    Tacos (carne asada)
    Fatima C.

    Oh My Goodness! We went hiking towards that area and we're starving! We stopped and had the best street tacos (carne asada)! Clean place, friendly staff, yummy food, plenty of parking! ¡Qué ricos les quedaron los tacos de asada! Pedimos cinco pero pudiéramos haber comido el doble. Regresaremos.

    Inexpensive and friendly service! The beef was a little dry and I got a couple gristley pieces but that didn't diminish the yumminess of the tacos with 2 corn tortillas for each taco and plenty of onions and cilantro. Me gusta la salsa verde mas que la roja pero es la opinión individual, por supuesto. Plenty of seating and suitable, I'd think, for a small or large group. Order at the counter and pay and then the food is brought to your table. ¡Me gustaría tener mas palabras en español pero no las tengo a demasiadas veces!

    This was the perfect stop after a day of four wheeling. They don't have a huge menu but they are very friendly and quick. The flavors were also spot on for what we ordered. If your hungry passing through Melba definitely stop and give it a try.

    Tacos were delicious, there was plenty of space for our large group to sit, the bathrooms were clean, and the service was very quick!

    Really enjoyed our experience here! The food was fresh and flavorful, and everything we ordered…read morecame out tasting great. The drinks were definitely strong and well-made, which we really appreciated. Our server was very friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome from the moment we sat down. The atmosphere was one of my favorite parts it had a warm, cozy Spanish vibe that made the whole experience feel relaxed and inviting. The music added to it perfectly and gave the restaurant a really nice energy. Overall, it's a great spot for a casual dinner, a date night, or just when you're craving good Mexican food in a comfortable setting. We'll definitely be coming back.

    It's hard to believe that it's been 8 years since my last review. I have frequented El Mariachi…read moreseveral times over the years and each time, the food and service improves. So much so, it's time for an updated review. I called ahead but it didn't really matter since seating was swift the night we went. I will say that the biggest downside is the small entry...when people are waiting, they often forget there's other people in the world other than themselves. We were quickly seated and the chips, salsa and bean dip with mushrooms and onions were delivered moments after. The salsa was nice, though needed salt...and the chips were on the older side. Bean dip was warm and tasted great with the mushrooms and onions mixed in. The server was very considerate while my friend and I eyed the large menu discussing all the options our stomachs were interested in. I settled on the burrito de chile verde and my friend had the carne asada taco plate. Food came roughly 15 minutes later, piping hot and with generous portions. I'm well aware this is authentic "Americanized" Mexican food, so I'm reviewing from that perspective. In this context, the food was very well prepared and tasted fresh. The pork in my burrito was tender, heavily sauced and cheesy-melty, wrapped in a fresh tortilla, topped with a lightly flavored chili verde sauce. Beans tasted homemade, though they could use a little more salt or garlic. Rice was a little dry but still edible, especially mixed with the beans, sauce and burrito. Would have loved some more sour cream or guacamole, but overall the meal was very filling and satisfying.
