I have been here a couple of times. The food is ok. The burrito is good & the shrimp dishes are good. Do not order the guacamole, its funky! BYOB, friendly-staff, good service. read more

Came in for dinner on a Sunday evening, the place was pretty empty. We ordered the mariachi guac which came with chips and cheese on top. The guac was okay and the there was barely any cheese on the chips. I had the flautas with a side order of rice and beans, it was very bland and the flautas were also okay, not much flavor. My daughter and husband had steak tacos and they were also okay according to my husband. The servers were nice and the food came out quickly. read more

The chicken nachos were homemade delicious. Also the shrimp fajitas were wonderful. Small BYOB and packs a punch!

Yelp- you outdid yourself again. This place is a small, corner eatery was simply delicious. Generous proportions, very tasty and flavorful. Something for everyone. We ordered fajitas, the steak, empanadas and the nachos and everyone, including the kids had a rave reviews of this place read more

One of the best Fajitas I ever had. I ordered steak fajitas and it had so much flavor. The portions were huge. The chips were right out of the oven and great. The place is on the smaller nice but had decent decor. The service was good. Update from my last visit 11 - 8. Ordered my usual dish, steak fajitas with no cilantro garnish. Regarding cilantro , it's not like I don't like it.. I can't swallow it without gagging. I tried to like it however, it is just one thing I can't eat and enjoy the meal. Anyhow the server forgot or the chef forgot to read the ticket and garnished it on the steak fajita. I immediately said I cannot eat this because of the cilantro. She took the dish to the chef (visible) and I was hoping they would make me new dish, however I saw him pick it off with his fingers.. And give it back to me. She didn't ask me if I was allergic to cilantro, she just assumed I didn't like it. Furthermore, while I was eating the meal it crossed my mine constantly what if I could taste the cilantro and that the chef picked the cilantro off my plate with his finger tips. Food is ok. read more

Tonight was the first time eating here. Let me start off and say get there early (we went at 5pm) because the place is small and by the time we left every table was taken. We started off with chips and salsa and asked for guacamole, which was so fresh and yummy. Me and my boyfriend split the chicken tortilla soup which had a nice light flavor to it. Not heavy or thick which I thought it might be. I had the NY strip steak which was yummy. It had peppers and onions on it and was cooked just right. My boyfriend had the Skirt steak special which was also cooked just right for him and he loved it. Both came with a side of rice and beans. My daughter had the steak quesadilla which she said she should have just gotten a steak like us. I tasted hers and I thought it was pretty good. I'd like to go back and try more, and I am thinking this will be our new spot to go get a nice bite to eat. Plus, it's only a few blocks from home! It is a BYOB so next time I'd like to make a batch of margarita's to go along with the food! read more

Really nice place, had a late dinner recently with my boyfriend and we ordered chicken and beef tacos and they were the best tacos that we've had, freshly made and the flavor was great. I will definitely go back to try out new dishes. read more

I've been here a few times and love the food...but NOT the wait. NOT a place to grab a quick lunch if you work during the day. If you have more time to wait around, I suggest you go for dinner. Today being Cinco de Mayo it would have been smart to hire additional staff, instead the 2 waitresses couldn't handle the crowd and it was a long wait. I had to keep getting up to go to the bar for items like salsa...my order...etc. I saw a lot of people walk out, or just sit there waiting. read more

Chicken nachos are really good. I didn't like the carne tostadas but I'm sure they would have been good if I had them with chicken. Wish we would have known it was BYOB that would have been cool. Staff was very friendly and attentive. read more

Holy Mole indeed!!! Thanks to the weekly Yelp, our search for authentically delicious and local Mexican food is over!! This review is for takeout, so I can't comment on service, for now. We tried the chicken tacos, empanadas and enchiladas with mole sauce and for all three, all I can say is YUM!!! The tortillas for the tacos are fresh and spot on, as was the filling. Everything was very fresh and tasty. Portions are generous and the price is very reasonable. Can't wait to try the rest of the menu!!! read more

The food here is amazing. Authentic flavor and not your commercial grade Jose Tejas or Chevy's. The mole and green sauces are perfectly spicy and dont take away from the flavor of the food. Having been here several times, either Fri or Sat nights there can be a wait as the restaurant is a bit on the small side but it is ALWAYS busy. That should tell you all you need to know. We have never had a bad dish. All of the carnitas dishes have never faultered and are a must. Enchiladas, burritos, empanadas served with the ruce and beans with manchego cheese are great. One of my faves is an ice cold horchata and Mariachi does not disappoint there either. They definitely make one of the best I have had. This is a BYOB and they do sometimes offer frozen drinks. Give Mariachi a try next time you are in the mood for Mexican fare. read more

If you find yourself in the neighborhood, Mariachi Grill is an excellent choice for a very good meal. I'm from Texas and tend to avoid Mexican restaurants outside my home state. The staff at my hotel have directed me to a few local dining establishments that turned out to be exceptional so, when they suggested Mariachi Grill I felt certain it would be good. Upon entering, the smells coming from the kitchen confirmed this was a good choice. It did not disappoint. The tortilla chips are crisp and the salsa has a decent kick. I ordered the Mariachi Mole Chicken with rice and black beans. All are perfectly prepared and seasoned. The mole is a rich, dark red/brown color with the perfect blend of chocolate and poblano pepper flavors and just thick enough to hold tight to each delicious tender morsel of chicken as it passes from plate to mouth which is good because I don't want to spill a drop. The rice looks like the traditional Mexican rice we get in Tex-Mex restaurants in Dallas but here they toss in a little jalapeño or serrano pepper so it has a bit of that creeping-up-on-you heat that was a nice surprise. The black beans were also well prepared and a perfect balance to the spicy rice and mole. Up next, one of my favorites, house made tres leches cake. The cake is a little more course and firm than I'm accustomed to but the flavor is spot on and the light drizzle of caramel sauce provides the perfect finish. Service is friendly, helpful with recommendations and attentive. The only down side is they are BYOB so if that matters to you stop at the liquor store in the next block and grab your beverage of choice on your way. read more

Just brilliant. Tasty, authentic Mexican food, at a reasonable price. The Waitstaff is fast and friendly. GF had tacos, and I went for the mole. Some of the best mole I have had anywhere. So much flavor. Everything is fresh, and it shows. My only gripe would be that they don't have alcohol, but that seems very common around here. A rock-solid 5 stars. We will be coming back often. read more

Wanted a yummy Mexican night at home and stumbled upon Mariachi Grill. It was the quickest delivery service anddddd the food!!! Steak and chicken is seasoned to perfection. And bonus *** they're containers are reusable!!! *** definitely ordering from here again! read more

Went back last night. Not much to say. Still top notch! Still 5 stars, & still the best Mexican BYOB place around! As usual, the service was superb & food prepared fresh. I've recently changed my go-to dish. I now order the steak fajitas every time I go. My goodness! The most mouthwatering, exquisitely cooked, and flavorful steak fajitas I've ever bitten into. The bar has been reset in my humble opinion. The sizzle, the smell, and the taste are unmatched by any other fajita platter I've had anywhere else. Looking for a meal that satisfies the taste buds & also leaves you with the itch to return the next day?...Then Mariachi grill is the place for you!!! read more

Waited 40 minutes to be seated. Finally after being seated we waited some more to have our order taken. The waitress wasn't friendly!!!I the food was cold and lacked flavor. At the end of the night I felt rushed out. The bill came it was expensive. I was disappointed!!!! read more

Finally got around to trying out this place as it was recommended to us. After a good round of golf on a Friday night, this really hit the spot. I ordered for takeout and picked it up. There's not much room to stand in the restaurant if you're picking up but waiting so give them a little more time than their estimation just so you don't have to awkwaedly stand next to people while they eat their meal. Personally, the volume in the restaurant was a bit louder than what I would find enjoyable; you'd have to speak loudly in order to have a conversation. Fortunately, there is a table or two out front if you feel the same way. The food itself was delicious. It's a bit pricier that your typical Chinese food takeout but you're definitely getting your money's worth in size and flavor. I would definitely go back again. Fajitas for the win! read more

We had lunch here for the second time and it was even better than the first, which was great! Food is super fresh, flavors and Heat are well balanced, portions are generous and the servers are very nice. Definitely some of the best Mexican I've had locally. It's not fancy or big. Chips come out piping hot. I ate two more of the tacos (port in is 4!) than I was even hungry for because they were so very good. read more

A last min decision to do dinner last night lead us to this little gem .. a very quaint place a BYOB and very clean .

We even got to meet the owner rego last night a very nice caring happy man we will be back for more.. I highly recommend this place read more

May be the best Mexican place in North Jersey. We had the Chicken Toastadas and an order of guacamole for appetizers. Both were fresh and delicious. The complimentary chips and salsa were fresh and the salsa was among the best I have ever had. Steak, chicken and shrimp fajitas served with all the fixings were very tasty and I took half home. Big portions! Dessert was yummy: sweet plantains with sweets tended condensed milk, whipped cream and a little bit of raspberry or strawberry? glaze. This place is a must try for good Mexican food in North NJ! read more

100% real authentic Hispanic food! Absolutely nothing bad to say about mariachi grill! The sweet plantains tasted so good and so fresh on top of our entrees. It is a BYOB, so don't forget to bring your own read more

My boyfriend and I had dinner here. It's a tiny casual place. We had some chips and salsa. They were good and not greasy. Toastados were really yummy...good guac crisp chip and nice ratio of veg to meat. So good and filling that I couldn't eat much for dinner. I ordered beef fajitas - decent portion and pretty tasty. My BF had the special steak which was well seasoned and cooked as requested to medium. Wait staff was nice and helpful. I'd go back but next time I'll bring my own tequila! read more

Food is good & fresh! A little pricey for a regular dining out experience but worth it

Amazing Mexican food!! Was craving some and I googled places in the area and this place came up. The host/waitress was sweet and quick with getting drinks and our order. We had the guacamole and chicken nachos as an appetizer and they were delicious! Everyone on my party had some type of burrito and I had enchiladas with the red sauce. The red sauce was a little spicy for me but it was still amazing! I'm so happy with my new find and can't wait to go back! read more

Tried for first time last night and was fantastic. Fresh, flavorful food...shrimp was divine and guacamole fantastic. Loved it, will be back! read more

Chicken was pretty bland low on salt..used to be more flavorful before..sauces were just ok.. disappointed this time.

My favorite enchiladas. I recommend the green sauce. A little pricey but the portions are great so im not complaining. The staff is very friendly and helpful read more

I am a loyal customer to Mariachi Grill & I am completely obsessed with their churasco and fried icecream. First off, i always get the churasco even though they give a small portion of rice and beans with it, it is consistently good and never disappoints ! The tostadas are awesome too! They come 4 in an order and deff filling ! The fried icecream is to die for. Who knew you could fry icecream? I will always recommend mariachi to everyone and anyone! read more

Very fresh and delicious. The prices are worth the quality served by the restaurant. I order Shrimp Mexicana and it came with two faced grilled shrimps cooked with onions and tomatoes. Love the way chef grilled a complete jalapeño and served it as a side. The service is not that quick which is understandable for the freshness and the quality of food. I will be trying many more things on the menu and keep it posted. Suggestion for the restaurant - Need to add some fish entrees in the menu read more

The food is delicious. Had quac, salsa, chips, and chicken mole. The mole is fantastic. Friends had chicken and steak fajitas which they loved. Portion sizes are generous. Atmosphere is casual. Service was excellent. read more

Best mole in north Jersey!! Great food overall. Well worth the half hour drive it took to get there!!

We just ordered and we loved everything! You can tell that the food was made with fresh ingredients and a lot of love. So delicious !!!!! The guacamole was perfection and the churros were the perfect ending to a great meal read more

Excellent food and great deals for my kid who comes at lunch from school it's an all-around great place!

Good options on the menu and decently priced. We had the Jarritos soda which area must. They provide complimentary chips and salsa. Entrees we had the New York strip (well cooked and flavorful), the strip steak (a bit salty), the beef quesadilla (excellent), and the burrito. read more

Ever since it opened it has been great. Outside Area amazing! Thanks you! Support this business !

We love this place. Best Mexican food around. Small restaurant, but the food is cooked fresh and the chips and salsa are to die for!
