the extra drive. read more

Rough experience all around - the salsa was bland, the margaritas were somehow undrinkable (one with way too much booze, one the opposite with way too much "flavor" mix) and the food was clearly prepared from frozen and essentially not edible. The few positives - ambiance was good, and the service staff were all pleasant (aside from not checking in about food or drink quality). Hard to recommend, even with the lack of other food options in the area. read more

My wife and I love El Mariachi. We go to the South Easton location frequently. The food is excellent and prices for food and beverages are very reasonable. We have been going there for 7 years. Over time we got to know the staff. Eduardo became a favorite of ours. He is personable and efficient taking care of us other patrons We always asked to be seated at a table that was in Eduardo's section when he worked as a waiter. He can now be found working as bartender and we always stop for drink before or after dinner. read more

Service is great but the food here is bland and lacks authentic Mexican flavor. I've tried most of the things on the menu and they are all bland and lacking and sometimes come out cold. For the price you pay it's not worth it, casa Vallarta in Brockton is a lot better quality. Not really sure why people eat here besides the ambience. Wouldn't be suprised if food was microwaved read more

Customer service very nice. Portion size great. The foods is very bland. I had to add seasoning to it.

I was happy with the food and service. Its hard to find a decent Mexican restaurant in the Easten area. The prices were reasonable and they have a nice bar in a separate room for singles or meeting up with friends. read more

I'm still in love with this place, great drinks, incredible fresh food and some of the friendliest and most helpful staff you will meet anywhere. Special mention to our server Alyssa, thanks for the outstanding service. read more

Very nice place. Great service. Great food. Table side guac was amazing. Dinners were great too. Will definitely come back next time I'm in the Raynham area. read more

This is my second time at El Mariachi and I really like going there! The service is great and everyone is so nice! The food is delicious, some of the best Mexican food in the area! I love anything with fajitas and they have a huge selection from fajitas to fajitas burritos and fajitas tacos! I had the fajitas tacos and they were delicious. The flavor of the chicken was delicious, better than I thought it would be. And I loved the rice and beans that came with the tacos too! I would recommend this restaurant if you are looking for delicious and well priced food read more

Always such a great experience, food is great. Service is great and the atmosphere is friendly and very accommodating. Great parking space.

Just as good as La Paloma in Quincy. Truly a hidden gem. Never mind the Trump store next door... great food. Parking can be tricky, flying in on 138 and then breaking for a hairpin turn to find parking, but there is plenty of parking. Lots of nice folks - really great staff. Quick and courteous. You get warm chips and salsa, and we ordered the queso dip and guacamole dip which was made right in front of us. That alone could have been a meal! For the meal, I tried the sampler three plate. Rice and beans, and salad, never my favorite. Tamale, tostada and burrito. All chicken. All very good. Didn't leave hungry!! Great prices and very clean. No negatives. Highly recommended. 13MAY2022 read more

Tucked away in the back of a small plaza off a busy street. Inside decorated very nicely; true Mexican decoration. They have outdoor seating so we opted for that. The margaritas were very tasty. The seasonal apple one is a must try!! The mango was like any regular margarita. The ceviche... good lord... so fresh. It's not pre-made so you have to wait a bit but so very delicious. I didn't have any to even take home. My cousin rated her Al pastor pork taco 9/10. Would recommend coming here! read more

Stopped in last Saturday evening and was disappointed with the restaurant over all. Service deserves a good rating- our waiter was friendly and prompt. The food was sub par. Tortilla chips were stale, refried beans were watery, rice was under seasoned. My pork carnitas were the upside of the meal- tender and delicious. The bathrooms were not in good shape- big puddles of water (hopefully) on the floor. I don't know if I'd risk a second try at the restaurant, there's lots of other consistently good Mexican food in the area. read more

(From Florida) Beyond a shadow of a doubt, this place is thee BEST Mexican restaurant EVER!!! 3 of us got the fajita steak chimichanga. They were amazing- fried to a beautiful crisp! Salads are huge! OMG and the churros My son ordered the chicken tenders. They're actually a chicken breast that's sliced and lightly hand battered there and fried. Really great quality food. ***we're very picky about where we eat. Food is usually not worth what you pay for. This place is worth every penny!!!! They even make guacamole at your table upon request!! TRY TRY TRY TRY THIS PLACE!!! read more

This a great restaurant all the staff are nice and the food comes fast I highly recommend this restaurant. The atmosphere of the restaurant is very nice. read more

I been coming here for years. The food here is delicious and service is always good. I typical get the Fajita Fiesta with the shrimp and chicken. The portion on this dish is pretty generous. You basically can build your own meal with what they give you. Price is reasonable for the quality that you get. There always music playing and the interior make you feel like your in Mexico. Definitely, come try it for yourself read more

Food and service were both awesome. Place is colorful and welcoming. Can't wait to return

Best Mexican food around and great prices too. Table Guacamole is the best anywhere. We always visit once a week and always get super great service! read more

Delicious food! Would be 5 stars, however the fruit flies were annoying and the cost of the food was a bit much! The salsa was my absolute favorite! I would definitely return to this restaurant. read more

My wife & I have been loyal customers of this great little restaurant for 10 years or so, and they've never disappointed. Personally, their best quality is their staff. They couldn't be more welcoming and I always find myself wondering how they've managed to maintain it consistently while every other restaurant struggles to keep employees. As far as the food is concerned, it's always consistent and I've never had a bad experience. I can't recommend El Mariachi enough. They truly do a great job and you're always left feeling as though they genuinely appreciate your business! read more

Best food, the staff is great, treat you like family, and beautiful inside! 10 stars...something for everyone

The food ordered is fresh but There's more canned beans being used in the burritos and soups. The ambiance is lovely and service with a smile! read more

This place is a big disappointment. Bad service, cold food which took forever to come out. Nothing like sitting there and watching people who came in after you ordering food and getting it before your appetizer even comes out. read more

Please don't go to this restaurante. I when there last Friday for my friends birthday dinner . I payed with my card include the tip but they charged my card 20$ more . I called them and no one's give me a solution .Never again read more

Not sure what happened to this place but it used to be really good. The flavor of the carne asada is ok. The chips are so stale that it shouldn't be served at all. The portions are tiny like a kids meal. Take a look at the picture for $20 that's all the rice and meat you get. Literally like 3 teaspoons of rice. If your a steak guy please consider other options. They really don't need such a huge plate for such small amounts of food. Service was excellent. read more

Great place for fantastic Mexican food and drink, Jesse at the bar is very friendly and helpful with your ordering needs. Food was hot. And Dos XXwas cold. Nice stop on the way to the cape read more

We used to love this place then we started getting this one particular waiter and it was all downhill from there. He is smug, rude and once he takes your order, you won't see him again for another hour. Completely changed how me and my family feel about this place. He was our waiter three times in a row. After that, we were done. read more

I want to love this place, but so far I can't. Tonight we ordered through Doordash. I ordered chicken mole (this place does very good mole, that's why we chose El Mariachi), my wife ordered a combo plate. We called to clarify some parts of the combo plate because of some Doordash interface issues. No mole arrived, instead I was delivered some chicken with vegetables, very nice, but not what I ordered at all. The combi plate was mostly correct, but some special requests which were agreed to by phone were not followed. I called the restaurant to explain the mole issue. The employee was nice, empathetic, but offered no solution other than suggesting I call the restaurant to make sure the order is correctly understood by the kitchen. This seems a bit ridiculous, I ordered mole online, why would a phone call make that more clear? And we did call about the other item. If El Mariachi is reading this, please please try to do better. Your restaurant is the best Mexican food for miles around, but you have to at least give a customer what was ordered, and do something to make it right if you fail to do so. read more

I give five stars because I cannot give anything higher! El Mariachi---LOVE IT!! The staff is the best ALL the way around: there to greet you when you come in, chips and salsa after you sit down, waitstaff, bar service---cannot say enough good things! Now to the products: Drinks: ALWAYS TOP NOTCH!! Food: YOU NAIL IT EVERY SINGLE TIME!!!!! My goto for drink: Mexican Coffee My goto for food: Pollo Mole Sorry if I have the rosy glasses on but I just happen like everything about the place! read more

Fun atmosphere, terrific staff, delicious guacamole, and refreshing margaritas. What more could you ask for?

Food, service and appearance was great with really good prices. The rib eye was outstanding

I normally love mariachi, but we picked up food tonight and it just did not live up to my expectations. I tried the fiesta sampler, not worth the money. It's 4 mini taquitos 2 (2 cut in half) 4 fries wings, nachos and a quesadilla. The chicken wings were your standard deep fried wings not bad at all but nothing special, nachos seem like an afterthought four or five nachos with a little cheese on them most of the cheese had fallen off and solidified in the container a tiny bit of beans just not as advertised definitely not enough to share, the mini quesadilla was just that some cheese inside of a tiny flour tortilla no embellishments. All this was served with about 2 teaspoons of guacamole that was already oxidizing a tiny bit of pico and of course a cup of sour cream that no one will use. El mariachi used to present their food well and be generous, but that is no longer the case. I also ordered a shrimp quesadilla that was soggy and haphazardly placed in the container. My husband ordered the chicken fajitas with that he also received 2 teaspoons of guacamole and a scant amount of shredded cheese with way too much sour cream. They gave him two corn tortillas to eat with the entire plate of fajitas that seemed to be stuck together, not acceptable. This is not the quality we have come to know and expect from El mariachi. read more

Consistent food, and good drinks if you dine in. We order a lot of take out since covid. With our most recent experience, we asked for ground beef, no beans, no sour cream for one of the burritos (the only "edited" meal of the order, if you will). This burrito ended up coming with shredded chicken, beans, and sour cream. No big deal though- we called to ask for a new burrito or refund for this menu item and the man on the phone immediately apologized and had the correct food ready within ten minutes. They even threw a free dessert in the bag as an apology, which they 1000% did not need to do. I will continue giving El Mariachi my business due to their continued effort toward amazing customer service (and their strawberry margarita on the rocks with sugared rim) read more
