THE SERVICE was garbage by The girl with the long hair and red strip/highlights. Sat there while they walked around and around our table for at least 20 mins while visiting the same tables 2-3 times without one word, menu offer, or drinks.

No one greeted us when we entered, two employees standing right there but they would not speak to us or even look at us, no eye contact at all, and they left us standing there for a minute or two before finally seating us, all the while refusing to speak to us or look at us. The "hostess", seemingly irritated by our presence, brought chips and said something we could not understand, then walked away and left us sitting there. No waiter approached the table. We felt unwelcome and disrespected, so we got up and left. Not sure what's going on here, but there is much better service just up the road at EL Vaquero Mexican Restaurant, kind and friendly, unlike this place. I do not recommend EL Mariachi based on my experience.

On our second visit I was not as impressed as I was on our first visit. After reading my review…read morefrom about a year ago I ordered the pork papusa and did not really care for it this time around. It was soggy and pretty bland. And the same with the chicken quesadilla. It just had chicken it it, if there was cheese or veggies I could not taste or see them, again kind of bland. My son-in-law did enjoy his chicken enchiladas and it was a huge serving. The chips, salsa and beans with cheese they brought to the table, complimentary were good. Service was just OK. It took about 30 minutes to get our food once we ordered, we had to ask for more water a couple of times. The restaurant is a clean, bright and has a welcoming atmosphere with outdoor and indoor seating. Plenty of parking. Best part of my experience was the virgin Pina colada I had to go. It was served with whipped cream and cherries in a little bucket. It was pretty tasty.

The salsa is fresh and flavorful and the beans were delicious with fresh cheese on top. We had two rounds and were full before the food came! We ordered margaritas next, one jalapeno and one skinny. They are made with reposado, giving them a smoky, deep flavor. Delicious, spicy, sweet. We ordered the seafood tower to share, wanting to try something new. The seafood was fresh and well-prepared. Obviously we were so full of chips we couldn't finish it, but the leftovers will be enjoyed I'm sure. I wish we'd saved room for dessert, as those options looked phenomenal. Next time! Great service, great value. We will be back!

We were able to sit, visit, order and eat, have birhday cake (which we brought), open presents and not feel rushed or pressured tp leave the establishment. There are 4 resturants, a cheesecake vendor and a full bar insde the open air building all sharing the same dining space. My husband and I went back this afternoon for an early dinner . Over the two days we shared, nachos (loaded with bacon, chicken, cheese, and chives) a hamburger and fries, korean bbq and hibachi chicken. All were extremely tasty, with the exception of the Korean bbq, which was just OK. We went back for the hibachi chicken it was good good. You prder at onw of the 4 counters ,pay and are given a number to pur on your table. They then bring the food to your table.

It feels like someone tried to make a ghost kitchen into a tourist attraction. Not a good combo. To steal from another review: who is this for? One positive though: I love that they provide sanitary wipes at each table to wipe it down yourself. Some could argue that should be the server's job- and it definitely should be, but it's nice to be able to do it to my standards.

If they do I will let y'all know.

It is full of soft tofu and fragrant w sesame oil. I do wish they would add more seafood in it, though. You will have to ask for the egg to be added if you want it, too. But, there's just no better version of it in the city currently. I have tried them all! Service is warm and friendly from the same halmeoni/grandma over the years. The last time I was there, fried chicken or fish were not available. But I'll be back just for the soondubu jigae alone!! I also love their seafood pancake and the various sides.
