A little hard to find but worth the effort. Absolutely delicious food. I order the Pescado Vera Cruz, a wonder grilled tilapia with grilled veggies and Mexican rice. My wife ordered Pollo Enchiladas with mole, rice and salad; also very delightful. Our server was very attentive throughout our meal. read more

Loved that they gave us a giant basket of chips and two bowls of salsa. The chips were hot and light. The salsa was fresh and medium - we all liked it. I got fajitas and they came out sizzling with great flavor. We had great service and the restaurant had pretty artwork. read more

We stopped here last nite since it was close to our hotel. Had a very hard time figuring how to get into,the place, they have a large lit sign but the entrance off the street was dark and we didn't even see the drive to get there. My wife ordered a house white wine and I tried a margarita. Margarita was not very good. Very sweet and I didn't care for the taste. We asked for chips and salsa and they brought them out. We didn't care for the salsa, as it was quite runny and not much taste. My wife ordered a shrimp,taco and said it was very good. I had a Burrito Jurasca with steak. It had rice on the side with a good queso sauce on top. The burrito was good. I'd recommend both the taco and burrito. Service was good. Nice atmosphere. read more

First time here for quick lunch...had the Hawaiian Quesadilla. Pretty good but I like mine cut in triangles & not presented like a taco. Nothing stood out...but menu pictures were nice & overall ambiance was cool. May try again. read more

Always good food and fast service. Street tacos, vaca loca, taco salad, carne asada, and for lighter fare Speedy Gonzales are my go-tos. Warm chips and salsa are brought for you to munch while waiting for your entree to come. They bring more chips and salsa if run out. Everything is delicious! read more

The atmosphere wasn't warm at all. .. it was just ok. Bathroom definitely could use some love. The food saved the day and the review! I ordered the Pollo Hawaiiano. It was perfectly seared chicken with pineapples and onions. The cheese was great and the rice was fresh. Lunch price point was 9.99. Not bad! read more

Food is awesome. My wife had the chimichanga Monterey. With beef chopped up inside she loved it. I had the 3 enchiladas with beef ground with white sauce. Was wxcellant. We had 1 margarita and 1 pina colada and we're real well made. Great service. Clean restaurant. Will be back someday next time in town. Thanks. read more

Be aware if you dine in anywhere in Berea you will be charged a combined tax of almost 9%. A city tax of 3% and a state tax of 6%. I have a disabled father and we are not privileged to dine out often. We have been in Berea for 3 years, maybe I haven't noticed but if you're not use to it and notice this I can see it be very surprising as it was for me. There was an older gentleman with glasses that I believe was manager that handled me being surprised poorly, and brought more attention to the situation then needed as I was just trying to pay and not argue, but he felt like he needed to defend himself which made others patrons to chime in (drunk regulars) as I'm helping my handicapped father get in our vehicle. Again I told the gentleman that I didn't want to go back and forth, but he continued to not only raise his voice but made comments about me and my family to patrons passing by which only fueled the ignorance of the drunks they over served. read more

The food comes out fast enough but the wait staff has 0 patience and they barely speak to you. This is my 3rd time here because their food is decent. Overall. Too expensive and not a pleasant dining experience. My last time going there! Too bad - with a little lower prices and some smiling service it could be a nice place to go. read more

Not for me. If I want Mexican in Berea, El Rio Grande is the only one worth going to, in my opinion. This one is more about the look and not the taste. Plus, what I wanted cost more here. No, thanks. read more

I was honestly afraid to try this restaurant after reading some of the reviews. The restaurant was clean, a nice atmosphere, and the servers were very attentive. The food was excellent as were the margarita and the pina colada we ordered and after 2 drinks and 2 meals our bill was only $40 including all the taxes....I would definitely come back! read more

Mariachi's is excellent! It took us a while to figure out how to get to the restaurant (enter at the Red Roof Inn sign). Once there, we were very pleased. Promptly seated. Our server brought our beverages, chips and salsa quickly as we perused the large menu. My husband ordered the Polo Chipotle and I ordered a cheese enchilada and beef taco Combination plate. The food was freshly prepared and excellent. My husband was very pleased with how tasty and well seasoned his meat was. My enchilada actually had an authentic mole sauce, not that fake red sauce most Mexican restaurants have in this country. The beans and rice were also excellent. I am a salsa freak and I love their blend. It could be hotter to me and I bet if I had asked I might have gotten a hotter version. The atmosphere, the food and wait staff make for a very enjoyable evening out. read more

If your looking for authentic, this ones a hard pass. Overpriced, and under seasoned. My street tacos came on flour tortillas, for some of you that may not be a big deal, but for you taco enthusiasts out there you know that's a cardinal sin that's truly unforgivable. The service was fast and the water was good that's my two stars. read more

While waiting to get a haircut, I visited Mariachi's located off of Chestnut Street in Berea near the interstate exit. The restaurant is tucked away beside a motel and behind a couple of local shops. You can access it through a hidden drive just before the Prince Royal traffic light or by driving through the America's Best Value Inn parking lot. There is ample room in the parking lot and a large entrance area. The hostess sits behind a large desk, the same place you'll return to pay for your meal. She quickly seated me. The restaurant looked a lot busier judged by the number of the cars in the lot; however, since there is vast room in the dining area, people were seated sparsely. A marker board informs customers of the special of the day. For lunch, it was a two-enchilada plate served with Mexican rice and refried beans. The lunch menu was standard fare: burritos, enchiladas, fajitas, and meat combinations topped with veggies and either cheese or colorado sauce. Enchiladas, it was! A floor server brought chips with mild salsa. The portion is huge. I opted for two beef enchiladas topped with colorado sauce. The ground beef inside was cooked properly, juicy, but unseasoned. The colorado sauce wasn't savory either. In fact, it reminded me of, I kid you not, a Mannwich, just with slightly more thinned-out consistency. The enchiladas were topped with an ample amount of cheese. The beans and rice were fine, too. The rice came mixed with carrots, rice, and corn, which made it slightly sweeter than expected too. Good thing the beans were nicely salted; otherwise, it'd be a bit much. With a sweet tea, the bill came to approximately $11 before tip. If I were in the area for lunch time again, I might consider Mariachi's. The service was fine and the server was sure to bring the check quickly in case if I had to go in a rush. I don't know if I would take a special trip. I think you have to try some of the signature dishes to make that decision. All said, all good. read more

off I75 in Berea KY, this café is worth stopping for! My Jalisco Salad was outstanding: lots of grilled veggies with steak, chicken & shrimp in a delicious sauce with pico & sour cream. Jay had a build-your-own lunch plate with two main dishes and Mexican rice plus refried beans on the side. Dessert of fried ice cream was great. Service is prompt, friendly, courteous. Very clean place, & health-conscious. Mariachi's has changed our travel route...we're coming back thru Berea! read more

Half way thru my meal and Just looked over and found a ROACH PAINTED ON THE WALL!!!! This place is disgusting ! I told our waiter And they still charged us for our food ! Has anyone else seen this ? I'm 4 months pregnant and had to run to the bathroom to vomit after seeing that . It was on the left side of the restaurant in one of the booths !!! It doesn't even deserve one star . I'm going back in a few days to see if it's still there and if it is I'll announce it to every one in that place . read more

Mariachis Mexican Restaurant - A roach painted into the wall !!!! - Mexican Near Me - Berea, Kentucky

yummy food, decent wait time, very nice people, great atmosphere.

We absolutely LOVED the carnitas, both as a main dish and in the tacos. If we lived near Mariachi's, we would return regularly for this dish. Amazing! The chorizo tacos were also wonderful. The only thing we didn't enjoy much was the beef enchilada verdes. It would have been much better without the cheese sauce heaped on top. The service was great. Hoping we pass through Berea again so we can get the carnitas. read more

I have a lot of co-workers who love this place and will rave about it. Personally, its average at best to me. Cons: - Food just isn't that good to me. I have friends who LOVE their food but I've def had better. -The servers are extremely nice but when they mess up on your order they suddenly can't understand you. Pros:- - Friendly atmosphere - Nice prices - Fast with your food. read more

Went for dinner with my family here. Not a bad word to say about any of this dining experience. The establishment is clean. The service was fast and friendly. The food was good. I ordered the combinaition and I'd say the tamale I ordered was one of the better I've eaten. Give the place a try if your looking for good Mexican food. read more

We moved here from Texas 5 months ago and were really craving Mexican food. We got delicious queso with our chips, the salsa was good and the fajitas were good too. I was pleased with ny combo plate of taco enchilada and chile relleno. It was all quite good and our waiter was prompt and polite. My only complaint is that i cant get a damned margarita in Berea to drink with my Mexican food. Had i been able to enjoy a margarita or a Dos Equis it would have been close to perfect. Next time i will slip a flask in my purse. read more

We stopped by for a late dinner on the way to Richmond. As a party of 8 and just 30 minutes before they closed, we were welcomed right in and received great, quick service. The food was amazing. Fajitas Nachos Jalisco had the best flavor. Highly recommend. read more

Best Mexican food in town. The service is top-notch, friendly and accommodating. I usually go for lunch and get the Mr. Burrito. read more

Man..what can I say about this restaurant? Oh right...IT WAS AWESOME! Like other Mexican restaurants I have been at in the past, it fit everything that I knew growing up. Free all-you-can-eat chips with salsa, while waiting for entrees. The entrees were definitely generous and well priced. The side, particularly, the jalapeno poppers were comparative to the ones that I grew up around. The actual ones, I remember, were from Dominoes, way back in the 90s. Instilled nostalgia instantly. The fiesta salad was delectable and filling. Perfect portion. YUM!! read more

Food was fresh and tasty. Soup was very delicious!!Friendly staff and very clean. We will come back! read more

Mariachis Mexican Restaurant - a woman eating a meal - Mexican Near Me - Berea, Kentucky

We decided to go after reading the reviews on a cross country trip. Unfortunately, we were disappointed. We had a party of 7, and the food was mediocre at best. Servers seemed like they were having a bad day, and were on the unfriendly side. My combo plate was ordinary, the other dishes around the table were ample, but none of us opted for a doggy bag. The Mexican restaurants in mexicantown, Detroit have set a really high standard for us, and this is one place that didn't come close to any of our hometown haunts. read more

The restaurant hours on Friday are until 9, not 10PM as posted on Facebook and not posted at all on Zomato or Yelp. We drove to Berea for the Hot Air Balloon event but it was canceled so we stopped in here. My daughter was looking over the menu and when it was obvious she was still deciding, the waiter said, "We close at 9." It was 8:44 so she picked something and then for 30 minutes we sat there waiting on the orders and never saw our waiter again. I left money to cover our 1 soda and 2 waters and complimentary chips and salsa. read more

Went hiking then stumbled upon this restaurant when looking for a quick lunch before heading back home. It was a decent mexican meal made with fresh ingredients! They accomodate us with the two dogs on the patio and even brought the dogs some ice water to drink! Staff was attentive and kept our chips and salsa refilled. The chips were thin, crispy and just to my liking. If you are used to super salty chips, you may find these a little bland. Our meals were all considerable portions!!!! The beans and rice were traditional and well made. Actually, I really liked the beans and they had plenty vegetarian options too. My burrito had perfectly grilled and spiced beef and veggies. Sooooo gooood!!! The only unexpected part was the cheese sauce on top of the burrito. It added good additional moisture, but I don't think it is necessary as the ingredients were fresh and tender. There is plentyfull salsa or hot sauce to add additional mositure, if anyone needs it. read more

The restaurant is clean on the inside and there is a lot of space. The staff is nice and they get straight to the point. We really liked the chips, they were nice and thick. So they held up to the salsa well. The food was good not spectacular and not horrible but good. If I was in town I would go back again. read more

They have really good shrimp fajita nachos and my parent's were impressed with some of the more unique offerings like some dishes having pineapple in them. They ate here frequently when they stayed with me for 6 weeks while I had medical rehab. read more

DO NOT EAT HERE IF YOU HAVE FOOD ALLERGIES. The food may be delicious, but we will never know. During a recent visit to Berea, my family, including a 19-year-old with food allergies, tried to eat here. We have successfully fed our child for 19 years and visited many restaurants during that time. On this trip alone, we safely ate at three other Mexican restaurants as we continued south. Last summer, while visiting the southwest, we ate Mexican food almost daily. As we always do when visiting a new restaurant, we informed the staff that our child has food allergies to determine if she could safely eat there (in this case, a simple ground beef soft taco). To our unpleasant surprise, rather than being shown an allergen/ingredient list or speaking to a chef or manager, we were dismissively told that the restaurant would take NO responsibility for food allergies and it was the allergic person's responsibility to know if it is safe for them to eat (of course it is, but how can we determine that with no information?). The staff member we spoke to repeated at least twice that it was not their responsibility and that the burden was solely on us. However, it is the responsibility of the restaurant to know what is in their food and be able to provide that information to customers so that they are able to make decisions. We had no ability to make an informed and educated decision since they refused to tell us the ingredients or even show us labels so that we could read them ourselves. The only thing they could offer us was a plain breast of chicken with no seasoning. At this point, we had zero confidence in the staff's knowledge of their own food and our ability to safely eat there. read more

Let start by saying that alcohol is not served here. Once I got passed that the food was typical American Mexican food with large portion sizes & the flavor was okay. It seemed cheap at first glance however, once we got the bill I was a bit surprised, but that's on me the menu has prices for a reason. I guess we chose pricier than average meals. I am a bit spoiled I guess with my local Mexican joint, but the staff here seemed a bit uptight & not very friendly. read more

They got our order wrong twice and didn't even say sorry. The food was barely above taco bell.

The quality of the food was subpar to Casa Fiesta in Richmond and Rio Grande in Berea. The worst part about it was that instead of using queso on their entrees, they used what seemed to be three cheese blend of shredded cheese from Walmart. It ruined the taste of the fajita nachos that I ordered. Not going to be returning to Mariachis. read more

This was by far, the best Mexican restaurant I have been to. The service was great. We had people who would pass by our table and fill drinks and chips when we were not their customers. We got the steak fajitas for two and not only was it cooked perfectly, the amount we got could feed 4 people! It was absolutely amazing! read more

My favorite Mexican restaurant in Madison County. Lots of room and very bright and clean inside. The food is always fresh and good. Generous portions. Very nice staff. Been eating there for years and haven't had a bad meal yet. read more

This place is disgusting! My wife, me and my my girls are here and ordered a taco salad that came out as taco soup!! (Gross), cheese sticks that were grease sticks, and my daughters ordered bean burritos with nacho cheese that was made from shredded cheese and melted in the microwave!!! And not to mention a gray hair was found in one of their burritos and the waiter said that is none of ours!! Fool who at this table has gray hair!! I would not recommend this place, they are rude and food is nasty! read more
