    Taco salad
    Dr Keebler ..

    Server No idea his name. He was punctual when called for and did refill drinks timely. Ambiance It's an Arkansas version of tex-mex. They've remodeled and the new ascetics are nice. Food The chips and salsa were disappointing. Chips should be served warm; smell and taste fresh. These did neither. The salsa tastes canned, not fresh. The fajita burrito was served with very salty and watered down queso. While the fajita chicken was good. It was not the best. The chicken was stringy which is not traditional for white meat. The beef taco salad was served in a much smaller bowl, but it was served full. She said it was not very good. It was lacking the traditional refried beans. Overall First, It's been a very long time since we've been here. I DO NOT like their new pricing structure. I usually order (at most Mexican restaurants) just fajita chicken meat (no veggies, rice, beans, or tortillas). Of all the restaurants we frequent; this place charges the most. 5.99 for a small portion and 10.99 for a large. Compared to just about every other Mexican restaurant 8.99 for a large portion. So, this is the last time we will be back here. Add to that. They charge to use your credit card. Other tables that got here and ordered after us, already had their food. This place has really degraded over the years. Military

    While working in Fort Smith, a local told me about this place having some of the most authentic "Mexican" food around. After being in the road for so long, the thought of food with substance sounded way better than the usual fast food options. I breezed on over during lunch and picked up a few street tacos. The street taco special let's you pick 5 from steak, chicken, carnitas, or chorizo. Each one comes covered in onions and cilantro, no matter which protein you picked. I wasn't disappointed. Everything seemed fresh and had good flavor. My only complaint was choosing to eat 5 of the same kind of taco. I should have split my order with something else. That's my fault, not theirs. The service was fast and very attentive. A little hard to understand, but that goes along with being authentic. The inside was clean and well maintained. Never made it to the bathroom, but judging by the cleanliness of the dining area, it was probably pretty clean. I'd definitely snag a few more street tacos if I'm passing through again.

Upon moving to Arkansas, I've been on the search for a solid authentic Mexican restaurant to dine at. Tonight, my search ended. El Mariachi is absolutely amazing! Located on the south west side of Fort Smith, you get a combination of awesome tasting food, delicious drinks, a choice of different heat level salsas, and all at very reasonable prices. The staff is friendly and accommodating. I had the street taco plate, with al pastor and carnitas meats with a side of refried beans and Mexican rice - which is all made fresh daily in house. I also tend to judge a Mexican restaurant very hard on the quality of their salsa. The regular salsa is tasty, if you ask for their tomatillo salsa, it is hotter and flavorful with a hint of chipotle pepper in the background, and for those brave enough to try it, the Diablo salsa has just the right amount of heat if eaten in small amounts. I also had a top shelf margarita, which for the price point they have it at was perfectly made and enjoyed. In the end, I had to try their flan. I will state, this is probably some of, if not The best flan I've ever eaten. If you are looking for delicious, authentic Mexican food in a comfortable restaurant setting, look no further and give them a try; you won't regret it!

When I inquired about where we…read morecould get dinner somewhere close to the hotel and not a chain restaurant this place was recommended. We decided to try it and we're not disappointed. The staff was extremely friendly, all were fully masked. The tables inside for socially distance and everything was very well cleaned. My husband had the pork chili rellenos. He has had this dish in other places but nothing compares to this version. It was heavenly. The flavors were delicious. It was served with rice that was delicious and flavorful and a small bowl of beans that had some pork in it as well. He couldn't have been more pleased with the selection. I had the steak fajitas which were a large serving, and also delicious. They were served with the same wonderful rice, refried beans, and homemade flour tortillas. It was an amazing dish it also had some pico to Gallo, and fresh guacamole that was out of this world. I wish we lived closer because this would be a regular stop.

Everything was either oversalted or had no taste at all. The guacamole was almost too salty to eat. The chips and salsa tasted like canned, crushed tomatoes. The food was cooked well, attractively served, looked appetizing, hot, it met all of the requirements except taste. I really dislike negative comments and remember, this is our opinion, but we were not impressed by the food.
