Reviews of El Mariachi Restaurant (Catering)

Ellen Chwastyk

Excellent food, reasonably priced. Great service

Christina Henderson

First time in and have to say..very sadly disappointing. We ordered steak fajitas and beef tacos. Food was definitely made cheaply and lacking in any true Mexican flavor. Any flavor!! Even the sour cream that I paid extra for was watered down.. Ugh.. Yuck. We paid $13.50 for a handful of bland yellow rice and a scoop of no taste black goop... A lot of onions and green pepper with some chewy beef strips and again.. No flavor?? 4 corn tortillaTacos.. Is just a corn tortilla with again.. Flavorless ground beef?? They asked do you want lettuce and tomatoes??? Of course.. Yes! There were a few scraps of lettuce and a couple tiny diced tomatoes. No cheese lol I guess you have to ask for cheese on your tacos too..and watered down sour cream. $8.50 for those 4 sad idk..Anyway.. Ugh.. All that horrible disappointment for $23. and change. Never again. Lost our business and we eat out quite often. Thier loss for sure! I don't know how they get any business cooking, serving and charging like that!

Robby Parsons

Good burritos and there food is pretty good too. They don't give you alot of chips and a small little cup of green sauce my only complaint.

Rachelle Setzler

Our favorite Mexican restaurant!!!!! The food is awesome and the staff is so nice

Bobby Marshall

It's not at all a fancy place but the food is excellent. Chimichangas are huge and very tasty.

Carole A Scoggin

Love El Mariachi. Huge portions! Fantastic wait staff, especially the tall waiter with the red beard...We always love having him as our waiter. Highly recommend this little gem tucked in the plumsteadville shopping center

Brandon Zdunczyk

Food is amazing and the prices are even better. Use your belly card to earn points towards free appetizers and entrees. Favorite place to eat in the area!

Erica

By far our favorite restaurant for Mexican food in the area. Great prices and delicious food. We have, however, had better experiences eating in, rather than take-out. All in all, highly recommend.

Justin Federici

My family absolutely loves this place. Great food at a great price. I highly recommend the chicken fajitas.

Michelle Cosgrove

Great food. Authentic Mexican cuisine.

Adam Haskin

This place is fantastic on a weekday. Food is great (about as authentic as it gets while still being tasty) and it's BYOB. Wait staff is very friendly. Friday and Saturday it gets crazy, would avoid. They are extremely apologetic on those occasions though.

Allyson Montgomery

Has been a go to place for years. Guacamole is excellent. Anything with chicken. This is not "hot" mexican food, but very tasty. Not fast paced service, laid back and friendly.

Thomas Karlsson

Authentic Mexican restaurant. Great food, attractive prices.

Jack Lafferty

Michael Mazzoni

Bill Coleman

Good Mexican food. Very pleasant service.

Jason McMunn

This place is fantastic. The staff is awesome and they always let us order our favorite specials. We go their more to eat than all the other Places in general.

ryan hooker

Tasty, classic, Mexican food with full flavor. Good prices

Karen Aguanno

Forgot the sour cream, but the food was great! Even though we had take out only, service was good and friendly.

Juan L Navia

Excellent food! Very traditional home-style Mexican fare.

Lee McGowan

Worst Mexican food I've ever had! No taste. Taste like cafeteria food. Small expensive portions. Fajitas didn't even come with something the wrap! Just lots of onion and peppers, dry chewy meat, a spoonful of rice and supposed to be refried beans. Worst ever!! Trust me.. take the drive into Doylestown for real food!! Never coming here again!

Matt Schmidt

Freaking awesome

Jason W.

Great for takeout or BYOB eat in.

Kyle

Blandest mexican food I've ever had.

Bobbi Shaw

Absolutely delicious!!! Decor is a bit plain, but the food is the real deal. Everything cooked fresh, wonderful flavors and plated beautifully. My entire family loved it. Friendly service. The only regret I have, is I didn't have room to try their dessert.

Bob Potterfield

A local favorite that is reasonably priced with a solid kitchen and wait staff. Their take-out menu is great for parties. A nice friendly place to grab an authentic Mexican meal in the heart of Plumsteadville.

Bill M

Best Mexican in Bucks County, Pa. Black bean soup, homemade Tamales on the weekend (we love the jalapeno and cheese), Ensalada Mixta... AUTHENTIC! We travel an hour. It's so worth it! Fresh chips and Salsa Verde. Ask for Erica!

James Sundheim

Everything about this place is great. The food is amazing and the service is wonderful. I've been here several times and it is always a great experience.

Dae Kenderdine

I haven't found anything here that was not amazing!

David Lovely

Good quality food. Some times service is slow, but always pleasant.

Louie Desiato

My go to place for simple Mexican

Samantha Bittner

This place has the best Mexican food around! I’ve been going here for probably 10 years now and have never had a bad meal. The staff is super friendly and my order is always correct!

Nicholas Turner

Some of the best, authentic Mexican food I have ever had. Be sure to come on the weekend for the tamales.

pauline phillips

Service very slow, usually quick.

Tom Wyckoff

Love this place. Very authentic, mole is to die for.

Tara Haurin

I ordered over the phone and when i picked up my order what i received was nothing close to what i had ordered.

Felicia Kallatch

FOOD WAS AMAZING

Cherie Burke

My very favorite Mexican restaurant. All dishes are freshly made with quality ingredients.

Michael Solomon

Good Mexican food byob

Jack Pitts

Worst Burrito I've ever had, this place makes Taco Bell seem like high-end Mexican. They need to scrap the salsa too, it's god-awful. The chicken burrito was exactly the same as the chicken quesadilla; ie, the quesadilla had barely any cheese in it. I really can't say enough bad things about the food here. Maybe I'm a snob from living in California, but if this is the only Mexican food you've ever had, you're in for a real treat when you go ANYWHERE else. Oh, and considering how horrendous the food was, they do charge you premium for it. I'd rather eat dogfood-- seriously.

Robert Gray

It’s difficult to match Mariachi for quality and price. Authentic Mexican- the restaurant is no frills, but the food is great

Ruben Beranza

Llego a las 11 am con ganas de probar unos tacos... Pero no hay señales de vida que tal el abrirán.. Se quedaron dormidos los empleados

Kristin Rocco

Ordered catering for my son's graduation. Ordering and pick up was a breeze and the food was amazing!! I highly recommend!

Greg Mitchell

Great food, the way TexMex should be! Generous portions at a very fair and reasonable price.

Ned Crane

Very good food and service. Warm welcoming staff

Harold J

Summary: Poor food and poor service. Not at all authentic. Had a date night with my wife and she really likes Mexican food so we tried El Mariachi. Big mistake. They should just give you a tray and have you wait in line for your food - the service was that bad and the food quality was that of a fast food place. Pro's: Guacamole was very good. Soda's tasted good and had free refills. Service: Greeted quickly, seated ourselves, took order quickly. When food arrived we had no silverware or napkins. Tried to catch one of the 2 wait staff in the whole place to get napkins for the chips and Guacamole - didn't happen. The steak, chicken, peppers, and onions of my fajita order came but then had a big wait to get the actual fajita's and toppings. Had to then wait longer for a plate to make the fajitas on. Would have liked to get the order together so I could eat when it arrives. Quality: My fajitas were overcooked. Steak shouldn't crunch when you bite into it. There was no taste - it was all bland and dry. My wife had Chimichangas - she didn't like it at all. I tried it and said it tasted like an old shoe - best description I could come up with. Everything tasted like it came out of a can or bag - the sauces, fajitas, chips... This was by far the worst Mexican food I've had.

Cute little restuarant with amazing food!! I had the burrito bowl and it was FANTASTIC!! two thumbs up

Deb G

Food is good but you can’t place an order no one picks up phone , happened on numerous occasions ????

Martin Mayo

(Translated by Google) Nice excellent deal (Original) Bonito excelente trato

Lynn Hughes

Friendly staff, very good food (nothing fancy, just good), attractive prices which are even better because it's BYOB. In fact, if you bring your own tequila, they will make you a margarita with it -- for free! Kitchen is flexible and accommodating -- when I asked for beef tacos without any peppers, they used a different beef because their taco beef mix contains peppers. I've been to a lot of places where I was simply told to order something else. Easy parking in a small strip mall on Route 611. I could do without the flat-screen tv that was running a Spanish language violent adventure film last time we were in, but you don't have to look at it. Traditional Mexican music would be nice (you know, like mariachi music??) . . . but we go for the food, not the decor or ambiance.

Jeanine Colon

Food is authentic but chicken flautas are not cheesy enough and meat is dry.

Thomas Speicher

Saturday evening dinner with friends. Firt time at El Mariachi. Good service, good food! My wife has some allergy restrictions with hot/spicy foods and Mexican is never and option. The kitchen was able to exclude a few things from the dish and she was very happy with the meal! Dinner prices are very reasonable as well. We will go back...

Brian Thompson

Good food at a very reasonable price. They have daily specials. Taco night is especially popular. Free refills on fountain drinks. We have always been able to seat ourselves without a wait.

Melissa Hettler

Delicious authentic Mexican food. Kind service. Great value/portions ... even my hungry man always brings home leftovers. And they have tamales!! Can't go wrong here.

George Scott

Excellent food, great prices, location is small so plan ahead. Service was outstanding . It was busy but we got in quickly.

Charles Bodner

Went there for lunch. Food and service were great!

Melissa Ely

My friends and I went out to dinner here last night, the day after a large snow storm that left most of Doylestown and surrounding area without power. To say they were busy would be an understatement. We were seated after about a 10 minute wait and were immediately greeted by a lovely young lady who took our drink order, she apologized profusely in advance and said it may be a wait for the food. We had already figured this since it was so crowded. The staff were so friendly and accommodating, even in this hectic atmosphere. We were checked on periodically and we didn't mind waiting It took about an hour and 15 for our food to arrive, but it was ABSOLUTELY worth the wait. All four meals came out hot and exactly as we ordered, again even though it was crazy busy. My chicken burrito was magnificent and flavorful my friends enjoyed their meals as well. When we received the check the young lady again apologized for our wait and told us that one of the meals was on the house due to the wait. We were taken aback! Not only did they have friendly staff and fantastic food, but they were so caring. We will be back to support this wonderful family owned restaurant soon.

Damian Bond

This is the best mexican around. If you are looking for traditonal mexican this is where you want to go.

Jillian Mayo

Tonight I got catering for my sons first birthday for 20 people which was definitely enough for 30+. The price was amazing and people raved about the food all night. Horacio even made a special dish for my family members who are vegan which was honestly one of the stand out dishes of the night. Awesome food and awesome value. Salad, rice, beans and four entrees from the menu. Can't beat it.

Douglas Wesney

Major disappointment, but I really want to give them a second chance. I've only heard great things from trusted friends about El Mariachi. We tried a Friday evening...HUGE mistake. They were slammed with only two servers--it was painfully slow (that's management's fault, not the server's). Ordered the highly-recommended guacamole...and it never showed up. Asked server, who returns saying, "they told me, 'what guacamole?'" Passing the buck like that...you're the server...it's YOUR job to validate the order!! Took nearly 90 minutes to get 4 burritos...painful. Server was absent-minded and overmatched for his responsibilities. Restaurant probably has great potential, but it was very hard to see based on tonight's experience. When we did finally get our food, it was tepid. I will update on the second attempt. Update 10/22/18: for years later...haven't gone back. Better Mexican options in town.

Christian Bonner

Great Mexican food. Byob. Very relaxing feel with quick service. Really enjoyed the house salsa.

Brian Pearson

Good food that's affordable.

Nate Davis

BYOB. Food is delicious. Always seems understaffed but food is worth the long wait times. Good for large family dinners.

Zach Mateja

We always enjoy our visits here, and when we order takeout. The food is great!

AJ Metzger

Unbelievable! I have been to the best and most expensive Mexican restaurants from here to NY and this is the absolute best food for the price, hands down!

Brandon

Walked in with a party of four and were immediately shoed out by a girl waving her hands at us saying “we are closed bye bye”. There was no sign on the door saying closed. We were treated like an unwanted stray dog 5 seconds into walking in the door. Unacceptable.

Alex Nagy

We've been searching for a good local Mexican restaurant and tonight we found it! The fajitas are amazing and the guacamole fiesta app is well worth it. Service was friendly and attentive as well. Make sure to order their house hot Chipotle sauce!

Brian Foster

Food was decent, service could have been much better

Valerie Culiner

I've always had tasty food every time I've been here, although we try to go on Sunday nights. Very busy on Fridays and Saturday nights, so be patient if you go then. BYOB!

Peter Nicholas

We have been a longstanding customer of El Mariachi. The food is great, the portions are generous, and the prices are very reasonable. The management and waitstaff are also very friendly. We highly recommend that you give it a try if you have never dined here.

Will Frank

Yeah, now this is what I'm talking about. Real tacos, complete with radishes, tamales, and other assorted real-deal offerings. Supporting this establishment all but ensures you'll be able to score a sack of tacos next week, next month, next year...

DIANA MONTES

Love this place

Pier Giacalone

Great food and service! Wish they’d do door dash.

Patt Riley

Always authenticly good

Cindy Yanetta

Great place! BYOB

Donald Woodring

Excellent Mexican food! I have been to Mexico only once but based on that visit, thus is authentic Mexican and TexMex food. And I don't know how anyone can leave feeling hungry. They serve large portions. If you're looking for a good Mexican restaurant, I recommend El Mariachi. Plus they have reasonable price.

Liam Tahaney

Great food. More interesting than your standard Mexican
