It has been a few years since I've been to El Mariachi. Myself, and my grandparents used to come here often, but had since started to going to El Monte because it is closer to my grandmother. We decided to give El Mariachi some love today since had not been in so long. Right away, the biggest change that caught my eye was the decor, they have gone with a more western style theme and have done away with the paintings that I remember... but I digress, we're here to talk about the food.First, the salsa. The first thing that caught my attention was they use fresh cilantro which gave a nice kick when you take that first bite, followed by the other spicy nuances that you want in any salsa. For my entree, I had the chicken fajitas. They came out promptly and were still sizzling. I also had the salad with refried beans, fresh guacamole, and rice. The fajitas themselves were great without any additional toppings, but blended with the guacamole, sour cream, and salsa, makes for a delectable little bite.All in all, it was a good experience. Service was prompt and attentative, and the food was good and fresh. While it may not exactly be like a fine wine in that it gets better with age, it certainly has not lost it's touch. Will definitely be coming back!

Deluxe chimiichanga is the best. Always friendly, eager servers. Love the wagon wheels windows.

The food is always hot and very good the employees/severs are always very respectful and attentive. The inside is kept very clean. Been going there for years couldn't ask for a better place to go.

Second time dining here and they tried to over charge us. I don’t understand how because they use a calculator and the itemized receipt had a total of 70 dollars and some change but when we added it up with the manager it was 46 and some change. That’s a 20 dollar difference hidden in this magic calculator they have. I wonder how many extra 20 dollar extra tickets they get all night because the place is always packed. I have let others know on my Facebook page and here also.

This place is as reliable as the sunrise. We don't actually care for Mexican food usually - EXCEPT for This Place. It's has lovely AUTHENTIC Mexican ambiance with REAL Mexican food. Our favorite is double chicken fajitas (you can get other meats). We usually have enough leftovers for another meal at home with soft tortillas from the grocery. And it's just as convenient to eat in as to call it in and pickup within 20 minutes. Except for Rosie's (which our kids like), we never go to other Mexican restaurants - only El Mariachi's on Winchester Road has been wonderful about customizing our orders, never compromising on their attentive service, always bringing great foods, and providing for a lovely dining experience.

Not bad but I don't eat inside. Decent, hot food, pricing is good and comes out quickly. If I want quick Mexican, it's one step above Taco Bell. I will admit that it's definitely authentic. So, it's ok but nothing to write home about.

Forgot order brought the rest of food out and forgot the other order. Food was cold by the time we got to eat. Two tables next to us got food before us after we ordered before them. Food was cold plate was cold.

Our family of 6 decided to try something new. The food was average at best and was nothing great. Other Mexican in Huntsville is much better. Our server was nice and very fast. It was definitely nothing special.

Nice atmosphere, friendly staff and clean. Food was ok, but nothing out of the ordinary.
