Mariachi's is a " must" for us, "several times" while we are on the island! The menu is extensive and very tasty. The staff are so friendly and the view is wonderful! read more

After our hike in Kilauea, we drove back to Lihue in search of lunch. When we spotted Mariachi's Mexican Cuisine restaurant we decided to check it out. The menu is extensive with your choice of tacos, enchiladas, burritos, and so much more. They also have a nice collection of margaritas. I ordered the mariachi's chimichanga with shredded beef that was served with rice and refried pinto beans. The complimentary basket of chips and salsa was delicious and held us over until our meals arrived. We all really enjoyed the food and the nice relaxing ambience of the casual eatery. Service was great too. Perfect for large groups. read more

Mexican place in Lihue? Interesting. When we are here for over a week, can't eat fish every day right? We decided to check place out. I started with a small strawberry margarita. Yum! We each ordered the craft tacos which comes in 2. My wife went with Ahi. I went with mahi mahi tacos. We both loved ours. It's interesting to eat ahi tacos but it was great! We were in and out fast. Nice service. Not very busy for lunch. read more

Flavorless food and salsa. Servers were nice at least. Coconut man recommended it, ignore him lol

Service and food were both amazing! It was quick and delicious. Drinks were strong and highly recommend going to happy hour (2-5pm)! Have both fountain Cola-Cola and Mexican Coca-Cola available. Chips and Salsa included, they also brought out 2 hot sauces for our meals and both were soooooo good. We were just visiting from California, but next time we come to Kaua'i we will be back for sure! read more

Aloha, I have ordered chicken nachos They gave me beef nachos by the time I got the order, It looks like slop cold disgusting I threw it away .. I ordered french fries, they gave me french fries with steak and white sauce and guacamole, which I did not order this I don't even eat steak. It was so disgusting. I can't even believe they're still in business. It came out about $84 with everything I ordered .. I ordered this through Uber Eats, I called the restaurant lady picked up I told her I got all the wrong order I don't think she believed me at first, but thank God everything is recorded on Uber Eats .. she asked me to come and she will give me the right order I wasn't able to come that's why I ordered through Uber Eats. She was no help at all not friendly she didn't give 2 cents ... It was so disgusting. I don't even think pigs would eat this!! Never ever again!! read more

My family and I are vacationing in Kauai and we wanted to eat at a Mexican restaurant. Given that we live in Northern California (home to some of the best Mexican food in the US) we weren't expecting much. Mariachi's is a good spot if you want average / decent Mexican food and good service. Service: The staff here were supper courteous and they were attentive and helpful to our needs. Food: In general we weren't expecting much given where we live but we all liked the food. Here is what we ate: - Steak street tacos: My older son who is super picky had five of these and he ate every morsel which is to say he is picky and he LOVED IT. - Grilled Chicken Burrito: I had this. I would say it didn't have much of a kick but I did also only get chicken, refried beans, and pico de gallo inside. I had it smothered in chile verde - Spinach Enchiladas: My wife is a small eater and she said she liked it - I know she did because out of the two she had 1.5 (for reference usually she eats one). - Children's nuggets and curly fries: The curly fries were disappointing but my 9 year old liked the chicken nuggets. He didn't care for the fries (I tried them and didn't like them either) but he did finish my wife's rice and beans! Ambience: I'd say this is not a restaurant I'd say you go for ambience. read more

We love Mariachis--it's always a great place for a delicious meal! Our favorites are the carnitas plate and the carne asada tacos. They're also very accommodating with my dairy allergy, which I really appreciate, and they make a great margarita. My family and I have been coming here for the past couple of years, and it's always the same friendly staff who make us feel welcome every time. We always look forward to our next family dinner here. Another great thing is that they're able to accommodate large parties if you call in advance, which is always a big plus! read more

Food was just all right. Someone needs to teach them how to wrap a burrito. Service was not good. They tried to upsell me on the fish tacos claiming that because the Ahi was fresh that day, the meal was more expensive than what the menu indicated. They get a lot of foot traffic because of people staying at the Royal Sonesta. But I would avoid this establishment. read more

Nice view. Food tasted fresh but lacked flavors. Servers were kind and personable; getting our orders took a while (it wasn't super busy) and food took a while. read more

The food and service was excellent! The mole is very good. Ceviche, nachos, quesadillas, shrimp taco salad, and chili relleno was excellent. The only down side is the traffic noise. We had margaritas and they have the strongest drinks on the island. I had a Bozal skinny margarita. My favorite! read more

We had such a great lunch here. We've been several times but today I ordered something I haven't tried before and now that I've had it I'm gonna order it every time it was so good! Tacos Governador. -10/10 We had awesome service to from Margarito. He's the man! read more

We picked this place because it was within walking distance of the cruise ship! We had a pitcher of margs, shrimp, and chips & salsa while we enjoyed a nice view of the mountains. Service and food was okay (kinda expensive too) but the location is great read more

The food was freshly made; rice and beans were authentic; like you would find in LA or Phoenix. The outdoor seating is great; especially in the evening with the cool breeze. Great service and the food came out really quick. It helps if you have someone in the party who speaks Spanish but not required. The meals were good, not great. Everyone in the party loved their meals, my fajitas were cooked just a tad too long, the chicken and beef were dry. We celebrated a birthday and they do not disappoint - sombrero's, singing, and noice makers! Overall, if you are looking for a break from the resort meals, Mariachi's will fill your Mexican food itch. read more

Great service, Food came super fast, and the food is some of the best mexican food i've ever had. 100% would recommend.

We will never be back nor recommend Mariachi's to any of our friends. My wife ordered the two shrimp tacos and when delivered to the table they each had only 3 "salad size" shrimps and mostly shredded cabbage. My wife complained about the small and only 3 shrimps per taco. A management person got her a whopping 10% discount (about $2)! I ordered the taquitos and received 2 tacos, each cut in half for $22.00 The taquitos were over fried and very hard. Find the nearest TacoBell and enjoy. read more

We (party of 2) came for dinner at 8ish and were sat after a party of 18. Yes 18 people- all wanting separate checks. Didn't think anything about it. The server said she would put our food order in ASAP to get around the large party. Another group of 4 came in after us and about 30 mins later, that group got their food. The party of 18 all got their food. 1 hour later, we asked "where's our food" and they said "you didn't get your food?" Well, no we didn't. They asked "well do you still want your food?" At this point it was well after they actually closed so we said we're leaving. The manager was a total jerk and said "well you're not paying for anything... " what exactly would we be paying for?! Totally horrible experience and zero customer service. I guess since people are limited to options near the Marriot Vacations hotel so they can treat people like this. So it's nearly 10pm on a Sunday with zero food options now. We're shit outta luck now so will have to wait u to breakfast to eat now. Do not recommend if you actually plan on eating. read more

We came here for dinner our 3rd night in Kauai on Sunday 30th. We got sat right away, outdoors to which honestly was probably are best view during a meal since we got here. They brought us chips & salsa, not too hot so the kids could dig in also. My son got the surf n turf burrito and devoured it. My wife got crab enchiladas and loved it, I got the flautas dinner plate, and my daughter a burrito as well. Food & service were both good, I'd come back for sure. This spot is located in a small strip mall across the street from the Royal Sonesta resort & Dukes. read more

The food at this establishment was a nice change of pace for our trip to Kauai. It was nice to change it out from fish and pulled pork to a nice Mexican meal. They were a little overwhelmed with customers so the service was a bit slow, but efficient food was very good and the ambience with exception of the street noise was very nice. I definitely recommend this place and I would go again. read more

Margarito is awesome! He took care of us and is the definition of "aloha spirit"! He went above and beyond to make us feel like family, especially for my MIL's birthday! (Sombreros, lights, and noise makers were all such a surprise! But made night so special and something to laugh about later. LOL) Awesome food, and service! Ceviche was so refreshing and tasty , fajitas (sizzling platter), burritos (smothered 1/2 red 1/2 green sauce) and the 5 street tacos were ALL delicious! Ask for the hot sauces cause they won't disappoint! Flan and churros are always our go-to desserts! And of course, you need have a margarita or two when eating Mexican food! Order it was a pitcher, cause why not? Lol. read more
