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!

We were driving through Fort Smith and stopped at a local hotel. When I inquired about where we…read morecould get dinner somewhere close to the hotel and not a chain restaurant this place was recommended. We decided to try it and we're not disappointed. The staff was extremely friendly, all were fully masked. The tables inside for socially distance and everything was very well cleaned. My husband had the pork chili rellenos. He has had this dish in other places but nothing compares to this version. It was heavenly. The flavors were delicious. It was served with rice that was delicious and flavorful and a small bowl of beans that had some pork in it as well. He couldn't have been more pleased with the selection. I had the steak fajitas which were a large serving, and also delicious. They were served with the same wonderful rice, refried beans, and homemade flour tortillas. It was an amazing dish it also had some pico to Gallo, and fresh guacamole that was out of this world. I wish we lived closer because this would be a regular stop.

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.

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.
