So so food. The salsa is average. The food is just not better than the other guys. Tried it a few times but always leave asking why we didn't go elsewhere. read more

We went in around 5 and they were not busy. Seated us promptly. Chips and drinks out immediately. They asked then if we we ready and we hadn't looked at the menu. Twenty minutes later we left as they didn't come back to take our order. They did comp the tea and chips. read more

The food was great. Portion size was just right. The food was a great temperature once home (this was take out order). Service was great.

Excellent authentic food with GREAT service. We are regulars whenever we are in town. I wish we had this place near us! They also have a really nice size menu and portions are pretty large. read more

Los Mariachi's is an excellent restaurant!! Not only are their signature dishes excellent in taste and presentation, they have several choices for those who prefer other types of food. Their service is excellent, and they truly strive to make your dining experience very satisfying, no matter the size of the group. I highly recommend this Xenia restaurant!! read more

Great food! Great service! My husband & I went here on a Friday night. We ordered a half picture of Margaritas which were not only a good deal, but were great overall. We both liked their chips & salsa. I ordered the fajita burrito while my husband ordered chimichangas - both were excellent picks! I must mention their refried beans were actually refried beans and not some runny, watery beans as served by another local Mexican restaurant. read more

Very polite, very speedy, very efficient service will have me coming back! Got the taco salad and it was pretty good. The ingredients weren't many but good. The chips and salsa were really tasty and the tea was pretty good too. The price was very reasonable and worthy of a higher cost but let's not do that just yet lol read more

Great food, great service! Kid friendly salsa (adults a pro tip; get a side of tomatillo sauce to add spice & texture)

I have to say if I could have given them two and half stars that would have been perfect. The food is okay, chips are good and service and atmosphere are great. But the taco shells are not home made- they are like the ones in the box at super market. The entrees don't come with any sour cream or guac, and no hot sauce. But the worst thing is that there is no choice of shredded beef on the menu. You can order "strips" of beef, but that sounds gross, the ground beef was DRY and had no seasonings. The chicken was good though. I long for my hometown Mexican food where the sumptuously moist shredded beef taco in the extremely crunchy home made shell, topped with cheese, sour cream and guac... read more

Every restaurant this family owns is awesome. I usually frequent the one in Springfield, but have lunch here in Xenia occasionally. This location is smaller, but the food and service are just as good. These are good people who own and operate this restaurant! read more

We walked in and the host was extremely rude and unwelcoming, wouldn't even walk us to the table but pointed to a general area. The waiter was very nice and the food was fine but try the Springfield location instead. read more

Service was slow and less than friendly. Still would have been okay if food was good. In all seriousness I suggest the owner try some other places (maybe in Dayton) to see how it could be. We won't be back. read more

I moved back to this area from AZ a few years ago and tell you this so you can understand that I have eaten at alot of differant Mexican eateries. I had lunch here a few months ago and was not very impressed. I decided to give the place a 2nd try and walked away less impressed than the 1st time . The chips and sauce were the best thing about the whole meal. I can honestly say I have eaten better Mexican food at Taco Bell. The place seems clean enough with a nice Mexican feel in the decor. The staff was freindly and polite , not a bad location , and with the right còok or chef could be a succesful establishment, but as it stands, I don't see that much of a future. read more

Ugh...I don't understand how some people are happy with paying for reheated frozed gfs food at a restaurant and calling it dinner. I can heat up a lean cuisine for a fraction of the cost and much better taste. This was mediocre. Have some pride in your business...cook something fresh...update the tables and chairs...It felt like I was still in Friendlys when I was a kid. read more

You must be joking. If you think this is 'good food', you have never tasted good food. The chips are ok, the 'salsa' tastes like canned, spiced tomato sauce. The enchiladas leave a lot to be desired - the chicken is decent but just tastes like chicken, no resemblance to Mexican flavor. The beef enchilada reminds me of a Maid-Rite loosemeat sandwich in a tortilla instead of a bun. The enchilada sauce tastes like weak kechup. I have been here 3 times, I realize that every place can have a bad day so I always try to be fair - but the food here is tasteless. Go down the street to the other Mexican place in Xenia, you will be much happier read more

I visited the area and was brought here by family who are big fans of this place. It's a simple, no decor kind of place that makes it clear that they're about the food, so it's a good thing the food is so good. Our family table (that included three kids under the age of 5), was all happy with their meals. I had a shrimp dish that made me very happy, and everyone else had sampler entrees with the usual combinations of enchiladas, tacos, fajitas, etc. All reports were positive. Good Mexican food for being in the middle of a small Ohio farm town! It's authentic, but approachable authentic, unlike some of the more extreme items I've sampled in Mexican neighborhoods in big cities in the U.S., like SF's Mission District. Margaritas are practically given away here. Bring a designated driver. I had a classic margarita on the rocks with Grand Marnier for about $3. Oh, and the food was solid! I shall return when I'm back in the area. read more

If you are seeking Authentic Mexican--this is not it-- it is poor Tex Mex food. I am from S. Texas and lived a few miles from border of Mexico, where my family and I would have dinner at least twice a week. Mexican food is distinctly different from TexMex with few commonalities. This restaurant serves a poor version of Tex Mex. The main ingredient in Tex Mex is cheese--NOT American Processed Cheese or white canned cheese sauce-which is the main ingredient used in this restaurant. I understand that Ohio residents LOVE their white canned cheese sauce served at the local mexican restaurants--but you will not find it at any authentic good Tex Mex restaurant. For example, Queso Fundido or Flamaedo (a mexican and Tex Mex dish) is served in both Texas and Mexico with REAL Oaxaca or Mozerralla cheese topped with Chorizo--NOT canned processed american cheese! Enchiladas, which are NOT found in Mexico in the traditional sense that we know them do not have cheese sauce --either in Mexico or Tex Mex (in Mexico enchiladas are served cold with Goat Cheese and a homemade pico de gallo (fresh tomatoes, cilantro, onions, etc.) (in Tex Mex, enchiladas are served warm, baked in the oven with melted REAL(Mozerrala, Monterrey Jack, Cheddar) cheese and homemade tomato sauce with a blend of spices). If you truly think that cheese sauce is delicious you will save a lot of money by going to the store and buying yourself a can of white cheese sauce or velveetta, pouring it over a warm corn tortilla and topping it off with canned tomato sauce and warming it in the microwave--because that is what this restaurant is serving for their enchiladas. Their Queso Fundido, is basically canned white american cheese sauce with chorizo on top. Most of their dishes consist of canned white cheese sauce poured over them. read more

A great place to get margaritas! Went here to celebrate my birthday. The price of a 1/2 pitcher of frozen margarita was insanely reasonable. Plus it tasted amazing. The good wasn't to bad either. The only down side was that the seating is limited and was kinda cold in there. Other than that it was good. read more

I go here more then any other place in Xenia !! Food is always delicious and great service !!!

The food is good, but they are extremely slow. It takes forever to get food. The most recent visit, we waited an hour before the food arrived. Then it takes forever to get a check and get out of there once you're finished eating. The food is decent, it's just not worth the time. read more

At first glance, the food may look like pretty standard Americanized Mexican fare, nothing special. But something about it is really exceptional. It's just really fresh and flavorful. Not authentic, not inventive, but truly delicious. It's a cozy, cheerful, brightly painted place, with good service, great food, and excellent margaritas. Added: I notice "Rob E" only gives one-star reviews. So I've added one more star (originally gave 4) to make up for his childishness. There's no accounting for taste, but in this case, he's flat out wrong. Not everybody likes American-Mexican food, but no reasonable person can accuse their food of being "tasteless." It's very flavorful and fresh, whether it's to your taste or not. With repeat visits, I've noticed the main entrees are much better than individual items or combos, so that's my only caveat: stick with the main items. read more

Wanted Xenia place, so tried this place on an early Friday evening because we noticed a line waiting to get in a few weeks before. Was disappointed a couple of weeks before at Acapulco so thought why not. Really liked it. Friendly, fast service, food was very good (I had chimmy & wife had fajita burrito) & half pitcher of margarita on the rocks was good (not watered down) & decent price. Total bill was $35 (add a tip on top) which is same or maybe a tad cheaper than Acapulco. I have to say El Toro is still our favorite in the area, but this place is well worth your time and money. read more

Good place to eat in a small town. Friendly staff and professional service every time.

I visited this restaurant for a family member's birthday and we had a pretty good experience. For me, the food was top-notch. The chips were delicious and the salsa had a nice flavor. I got a dish with chicken and chorizo (I can't remember the name) and the meat was quite flavorful and the melted cheese added the perfect touch. The other 6 people in my group all had similarly positive things to say about their food. It did lose a star for service. They were pretty slow to refill water glasses or to bring things that were requested (silverware, lemons for water, to go, etc). They also said they would bring ice cream and a birthday hat for our family member's celebration, but that never came. We had several people (five, I think) bring us food/drinks and at least two of them appeared to be the primary server, so perhaps they'd have more success of the server remained consistent. In any case, well worth the time and I'll definitely be back the next time I visit Xenia! read more

Absolutely the best Mexican food I've ever had. The decor is simle, welcoming, and comfortable. The staff is great and always a pleasure to be around. Wait time is always minimal! The food is to die for. My boyfriend and I used to live in the area and we would go about once a week. Now that we have moved about an hour and a half away, we still visit on occasions. The chips and salsa are pretty much amazing, we joked about just going there to get the freebies. I've had the margaritas here, which are perfect. We can not find a single Mexican restaurant that compares to Los Mariachis and we wish they would open a spot in the Cincinnati area. Best dishes: steak nachos fajita and the burrito grande. read more

One of our favorite places to get Mexican food in the area. ( It's where we go when we want to go upscale of Taco Loco.) My favorite item here is their chile relleno; it's just like I used to get in Albuquerque. We also like the Quesadilla Fajita, Quesadilla Texana, and Mariachi Chicken. I often get the special of the day, and I've yet to be disappointed. Prices are very reasonable, and service is good. As to the taco shells not being home made, sorry, but this is Dayton. I love home made tortillas, but I mostly get them in Houston when I visit my daughter. read more

This is my favorite restaurant, no doubt. I've been going since I was really young and we still go there often. I go there for my birthday every year as well. Such a fantastic place with amazing service and amazing food. This is the only place that has the best chips and salsa. Sometimes the salsa will be spicier or more mild because they make it fresh every morning. It's pretty much the same every time, but sometimes it's a bit different and boy do I love it. The chips are perfect because they have no seasoning on them. They're just plain, which makes it so I can enjoy the salsa entirely. I never understood seasoned chips. Anyway, try the cheese quesadilla and/or the tamales. So good! Also, I usually order two cheese quesadillas so it's pretty much one whole quesadilla because they fold them in half. Anyway, enjoy! read more

I love this place...Great Enchiladas, Fresh Salsa & my favorite, Mariachi Chicken. Its simple & delicious...nothing fancy.

Went to dinner here with family after a long day of driving. On this night, it was probably a mistake. The restaurant was busy, leading to a really long wait for food. This was despite being seated almost immediately upon arriving. Pros: the food was very good. A little spicy for the kids, but I enjoyed my chicken chimis. I wouldn't recommend the guacamole, however. The manager also comped the meal, acknowledging that the service was unacceptable. Cons: it took 45 minutes for our meal to arrive. After 30 min, half my wife's meal arrived (the hot plate for the fajitas, but no tortillas, and no beans, cheese, etc). I had to find a waiter to (eventually) get the rest of our meal. The manager also didn't stop by to apologize, but waited for me to approach him with the bill. I'm probably going to give them another chance, since Dayton doesn't have a lot of (good) local Mexican options. If the parking lot is looking full, though, I'll probably find a different option. read more

Whenever we want Mexican food, this is our go to! Much better than any chain (Don Pablo's, abuelos, etc.) I haven't had any dish I didn't like. We order carry out often because we have young children, and the food is always good when we get home! Carry out orders come with chips and salsa too. read more

Friendly staff, delicious food, great prices. For once, it's mexican food that's actually cooked and served by mexicans. Fresh, high-quality meat. I had the chicken tacos with a side of rice and beans. I couldn't finish it all, and I only spent about 10 bucks (including a margarita). They also give you a complimentary hearty helping of chips and salsa pre-meal. Yummmm. read more

The large man at the checkout, who I suppose would be called the "host", lacks any hint of courtesy, politeness or customer oriented service. He gives off an arrogant, condescending vibe in person and on the phone. And the last time I placed a carry out order, they didn't include the guacamole that I ordered but was charged for, so I informed him of this on my most recent order. He then proceeded to argue with me about it, saying I should have told them the same day because otherwise people could claim anything they want. The lack of logic in this statement didn't seem to be an issue for him. Even though he felt it just to argue with a repeat customer over a $1.50 cup of guacamole, he obliged and said he would give us the guacamole complimentary this time... We did receive said guacamole, and upon returning home realized he charged us for it as an "open food item" to disguise that it was actually a charge for that item. I don't suppose I need to mention how dishonest, disingenuous, and inhospitable this was. Nevertheless, he can keep his $1.50, and I will keep all the hundreds that I would have otherwise spent there in the future for a more deserving restaurant with a host that doesn't scowl me out the door. read more

I could eat here every day. The food is wonderful...lots of flavor and very fresh ingredients used. From enchiladas to burritos to fajitas and taco salads, all of the entrees have been mouth watering delicious! I can't get enough! The Mexican staff provide fantastic service and deliver the meals in a timely manner. I've eaten at Acupulco's (the other Mexican restaurant in town) and it was good too...but then I tried Los Mariachis and there was no going back to Acupulco's. The prices are reasonable, the dining room is clean and festive, the staff is great, service is fast, and the food is fantastic...that's 5 stars in my book! read more

Pretty authentic food and drink. Good service. Only one visit but will go back for sure.

The food is good and the employees are friendly. Prices are reasonable. I've been to this place many times and never been disappointed. Last time I was there, the sausa was not up to the normal high quality and that's the only negative comment I have. read more

I absolutely LOVE this restaurant. The staff (minus one woman) are always friendly and helpful. Me and my best friend eat here quite frequently on our girls day out. They remember you and the food comes fast! I will always recommend this place! read more
