By far my favorite Mexican restaurant in CT. We have been going here for years and are never disappointed! I always go for the spicy pork tacos which are amazing and enchiladas mayas. This time I tried the ranchero quesadilla and wow! Their drinks are so delicious too. My go to is the natural cucumber margarita. Not too sweet, not too strong. Perfect! An absolute must try! The owner and staff are the best. Highly recommend Los Mariachis. read more

Has become our go-to for Mexican takeout- we probably order from here once a month. Chicken nachos supreme is our go-to, a hearty plate of nachos enough to feed a crowd with lots of toppings. Other favorites include tostadas, the breaded chicken torta,chimichanga, and enchiladas. read more

They ran out of chicken soup. I ordered a quesadilla and it wasn't even cut. , it was a chicken fajita but only had chicken and green peppers. My boyfriend is chimichanga obsessed and asked for only a little bit of peppers because he didn't like them too much and he had a chimichanga of literally a tiny bit of chicken and a ton of green peppers (photo attached). His chimichanga was like 16 dolllars, what the heck. Also the place isn't much to look at and the ambiance is blah read more

Food was great! The service was wonderful. They checked in often to be sure we were satisfied.

Good and authentic Mexican joint. Not too greasy, not to salty yet often made with care. Beef tacos are to die for! read more

By far the best stuffed jalapeños I've tasted! There service is good! Depending on night can be too noisy but not unbearable. Would recommend this place! read more

I've had a handful of Mexican food near the Quinnipiac and this sit down restaurant is one of the best. Authentic Mexican food. I usually rate the restaurant by the Mexican rice and this was 100%. I had the enchiladas Suizas. Good flavor. A variety of drinks available. The Margarita was a hit with me. On the small side but it was potent & they're not stingy on the alcohol. Definitely will be returning ! read more

if you are vegetarian please ask a lot of questions. They have a veggie burrito on the menu but the rice and the beans both have lard in it and they don't tell you that unless you ask. read more

If you're in a hurry ..... Don't come here. Service was slow, the margarita came after the food was served .... The pomegranate margarita .... Tasted like cough syrup. I would just avoid that flavor. The quesadilla was tasty and I ordered somethings to go that my son enjoyed. There wasn't many people dining, maybe its just the covid short staffed issue .... I'll return when CT opens back up. read more

Los Mariachis - Rancero quesadilla - Mexican Near Me - Wallingford, Connecticut

We arrived on a Thursday at approximately 6PM and made our way directly to the small bar where we were provided both the regular and happy hour menus. We each chose a coconut margarita which tasted similar to a pina colada - so good and only $5. Also provided were flavorless tortilla chips and two salsas, tomato and cilantro. The latter sauce was delicious while the former provided heat with little flavor. After finishing our drinks, we adjoined to the dining room and were soon provided menus and the same chips and salsas. My wife opted for the enchiladas Mayas with chicken which were bathed in a house made sour cream sauce. The meat managed to be both dry and flavorless. I fared no better with my carnitas which were fatty, overcooked and under seasoned even though I dredged each eatable morsel through the guacamole. Our accompanying rice and beans were standard fare, but decidedly better than the entrees. Our server was initially prompt with menus and taking our orders, but went MIA after delivering the meals. No water refills, no checking on how we were enjoying meals. Overall our experience proved to be less than acceptable thereby providing us with little incentive for a return visit. Note: there are often discounted gift certificates available through Groupon, LivingSocial and similar websites. read more

My wife and I have dined here many times and the overall experience was very good every time. We stopped again last night and had margaritas and Combination Burritos. The service was very good, the food was great and the Los Amigos margaritas were superb. We will continue to dine here. read more

Los mariachis has been my go to restaurant for whenever I want Mexican food. They have consistently through the 7 years I've been going there had the best food and drinks out of any other Mexican restaurant I've been to in CT. They have some of the nicest staff. Literally everyone in there is so nice every visit. Their margaritas are strong so just be prepared for that but why have various flavors that are all delicious. I've tried a lot of their food but one of my favorites are their wings and their fajitas. I came in for national margarita day and had a melon ball margarita , anejo tequila shot and their steak and shrimp fajitas. Everything was delectable. The steak and shrimp were perfectly cooked. If you ever order a fajita just know it comes with a lot of toppings for you to put everything into a corn/flour tortilla. I added a side of rice and beans because that is also one of my favorite things on their menu. At the end of your meal they will give you a dessert pistachio shot if you ask for it on the house. The vibes in there are always up beat and super positive. It's one of my go to places when i'm home. read more

Some foods package better to-go than others. That's an unavoidable fact I took into consideration when writing this review. First: nachos supreme with spicy pork. Literally globs if the toppings dumped on a pile of chips. No layers and the various toppings weren't spread around. An obnoxious amount of jalapeños were thrown on top when I asked for none to be on the food. Queso dip: literally melted velveta/nacho cheese. Nothing else. The queso wasn't packaged in a separate bowl. It was Poured into one of the corner compartments of a styrofoam to-go box. By the time I got it home 90% of the cheese was in the chips area. The chips were covered in a handful of jalapeño slices which again I had requested not be on my food. Shrimp fajitas: overcooked, unseasoned shrimp mixed in with unseasoned peppers and onions Chicken Chimichanga: not deep fried. read more

Fantastic night out for my wife's 50th birthday. The food was fantastic and the service was great. They treated the family(all over 21) to free shots from the bar and dessert for my wife. Both me and one of my sons had the combination supreme. I had the pork and steak and it came out perfect. My wife had the shrimp guacamole salad and it was brimming with fresh grilled shrimp pieces and huge, served in a crispy flour tortilla bowl. My other son had the shrimp tacos and they were just the right size portion for him. To add to that we drank 2 pitchers of pomegranate margaritas and those were extremely refreshing. We sat outside for the evening and aside from a little road noise it was an extremely enjoyable night. read more

This place is good! We came for dinner and had a really really good meal. Great Mexican beers available, nice wine selection and the food is very very good. This is a small establishment, but don't let that fool you. The chips and salsa they give you were really good! Had some nice heat to it. I went with the fajitas and they were awesome. They must have sizzled for a good 5 minutes after being put on the table. And a generous portion too. I had plenty left over to take home. Same goes for my wife's salad. Well, here's wasn't sizzling and that's a good thing. Highly recommend coming here for some very good authentic Mexican food along with friendly service. We will be returning! read more

Small, yet clean & delicious, with good service. Probably closer to 3.5 stars. My husband had the vegetarian quesadilla and it was done to perfection, not sloppy or soggy, really perfect, and he asked for the sour cream & guacamole on the side and they did it. I had the chicken flauta dinner with rice and refried beans and it was tasty and I would definitely order it again. Chips are complimentary with a very spicy red salsa and a green tomato mild salsa. I had a raspberry margarita which was very good yet strong. They have a nice little outside table area for spring/summer that we will have to come back to try, and a bar area separate from the tables. There was a paper with seasonal drinks and meal specials. Our server was just the right attentive, and we didn't have a wait to be seated on a Sunday afternoon for lunch, I used a Groupon for 1/2 off. read more

I went here and had a late dinner right? And I got the enchiladas mole. I mean I honestly love enchiladas and you can get tacos and burritos anywhere, and if a mole sauce isn't made right I'm not coming back because mole is something a Mexican restaurant should know how to make. Anyway, when the food came I saved the enchiladas for last, mainly because I started with the rice and I eat one thing at a time (yes I'm one of those people) and once I got to the enchiladas I started with the steak and the mole sauce was a true blue mole sauce. It was the color a mole sauce should be you know a dark brown almost black color, and like a mole I also had some heat from a poblano pepper. I would recommend this dish. read more

Fresh food, margaritas strong. Atmosphere left a bit to be desired. A bit costly for the amount of food. read more

Great Happy Hour prices and options! I got a Melonball margarita and it was very strong but no melon in sight. I also wish their queso was the more traditional and authentic Mexican queso I've had. This one tasted like it came out of a can. The taco salad I had was sooooo good though, which saved the day. read more

All this talk about "authentic" Mexican food falls flat. People really do not have a good reference. My suggestion to them is to head to Mexico, or if you don't want to cross international borders, then California or Texas. With that being said, the food isn't bad per say, just not anywhere close to authentic like people have been claiming. The price is good for the amount of food, and despite semi-run down exterior, the interior was clean and bright This place has a large selection of drinks and tequila to try, just don't do it all at once of course.. Heed my warning, the bartenders are a bit inconsistent. For example, ordered 2 bahama mamma's at the same time and one was spot on while the other was incredibly strong. Service was quick to serve, but slow to get the check. Food = 3 Ambiance = 4 Service = 3 read more

I went here with a girl friend of mine on a spontaneous Thursday evening out. The food was great! We got steak empenadas, tostados, and the chipotle chicken quesadilla. All of it was amazing especially the empenadas! The margaritas were tasty and weren't just obnoxiously filled with marg mix with no tequila. For a Thursday night it was fairly busy but not enough that there was a wait. Great for nights out or a family dinner! read more

As good as it gets for authentic Mexican food, generous portions, lots of free chips and salsa, the best Margaritas by far......friendly attentive nice atmosphere.....outdoor side deck I assure you You'll have a good time and will be back......I've been going there since they opened, never disappointed Enjoy!

Los Mariachis is authentic Mexican restaurant serving up some really good food. The atmosphere is pretty cool and fun...they have a live mariachi band. They have a nice selection of Tequilas and Mezcals. It's a strong #3 behind Rivas Taqueria and Tacos Mi Nacho, which in my opinion has the best Mexican food in the Meriden-Wallingford area. I love this place. Definitely check it out! read more

On the outside of the restaurant it seemed like a great, authentic Mexican restaurant with good food and drinks. However while inside my party had to wait for someone to be available to seat us as there was no hostess. But lets get to the nitty gritty-food. We ordered the steak quesadilla, fajitas and a burrito along with margaritas, all of which classic dishes. The margaritas were all juice and sugar, no alcohol whatsoever. The food was okay, nothing great. read more

we were helped by the bartender, David and he was very nice. My boyfriend and I only stopped by for a drink and he was patient and explained which drink was better for my preference. I ordered the toasted almond, very different but it was good. I also ordered the flan and it was pretty good. It had just enough sweetness and was not drowning in the sauce. Although I didn't eat a meal, the ones I did see come out looked pretty good. Lastly, the service was very efficient from what I observed. The moment a drink ticket came through, the bartender made the drink without skipping a beat and it was just him. read more

I go to Los at least once a week an am never disappointed. The house sangria is delicious and always consistent. The amount of food for the price is definitely worth it too. read more

Meh..... nothing to write home about. Food was decent though. Core complaints are: 1. They only gave 3 tortillas for a fajita dish. 2. It costs $13 for fajitas, but it's an extra $3 for rice and beans. 3. Our waitress gave us dirty looks every time we ordered one beer along with two margarita's. Honey, you should have been happy we were ordering more drinks! Brings that check average up. So service wasn't exactly warm and inviting :( 4. They had a guy playing guitar who was very talented, but also very loud! Turn down the volume! Otherwise it is not very relaxing at the decibels it was at. On the positive side, Burrito was ginormous! Salsa's they bring with chips were delicious! One spicy red, one salsa Verde. Don't think I will come running back, but good to know it's a decent Mexican option. read more

Hmmmmm HELLO??? Why did it take me SO long to go here? This little place is amazing. My mother and I went for lunch and grabbed the lunch special. You can pick from 5 or so entrees, you get a drink and the chips and salsa all for $5.99! Nevermind that, the chips and salsa were so good and the green dip was great...but watch out for the red sauce WOW it is spicy!! I enjoyed the 3 hard tacos, my mother ordered the soft tacos. They were delicious and amazingly fresh. I loved the music and ambiance of this place also. I would love to come back and try dinner at this quaint little joint ;) I hope to do another review once I go for dinner. Forget "Plaza Azteca" BASURA (garbage) when you can get REAL and authentic Mexican food that is fresh and delightful. Oh and btw, I also ordered one margarita and we split Flan, and our bill was only $24.00!! SCORE! read more

Great authentic! Bingo was super fun and entertaining! They're open late and serve good quality drinks. Not watered down.

My second visit here was for happy hour. I ordered the mole enchilada and coconut margarita-I might have had one too many :) The food was yummy and the drinks were made perfectly. The only negative comment I can say is that the first drink came out with green sugar around the rim that was bleeding everywhere. It wasn't that serious of an issue but it was kind of annoying with my fingers being all sticky and green. Then again I probably shouldn't have eaten outside in the humidity. read more

I have been going to this restaurant for at least ten years. Used to be a Kentucky Fried Chicken. I usually order the burrito supreme. It is huge!!! It lasts me for two meals. Prices are very fair. Sangria is excellent. I like the fact that it is not a chain. Small, friendly atmosphere. At times (at least before COVID) there was live Mexican singers for entertainment. I would recommend this restaurant highly. I give this restaurant a rating of 5. read more
