Food was good service great looking forward to being able to eat here often after get moved to Tazewell.

I don't speak Mexican you get a lot of food for your money but it's rental food had a bad pain almost didn't make it home before blowing up the toilet No more Mexican food from there for me read more

This place has excellent Mexican food. I had the fajitas Acapulco which is steak, chicken, chariso, shrimp on a bed of green and red peppers with sautéed onions. There was so much flavor and the portions were huge. Enough for 3 servings. So if you're in New Tazewell give this place a try you will not be disappointed. Before I forget the prices are very cheap for as much food they serve. read more

The food was good the service was even better they check up on you every 2-3 minutes to ensure great service and the restaurant on the inside is decorated very well and you can feel it great establishment and even better servers read more

The food at this place is always fast, good and so is the service. I recommend giving it a try.

This is a great place, I have never had a negative experience. Their food is good and that's the reason for the 4 star review.

I had to use a napkin to soak up water from this "quesadilla" that had absolutely 0 cheese on it. Last time I ordered a dish here with shredded chicken with the same issue so I ordered beef this time hoping it was an issue just with the chicken. Then when we went to check out there were 5 people waiting around with no one working up front. One lady was waiting on an order, one waiting to be seated, and the rest of us were waiting to check out... Finally a man came up to the register and when the lady waiting to be seated said she was waiting for a seat the worker just stares at her and says "ya..." and keeps staring... eventually she seats herself. Not only is the service terrible, so is the food. I don't know why anyone eats here honestly... From a Texan, I'd rather starve than eat this pig slop while being treated like cattle. read more

El Mariachi Mexican Restaurant - A "quesadilla" ??? - Mexican Near Me - Tazewell, Tennessee

I used to be a huge fan of this place. Literally used to be my favorite place in Tazewell. Unfortunately, the last time we went my wife got two beef tacos that were still pink. We explained and sent them back. Accidents happen after all. The next two tacos sent to her were also pink. Not sure what's going on there but I will never be back. Food borne illness is serious. read more

The service was really good, our waiter was really nice, we got seated as soon as we walked through the door, the waiter was quick, and it was nice inside and clean, but the food is not very good, the rice was dry and tasted like it wasn't cooked through, the tortilla for the burrito was very dry, the sweet tea was extremely stale. read more

Ordered dishes were exactly what was ordered & delicious.Drinks were good.Server & other staff are friendly,efficient & check back to see how everything is.Setting is nice,nicely decorated. read more

Service was terrible. Terrible. They don't look at you after they bring your food let alone ask if you need anything. The food was bland. The ambiance is like a cafeteria. I would have preferred a frozen Mexican dinner to this place read more

Me and Sapphire took her old ass papaw and mentally unstable mamaw out on a double date here a few weeks ago. Miserable time, but definitely not due to the food or service. The fajitas are the best I've had and the beef nachos were exquisite, according to Sapphire. Mamaw and Papaw just had cheese dip and chips, making an absolute mess of our table and themselves. Really embarrassing for me and Sapphire. These old fogies can't even feed themselves anymore. I swear, our poor waitress had to clean up a mound of chip crumbs and cheese drippings. I told Sapphire, she should've let the Duke whip up some tomato and mayo sandwiches for them and left their old ass's at the house. Anyway, the staff was very attentive and again the food was excellent. It's a good man that must run this place, for sure. Funniest part of the evening was taking Mamaw and Papaw back home and their old hound dog attacking Papaw's cheese dip infested crotch. All I can say is it's a good thing he wears a diaper, because old Buster really went to town on his nuts. Took me and Sapphire both to pull him off. Let this be a lesson to you old folks that can't navigate food from your plate to your mouth. Please put a napkin in your lap when you eat cheese dip. Later y'all! #thedukeapproves read more

Every visit has been great, excellent food, and really good service. The staff makes good suggestions and treats us like friends. Best Fajitas in town! read more

My wife and I went for dinner there last night at 9:30 pm . We have been there several time, but the last few times customer service left a lot to be desired. Last night took the cake! We got there at9:30 on and were seated, the waiter told us that we had to tell him what we wanted and did not even give my wife time to look at the menu and said the grill was shutting down. Forgive me, but they close at 10 pm. But the last few times we have gone there it was as if it was a real hassle to wait on us. Oh! Food is great but attitude there and customer service has gone steadily down hill. I will go back in hopes service and attitude will improve but if it does not, I will go to their competition. read more

Have eaten here twice within the last month. Food is very good but customer service is very weak. A customer service attitude adjustment would serve them well. Chicken soup is very good as are the beef enchiladas. Overall service is mediocre. read more

Promptly seated, food quality decent, small portions, drinks not refilled basically average. read more

El Mariachi Mexican Restaurant - business card - Mexican Near Me - Tazewell, Tennessee

Worst Mexican food I've ever had! I got the mozzarella sticks for appetizer and that also tasted bad. What's crazy is that I spent $15 and I could have went to Taco Bell right down the street and spent like $5 and would have been 10 times more satisfied then I was here. Would not recommend to anyone. read more

Honestly, if I could give zero stars I would. WORST RESTAURANT EVER! We went there for dinner tonight with a group of seven people. The server wasn't super friendly but no big deal. We ordered water, beers, some sodas and queso. We got one water (for 7 ppl) after three requests from the now down right rude server. No queso. Our husbands ordered another round of Miller lite draft and noticed that the second round were two completely different colors with the lighter color having no carbonation. It looked and tasted watered down. Our food came out all at different times but we were a big party so we understood. Here is where things get ugly. It was very obvious literally everything we ordered from enchiladas to tamales were prepackaged frozen and looked to have been microwaved to a boiling hot temperature. I ordered chile rellenos but it never came out. I asked about it and the server kept saying it would be right out. After my second inquiry he pointed it out to me... On the same plate as my microwave tamales.. See picture. After I scraped the cheese off I found two 1 inch soggy green "peppers." The server was so unhelpful and unhospitable -at one point even pretending to not speak English- that we were forced to talk to the 'manager.' I explained our weird beer situation and my confusion about the chile relleno. First he told us we didn't know what Mexican food was- to which we replied we were from Texas and absolutely knew what Mexican food was.. He then told us to quote "We don't serve real Mexican food" and that I should have asked the server "what kind of chile relleno" they served.. Are there multiple options?! I asked him to comp the chile and the watery beer and he told me no way and that I needed to "take it up with the beer company." I'm quoting him a lot because at this point our entire table was in disbelief at what he was saying! We paid and left hungry. Undoubtably the worst restaurant experience we have ever had and the rudest wait staff I've encountered. Small town or not, food should be served warm, edible, as described and not watery. Also, portions are laughable and tiny. AWFUL! read more

El Mariachi Mexican Restaurant - "Chile Relleno" - Mexican Near Me - Tazewell, Tennessee

Best Mexican food in this county,I recommend chicken burrito with red and cheese sauce, and Pollo de Jefé.

El Mariachi is a great restaurant, nice traditional decor, friendly waiters, and amazing food. Their cheese dip is the best You will ever eat, it is out of this world! All their food I have tried was great, and the place always seems clean. My family eats there all the time, We abslutely love it, and the prices are fair enough to eat there several times a week. It is also located in a great spot in the middle of town. Everybody loves it that I know, I would definately reccomend. read more

Not sure why everybody had bad experiences here (maybe it was run by different management or something) but I've been here 4 times while visiting and will keep coming back. Not from here, but I haven't been disappointed with anything yet. The salsa is the best and so are the chips. We went across the parking lot to old town grill just to be different and regretted it the whole time. I almost didn't come here because of the reviews but checked them out on google and they had lots of praises there. So glad I gave them a chance. read more

Went here with the family for the first time last night while visiting our son. The food and the service was outstanding. My only criticism was the temperature of the restaurant. It was very cold. I had the El Mariachi Fajitas. It has steak, chicken, shrimp, mushrooms and pineapple in the mix. I'm willing to go back for this alone. Everyone else was very satisfied as well including my grandson who is a very picky eater. Definitely recommend and if warmer will get a fourth star. read more

Been there at least 10 times in the past 5 months and found the food is always served very hot, the service is about average, the portions large and very tasty! read more

Staff isn't friendly, food is overpriced and not as good as other local Mexican restaurants. My wife was very rudely told that vaping was not allowed... And she wasn't even vaping. read more

Typical mexican food. Absolutely horrible service. You'll sit there for 10 minutes while 5 people walk by you and refuse to take your drink order. read more

2.5 stars. Portions decent. Salty entrees (which were just ok - standard Americanized Mexican with refried beans and rice doused in cheese). HUGE, cheap drafts. Excellent service and queso! read more

I like them. They had some problems for a couple of years, but have gotten better lately (past several months). Food is always good (by the way, mozzarella sticks are not "Mexican" cuisine), sometimes service is slow but they always seem to take good care of us. Been there in a party of 12 and been there with just two of us. Usually good experiences. Good food. read more
