The drinks were definitely strong and well-made, which we really appreciated. Our server was very friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome from the moment we sat down. The atmosphere was one of my favorite parts it had a warm, cozy Spanish vibe that made the whole experience feel relaxed and inviting. The music added to it perfectly and gave the restaurant a really nice energy. Overall, it's a great spot for a casual dinner, a date night, or just when you're craving good Mexican food in a comfortable setting. We'll definitely be coming back.

It's hard to believe that it's been 8 years since my last review. I have frequented El Mariachi…read moreseveral times over the years and each time, the food and service improves. So much so, it's time for an updated review. I called ahead but it didn't really matter since seating was swift the night we went. I will say that the biggest downside is the small entry...when people are waiting, they often forget there's other people in the world other than themselves. We were quickly seated and the chips, salsa and bean dip with mushrooms and onions were delivered moments after. The salsa was nice, though needed salt...and the chips were on the older side. Bean dip was warm and tasted great with the mushrooms and onions mixed in. The server was very considerate while my friend and I eyed the large menu discussing all the options our stomachs were interested in. I settled on the burrito de chile verde and my friend had the carne asada taco plate. Food came roughly 15 minutes later, piping hot and with generous portions. I'm well aware this is authentic "Americanized" Mexican food, so I'm reviewing from that perspective. In this context, the food was very well prepared and tasted fresh. The pork in my burrito was tender, heavily sauced and cheesy-melty, wrapped in a fresh tortilla, topped with a lightly flavored chili verde sauce. Beans tasted homemade, though they could use a little more salt or garlic. Rice was a little dry but still edible, especially mixed with the beans, sauce and burrito. Would have loved some more sour cream or guacamole, but overall the meal was very filling and satisfying.

The Tacos Colima food truck can be found in the Star Mercantile parking lot and is currently open…read moreM-F 10:30am to 5:00pm. A higher star rating from me is warranted, however one of the challenges tied to any food truck is the availabilty of seating, shade, etc. There is one table with chairs available however and in our case today we were taking out regardless. The truck and work areas are clean and the menu is clear and concise (unlike some of the hastily handwritten ones for many food trucks). Although "tacos" provides the initial draw, the menu for Tacos Colima is varied. Other than tacos one can choose from burritos, super burritos, tortas, flautas, quesadillas, sopes, tostadas, and even a Torta Cubana sandwich. Protein options include pork carnitas, chorizo, chicharron (+$3), lengua (+$3), cabeza, shrimp, chicken, asada, pork adovada. We both went with burritos today - a carnitas Super Burrito - slightly larger and includes sour cream, avocado, and cheese - and a regular chorizo burrito - the regular is a simple beans, rice, and meat version. Being a chorizo "aficionado" I was more than pleased with my "plain" burrito. The soft tort was filled with an equal amount of chorizo, beans and rice. I was very happy with my choice. The portion was great for $7. The carnitas Super Burrito ($11) was also great, and large enough to opt for leftovers. My dining partner has also tried the carnitas tacos here which she stated were great. Nothing flashy, just really great, basic eats. Each of our plates also included shredded lettuce, thin sliced radishes, and a lime wedge. The burritos were also foil wrapped and were still nice and hot when we got them home. Such a great place to have close to us in Star. Very reasonably priced, fresh ingredients, and very friendly service. Highly-recommended.

My wife and I came here for the first time today, after I read the reviews. We live in Star, and…read morethis restaurant is only about 10 minutes from our home. Located right on 44, it seems to have plenty of parking in the back and a few parking spots in the front. It is a free-standing building, nice enough curb appeal, and inside the seating is ample, with a combination of booths and tables. There is a drive-thru with an awkward set up. The pick-up window is located out in the seating area, so that the staff have to walk across the restaurant to deliver the food to the people ordering. You order at the counter and they bring the food to you. Both the female and the male employees were very nice. My wife ordered the carnitas plate and I ordered the Shrimp a la Diabla. My wife thought her carnitas were a little crispy, as in over-cooked, but she did say that the meat was not dried out. She enjoyed her meal. I enjoyed the sauce of the Diabla dish; it was spicy enough. What I would have preferred as more mushrooms and a lot less of the thickly cut onion slices, which I don't care for and actually don't agree with me, if eaten in quantities. I would have also preferred more mushrooms, which I do enjoy. Still, the shrimp were plump and well-cooked, and there were plenty of them. Also, contrary to some reviews, we thought that there dishes offered plenty of food. There were flies in the restaurant, which are a real turn-off for us. Once we moved over under one of the ceiling fans, it did not seem like a problem. All in all, a good first experience. We will definitely be back.
