For Brenham, it was pretty good. What I mean is I wasn't sure what kind of Mexican food they were going to have but every time we drove by while visiting the parking lot was very full which is a good sign. We got take out from here and ordered ahead of time. Rice and refried beans were good. Fajitas were really soft but also lacked a little flavor so some salt or something on the beef would have been nice. Kids meal is super generous and my husband ate one of those and was full. They even packed chips and two types of salsa to go so that was a win. This was also a very affordable choice we were able to walk to because of our hotel and bring the food back. read more

When I walked in, noone was at the front. So I waited. The lady came from the back and she automatically thought the couple behind me was there first. I wonder why? We know why. The gentleman corrected her and said I was there first. The waiter Victor, is a racist! Point blank! The whole restaurant caters to a certain demographic. Cook at home my fellow people. Don't spend your money where you're not liked or treated equal! read more

It's pretty good. I walked in on my lunch break and ordered the lunch fajitas for $12.99, with a DP. Everything was easy to eat and properly cooked and portioned. The ambience wasn't overly loud. The staff were friendly, and the service was relatively quick. Keep in mind that it was at the end of lunch service. I enjoyed myself there. All in all, it was about what you'd expect from a prototypical Tex-Mex restaurant. I would eat here again. read more

Very fast and friendly service. On a busy night they were still quickly taking care of anyone. Food was very good and hot. Cheese enchiladas, beef tacos and chicken fajitas all were a hit. Now we've become regulars. read more

We got Victor for our server. He was amazing! He got slammed with 4 or 5 tables one right after the other. We lacked for nothing. The hubby got the enchilada trio and I got the chicken fajitas for one. The food was delicious. Next time we're in the area, we'll be back. read more

Chips were stale... Nachos were terrible! Enchilada was good. I would try again, someday! read more

I wanted to give a update after my last visit. Once we started asking for Victor, service is a 5 every time which makes the whole experience a 5. Food is amazing ! read more

Overall, this restaurant is fine but nothing to write home about. Manuel's (another Mexican restaurant in the area) in my opinion has much better food and margaritas. I won't be coming back. read more

We waited at least 15 min with nobody even asking if we wanted water. They waited on another table that got there after we arrived. We ended up leaving. Very bad service. read more

Best service I experienced . everyone very attentive . they were supper busy and had the best hometown hospitality. Highly recommend!

Food was out in 5 minutes. Tasty and fresh! Thank you so much. I loved the colors of the interior.

I must start by stating my bar for Tex-Mex food is very high given that I hail from the home of this type of food in South Texas. As always I begin my reviews mentioning the service which was ok, not bad or great just ok. On to the food. As the brought the chips and salsas i dived in. Nothing special to say here, mediocre at best for both the red and green with little unique flavors tasting like generic SA directly from restaurant supplier Sysco. Ordered the Chipotle Chicken with barracho beans, Spanish rice and asked for corn/miaze tortillas instead of the flour that came with the plate. Here is the food, open the tortilla carrier and what do I see, flat disc made with white corn very much like those tortilla frisbees that can be bought from H‑E‑B grocery store. The flavor was the same which was disappointing too say the least. Took a spoonful of the beans and not bad though it could use a bit more spices. On the the chicken which proved to be overcooked and very dry. Luckily the generic, yes again, tomato based sauce poured over it helped though it did not add a lot of additional flavor. Even with the unimpressive experience I'll come back to try something else though my search for good quality Tex-Mex in the Brenham continues. read more

Mariachi's Mexican Restaurant is family owned and features a large menu of traditional Mexican fare at reasonable prices. As soon as you are seated they'll bring you over a bowl of warm tortilla chips with salsa, which is a decided plus if you arrive hungry. Servers are attentive and personable and food is prepared quickly. We ordered Chalupa's and Quesadilla's. Sadly, neither dish was on par with expectations. The Quesadilla's could have been much crispier. Our Chalupa order came on a plate of mostly shredded lettuce and a few scant pieces of chicken which were hidden underneath a sea of greens, sour cream, tomatoes and cheese. We ate the chicken and left the rest. Mariachi's was crowded on a Saturday evening and is the sort of venue that's well supported by the community given the fact they've been around for a long time. If you are looking for Mexican food at a reasonable price point give Mariachi's a try and decide for yourself. read more

I was looking for a place to go that I hadn't tried before. Great service and my burrito was really good! I ordered the fajita chicken burrito with queso on top instead of the chili. So good! read more

Pretty good Mexican place. Quick service! We really liked the rice, taco, and burrito. Will come again when we're driving through town.

After trying all Brenham area Mexican restaurants this one was definitely everyone's favorite. The salsa, though not as thick as most, had more flavor and spice. I would actually rank their salsa, green sauce and queso with some of my usual favorites around Houston. To keep things on the safe side for our first time we had the fajitas. They were on par and maybe a little ahead of the other local spots. The flavor was nice and the cut of meat was good. No complaints there! We had to pay for extra sour cream which was no big deal. The beans and rice were good also. The only thing off hand they could work on is their wait staff. They seemed younger, and while not rude, just missing that great customer service feel you get from some places. She simply took our order but never engaged. Still, was nothing that would keep us from coming back. Last, mango margarita was great! read more

Service was non existent, food was nothing special. Had been 3 years since my last visit, the reason was due to terrible service.. nothing has changed.. will never go back. read more

This place was terrible. We ordered queso and it tasted like cardboard. Service was lousy and slow even though it was not busy. Do not recommend this place. read more

I dont know to rate this. The staff are nice. The place is good for hang outs. The food is really good BUT is it worth *rhea? Coz thats what I got. I though it was just me but my friend did too. The only thing we had the same is the salsa and greens that came with our meal. I've never gotten sick like that from a restaurant. We didn't even have any liquor. Will I come back probably not. I'm still healing from 3 days ago.... pls fix how you handle your food coz food poisoning is no joke! Sad, but the food is actually not bad. read more

I have been going to Mariachis for many years. Even after moving away, when I visit, Mariachis is one of the places we frequent. The food is great! My favorite meal is the burritos de fajita! My hubby loves their nachos. Overall, they have pretty good food. I will say that sometimes their service is a little hit or miss depending on the amount of people there. Food - 4.5 Stars Service - 3.5 Stars read more

We had a party of 10 & the servers handled us & our order beautifully! Bottomless baskets of chips & every order prepared to our individual preferences! Thank you for a pleasant experience! read more

Love their queso and salsa! Service is always great and the cheese enchiladas with rice and beans are amazing.

This restaurant doesn't appreciate Mother's or Father's, and I say this because I visit my family for these special times in May & June. On Sunday Lunch for Mother's Day 2021, my Mom asked me to go ahead to get a table at Mariachi's Restaurant for the 1st time since the opening of the post pandemic season, the staff sat me at a table for 6-persons. About 20-30mins later, in walks my Mom, Dad, Bro & Sister in law w/1-of their sons. As My Family Was Walking In, the wait staff was arguing w/me to leave the table where they had just served me my meal, the Asst Mamager came out and was moving my plate of food w/o my permission to the next table of four! Yes, I was so appalled, and I told them my family was walking in the door! I was so upset, I had lost my appetite as no one has ever treated me so poorly in any restaurant ever in my life! I asked to have my meal packed up, paid for it, & Left. I should've asked to have it for free, but I planned to NEVER go back because of their poor treatment of me as a long standing customer. In June 2021, my Mom asked me again to go ahead of the family to get a table at Mariachi's on Father's Day wknd. This time, I saw my Dad was there waiting for everyone (6-persons w/an additional 3-persons as my sister has come in from out of town w/2-young adult children) w/his Oxygen Tank. I asked for the Manager, and I asked for a FREE MEAL because of the way his wait staff treated me during Mother's Day weekend. He only decided to offer my Dad a FREE MEAL, and explained they had a new policy of not seating a party until all the people had arrived. THEY MADE FIVE OF IS WAIT ESPECIALLY MY DAD until my Bro, his wife, and his son came in. My brother asked why we where standing as the restaurant seemed to have tables? In 5-mins, my brother asked to speak to the manager as we were only waiting for my Mom & one of my nieces to arrive. The food took twenty minutes. I fell ill after this restaurant visit. Again, I told myself I would not attend any meals with my family nor help assist my Mom by arriving early to get a table. The wait staff probably spit in our beverages, barfed or pooped in our food bc I was sick after that. I cannot recommend that restaurant to ANYONE!! read more

I've been here twice now had a good first experience decided to get a quesadilla that was good and so are their margaritas. However the next time I went I decided to get their burger which comes with fries. The burger is a little weird cause the bun is sweet and it comes with a lot of pickles, but the fries, no thank you, they tasted like they were frozen not made fresh. So as expected their Mexican food is good and their burger was subpar and fries were pretty gross. Overall pretty good experience. read more

Service not too great. My cheese enchilada was not hot. Charged extra for chopped onions and jalapeño. Refried beans were cold. Waitress was not attentive and kind of rude. Drinks were weak. My husband liked the spicy chicken he ordered. Oh, Rosa was our waitress. read more

The service here is mediocre. The complimentary chips and salsa is sub par, but there are lots of menu options. Mariachi's is nothing special, and there are much better (and cheaper) Tex Mex options in Brenham. Also, do not attempt to order alcohol if you are underage, even if you are with your parents and they give permission (which is legal) or the manager herself will interrupt your family dinner to ridicule your life choices. read more

This place has amazing drinks and great food. Waiters are really good, return business.

Foods decent BUT rudest wait staff and manager! Whatever you do don't complain that THEY got your order wrong. Use to love this place but after last two visits, never going back. read more

Best margaritas in town, hands down. I love their food and they have amazing service.

Beware of the Fajitas - Went out for a nice dinner with the wife and ordered Beef Fajitas for two at $26. When we received the order the amount of meat looked skimpy but did not want to make an issue and ruin the moment. I did ask the waiter who summoned the manager and her response was "oh, we ran out of meat - I was going to come over and tell you". Seems she would have been ok had we eaten and left and hoped we had not noticed. Looks like they are shorting customers meat quantity and hoping no one notices - beware they are not worth the $26. They may have this same shorting tactic on all their food to save a buck - will not return to this restaurant - had been one of our favorites for a few years read more

When we got there, they only had 3 tables that had customers, not busy at all.....it took about 5 minutes for them to bring chips and salsa, and another 5 minutes to take drink order. Once we ordered, the food took a long time to arrive. The salsa was not good, very watery and no flavor. The food was okay, but not anything I would order again. For 2 people the bill was $22...we drank water and only had one entree and 1 appetizer. Very high price, bad service, and so-so food. I definitely won't go back. read more

My wife's wanted steak Nachos with cheese only and wanted the steak well done..... nachos came to the table with what looked like melted cheese wiz on them with cold steak pieces. The Tamale I had looked and tasted like it came out of a Hormel can .... very disappointed read more

This place was great!!! The staff was friendly and prompt on all our request. The food was delicious and had big portions. The entire atmosphere was enjoyable, will defiantly be stopping by next time we're in town. read more

First time vist, I had the Chicken Cosumel, was I so ever surprised. It's. 20-25 minute wait, it is worth every second of it. It ranks with any meal I ever had, top of the list. Service was second to none. read more

This place is great. Staff was awesome and the food was spectacular. We will be back!

Food is Good!!! I love their charro beans they are the best in Brenham! I would give this place 5 stars if they had more variety of dishes. Service was very good too and the place is clean! Overall a good place to eat! read more

First off, I wish this was still Tejas Bar & Grill - I LOVED their fajitas! That out of the way, my wife and I like to share the "spicy chicken" dinner. It's plenty for the two of us, especially with chips and salsa. The "spicy chicken" is just one step below "too spicy"! I love it. Waitstaff has been friendly and efficient, and this is a good "go to" for Sunday after Morning Services! read more

Best Mexican food in Brenham period ! Love their Spicy Chicken, always on point when it comes to taste .

My friend and I had an early dinner here. I ordered one sour cream chicken enchilada and received a full plate of cheese enchiladas. They took them back but brought back the same plate and said they would only charge for the one enchilada. I accepted it but they weren't the best. I also ordered a $9 margarita and it wasn't good at all. Neither of us liked their hot sauce. We had to ask for the red sauce 'cause they only brought out the green. Wasn't our favorite Mex food. :( read more

Best Mexican food in the area!!! The service is equally as great! And be sure to try the watermelon margaritas!!
