I just wanted a little taco before dinner. Always seen this place and finally decided to give a go. I was not disappointed at all. I got one (yes, just one) al pastor taco with everything on it. It was pretty good and better than some other places that are way more popping. read more

When you purchase from this restaurant you never know what you're going to get. Usually very happy especially with the refried beans. Purchased refried beans today for lunch tasted very strange after my first bite had another bite but not anymore I hope I don't get sick. The taste really weird. Crispy tacos are good the soft tacos were just full of grease. Some days the refried beans are for that fantastic. And others so salty you can't eat. Just know that when you're buying you never know what you're going to get. I hope I don't get sick from the beans. read more

Small spot, not very exciting when you walk in. But be patient! The food is very good, I usually order the regular carnitas burrito, with green salsa! And I love it! It's sooo good and the salsa really hits the spot. Definitely recommend trying it out! I've been happy with my order every time ! read more

Don't go to this place. It has the worst customer service ever. You'll literally spend money there and all they'll do is treat too bad. I would go to anywhere else but this place that's full of cockroaches and dirty. Do not go to this place or you will be sick because there's cockroaches in the bathroom. read more

Good food good prices nice and clean nice guy at the counter served food fast and friendly

The owners daughter Nancy was not only very rude but didn't try to accommodate us. Our surgery center always orders from them. We all got tortilla soup. It's usually to our liking this time it was extremely thick and had no consomé, or juice. Instead of a soup it looked like a mole. She said she can have her dad call Me back and if I doent like it I don't need to go back. Very rude and unprofessional!! I asked her if we can get a credit and she refused. Their customer service is horrible. I'm honestly very disappointed and I hope The owner can rectify how they conduct business and how they treat their customers. read more

Let's talk about my order. I ordered 2 quesabirria's. The tortilla was perfect. One tortilla and crispy on the outside. The amount of meat in the inside was okay. It could have used more. They also added the cilantro and onion on the inside. It was tasty. The consomé, was delicious. Just the right Amish t of flavor. The service was good. I was attended right away. Even though I didn't see a quesabirria plate they young man at the register knew exactly what I wanted. The restaurant itself is very Mexican. Colorful tables, walls and Mexican decor. The tables all needed to be wiped down and the bathroom didn't have enough soap to wash my hands properly. It needed to be cleaner as well. Over all I would recommend this place for the "tacos de birria" also known as quesabirria's. I would say for the price, there should definitely be more meat in the tacos. read more

Best Mexican food around this area. The bean dip is my favorite because they have the best mole I have ever had! Tortilla soup has great flavor, tamales are great and the crispy tacos no matter what kind of meat are excellent!! The ladies are so nice that work in there and are very accommodating to substitutions. Very small inside but never too busy to get a seat. read more

The workers are so nice. I was lost and I had no phone and I asked the lady up front she helped dial the number and let me use their phone. So grateful and I hope to try their food next time I'm in the area. read more

My wife and I used to frequent this place almost weekly... the last month their prices have skyrocketed near 1.5x more... Wife went in there, picked up our order and did a double take at the bill and asked if the price was correct, in disbelief... they checked and said "yes". The food is pretty good, but at the current pricing, no longer worth it. Sad to see it head this direction. read more

First time at this place during the middle of the day. Mariachi is a friendly place with good service. The inside is clean but no salsa bar so to-go order it is! The food is solid. The carnitas plate was a good portion and comes with an option of soft or hard tortilla. The carnitas itself had a good crispy exterior with a moist interior. Also got a shrimp burrito, this was a bit of a surprise because it was fairly spicy - wasn't expecting this and didn't ask for it to be spicy - still good overall. The pastor tacos also delicious. The side chips were fresh and crispy. Price wise, this place was on the higher side, but then again with inflation these days everything is creeping up. read more

Relocated to Walnut Creek Ca. In Visalia and Modesto it was easy to find good Mexican food but here in the Tri Valley East Bay the Mexican food is kinda bland and boring at most places. I saw this restaurant while driving home so I stopped and Ordered a 2 Choice Shredded Chicken Enchilada plate, 2 Asada Tacos, Large drink and 5(yea yea) Helados Ice Cream bars. It was To Go so Got home and when I opened the box I was happily surprised at the smell and presentation. How did it taste though right? AMAZING, The kind of food that makes you happy after you eat, I loved it so much I had the same thing for dinner the next day!! Large portions and very inexpensive for that quality of food. Beans and Rice were also winners!! I don't really wanna share so I can hog this place to myself but I would love for their business to succeed. Try it out, you might see me there!!!! read more

I ordered 4 tacos: asada, chicken, carnitas and Al pastor . The Al pastor was bland, everything else was decent. The alpastor tasted like a failed version of adobada. The place lacks a bit of authenticity as they serve taco salad and taco shells, lol Taco Bell who? The staff were mentioning " translated from Spanish [no one gives us donations] " . Well some culture to learn tips are good token of appreciation not an entitlement. season the Al pastor and maybe we'll donate. Tacos were acceptable but one but I would not prioritize coming here . read more

Mariachi Mexican Grill - Soft Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

Tried mariachi grill first time today. Hubbie had the shrimp taco salad and loved it. My shredded chix super burrito was also excellent. One thing I appreciated was the food was not overly salty which is hard to find in a burrito. Food was cooked to order and all was very fresh. Definitely will go back. read more

Visiting my daughter and first time here. We ordered to go, the super burrito with grilled chicken and 2 soft shell veggie taco's. The wait was very short . We were offered salsa and given chips. We were so hungry I forgot to take pics. Trust me it was delicious. The super burrito was huge and the tacos were large. The service was great. The only issue I have is I was charged a .10 paper bag fee to place my food in. I didn't ask about it, but never paid for the bag at a food establishment. I order food yesterday from an eatery on the same lot and didn't pay for the bag . Overall, 4/5 stars due to that bag fee. read more

I ordered a super burrito al pastor. The pastor was flavorless, not at all spicy. The Ingredients weren't even distinguishable. They did not seem fresh. Nothing about the burrito gave me the "wow-factor". For a $14 burrito, I need at least something. I'll be going elsewhere next time. read more

Honestly the best Carnitas Burrito South of Monument Blvd. The carnitas is nice and crispy, full of flavor, but the best part is that their rice is absolutely delicious! Too many spots these days fill their burritos with bland rice and beans that lowers the quality of the meats. But this place is on point! 10/10 Would Recommend! read more

Tastes good but so hit or miss. Today, my vegetarian burrito came with no lettuce, no cheese, no sour cream although listed on menu. Basically rice and beans and a sprinkle of guacamole. And our regular burrito was half the size of the other burritos. So weird. read more

I was coming back from Sacramento, and was hungry for Mexican food , and found this place in a strip mall in Walnut Creek. Food was ok, not great but not bad either. My concern was there were too many bugs in the establishment Flying and crawling kind. I found something in my chicken burrito that was some kind of insect. Overall, it was ok, but won't go back. Sanitation was a concern. read more

I usually walk the Heather Farms Trail that runs perpendicular to the Bancroft/Treat shopping center and noticed Mariachi Mexican Grill. A friend and I usually eat at one of the establishments over on Monument Blvd but decide to give this place a try. I'm a carnitas guy but enjoy a good al pastor taco. I decided to go for a carnitas crunchy taco, two al pastor soft tacos and a Diet Coke for the carbonation that goes well with all things fried. My buddy went for a carnitas burrito. The food came with a side of chips too. I'm a salt guy so anything salty tastes good to me but not necessarily over salted. I liked the carnitas in the crunchy taco but sadly the taco shell tasted like a store bought shell that needs to be heated. Unfortunately the taco shell was stone cold so it wasn't quite crunchy but had that slight crunch, slight chewy texture. The al pastor tacos came on two street taco size tortillas that were grilled which added a nice touch. I'm not sure if the salsa over powered the al pastor or if the seasoning on the al pastor was very mild. I really couldn't taste the al pastor but the food in general wasn't bad. The chips unfortunately like the taco shell, were not warm so they weren't really crunchy. My buddy said his burrito was okay. The carnitas were a bit salty for him so I'm not sure if the carnitas I got was from the same batch or if my salt tolerance is higher. He mentioned that the ratio of meat to the other ingredients was a bit light. I'll give the place a try again and see if I find something that stands out. The prices are reasonable, $2.10 a taco crunchy or soft. The workers are pleasant, not overly friendly but they do serve your food to your table. read more

I've gone here a few times, and I noticed that the flavor is just not consistent. It's decent, but I've had better. They must work on customer service or hire one or two more people. It's just a bit slow. I waited an extra 20 minutes for my order, which was already done. I was never notified, and for the restaurant to be empty with only two customers, they should be on top of it. When I asked for my order I was told "oh sorry". Come on. read more

Total rip off. I bought 2 burritos (veggie & BCR), 4 small crispy tacos, 1 thing of bean dip & 1 drink and spent $45. Unbelievable. Then they wouldn't give me any salsa with my food unless I spent .25 EACH! Mind you I bought a bag of chips w the bean dip! Oh and they have a 4% credit card surcharge. I will never come here again. I hope the measly .25 a salsa is worth it to them. read more

First time attending, the place is small but very homey and you can tell it's family own, love supporting places like this. Cashier was very welcoming nice and friendly, as well their cook. She's the star of this review, not only is Aracely a love, happy soul but she's an amazing cook food was very authentic and delicious I had a surf and turf burrito while my husband has a spicy happy burrito and both were AMAZING. Like this lovely lady said it her self it was made with love. Cheers to the chef! Will be returning for sure! read more

I've driven past this place many times but didn't have the pleasure of trying it out until today - I'm so glad I finally did! The food is not only delicious but also well-priced given the generous portion sizes (the burritos my husband and I got were bigger than my forearm)! The cashier who was working today was friendly both on the phone when I placed my order and when I came in to pick it up. This is definitely going to be our new go-to local spot for great Mexican food! read more

A friend and I happened to be on Treat Bl so we ended up at Countrywood Shopping center looking for a place to have dinner. At first we were going to Genova Deli for a sandwich but since it was after 5p we decided on Mexican food. Mariachi Mexican Grill is like a traditional taqueria. It's not a fancy place but the food is usually good and authentic. It was my first time there so I had to look over the large menu board. I was happy to see they had a two taco combo with rice and beans. The lady at the counter was nice and pleasant. She had no problem when I asked if I could have one soft taco and one crispy taco. Chips and salsa are not complimentary but for a $1 more, it wasnt an issue for me. My meal didnt take long from order to table. The server actually brought two small bags of chips and a few containers of salsa for my firiend and I. The flavor of the steak, rice and beans was excellent but I do miss that they didn't have a salsa bar as I would have liked some salsa verde. I'll likely stop by here again when I'm in the area. read more

This is the best Mexican Restaurant food, quality and price! I had been a customer 5 years now! Love it!

I ordered a breakfast burrito this morning because I was craving one, I've been here once before but I probably didn't like the food then either but tried again. Worst breakfast burrito, couldn't distinguish what was actually in it, doesn't come with salsa inside but does come with sour cream but they didn't put any. Won't be going back. Also they gave me my food in brown paper bag and then charged me .10 for it! read more

Good quality legit Mexican food, no frills, but who really needs them to have a good meal. I've had breakfast and lunch hear and both were very good. Went for the classic pork Chile Verde chimichanga and it was great. Tried the Barbacoa and carne asada tacos today and just as good! read more

Mariachi Mexican Grill - Tacos beef and chicken - Mexican Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

Owner and staff mess with the food and won't give refunds if you question their actions. EAT AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!!!!!! I have gone to Mariachi through the years and while I've had problems off and on with the quality and consistency of the food, I'm writing today because of the absolutely rude treatment I received from the cashier and a woman who said that she was "the owner". I came in for a burrito and was asked questions twice since the cashier wasn't concentrating. It happens. I answered twice. I was then informed that to get chips, I would have to pay for them. I was shocked as I never had to pay for them in the past. I said that that was not a great thing to do to the loyal customers but paid the amount for what used to be free. By saying this, I was pegged as "difficult". I waited for my to-go order watching for ten minutes as they cleaned and did things other than cooking. I saw meat on the grill but my order was for a vegetarian burrito. After 10 minutes, I let them know that I was needing it somewhat soon as I had to go to work. At which point, I received glares and they continued to work ignoring me. Then "the owner" asked a poor man from the back area to make my burrito. He didn't wear gloves and he made a point to touch the outside of a handwashing towel cover. I left with the burrito but as I drove away I felt I couldn't trust the burrito. How frustrating to pay for a burrito yet not feel comfortable enough to eat it because of the hostility and toxicity of the staff. I was not rude. I just didn't order perfectly and that made them angry. When I got to work, I called to ask for the manager and the woman said that she remembered me and that I could not receive a refund. She started screaming that I "abused" her cashier and that I was never to come back into their restaurant. I wasted $11 + dollars on a burrito that I was right to question. Eat at this toxic horrible place at your own peril. Don't worry! I won't be coming back to this horrible place again. read more

I went over to this area to get a quick sandwich for lunch at Genova's but the wait was taking forever so I left and found this place. I'm surprised I've never been.

Trust your intuition. On a stormy Saturday, My friend and I were looking for a place to eat in Walnut Creek. Initially, we wanted to find a place in the north end of Walnut Creek, but parking was a real pain. We agreed on Mariachi Mexican Grill since we knew parking wouldn't be an issue at Countrywood Shopping Center. On our way to the restaurant, I did not have a great feeling about this place, mostly because none of Mariachi's predecessors lasted long in that space. My bad feeling was somewhat confirmed when we arrived at around 1:00pm. The first thing I noticed was the restaurant was empty and one of its employees was talking on his cell phone outside. The interior was darker than it used to be. Pictures of their offerings were displayed all over their their counter area. I did not see a menu board anywhere. Instead, I had to look at a to go menu to see what they have. Nothing assured me that it was going to be a good meal. My friend and I both ordered their carnitas special ($10.85). The young woman at the counter gave us each a small paper tray of chips while the cook prepped our food. We grabbed a couple types of salsa from the salsa bar for the chips. The chips and salsas were okay. The spicy salsa had some nice heat in it. The same young woman brought us our food about 10 minutes later. The food was presented nicely and it came with three flour tortillas wrapped in foil. We both agreed that the carnitas was on the dry side (they heated it on the flat top grill prior to service) and it was not flavorful. The tortillas were straight out of a plastic bag. The rice and refried beans were very average. Overall, we both thought the carnitas special was not that special. The young woman at the counter was polite but did not seem to know their menu items too well. With great (and cheaper) Mexican food just a couple miles away on Monument Boulevard, I don't see myself going back to this place. BONUS MATERIAL: - There is no lock on the restroom door! read more
