EL MARIACHI Reviews
Before last weeks experience I’d have nothing but positive review but this last has changed my mind. My whole family got E. coli after eating here. This is first time experiencing E. coli and oh boy , ive felt like death. Would love to say just a bad day but clearly they are not sanitary or using product that’s expired and not caring about the well being of ppls health. Haven’t been this sick in over 10 yrs. Don’t think I’ll be returning
My food arrived just a couple minutes after we ordered. I'm pretty sure it was microwaved. It was bland, the burrito was mushy, the hard shell taco was soggy on one side. Not what I'm used to from this place, it was pretty gross.
Food is always delicious! I went in after work on Mother’s Day to take home 3 orders of shrimp fajitas and the patio and tables inside were packed. Despite staff being very busy, I still got my order in 15 min and one of the teens working at the register checked on me while I waited to see if I needed anything. I’ve always had excellent service. The margaritas are delicious as well!

Food comes in big servings and tastes great, with reasonable prices for the large plates and platters. The margaritas are very good, and the queso for the table is highly recommended. The menu includes a gluten-free section, and high chairs are available for toddlers. Despite the busy environment, service remains quick and friendly, and customers often appreciate the flavorful salsa and plentiful chips. Overall, EL MARIACHI is a popular, clean, and welcoming Mexican spot in Johnston, perfect for a quick, tasty meal or a fun outing.
