"We went here for dinner on a Thursday evening. The restaurant wasn't busy. When they sat us we were placed in an area all by ourselves. It seemed as though they were doing it on purpose as a cautious approach to covid even though restrictions had recently been lifted. The staff was wearing masks. This was a thoughtful touch, even though we didn't feel the need, it showed their willingness to go the extra mile to take care of their customers.The staff was efficient and friendly.The parking lot and restaurant was clean, though there was a musty smell in the entry way.The service wasn't super fast likely because of the physical space between customers, but it was sufficient.The complimentary chips and salsa were good but the waitress let us run out of Salas before the meal came.The menu said we had a choice of which kind of beans we got, but the waitress didn't ask and we just got refried beans with our order. We both would have rather had the black beans.The food was good. We ordered the chili Verde and chili Colorado burrito combos. The Colorado was very flavorful and good the Verde was good bit didn't have the distinct green chili flavor I love, but was good also.The burritos were meat and sauce in the burrito only and the beans and rice were on the side like they should be.Everything came out hot.The rice and beans were good also.The burritos weren't as big around as some of the places that we have been to, but we were full once we finished our plates.Overall, we wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place. They did a good job and were less expensive than the last place we ate Mexican food at by about $10."

"EL MARIACHI MEXICAN GRILL is expansive, with a large, heated, tent-covered patio. Inside and outside, this sports centric eatery has enough big-screen televisions to support an appliance shop. The restaurant is homage to old Mexico, complete with riding saddles resting on the crossbeams in the main dining area. Corn chips, bean-cheese dip and vegan salsa are provided at each table. The menu is populated with familiar Mexican dishes. Our server, Orquidea, who has been with the restaurant for five years, described the ingredients of the many dishes on the menu. For example, the black beans are vegan, containing no animal products, however the rice is prepared with chicken broth. She pointed out that Chef Roberto and his staff will do everything possible to match special dietary requirements. I ordered an off-menu, vegan burrito. It arrived in a few minutes. The approximately footlong burrito was, give or take, three inches in diameter. In other words, it was huge. The oversized tortilla encased gently stir-fried vegetables with black beans. It arrived toasted and lightly sauced. It was muy bueno. The eleven year old restaurant lives up to its name, by providing live Mariachi¹ music on the weekends. El Mariachi offers lots of special offers. Here are a few: On Sunday 's all you can drink Mimosas. Half off on Mondays on everything but alcohol. Everyday, Mexican meals are cooked to order on a BeniPaisa; a Benihana style grill. The restaurant and bathrooms are ADA compatible. At lunch and dinner low-cost valet parking is required. There is little nearby street parking. Online or telephone orders are accepted for pickup or delivery by DoorDash. ¹ Mariachi is thought to have derived from the French word mariage marriage . The joyful sound first became popular entertainment in the 1860s. Google"
