I ordered the chicken fajitas and the lime virgin margarita. The chicken was seasoned right and the tortillas were hot and fresh. The waiters were also friendly and the chips and salsa were good. Everything was delicious! I will be back! read more

It felt like we took a trip to Mexico. This has got to be one of the best and most authentic Mexican restaurants in town! What we ordered: * Main: East LA - 7/10 * Appetizer: Tapas ($24) - 8/10 * Dessert: Churros $12 - 8/10 * Notable mention: the drinks looks amazing! We'll definitely be back to try them with friends. The restaurant is adorned in traditional Mexican decor with plenty of seating both indoor and outdoor. They've got a lovely patio in the back where we ate. Good spot for 2-6 people. They give you tortilla chips while you wait for your food with their own in-house sauce. Our waitresses were so kind, hospitable and ready with recommendations and explanations of the menu. read more

Lovely little Mexican restaurant with lots of nice decor and music. The staff were all really friendly and took the time to explain their menu even before seating us! We ordered: Main - East LA (beef burrito, chimichanga with rice) Appetizer - Tapas (beef and chicken enchilada with mini fried beef and cheese burritos) Dessert: Caramel churros (churros with caramel and vanilla ice cream) They also have a nice patio at the back of the restaurant! Highly recommend if you're looking for good Mexican food close to eglinton station. read more

Visited here for friends gathering. Food was delicious (everyone in our table agreed!) We ordered Margarita pitcher that gave us almost six glasses. If you're considering more than 4 glasses, that was a good deal. They have very Mexican vibe and nice back patio too! Willing to revisit again :) read more

I wish I knew about this place earlier! What a fun spot to go with friends. Great service, great food, great overall vibes. Shrimp tacos: 9.5/10 Delicious and the shrimps were large. Only thing was that it was hard to get in my mouth because there was so much tasty filling - Would not recommend to order on a first date Lime margarita: 10/10 Didn't even know I liked margaritas until now Tres Leches cake: 7.5/10 Was so full from all the other food (not pictured are the veggie nachos and guacamole starter), this cake was on the sweeter side and could only eat one bite. Great for those with a sweet tooth Churros and coconut ice cream: 10/10 Ice cream was covered in toasted coconut flakes. The cold against the freshly made churros was heaven Highly recommend! read more

Brandon was absolutely amazing! From the moment we walked into El Mariachi in Streetsville, his energy and friendliness made us feel so welcome. He was super knowledgeable about the menu, gave great recommendations (the tacos and margaritas were unreal!), and checked in at all the right times without ever being overbearing. It's rare to come across someone who genuinely cares about providing a great experience -- Brandon truly went above and beyond. You can tell he loves what he does, and it made our night that much better. If you're heading to El Mariachi, definitely ask for Brandon. He's the kind of server who makes you want to come back! Thanks again, Brandon! read more

This is a perfect place for authentic Mexican food and of course Margaritas! They have a patio alongside Yonge Street, a patio at the back and you also can dine in. The décor is dark and colorful and with the use of electric candles on the tables. The ambient is very cozy and the staff (who seem to be Mexican, too) are very friendly. We ordered "Traditional Margarita", "Tamarindo Margarita", "Mojito Margarita" and Sangria for drinks. We also ordered Guacamole and Nachos to share Enchiladas for entrée. Drinks were amazing and the food was delicious. read more

You know the general rule for dining out? If the restaurant is full, it's probably pretty good. Today I was proven wrong. A friend and I were looking for a place for dinner and decided to check out Mariachi's since it had a full patio, and the margaritas looked great! Well... We were seated promptly and handed a couple of sticky menus that was different from other Mexican spot I've been to. The drinks were priced reasonably, but the food menu was odd. It had some reasonably priced apps, and everything else was ~20. I can understand prices have gone up across the city, but 3 tacos (no sides) for $20 is a bit much in my opinion...oh and no mixing. The most frustrating part was the service. After 10 mins of sitting a server took our drink order and said they'd come back for our food order - but I interrupted and asked for guacamole anyway. 10 mins later, the guacamole came out, but no drinks. About 1/2 cup of guac + semi-stale chips for $14?! That's not even a whole avocado. 5 mins later my friend's drink came and I sat there nibbling on chips. 20 mins later I got my drink - a jalapeno margarita. And it was fantastic! 50 mins after seating, no one had come to take our meal order. I asked one staff, and she said someone will come shortly. Finally, about 1 hour after sitting down, someone took our order. I don't know if they have new staff in training, but they need some organization. The food... I don't know... I feel like I've had much better Mexican food in Toronto for significantly less. I ordered the Morelia, which was chicken enchilada with poblano sauce, and beef burrito covered in some tomato sauce and cheese. The sauces tasted like they were from a can... lacking flavour. However, their home made habanero hot sauce was very good. For $55 per person, this felt very disappointing. I'll definitely go back for the margaritas, but can't say I was impressed by anything else. read more

I came here with my brother and his family. At first they seated us outside but it was too hot and so they gladly found us a table for five people inside. I had steak fajitas. Although a little fatty, the steak was the best I have ever had with fajitas. And honestly, this was the first I was asked how I wanted the steak for my fajitas cooked. Usually it comes out well done. read more

It was a nice ambiance inside, the music is not too loud and they have a nice patio at the back of the restaurant. Service is okay. The food's flavour is good but on the pricier side since it's not a big serving. It also took a while for the tacos to come. Good thing we ordered soup as appetizer, it was a great soup (probably best I had in years)! The only downside is that it's $5 for a small bowl. Overall experience it's around 6/10. read more

Very disappointing. 4 of us went for dinner. 2 beers and a frozen margarita were ordered.while the beers came in around 5 minutes, it took another 15 for the margarita. My wife ordered a fajita. It took around 45 minutes for our food to be delivered, except for the tortillas that came 10 minutes after the filling came. Lastly I ordered an enchilada. What I was brought I do not know,but it was not an enchilada. Needless to say we were not impressed. As far as price is concerned, 2 meals, 1/2 an appetizer (split with other couple)and 1 margarita were 75 plus taxes and tip. 110 total. read more

Amazing and friendly service! The food is good value and very filling. I ordered the veggie fajitas. Definitely add the habanero sauce to give it more spice. The guacamole and tortilla chips are made fresh. My friend really enjoyed his East LA dish and my partner loved the Morelia dish.i also had the sangria which barely tastes like alcohol, but hit me after half the drink. I also bought the habanero sauce to take home. read more

So this is my first trip to Canada and I decided to try this place because of a picture I saw of a margarita. So of course, I did go and order that drink. I asked for a frozen margarita but it was far from frozen. It looked like the machine had melted. They made me another and it looked great but it wasn't sweet. I did order the quesadilla with chorizo. It was delicious. They served it Spanish rice and a side salad. First time I've been to a Mexican restaurant and I didn't get black beans. I had the habanero sauce with it and it was super spicy but I live for spicy food! read more

First things first: Great service! They were so polite, friendly and for the most part fast The margaritas were fantastic! I will definitely be back for those! However, the food left my taste buds in complete disappointment!! The appetizer was alright- everything was bland for myself and my boyfriend. Entrees: my boyfriend ordered the beef enchiladas. They looked fantastic and I would know, I was looking at his meal for awhile.. I was kept waiting for my chicken enchiladas for about an additional 5-10 minutes after he got his. When it finally came, my rice was cold! Not to mention? I found a hair in it. I pretty much lost my appetite right there. But I was just too hungry in the end- so I ate around my nasty rice. Again, food was bland! For Mexican food, I expect bold flavours and spices... I got none of this. Not to mention, the "spicy" sauce was not even a hint of spice in there. I gave them three stars because they were über nice and the service was good. However, this is a Mexican place I won't be visiting again for the food. read more

I'd give it a 3 and 1/2. Ambience is great, food tasted pretty good as well. But I definitely prefer those hole in the wall taco spots. Here 3 tacos did not fill me up, and cost about $20 (they were smaller) plus $4 cokes. For me generosity is everything. And here they could have made me at least full for my meal. read more

It was fun get together at Mariachis last week when me and my friends decided to go here. We primarily wanted to try the spicy margaritas. We got the jalepeno cucumber pitcher and the spicy pineapple one. Both were delicious. They got us the frozen style margaritas and I am not sure if they have the on the rocks option. During summer they have seating outside which is a small space with quite a few tables in the area. A decent place to sit, however it can get crowded. The place is located on the main road so it's easily accessed. We ordered food chicken fajita and our friends got the enchiladas. The fajita were a bit too saucy and wasn't really crisp. We also got some guacamole and that was delicious. So foodwise it was so-so but for drinks it was a really fun place to be! read more

10/10 would recommend checking this spot out! Such amazing food and a very wonderful experience, almost like your are eating a home cooked meal! New favourite restaurant in Toronto! read more

Went in on a Thursday evening for a dinner, and ordered a virgin margarita to begin with. Was served one with alcohol instead and when it was pointed out to the bartender/server she said it was my fault since I didn't specify. I clearly pointed on the menu where it said - Virgin Margarita's with lime. Ordered fish tacos also which were extremely oily. Food was below average for a over the top price. $20+ for 3 tacos that had no flavour read more

A friend and I went to Mariachi's on a Friday night sans reservation. This establishment is not a big one, but we were able to get seats without waiting too long. The hostess was quite friendly and seated us promptly, while exclaiming Spanish greetings. Clearly my level 1 Spanish course from Queen's was helpful as I had no idea what she was saying. The menu is extensive with a variety of Mexican items that you can choose from. To start our dining experience, both my friend and I decided to order margaritas to celebrate the end of a tiring week. The drinks were served to us instantly, but I cannot say the same about the food. Once our drinks arrived, we were not ready to order food. The server said that she would be back soon. Somehow this 'soon' was synonomous for 'eternity.' We waited and waited, eyeing our server and her colleagues numerous times, but no one came to take our order. After twenty minutes, our server finally came to ask if we were ready to ourder our food. The drinks were awesome... not too sweet, but not too 'alcoholy' (?). Our food was okay - it's not like I'm dreaming about the next time I can eat here again. If someone invites me to Mariachi's, I wont object, but I feel that I've experienced better in Toronto. Take it or leave it, I say. read more

Amazing food and drinks. The place is more casual and I loved the decoration. We went at autumn so we could still stay at the patio. The only thing is that my food was supposed to go in the oven, so my husband dish came first. He finished his meal and then I finally got mine. We complained nicely to the server, but I don't think it made difference. I also had a frozen Margherita (which I liked very much) But overall, it's a nice place. read more

I have been here numerous times and they never disappoint. I think it is owned by a family that works there and they are always smiling. I have ordered all types of stuff and nothing has failed me yet. Guacamole is a MUST here because they make it fresh and it is sooo creamy it tastes splendid. Ask them their reco for Tequila and they are sure to make sure they choose what fits your style. We were recommended the Jimador chilled and he was absolutely right it was amazing...so we had a few more lol read more

Was at Mariachis on Saturday night for dinner and I left a happy camper! It is a family run establishment; sweetest ladies ever! Its not fancy and pretentious, very laid back vibe, decor that is typical of mexican restaurants and they have a live band playing. The waitresses laugh and joke with patrons and give great recommendations for food and drinks. Test out your Spanish skills with them, they love it! We waited a tad long for our food but the staff apologized a few times and checked in so we didn't really notice. All in all a great experience, I definitely suggest making reservations! read more

Went there on a Sat night at 6pm for dinner before a movie. On the plus side the service was reasonably good. On the minus side: 1. The prices were much higher than the menu on their website. This was misleading. 2. The food was small in both flavour and quantity. There are far better Mexican restaurants in the area. read more

I like this place. Their food is good, I love the sauces and the décor and the super-friendly staff. My favourite are Chicken Taquitos. I have tried the Mole Sauce, I am not a fan. I have tried a few other things like Pablo Poblano, Fahitas, etc. but tend to order Taquitos more than anything else. When I want sit-down Mexican food, I go to Mariachi's. Go if you want a cozy experience. read more

If you value atmosphere - this is the place for you!! The family atmosphere and decor really add to the experience. There is also a pretty outdoor patio for summer.

You haven't lived until you have done a shot with queen Lupita! ! Great for dates or a night out with friends. read more

Mariachi's Restaurant - Margarita! !! - Mexican Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Almost gave it two stars (read to find out more) but the one thing I can't get over is serving an alcoholic drink to someone who specified "virgin", when you delivered it to the table she checked again that it was "virgin", you agree verbally it had no alcohol, she tries some, tastes alcohol and then you go -- "Oooh actually this one is the virgin". Sure, if she was pregnant or on medication or driving, maybe the sip of alcohol wouldn't be *that* big a deal. But if she was recovering alcoholic, that one sip could literally change her life, and it's up to you as a business to be honest and knowledgeable about what you're serving. Things that were terrible: - we had a reservation, they called us to confirm it was for 700 pm, show up, they say oops we thought 730 pm, they literally have to move people from their seats to accommodate us - during the 45 minute wait for all this to take place, they took drink orders from us multiple times, but never served us drinks - they dropped an entire plate of steaming hot chicken fajitas on the ground, it splashed boiling sauce all over people, and their clothes as well - when i went over to the owner at this point to say - now that we are covered in fajita sauce - can we please have the drinks we keep trying to order? she made a HUGE stink about it, just immediately responded, "We didn't do any of this on purpose, do you understand? We are doing our best" and then going to every member of my party reiterating that, as though I had done some rude injustice to her, it was super embarrassing and unprofessional - drinks still took an extra hour and they weren't good - they served the birthday girl fajitas with no tortillas or sides, just the meat (she didn't ask for that modification) - the food was so awful my poor fiance actually sent his BACK -- and this is a guy who complains about NOTHING - bills took over an hour after asking MULTIPLE times - the place was so warm they had to keep opening the front door to let in cool air It almost got 2 stars because they did pay the dry cleaning bill for the jacket that was covered in fajitas sauce, but honestly, I can't forgive the alcohol incident. This whole experience was stressful and awful. I have no idea why they took our reservation (none of us had been there before), we were clearly too big a group for them at 700 (or 730..or 800...depends who you ask) on a Saturday! read more

Mariachi's Restaurant - This is how much cheese you get with your $20 fajita - Mexican Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Food is fine - think food might be microwaved not sure. There is an middle aged skinny Mexican lady with glasses working here who is rude and has no filter she will just come up to you and say inappropriate things took away from the experience she will shame person for their weight "you look like type who needs dessert" stares at people from distance while eating and makes a face of disgust. Also when your paying for your bill she will shame a man for not paying the bill. "Food tastes better when your not paying for it right" You dont know what is going on in persons life. Seeing and hearing this kind of ruined my night, hope this does not happen to anyone else. Experience aside food is 2.5/5 nothing out of ordinary, ambiance is good, customer service generally slow, and portions are kind of small compared to other places. Update - it's been couple hours and me and my partner both have bad stomach aches. Gift that keeps on giving. read more

We always saw the place packed and decided to give it a try. The place wasn't full, but it took the staff 15 minutes to seat us, 15 mins to bring us drinks and another 15 to finally take our order. In the end we waited about 40 mins to get two orders of enchiladas that were soooo underwhelming! Sauce was not authentic and tasted like canned tomato sauce! Meat was meh, cheese was also meh. The rustic decor is the only reason why I'm not giving it one star. We told the waitress we were ready to order and she refused to take our order and didn't come back for 15 minutes. I don't understand why people come back. read more

I am Mexican, this is a "Mexican style" restaurant, this is not a Mexican restaurant, the menu sounds really good, everything sounds very traditional and appealing, however once you try it it's less than average. I've been here a few times, I tried to give them a second and even a third chance, I thought that maybe if I ordered something g different I was going to like it, but no and on top of that the dishes are extremely overpriced, I don't recommend it at all, if you want Mexican food go to el trompo and if you want a "Mexican style" restaurant go to Milagro, this one is also more chic and less casual than el trompo. read more

¡Estaba muy sabrosa! A taste of Mexico at Yonge and Eglinton! This cozy restaurant has been around for ages. The decor is festive with bright colors and tables painted with geckos. It's hard to find kid-friendly family spots in this part of town. This restaurant is owned by Mexicans and their menu has a lot of Mexican favorites. We started off with drinks and margaritas for the big kids. Tasty, perfectly salty with enough punch. I enjoyed mine! The guacamole ($8) is fresh and served with toasty tortilla chips and mild hot sauce. I don't think there was any garlic but the guac was creamy and tasty with chunks of onion and tomato. The Plato de Tapas ($12) is an appetizer platter with an assortment of flautas, and quesadillas. The Flautas were my favorite item, deep fried corn tortillas stuffed with mashed potatoes. I had the seafood burrito and enchilada with rice and salad ($13). The serving was huge, and everything was smothered in delicious green poblano sauce. The seafood was fresh, firm, and not overcooked. I was so full I started to just eat the burrito filling. The rice wasn't bad, even though I'm not a huge fan of Mexican rice. The fajitas were popular as expected. You can get single servings or a serving for two. The sizzling platter is huge but I didn't find the meat as tender as I would have liked. The fajitas come with small servings of cheese, lettuce, and sour cream. Additional sides (like tomatoes) are available at extra cost. They have a selection of desserts here, churros, fried ice cream... we were too full for desert, but I wish I had room! Overall, it was a nice meal and the service was good. I don't eat Mexican food much, but this restaurant is one of the better Mexican restaurants I have tried in the city. read more

I was hesitant about eating at Mariachi's because of the mixed Yelp reviews. However, I now regret holding out for so long. Walking in, we were seated right away. It's a very casual looking restaurant, but nicely decorated. We started with the guacamole appetizer, which was probably the best part of the meal. A very generous portion and nicely presented. My "Mole de Pollo" was a dish of chicken in mole sauce, a small serving of rice, a dish of refried beans, and a green salad. My friend had a combo plate called East LA which had both a beef burrito and a chicken chimichanga, rice, and salad. Dessert was three (one order) hot and crispy churros served with tasty whipped cream. Our food was all fresh and tasty. I did not experience any of the slow or inconsiderate service that others described. As a matter of fact, all three courses arrived very quickly and the two servers were very polite. And this was on a busy weekday evening during March Break. Shared appetizer, two meals, no drinks, and a shared dessert - $50. read more
