    Seafood (fish shrimp mussels) oops forgot name
    Laila D.

    This is one of the best Mexican restaurants I have ever been to across NJ, Philly, NYC, LA, SF, Arizona, and even Mexico! All of the food is gorgeously prepared and absolutely delicious, the service is extremely warm, welcoming, and helpful, and the ambiance and decoration are beautiful! The hours are great too! Some of my favorite dishes here are the chicken mole enchiladas with two fried eggs on top, the carne asada burrito, the quesobirilla, and (a special), the tamales are the best I have ever eaten anywhere!! (and I love tamales!!). The horchata is also the best most fresh and delicious and beautifully presented as I've eaten anywhere! The hours are great too!! Many restaurants close early or are closed Mondays or Tuesdays, they are open daily and late!!

    Located in a small plaza with parking up front. Came here late night around 10pm looking for Mexican food in the area which there was a couple options around but a bit skeptical as I have specific things I look for . The menu had its classics and they served aqua frescas so decided to come here and it was a plus when I called to check the hours and they picked up in Spanish LOL . Was seated and brought chips and salsa , salsa was tasty and fresh. You have to ask for their menu with prices because at first I was handed a menu without prices. Decided to go with the Birria plate and my bf went with the quesadilla Carne asada. It seems their birria is popular because I heard a couple other people order it as well . Birria was good , shredded down nicely and was moist , have to say i found the portions small . My bf absolutely loved his quesadilla, he even more loved the consome (broth) they came with my Birria dish . It's a side of flavored broth that you can dip your taco or meat in. My bf used it for his quesadilla lol . The horchata was super tasty and fresh . Restaurant is a able to host big groups as a group of 8 came while we were dining , large to fit many people as well . My bf has been coming here weekly for his quesadilla with side of consome .

    I had been wanting to check out this Mexican spot for a while, as I heard it was one of the best around South Jersey. I can now confirm that to be true. My mom, my friend, and I stopped in for dinner during Glassboro Restaurant Week in March. We had a wide range of food items, from guac and chips, quesadillas (birria and carnitas), cactus, and tres leches cake. My mom was extremely persnickety to start, but by the end of the meal she couldn't claim to "not like Mexican food" anymore. Still to this day, she wants to go back for a carnitas quesadilla, so I'm sure we'll be back sometime soon. Service was prompt and friendly. Ambiance was no-frills.

    The food is the best , most traditional in the area! The service is always great, helpful and friendly. The decor is bright fun and beautiful. It's worth a trip (or 10)

    Brought Mom for dinner. It's a colorful dining room. She loved the paintings on the tables and chairs. We both enjoyed our food. We had lots of leftovers, which Mom enjoyed. Portions are generous. She liked the quesabirria tacos. So did I. I ordered a huarache with steak and cactus. It was pretty good! It was also delicious for lunch the next day. Save room for dessert at their sweets shop next door!

    This authentic and flavorful restaurant is a staple in the college town of Glassboro. This place is my go to when I am craving food that is tender, juicy, and tastes like it was made by seasoned chefs. Every table receives a free basket of chips and two salsas so this is a perfect place to bring a friend! The service is fast, and the waiters check on you throughout your meal to ensure you are satisfied. The decor is beautiful, and the music is lively. I often find myself looking at the murals during my meal and doing a little dance in my seat as I eat! Overall, this is my all time favorite. I would recommend the Tacos de Birria and the mango agua fresca!

    Went to El Mariachi and Delsea Drive in Glassboro, NJ. The waiter gave us a bowl of freshly made chips and two types of salsa (red and green with a hint of heat). The service was excellent! We ordered for appetizers queso fundito which was very good and tasty. You have a choice of flour or corn tortillas. For our entree we ordered the birria tacos, slow cooked shredded beef with melted cheese filled with of cilantro and onions. Very good and tasty as well. We are very lucky to have a gem of a Mexican authentic restaurant in Glassboro. Good food, excellent service! I would definitely be back!

    Burrito and 8 oz. Side of Rice

    El Mariachi is nestled in a small strip mall near Rowan University off Delsea Drive. I must admit I have never set food inside the actual restaurant, but I have ordered takeout numerous times. Their quesabirria is so good and only loses half a star because the consommé could use a bit more flavor. The rice is light and not salty at all so it pairs well with heavier items, like birria. My husband got a burrito which was the size of a small child and delicious too. All in all it's a great local spot to call when you're craving Mexican.

The oldest is working. When he arrived, Dane came up and asked his name and checked for our online order. He ended up bringing food back for 2 other customers then proceeded to ask "what's your name again?" My husband repeated his name and he went to the back to check on it again. Several more minutes pass and Hailey comes and asks "what's your name again?" Once again, he tells her his name and she goes to the kitchen, comes back and asks to see the order. At that point , he clicked the order on his phone along with the confirmation text and showed her both. She then goes back to the kitchen, comes back out and continues her job as a server with constant eye contact and no interaction. Unbelievably, then comes back for a FIFTH TIME ATP AND ASKS HIS NAME AGAIN. Hailey then pulls up a tablet, finds his name, goes back to the kitchen, comes back after almost 40 minutes total at this point, and asks if we want a refund tomorrow. SERIOUSLY?!? Then has the audacity to become more and more combative like we have done something wrong as opposed to being apologetic. SMH. My husband tells them to make the food instead of a refund because we were actually hungry and have been traveling all day. He comes back to pick it up 10/15 minutes later and was given our "order" by new guy Joel (finally a helpful one). My husband thanked him for taking accountability and attempting to correct the situation. You would think it was over now, right? Food in hand. Headed home. Good. NOPE. My husband had to go back. Our 13yr olds Birria tacos weren't there and neither was the dressing for my salad. Or the extra we paid for. Lastly, I ordered a fajita salad. Aren't the peppers and onions supposed to be cooked/grilled something? See pics. Full transparency, they did try to compensate with free dessert but, this was way too much. And the dessert came before they forgot a whole meal. Oh and when I called back to explain the issues, I got to speak with the sweetest peach - insert sarcasm - Naomi. She spelled her name out nicely for me and then hung up on me, instead of again, either being apologetic or taking accountability for your company. I wasn't even being nasty because I knew we had to get more food that my son would be ingesting. It's not personal sweetheart, if you work in an industry that customer based, be ready to accept feedback. Good or bad.

The building itself is a festive bright Orange color. I was greeted warmly by the owner as I walked on. The dining room had about a dozen tables but I got our order to go. It had an open kitchen with a small bar section so you could eat right where they cook. It was decorated in traditional Mexican decor. Now for the food, I ordered the enchiladas , one with Verde sauce and the other with Molé. The food smelled wonderful as I opened the bag and it looked just as delicious. The tortillas were fresh and homemade and the flavor was on point. The verde sauce had a great flavor and had just enough kick to make me know there was some spice. It was covered in lettuce and cheese and specked with diced tomato. The chicken was moist and tasty. The Molé sauce was deep and rich and had excellent flavor. It came with beens and rice. The beans were light colored and not black beens and the rice was standard Mexican rice. Overall it was really good. I will be going back again. They accepted debit cards but also had an ATM in the corner. The only drawback is that they didn't have any menus to give me so I will have to search that up on the inter webs. A small inconvenience for a wonderful meal.
