Veggie Burrito is fantastic! Staff is friendly!

Disappointing. After reading most of the reviews here on Yelp my partner and I decided to try these guys out tonight. Why anybody would go here is beyond me. This place is a 14 minute drive away from the Chambersburg Area in Trenton which has some of the best Latino Cuisine available in Central Jersey. The interior of this restaurant looks like it just barely passed the Health Inspection test, the counter is on wooden blocks and has a month worth of dirt under it. You order at the counter which also has the chips and salsa bar. The chips are heavily fried and you get two tiny cups of salsa with your order. Anything beyond that cost 40 cents extra. We ordered the Enchiladas and Tacos. Both dishes were lukewarm and tasted as if they were warmed up in the microwave. The Enchiladas had a funky taste to it. The food comes on plastic plates and you have to help yourself to plastic fork/ knives. Portions are small and we paid $23.50. No free water, you have to purchase a bottled water. No condiments on the table either and our dishes needed some. Oh and this place does NOT honor Yelp coupons! Maybe evenings are not the best time for this joint but as I said, drive less than a quarter of an hour and you get some of the most amazing, fresh, high quality, seasoned, Guatemalan, Ecuadorian, Mexican food in many places in Chambersburg for less money, with table service, on real plates and as much Aqua as you want. read more

Mexican Mariachi Grill - Nachos - Mexican Near Me - Ewing Township, New Jersey

See all

Best Mexican your going to get in the area. I usually make the trip to Tortugas Mexican Village in Princeton but I decided to check this place out when I moved here about a year ago. The staff is so friendly and nice! You can tell it is authentic Mexican food. The surf n turf burrito is THE BEST-every time. I also don't mind the complementary chips and bomb assorted salsas read more

Javier let me try a sample of their birria taco and he absolutely made my day doing that for me! The taco was hot, juicy, and mouth watering, it was delicious! This restaurant is very clean and I will definitely be back for more. I highly recommend Mexican Mariachi if you are craving some birria tacos read more

Good place. Had the mariachi plate twice and it was a good amount (a lot) of food. Everything was great.

1st time eating here. Chicken enchiladas and fish tacos were delicious. Excellent portion sizes. Will definitely stop in again.

I always pass this place on my way to another boring Wawa sandwich. So I finally decided to pop in and see what it's all about. I decided to get the fajitas. I was not disappointed! The chicken, peppers and onions were great. The tortillas were nice and hot. My friend got a burrito and was equally happy with their decision. All in all, don't write this place off. Check it out when you have a craving for Mexican food close by. read more

I'd ordered from them before. No Taco Bell for me. Mama and I had some tacos and beans and rice and loved them. Jonathan and I went to the Ewing spot (there's another at TCNJ) in person and discovered that its cozy, friendly and the food is fresh, authentic and full of variety and flavor. Jonathan just made me anxious by being a complainer and a little princess-y. But it was while at trivia night at the River Horse Brewery this week that I really fell in love with Mexican Mariachi Grill. Most folks walked in with pizza boxes. I saw a tub of KFC. But when my makeshift team, my new friends Jen and Vicki (collectively we're "We Drink and We Know Things - any Game of Thrones fans out here?) asked what type of food we'd get, I said, "I know a great taco spot not far from here. If IS Taco Tuesday." We used the Grub Hub app and ordered two tacos with beans and rice each. I knew how great it'd be, but my new friends could not believe it! They crowed and they praised. They praised and they crowed. I brought home the extra guac! There are always veggie options and there are enchiladas and burritos. No trendiness or corny commercialism, just straight ahead great Mexican fare. Oh! I was just told by a Facebook friend that there's another in Hamilton near Risoldi's Market, which is on Quakerbridge Road at Sloan. read more

Everytime I visit my friend in Ewing, I make it a point to stop by Mexican Mariachi. It's a small family business that serves authentic Mexican cuisine. The lady at the front is always so friendly and polite! I've been here three times and have tried the tres leches cake, steak tacos, chicken nachos, spicy pork burrito and beef burrito. The tres leches cake is enough for two people to share. It's sooo good- super moist and just the right amount of sweetness. At first i thought my two steak tacos wouldn't be filling enough but I was pleasantly surprised that it came with a small side salad, rice and refried beans topped with cheese. The chicken nachos were to die for! The chips were crispy and not soggy. It came in a very large portion topped with refried beans, cheese, pico de gallo and jalapeños. The contrasting textures and flavors were so addicting I almost neglected my tacos. I also tried the spicy pork burrito stuffed with lettuce, sour cream, rice and beans. It was simple but so good! The shredded pork was tender and had a smoky flavor. I couldn't detect any spiciness but that was quickly resolved with their medium volcano salsa. The beef burrito was a little disappointing. I expected it to be barbacoa but it was bland ground beef instead. The white rice was also very plain. I had to drown my burrito in spicy and green salsa to compensate. They have complimentary chips and salsa on the counter so you can munch away while waiting for your order or ask for a small bag to take some to go. The prices are very fair for the quality and amount of authentic Mexican food. I'll definitely come back whenever I'm in the area! read more

Nope. Use to be the spot to go to get a decent quesadilla. Not anymore, the steak was extra fatty, pieces of gristle, no thanks. Not for that price.. also skimpy on the rice and beans. read more

It's a hole in the wall place. But a ton of great food for cheap to reasonable prices. Had a chicken burrito made the way I wanted. Better then chipotle. The chips are not my style, Mexican style. I prefer tostitos though. Guac was good. Overall good experience and great people. They have a huge breakfast burrito for 4.95, equivalent to chipotles size. For price, amount of food and quality greats place. Place could be updated and cleaner, but not saying it's dirty at all. read more

Mexican Mariachi Grill - Mexican Near Me - Ewing Township, New Jersey

This place is really gone to the dogs. I ordered the steak fajitas And the meat was dry ,old and Tasted like the frozen mix from dollar tree. read more

The service is excellent, the menu shows a variety of entries for all clients, and the food was delicious. A restaurant to recommend, without no doubt. read more

Came in at 745 to order food. Waited in line while the couple in front of me ordered food. Stood in line while the cashier came from out back to turn off the open sign. Go up to the counter and wait 2 minutes before the cashier finally came up to me to tell me the kitchen is closed. It's now 751 and I'm sitting here in the parking lot writing this review as the couple has walked out with their food and I've yet to see someone come lock the door. Extremely rude and unlike the last time I ordered food from here. Unlikely to win back my business at this point. read more

Excellent tasting food. Prices are very fair and dining area is comfortable. It can get busy during lunch time (11:30am-12:30pm), but I think the wait was worth it. read more

I used to LOVE this place... I just had a very "odd" meal from there the other day. I ordered what I thought was supposed to just be a burrito, with a side of beans, salad and rice. What I got was a gigantic "thing" rolled in a flour tortilla (the size of a child's Nerf football). It also was cold and clearly had been sitting for a while. In addition, when I paid with my debit card, I had to select a tip amount! For a pick-up??? So I paid the least amount offered (15%) for the privilege of a picking up a giant glob of cold stuff in a soggy tortilla. VERY disappointed. read more

Didn't want to write this review, but hopefully they can get there act together. This place used to be great, but the last meal I had kinda put me over the edge. I think their tacos are great overall, but majority of the other items have been slowly been downgrading in quality and inconsistent. The last taco bowl I got was underwhelming. No avocado, the dressing that came with it was Italian dressing (I thought this place was serving Mexican?). On top of that the taco bowl tasted stale like its been sitting around and chemical tasting. The complimentary chips and sauces that are usually there were all gone and not replenished. Not sure if it's just this location or others, but they need to keep the quality consistent. I've seen better days, just feels run down now. read more

Best Mexican in the tri-state area. So serious. Not even close. Try the tacos - they are beyond delicious

The people in the comments saying this is authentic are white. Staff is grumpy and one of them (Maria) curses in Spanish at the customers but I guess no one here has noticed that. The food is hit or miss and overrated. Staff is clearly overworked and underpaid. read more

food was absolutely amazing the food was hot and fresh made to order Luis at the front was very helpful and nice...the atmosphere is simple clean ....it's a gem outta go check it out read more

Really good Mexican food.... So much, I took 1/2 home. That says slot, I'm a big eater. Clean,quick service. Used Google to search and it did me no wrong. Spot on. 5 stars! read more

Yummy Burrito. Chips and salsa rock. Beyond slow in service for pick up. I mean crawling. read more

Good food, realitvely inexpensive and decent variety of options.. the dining area seems just right size and sized well, not too close together. Perfect meal right before catching a flight 5 minutes from Trenton Morris airport read more

Good food for a cheap price. Good bang for your buck. This is my go to Mexican place when I need something quick and cheap

This place is really pretty good. I can't speak to whether or not its "authentic" Mexican cuisine, but I can say it strikes a great balance between good food and decent prices. I tend to be pretty simple with my orders (only get meat, rice, and cheese) but it's always really good/flavorful, and you get enough that you feel full afterwards. In my book that definitely makes this place worth a visit.....or several. read more

This place has excellent mexican food. The burito's are huge and flavorful at a good price. The nachos are really good as well. Highly recomend. read more

I love the the Speedy Gonzalez! Beans and rice are consistently delicious. Solid Mexican take out. Never been to the town center location but the original Ewing shop won't disappoint. read more

The food here is always pretty tasty, and the prices are pretty reasonable. On the downside, the staff isn't always the most accommodating and the setup of the new store doesn't make all that much sense, but the food never disappoints. They make a really good tres leches cake! read more

Finally a chance to jump on and review this amazing location. I grew up in California and am always searching for a replacement that meets my demand for amazing mexican food. Previously, I would have driven 45 minutes to Freehold, NJ in order to have El Meson but with the discovery of Mariachi I no longer have to drive more than 10 minutes. The food is absolutely amazing and tastes like home, to me. The location and atmosphere is exactly what I would expect and desire. Its not fancy, its casual, simple, and inviting. I have had everything on this menu over the past few years and I have to admit everything is amazing. That said, the carne asada burrito continues to be my go to option. Enjoy! read more

The best authentic Mexican food in this area. Good portions and prices are reasonable! read more

Mexican Mariachi Grill - Mariachi Plate - Mexican Near Me - Ewing Township, New Jersey

The food was ok. In these difficult times with labor shortages, this establishment went beyond to make things better for the customer (me). This is why I gave them an extra star. read more

Decent Mexican food not a big fan of their chips though. Huge portions and decent prices

We tried calling in to place an order ahead of time but after trying multiple times and them never answering the phone, we gave up and just drove right there. We got there at 7:40pm, 20 minutes before they closed. My husband walked up to the door behind another couple to go in and order our food while I sat in the car. The open sign was still lit. After several minutes had passed, I assumed my husband had placed the order fine, as common sense would say if the kitchen wasn't accepting orders anymore, they should have immediately told my husband when they saw him walk in. Ten minutes pass and he comes out looking pissed. He tells me they took the order of the couple that walked in just before him, then walked to the window and turned off the open sign and disappeared as if he wasn't standing there waiting the whole time. It was another couple minutes until they came back to the counter and tell him they aren't taking any more orders. Are you serious? It's not like they didn't see him standing there waiting for TEN MINUTES. They looked at him, knew he was there and chose to ignore him. Pandemic or not, that is NOT how you conduct business. Thanks for wasting our time. Train your staff how to properly pay attention to customers and how to have proper customer service and maybe while you're at it, how to use a phone. I would have been more than understanding had he just been told upon entry that they weren't taking orders anymore (but then why did the couple literally right in front of him get to place their order?) but here we are. What a pisspoor second time going (well, trying to go) here. Never going back. read more

Absolutley the best Mexican option in the area for the money! Great value for comida sabrosa!

¡Ay Carumba! I really need to finish my reviews. 3 stars for the food 1 star for friendly staff I've been going to this little hole in the wall for the better part of the last year and can say they do somethings well and others not so much, but even when they are off I just toss on more salsa and roll with it. The Good: Steak, Pork, and Vegetarian burritos and tacos. Their salsas are handmade and tasty although their chips are generic and kind of bring the salsa experience down. Their desserts are also handmade on site and I've seen many a person roll their eyes back in delight from their flan and tres leches cakes. The Bad: The quesadilla's are made with orange lab cheese which makes them super grease bombs and kind of detract for the flavor. The chips as mentioned before. If they would switch to queso fresco and home made chips this place would be have to move to a larger location. The Ugly: The mob that descends on this place everyday around 11:30. Seating is limited to about six 4-tops inside and a few outside. Companies often call in large orders and it's not uncommon to see people eating in their cars. read more

I ordered a veggie burrito and after a few bites I bit into something hard. After spitting my food out, there was a small screw. I will never eat here again. read more

salsa was very good and different than Nova. I wish they open another location near us! read more

Good, quick food. Guys at the counter are nice but usually aren't listening or quick. Pretty authentic Mexican food
