El Mariachi's has been a staple Mexican restaurant in my life since I was a kid. Now as an adult it's still one of my favorites. Wednesday they had $5 off pitchers of margaritas - highly recommend the blue marg! Plus you can never go wrong with any of their fajitas! It's the perfect place for family night, date night, or girl's night! read more

Typical midwest Tex Mex. Ask for sauce as its a touch bland for the Midwest palette but not too bad. read more

El Maricahi Mexican Restaurant - Tacos de barrio - Mexican Near Me - Harrison, Ohio

The place was similar to your typical midwest mexican places. The decor is a standout, adding to the ambiance significantly. The servers were quick and good, and the food was quick to get out of the kitchen. The food itself wasn't the best i'd ever had, the queso seemed to be missing salt. But it was overall a good place. If I find myself in the area again, I may consider returning. read more

This was a stop over traveling through on the interstate. What a great great Mexican restaurant. Wish I were local. The decor was fantastic, service was great, and the food was equally as good. The place was very clean, well located, and seem to be run very well. read more

El Maricahi Mexican Restaurant - Lunch special number one. Chili relleno, guacamole salad, substitute bean taco. - Mexican Near Me - Harrison, Ohio

I've been here a handful of times over the past few years. Most recently I went this past weekend. We got a large order of queso, to have with our chips and salsa. It is definitely a generous portion and was more than enough for the two of us! I ordered the shrimp tacos for my entree. They were filling and had good flavor. The side of rice was kinda bland. Service overall was good. We went around 1pm on Sunday, so it wasn't very crowded. It did take a while to pay the check because our waiter disappeared for a bit, but we weren't in a hurry to leave, so it worked out. read more

El Maricahi Mexican Restaurant - Shrimp Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Harrison, Ohio

Great food, good chips, and really good margaritas, fresh salsa too! Typical Mexican restaurant decor, clean and friendly!

We had dinner here before seeing a comedy show nearby. While the service was fine - we found the food to be fairly bland. The standard Chips & Salsa were brought out after we were seated. It was pretty good. The chips & salsa tasted fresh and the salsa had a nice little kick to it. My husband and his friend both ordered a beer, I ordered a bourbon. For our entrees - I ordered the Shrimp Tacos, my husband ordered the Camarones Diabla and his friend ordered the Burrito Lover. All of us had shrimp in our dishes and found that the shrimp were large and cooked perfectly. But everything just lacked flavor. And my husband's dish should've been quite spicy and it had barely any heat to it. My shrimp tacos were ok but fairly flavorless. Overall - the service was fine and the food was just ok. I wouldn't seek this place out if I was in the area. read more

Went on Sunday afternoon expecting the place to be busy (every other place in Harrison was) but there were only a few cars in the parking lot. Sat at the bar and had to have someone go find the bartender. Service was lacking, food was lacking and the area behind the bar looked like an unorganized mess. This was the reason they were empty on a Sunday afternoon with the games on. Too many Mexican restaurants in town to go back to this one. read more

It's definitely not authentic!! And honestly not worth the price. The waiter was a dick. More like a chain restaurant but def not authentic Mexican food at all! read more

El Maricahi Mexican Restaurant - Steak fajita, small $19.99 p/t & spicy 4 meat fajita $21.99... not worth the $$ - Mexican Near Me - Harrison, Ohio

First time here. Stopped in on a whim for lunch. I'm so glad that we did. Found the food to be quite flavorful and certainly filling. Service was prompt, friendly, and accurate. The decor is inviting and energetic. The music was nice and certainly not at a level that would prevent table conversations. I can certainly recommend this restaurant. I will be coming back. read more

As someone from California, I'm a pretty tough critic when it comes to Mexican food. However, all things considered, El Mariachi is pretty good. Obviously, it's not authentic or anything like that, but it tastes good, the service is good, and the decor is cute. I wouldn't be a regular here, but I'd come back again. read more

The food is always exactly what you ask for (even special orders) and delicious, along with plentiful portions. The service is friendly and quick. Patio seating is great when the weather permits. Our family has been dining at this location for 20+ years because of the great food and awesome service. read more

Decent Mexican food and a nice atmosphere. I would recommend the tacos and a light beer to wash it down with.

Always had a pleasant experience when we eat here. Even when they busy they make sure all their customers are well taken care of.

Food is usually good fresh and hot. However the service is very slow. And when you go early before dinner be prepared to wait even though you maybe the only table in there. read more

Great service, food and margaritas Good customer service. Don't usually have to wait long to get in. read more

We go here weekly! It's clean, food is so good, and quick service. We love the cheese dip! Nice outdoor patio.

Boy as soon as you walk in friendly staff is there to greet you. This small Resturant is so cute on the inside. The decor and seating layout is very thoughtful for a private dining experience. In the summer they have a lot of out door seating as well. Today I tried the pomegranate Margarita on special. Welp, it was different and good but I still love my favorite lime Margarita. And I might add it was very tasty, a little heavy on the sweet side. The food was delicious and the portions were large. I'm thankful for my waiters tip. I usually order the Chicken Chimichanga, but he recommended the deluxe. It has chicken, shrimp and more. Its my new favorite! For a pleasant evening and delicious food in large portions I highly recommend El Mariachi. read more

I had the Quesadilla Brisket and a house margarita. The quesadilla was great! The brisket was tender and juicy. The margarita was a standard house margarita. The restaurant is nice and clean. The service was quick. Will definitely be coming back! Edit: when we got the check, there's an additional surcharge for paying credit. This is not tax... the bill is pretty high for 2 with it. read more

Our Sunday afternoon spot for after church. Yummy food and the owners are great people

On the west side of Cincy for business, so not familiar with any restaurants, and I love Mexican cuisine. This place did not disappoint! The margaritas were made perfectly. The waiter was so nice and friendly. They accommodated my food preferences and made me some delicious veggie soft corn tacos, with the help from our waiter. I'd drive 45 min to go back just because of the customer service! read more

It's always a good time at El Mariachi! The staff and service is friendly and nothing short of amazing. The restaurant is following safety protocols when it comes to mask wearing and sanitizing. First thing is first, I can't get enough of the chips and salsa that is immediately brought over to me upon sitting down at my table. Wow they are good - especially when the spiciness of the salsa is curbed with a big sip of margarita! The margaritas are great at El Mariachis and are a must have but are quite overpriced. I'm not sure if they have drink deals during the week but they didn't when I went on a Saturday. The menu is overwhelmingly large but I settled on a classic steak fajita dish and was not disappointed! The steak was tender and the tortillas were deliciously fresh. This is definitely big enough for two people to split if you order an extra set of tortillas. If you are not in the mood to split, they make GREAT leftovers! Overall, I had a great experience and do think I will be back in the future when visiting Harrison, OH again! read more

Good fajitas, strong margaritas, only thing that confuses me is the salsa, it tastes like marinara to me. But I just ask for the house hot sauce and mix it together and bam, it's one on my favorites. read more

Expensive and the food is disgusting. Watered down margaritas and flavor all around. I wouldn't go back if I was comped an entire meal for two. Eat at your own risk. read more

Mariachi had a great atmosphere and food. The restaurant looked like it had been recently updated and was nice and clean. The margaritas were great and everyone as the table was very pleased with their meals. We will be back when we are in Harrison. read more

this is my favorite Mexican restaurant of all time! they have great happy hour specials - the best in town. My friends and I love to come after work to grab a discounted margarita and some of the best quest. service is always the best and I've never had a bad experience. I come here enough where the servers have remembered my happy hour order and it makes me feel special. I recommend anyone to come to "Els" for happy hour or for a great authentic Mexican meal. read more

My wife and I have been to this restaurant several times over the years and we knew the food would be good. However this time we had to get up and leave. Hostess seated us with menus and the lady brought over the usual chips and salsa. We waited about five minutes before our waiter came over and took our drink order of two waters. He said he'd be back with our waters and would take our food order. So we're eating the chips and salsa for over ten minutes and never did see our waiter again. So as stated earlier we got up and left the restaurant. Also on the door is a sign that states they are charging 2.5% for credit card purchases. One more reason not to eat here anymore. read more

I simply love El Mariachis, the atmosphere is casual, the staff takes good care of you, the portions are huge so you'll be taking some home. They start you off with the best salsa and warm chips of just about anywhere, they're addicting. There is a ton of Mexican food to choose from and the burrito loco is absolutely delicious, it's huge and well cooked. The steak fajitas are really really good with a ton of flavor, and there is a lot. Usually take home a bunch. The kids menu needs a bit of tweaking but it satisfies my kids every time. Great Mexican restaurant. read more

Love El Mariachi! I've been going regularly after church every week and they always have great service and awesome food! Prices have gotten higher as of late but that is understandable in the current state of inflation. read more

Traditional Mexican restaurant. The decor is nice. The menu is a bit pricey for some things. Unfortunately the pipe we were sitting under (as part of the decor of the restaurant) kept dripping on us. I think it was probably condensation from the AC. Fix this issue and there's potential to earn more stars. read more

El Maricahi Mexican Restaurant - Fajita Chimichanga - Mexican Near Me - Harrison, Ohio

I've been going to this place since I was a kid. The service is good and the place is maintained pretty well. I got the chicken chimichangas this time. The food was good - hot and fresh tasting, plus a really big portion. The only issue I had was with the chips and salsa. The chips needed a lot of salt and the salsa tasted like it came out of a jar from Kroger. Still a good place and I'll go here again! read more

El Maricahi Mexican Restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Harrison, Ohio

Out of the chain Mexican restaurants, El Mariachi is one of my favorites. They have a large variety of Mexican on the menu and the food is always good. Authentic? No, but good for Ohio Mexican ;) The salsa varies - can be spicy at times. (I like those times) I like the bits of onion and cilantro. This time I had the seafood chimichanga - could have used more seafood but had good crunch and texture. Load it up with guacamole and chalula = good eats! Service can be spotty at times but we've lucked out our past 2 times. Also - there are typically coupons and specials going on. Plus, yummy margaritas! read more

Surprisingly good food, a festive atmosphere and prompt service. It was early Saturday night and we were pleasantly surprised by the service. I really enjoyed the margaritas and tacos Carne asade. My wife ordered chicken and the kitchen did a nice job with her special order. I would recommend stopping here if you like Mexican. It's close enough to 74 and there is a large menu with generous portions. read more

My favorite place for Mexican food, great food and drinks prices are in line with other one's.

Zero stars if I could. Super rude server had a chip on his shoulder the entire visit. The food had NO flavor at all. Taco salad consisted of watery refried beans, shredded plain boiled chicken. I had to douse it with Cholula to get any flavor on it. Very light sprinkle of cheese and tiny spoon of guac. I can imagine only the most gringo gringos like this place read more

My go to Mexican restaurant in Harrison! Try the authentic guac and then get the burrito lover for your meal. You won't be disappointed if you like quality and quantity. I like to add fresh jalapeños and get no beans (not a big fan of them on a burrito). Margs are also very good! read more
