I liked it here after visiting Rosas Tortilla Factory(yuk). El mariachi has a nice bar with good happy hour drinks $3 for draughts and bottles alternating on weekdays. You get chips and salsa as you sit down. We were pretty much ignored by the staff who pretended to not know the happy hour rates until a local told us within earshot of them. Now I wish I had ordered their $8 carnitas plate Monday special instead of going elsewhere. Overall good place for Midland for which I have low expectations read more

Bad service! Sat us down and never came back to ask us for our drink, we had to wave a waitress down she got my husbands order and walked off ignored me so my husband had to tell her what about her drink and she laughed all dingy so yeah service sucks ! read more

The waitress was very attentive and on her game. Food has a great taste and seasoning to it. Not bland at all. Friday 7.99 special was the chicken with cheese sauce served with rice and beans plus tortillas. It was so good. Their queso is the best I have had by far in midland. I recommmend this place and will be back. read more

It was our first time in Midland and, I gotta say, El Mariachi was so good it might have been worth the trip alone! My husband and I stopped there on the way back from a road trip to West Texas and New Mexico. The staff were very friendly and attentive. The place looked spanking clean and still new (I looked and it seems to have opened in 2022). The food was amazing and the portions were generous. Everything we ordered we loved, and my husband also gave me two big thumbs up on the frozen margarita. This was a perfect Tex-Mex experience. El Mariachi nailed it! read more

This is all we ended up eating cause of how bad the food was. We were in the mood for Mexican, this was our first time here, and we left disappointed. The only thing good was our appetizer which was queso, and my horchata drink. Every single plate we ordered was so salty or just flavorless. Overall was a 5/10, it's edible but would not make me return. read more

Had to stop because I was full and have a long drive. But the food is true Mexican food and extremely tasty. Service was great! The atmosphere is family. Definitely our place when we come down. read more

Things happen and places can have bad days but charging for a plate that the meat had turned rancid is absurd!!!!

The food was absolutely amazing! I had the Agujas, my husband had the Tampiqueña and our friend had fajitas. All wonderful! The salsa was perfect! We didn't have the most attentive waitress, which is why I gave 4 stars. The restaurant itself was very clean and comfortable. We will for sure be back! read more

Great place! Great atmosphere, staff, and excellent food and BIG portions! We will definitely be back with friends and family.

First time trying this place and the reviews are spot on! The food was so good! I got the carne asada & Hubby got the fajitas. The carne was so tender & seasoned well the portions are huge. The service from the staff was great! The 4 stars is because Hubby said that the shrimp was not seasoned. Everything else was delicious read more

Food was cold. They charge for refills. Check your receipts because they will overcharge. Place is small.

Seriously unbelievable Tex-Mex. The beans were the best I've ever had, as was the Carnita meat that I ordered. I ate with 12 other people, all Latino and Hispanic, and they fell in love with the place. I will come and eat at this restaurant every time I'm in town from now on. It was truly, a wonderful experience for a foodie read more

Food was ok coming from a Mexican who cooks authentic Mexican food. Queso was not that great. Service was not great went on a Sunday with my family. They do charge 18% gratuity fyi even if service sucks. Michelada was not the best. They also have hidden atm fees where they charge me 4 dollars to use my debit card at this restaurant. read more

The food was excellent. It was fresh. Iwould probably not order the green sauce on my burrito again. The pastor was one of the best I've had. It had a hint of the pineapple in the background as it should. The service was excellent. Ebet was our server. She was attentive and thorough. The ambiance was Mexican themed with mariachi music playing. It was loud but not too loud as others have complained of. We enjoyed our visit here as we are passing through. read more

Great fantastic happy hour. Large portions. Friendly staff. My go/ to Mexican restaurant in Montpelier, VA

The food was great here. The portions are pretty large. We would eat here again on our next trip to Midland.

Food 5/5 service 5/5 ambiance 5/5 The moment you walk in you'll know the food is gonna be great. As expected when walking into a mexican restaurant you want to feel that Hispanic side jump out of you. This restaurant does just that especially with the music playing they don't miss. You sit down and right away you get your menu and are thrown with a variety of Hispanic deliciousness from quesadillas to chicken beef fajita plate sizzling in front of you. You can't go wrong with alcohol so while you're enjoying your food you can and should be be sipping on a margarita on the rocks. My favorite thing about this place is the vibes. I walked in and only saw two tables with people sitting there just chillin having a good time once we left they were still there and that's because of the ambiance. The type of music the playing just puts you in the mood to relax and kick it with some buddies. Once again 5/5 will be coming back again. read more

I'll definitely be going back for dinner sometime this week to try some of the bigger dishes! read more
