Food good, service good, ambience good. This place should fine another name for the restaurant. If you think there's a mariachi! You're wrong. There's no mariachi any day. No much to talk about this place just didn't find it interesting. read more

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with big smiles and friendly service. This family owned restaurant has absolutely authentic and incredible food - I recommend trying their chiles rellenos and tostadas de bistec; they are delicious! Also, the on house tortilla chips and salsa are yummmmmy. read more

Looking for a delicious, inexpensive Mexican restaurant that stays open late? Look no further than El Mariachi. This spot is only frequented by locals, and you'd only really hear about it through word of mouth. Most of the patrons here are Latino and some of the staff are monolingual Spanish speakers, which speaks to its authenticity. We came here on a Friday night around 11pm. Mexican music was playing from a digital jukebox and there were about 3-4 tables of patrons getting their taco fix. We started with a couple horchatas (small $2.50, large $5), which were a great accompaniment to the flavorful tacos. We ordered 6 tacos between us ($3.50 each): 2 chorizo, 2 tripe, and 2 al pastor. This was my first time here, and I found everything to be tasty, but my friend who's a regular here found the tripe to be less crispy than usual. The tacos are quite hefty, and come with a side of radishes, 1/2 a pepper, and limes. If you live in the area, it's a great spot to check out, especially after a night of drinking. read more

El Mariachi Restaurant - 3 tacos, $3.50 each - Mexican Near Me - Woodside, New York

The customer service is so bad, if you're not Hispanic they'll just look you up and down like you're an alien or something. Especially if you're not Hispanic they will even charge you extra, I asked for 2 PLASTIC forks and the woman was trying to charge me $1 for each one. Like the food doesn't even look that great tbh( the meat was a little too dry for my liking). There's way better restaurants further up Roosevelt that hire better staff because this place was just not giving read more

Its so good to find a great and inexpensive taco place in my neighborhood! The best thing is that they are open until 2am, 7 days a week! That's even later than the Chinese takeout in the area. Tacos are $3.50 each. I ordered 2 times using the yelp link that goes to Grubhub. -Taco de Enchilada- This is my favorite taco. The pork is marinated in a spicy sauce and it has the right amount of fat on the meat. Taco de Carnitas- This is also very good. The pork is very tender and moist. Taco de Al Pastor- Didn't like this one as much. The meat was very dry and the texture wasn't very good. Taco de Oreja- This is pig ears and it was ok. The cartilage had a very crunchy texture. I have eaten Chinese food with a crunchy texture like tendons and such but it just doesn't work in a taco. I probably wouldn't get it again but for $3.50, it's worth a try. You might like it. The restaurant also serves beer and there was plenty of tables. I didn't dine in so can't go into detail about the service. From my limited interaction, the wait staff was pleasant and my order was ready in 10 minutes. read more

El Mariachi Restaurant - Chilate de Pollo - Mexican Near Me - Woodside, New York

The service has improved a lot and the food is good as always. I definitely recommend this place.

I received my home delivery and noticed the order I placed as either wrong or really bad food. The part of the order was Carne Molida Burrito (this means ground beef). The way this meet looked was as if it was scrapped from the bottom of the pan or a type of steak that was so well done tough.. unsure what happened but tasted awful. The other items ordered was great (Flautas de pollo, Quesadillas and Churro read more

El Mariachi Restaurant - Carne Molida Burrito - no good.. can't tell whether it's really tough steak chopped up or scraped up chop meat from the bottom of a pan.. - Mexican Near Me - Woodside, New York

We like their quesadillas even though they are wet quesadillas. They have a delicious guyabana con leche drink and the grande version is a good bang for your buck. Their fajitas are on point and the burritos hit the spot! read more

I was not impressed with the food. It was average at best. Service was EXTREMELY slow. I feel like we were treated differently because there we were, 2 Asians in a Spanish town getting Mexican food. Water took more than 20 minutes to get to us. Waitress did not want to come take our order. And food took almost one hour to get to us, while all the other Spanish customers that came after us got their food first. And it really wasn't that busy! 4 tables! We had the guacamole with chips. Average at best. Needs more lime. Chicken quesadilla came with rice and bean. It was decent and it was shredded chicken instead of the whole pieces of meat. My husband had this shrimp dish (see picture) average at best again. Not impressed. The only thing we liked was the free chips and salsa. Salsa was a bit sweet with a kick. Overall food was average 3 stars. Slow service and took way too long for food, minus one star. I won't return to this one again read more

Beware! I was 1/2 way down with my food till I almost choked with this plastic wrap that was blended with the lettuce!!

Authentic. Delicious. Service is great. Hands down the best Mexican food around. Make sure to try the Michelada. You won't be dissapointed. read more

Why do reviews havr to be long for you to reassure yourself they are good reviews? I wish i could keep this short. Plain and simple? Do not underestimate this little restaurant. Basket of chips and salsa was served after taking our order which consisted of 2 chicken tacos. 2 enchilada entrees and 2 mexican sodas. 36 bucks for us 2. The best part of all? Food was Excellent! No more no less. Excellent i tell you. More than 5 stars! read more

Love it for takeout. Favorites in order: Tostada Enchilada Chorizo Taco Carnitas Taco Burrito Enchilada Al Pastor Taco That's our go to order - they send it with giant hot peppers, radishes, limes and two delish hot sauces on the side. One thing to keep in mind, if their phone is busy you will get a "phone number is not in service" message - had me worried they had closed so I walked over and the owner explained it's what happens when their phone is busy and to just keep trying. read more

Fast service, excellent menu, and delicious food at reasonable prices. I've recently moved to the neighbourhood and have had a lot of disappointments trying to get solid Mexican food that was watered down, and El Mariachi hit the spot. I will definitely order again and recommend this restaurant to others. read more

They have the best cemitas, it is so freaking delicious. Their tacos are good as well. Probably the best place to get Mexican food. Highly recommend this place to anyone that loves Mexican food. read more

Mexican food so so. It's not very authentic. Not very professional owner. Yelled at me over a phone order. He says he can't take credit cards over the phone. Why? And why put it in your flyer. How can I pay cash. I don't have an atm at home. He says that I can place the Oder after I pay and come over. So much for free delivery. So that's two misleading advertisements, was really frustrated and I think I saw a rat the last time I was there. Watch out Deprartment of health and hygiene. read more

Love Mexican food! This is one of the places which is very delicious, reminds me of Texas! Brings me back memories. I usually get the the cheese enchiladas but today I decided to get vegetarian tacos. They give free chips and Salsa which is really delicious! And the staff is very sweet but they took 40 min to come out with our food which I was dissatisfied read more

El Mariachi provides a pretty good carnitas cemita and an impressive cecina taco. The highlight of the trip, however, was the spicy chicken soup. I couldn't identify what's in it but I can strongly recommend it. read more

Steak sammich wasn't anything special. The beef taco was tasty. These queens Mexican restaurants use a weird taco shell that's not hard shell and yet it's not a soft tortilla shell either. They love adding the parsley though, which is good for me since for some reason I love parsley. read more

I ordered from here, and the delivery man greeted me by repeatedly saying, "you live too far away". What am I supposed to say to that? He was speaking to me as if I had done something wrong. If he felt my apartment was too far from the restaurant location, he should have taken it up with his manager, or seamless - not the customer. Had the restaurant called me to explain that they can't deliver to my area, I would have completely understood. Rude interaction with the delivery man aside, the chicken in the flautas I ordered was incredibly dry. I appreciate that this place has good reviews on their food, but I would not order from here again, especially knowing the employees take out their frustrations on paying customers. read more

Ordered a lengua taco, tripe taco and a pig ear taco for delivery. Everything was delicious and perfectly seasoned. Generous amount of meat.

Very good food. Great barbacoa. Juicy, tender, a mouthful of umami. also, smooth guacamole. big portion.

A little pricey and Rude, rude, rude! I have been there before for dinner and the service is not so good, I think the servers only smile amongst each other. Well, There are not many Mexican restaurants in Woodside so I decided to call this restaurant since I had ordered a few times before. During the weekend they take up to 1 hour for delivery which is ok I guess since like I said there's not much Mexican food around here. I placed my order with the lady and asked for a total. When I hung up my mom told me it was way more than before, so I called back to cancel my order (it was about 2 or 3minutes NOT 15). And, what do I get? A lady asking me to wait only to tell me that they started making the order. So I said I once again that I just didn't want it and I was not planning on receiving it. I couldn't tell if it was another lady or the same one because I can hear them speaking in the background. Anyway she Yelled at me with an attitude saying "so then, we will never take an order from you again". Too bad! Now I have to stick to a place where they actually have good customer service and food as good as theirs. read more

One of my favorite mexicam restaurants in the area. They are very authentic so if your looking for tex mex go somewhere else.

I came here with my friends on a whim a few months ago and we've been dreaming about it ever since. Great service, and amazing food. When Covid hit and NY closed most of everything we were sad to see it gone for so long but once it was back up delivering we were quick to order. The two hot sauces to choose for your meal are good, but be wary of the red one, it's hot!! I can handle heat, but it was way to much for me. Still enjoying my meal tho! Also it's worth noting that sometimes Mexican delivery can be hit or miss, but everything was packaged really nicely and translated really well to at-home dining. We'll be back :) read more

Horrible food period, flavor and quality food was beyond bad, didn't have to eat my entire meal to know that the food was old and bad cook never again read more

I love the enchiladas in these restaurant been getting them for years my favorite Mexican place

This review is specifically for their tacos; they come with guacamole in the middle, turnips and lime on the side, and taste better than anything I've had in a taco stand anywhere in the city. Plus they're cheap, especially if you're used to Manhattan prices! They also have some regular karoake performers who put Ricky Martin to shame. read more
