I've eaten a lot of Mexican food and dined at a lot of Mexican restaurants in my years as an adult…read more So far, the best I've had in the United States was all in Southern California, Arizona or Albuquerque NM. Upon moving to Arkansas, I've been on the search for a solid authentic Mexican restaurant to dine at. Tonight, my search ended. El Mariachi is absolutely amazing! Located on the south west side of Fort Smith, you get a combination of awesome tasting food, delicious drinks, a choice of different heat level salsas, and all at very reasonable prices. The staff is friendly and accommodating. I had the street taco plate, with al pastor and carnitas meats with a side of refried beans and Mexican rice - which is all made fresh daily in house. I also tend to judge a Mexican restaurant very hard on the quality of their salsa. The regular salsa is tasty, if you ask for their tomatillo salsa, it is hotter and flavorful with a hint of chipotle pepper in the background, and for those brave enough to try it, the Diablo salsa has just the right amount of heat if eaten in small amounts. I also had a top shelf margarita, which for the price point they have it at was perfectly made and enjoyed. In the end, I had to try their flan. I will state, this is probably some of, if not The best flan I've ever eaten. If you are looking for delicious, authentic Mexican food in a comfortable restaurant setting, look no further and give them a try; you won't regret it!

The service was wonderful. Some of the best service we've received anywhere we've eaten. The…read morerestaurant was clean and comfortable. The food was sorely lacking. Everything was either oversalted or had no taste at all. The guacamole was almost too salty to eat. The chips and salsa tasted like canned, crushed tomatoes. The food was cooked well, attractively served, looked appetizing, hot, it met all of the requirements except taste. I really dislike negative comments and remember, this is our opinion, but we were not impressed by the food.

Wifey had Fajitas Hidalgo: literally a pile of steak covered with bell pepper and onion smothered in cheese. A great Philly cheese steak with warm tortillas!! And it comes with a dinner size plate of rice. Beans, guacamole, pico. She stopped when she could not stuff any more into her face. About half way through! I had the seafood soup. Also way more than I expected. A pho-size bowl. The seafood was piled high, tilapia, scallops, mussels. The broth was amazing!! The chips and salsa were excellent, too!! I am not a food snob, but I know what we like...El Lorito fills the bill. The service was great--attentive, quick, friendly. Everything service should be. Ambience--no loud music, a large noisy group came in and were seated at the far end of the restaurant. You could the the screaming kids, the laughter, the conversations, but not hear it. No blaring music. Just a great place to eat!!

The Las Americas Restaurant had a very delicious parlando pepper stuffed with cheese, lightly breaded and coated with tomato based sauce. It was well balanced with flavors. The Carne Asada Burrito was a bit greasy, but flavors were spot on. Mexican Husband ordered the Carne Asada Gorditas. The flavor was fresh combo of meat & veggies. Mexican Tamale was enjoyable with a good measure of masa and pork. The restaurant was moderately kept, and has air conditioning. The restaurant has a pick-up window, and at times the wait staff was attending to it. Overall a nice visit.

This is where things derailed. We ordered drinks, the pitcher of margaritas was very weak. So we had to order shots to put in it. Waitress had to return to the table 2x to ask what type of tequila we ordered. When asked about certain dishes on the menu, she admitted she had not eaten much of the food from the menu. So she was no help when we had questions. Food order came in and wasn't correct. Some orders had been forgotten. Placed after most the table had received their food.
