Delicious fresh authentic everything we had was so good! They served fresh tortilla chips with homemade salsa Roja y Verde.

Authentic Mexican food located on Main Street in Georgetown. We popped in here for lunch. The service was really good and we sat in the outdoor dining area, which had colorful chairs and umbrellas. The complimentary chips were very good. I enjoyed my chicken tacos and my husband liked his entree which was served with rice and beans. read more

Yall need to update your hours. They're wrong all over the place including Yelp, google, and your website. Everywhere says open sundays. clearly NOT OPEN SUNDAY read more

Homemade Guac delish. Everything made and served with authenticity and care. Good call when wanting local Mexican food fare!

We visited on May 21st for lunch. Some prospective visitors may be put off by the restaurants inability to offer alcoholic drinks. The service provided everything requested. We ordered the empanada and Gordita plates to share. A total of six pieces between both. Split up the ingredients into carnitas, steak, pastor and chorizo. They were so good! They do not offer the gorditas or empanadas in an a la carte option nor are they available on Sundays. read more

Quiet Sunday lunch in early August. Was starving and since Covid is popping off here along the Grand Strand needed outside dining. Had to skip upscale Luna (Mexican) in Murrells Inlet because they have no outside dining. This place had good reviews. And we love Mexican. Pleasant waitress was a little shy but did a great job. I asked her what taco she liked to eat and she said "el pastor" and I replied I'll have what you like! Really it's the easiest way to order. Was very tasty. Hubs got the chicken enchiladas with green sauce. Rice and beans were tasty as expected. Homemade chips could've used a tad more salt. The queso dip and spicy red were nice. Sweet tea was a refreshing necessity in August. Ate outside under an umbrella. Chairs were comfortable. Note: next time I'll try the Chicken chimi-bowl another reviewer had. Looks good. read more

Food is decent. Most so called Mexican restaurants are exactly the same. This one is a little more "traditional " food. A good place for some quick tacos. read more

Taqueria El Mariachi - Chicken Chimi-Bowl - Mexican Near Me - Georgetown, South Carolina

My husband and I and some friends visited last night. The place looks small from the outside but is actually quite spacious with tables of various sizes. The staff is kind and attentive especially as our party arrived near to closing after hitting the beach and stay a bit past closing. The food was spectacular. Everyone, even the children, thoroughly enjoyed everything that was ordered. From the chicken Milanesa Torta to the Tameles to the empanadas... everything was delicious. We will definitely be back if and when we visit Georgetown. read more

I love this adorable little Mexican restaurant located in the historic district is downtown Georgetown SC! Great service and fresh delicious food! Very affordable too!! I love their fresh green salsa (not too hot) as compared to their special "red salsa" (like fire to these taste buds as I'm not fond of hot and spicy). The reformed beans are hot and fresh too just like the fresh chips! I was impressed with the chicken tacos as they are filled wirh fresh lettuce tomatoes (tastes fresh from the garden) cheese and cilantro! The staff are Wearing masks too. What a great find on front street!! read more

Actual Mexican food with flavor! Not your typical South Carolina bland food. This place gets it right with fresh ingredients and traditional tastes and flavors. Very reasonable and worth the trip if your craving Mexican food that taste like Mexican food. While your there, try the Hot sauce, not the green they bring you, but the red. Truly awesome and has a great kick. Best burrito in Georgetown, great food, prices and service read more

We are from out of state and Stopped in for lunch. We ordered a torta, tacos, nachos, huaraches and empanadas to share with a family of 6. The nachos stood out as very good with the onions and peppers and queso. They didn't have a kids meal but our 9 year old son loved the tacos and our 7 year old daughter loved the rice. We all enjoyed the food. Service was great. Would highly recommend read more

This place did not disappoint! The waitress was very nice and the food did not take a long time to come out. We got soaps and tacos with all 4 meats. Everything was great! I personally liked the pork the best. Your meal is served with chips and tomatillo (green) salsa. So good! We will definitely come back next time we are in town. read more

Taqueria El Mariachi - Exterior - Mexican Near Me - Georgetown, South Carolina

Best carnitas tacos I've ever had! My husband had the steak and they were also really good.

Go here now. Seriously... if you've made it this far go. This place has the best Mexican food around hands down. I ordered the same exact dish from another Mexican place in town the night before and was highly disappointed in the quality, taste, and portion size. I decided to go to Taqueria El Mariachi and was not disappointed. Yes you may have to park a block away and walk. Yes they may not have the spacious more modern atmosphere you can find elsewhere. But any shortcomings you can find are totally made up for with the taste, quality, and portion size of the dishes. I literally got double the amount of meat here as I did at the competition, and it taste so much better. Some of their specialty items aren't available all the time but it is well worth asking. Fresh tamales made in the house, freshly stuffed chile rellenos, and other items that if you do find elsewhere certainly isn't near as fresh. You can count on fresh house made tortillas all the time though (don't even ask me if they have flour because corn is the only way to go). The place was slow when I went and I really hope people will check it out and support them so they can stay around. It pains me to see the best Mexican food in town have the least amount of business. I would suggest calling before you go because their hours seem to be a little sporadic. read more

I dont know how this place gets 4 stars at all! . We sat ourselves, our server stayed at another table to take our order, so weird and awkward, not welcoming. They were not busy, no one was there, yet our food was like 3 day old canned and packaged stuff it seemed. We paod $95 for 4 people. No appetizers. We felt so ripped off to pay so much for horrible food! Bad food,bad service,old super weak bad tea. Not real spanish rice. Taco meat, old and burnt read more

Best tacos ever. We were hopping around to a few places and decided to stop in here. Needless to say, we didn't leave. More authentic, delicious tacos than nyc. read more

Taqueria El Mariachi - Mexican Near Me - Georgetown, South Carolina

If I could give one star I would. Came here to eat while enjoying a festival in Georgetown..... the food was disgusting (no flavor, no spices, not even salt. The salsa verde was just tomatillos and jalapeño, no lime, no garlic, no cilantro... it's just spicy and chunky water). My brother had black things floating around in his water. To top it off (we sat outside to eat because we brought our puppy with us) our waiter was somehow against us having an empty plate for our puppy to eat his food from, to eat with us. Terrible service and terrible food. We stopped at Taco Bell after and had a fantastic Mexican meal. This place is NOT authentic, and they have many DHEC violations. I'm shocked they are still open. This place needs to be inspected. read more

Stopped for lunch. Very good empanadas, good service. Very reasonable and nice portions. Spotless restroom too!

Went there last night and I had the tamales while my friend had her taco salad, we were pleasantly surprised at how good the food were... I think my tamales were the best since my last trip to San Miguel de Allende. We will definitely be back, maybe for breakfast next! read more

Very very good. I know good authentic Mexican food since I have spent a significant amount of time between Tijuana and Ensenada eating the real deal. This place is worth the stop! read more

Amazing homemade Mexican. Everything is fresh, and authentic. So much better the other places here locally.

Delicious Mexican food with fast service. We found this spot driving from Charleston to Wilmington. It was so good, we went again on the way back south. We tried the burrito, gordita, empanadas, and tamales. Everything was so flavorful and the tortillas were fresh. Best Latin food I've had in SC. read more

Came here while visiting Georgetown and upon reading reviews this one stood out. From the start we were intrigued by this quaint little spot...Yury, our sweet waitress was so kind and attentive. This food was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING...hands down the best Mexican food I've had in close to 20 years...tasted like my friends grandmother used to make...it's the real deal and you won't be disappointed! read more

My husband and I both had the carnitas tacos. They were delicious and the meat was nice and lean. Everyone was friendly and welcoming. The prices were reasonable too. We will be back! read more

It's very easy to miss if you don't know it's there. For a long time I also didn't know there was seating in the back. But the service is amazing. The food has every Mexican restaurant in Georgetown beat and it's very cheap. read more

We had to leave because the cook couldn't accommodate my dietary restrictions (which I have never experienced at a Mexican restaurant before). The fact that they literally had nothing to offer me on the menu is just unacceptable. read more

Hands down the best burrito we've ever had. That's a serious statement, and it's true. I had the chicken and my husband had the steak, and we were both oo-ing and ah-ing the whole time we were eating. We come to Georgetown a couple times a year to see family, and somehow we've never been here, but I want to go back tomorrow. The burrito portions are big enough that two people could share one burrito. This little hole in the wall is easily overlooked, but do yourself a favor and stop in! The chips and salsa cost extra which usually is a turn off for us, but the burritos made up for it tenfold. Plus, the salsa wasn't that great, so I'd skip the chips and salsa anyways. We came here for lunch, and I didn't see margaritas on the menu, so not sure I'd they have them. Even without margs though, this place is well worth the visit. read more

I called in my order to go while on my break from work. It was my first time eating here. I was told on the phone the order might be about 45 mins until ready due to a larger order ahead of mine. I appreciated the communication from the staff. When I arrived the restaurant was very clean and small but had additional seating in the back I didn't go into. The staff was very friendly. My order was made fresh to order and did not disappoint. It was delicious!! I ordered way too much but kept the leftovers for the next day. It was delicious the next day as well and I would definitely order from here again! The pics online are accurate to what you receive. I will be back and will tell my coworkers. read more

Extremely friendly service! Take out order of chips and queso, tamales, and street tacos was the perfect Saturday night dinner at home! Green & Red sauces were perfect addition to meal items. read more
