This was our first visit to El Mariachi and we visited during restaurant week. It's a seat yourself…read moreand there were plenty of seats available on this Wednesday evening. The service was great and our waitress kept our drinks filled, chips loaded. Our table ordered the queso fundido, barria tacos, and a steak bowl. I didn't finish the tacos as they were very greasy and the meat had loads of fatty pieces. The bowl was decent tasting and a good sized portion. I doubt that we will go back based off the quality of the food. I would recommend the apple pie churro as that was really tasty. If you are looking for a place to go for some drinks and maybe some appetizers with friends, this might be your spot.

I rarely say anything is outstanding but the shrimp were perfectly fried, not overly breaded or tough. And the portion size was more than generous! Their fries were the perfect texture of crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. Sooo good! My husband ordered chicken quesadilla and said that they were the best he's ever had. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. If I had to say anything negative, it would be that the silverware was on the cheap side but the food was so good, it didn't really detract from the dining experience. So glad we decided to go there. It is definitely my new go to place for shrimp. The only thing missing was the ocean.

Ever since my experience at zipps I have had a rough time adjusting to the grill setting and sometimes panic a bit when eating at various restaurants. I walked into this grill fully expecting a rough time on my end and all of the trauma rushing back like a water stream on a windy day; but the second I stepped into the grill I felt a overwhelming yet relaxing weight get lifted off of my shoulder as if I had been drowned my whole life and just got a moment to breathe at the Big Lick Tropical Grill. As I venture through my life I see more and more I do not fit in many places and often have a rough time; for the system society has built is only a cookie cutter for what a man should to be. I walked into the Big Lick Tropical Grill with an expectation, an expectation that I would have a good dining experience and tasty food. but the more and more I look back at my time from Big Lick Tropical Grill the more it seems that there is something truly special about that place, something I have never felt before such as a second of peace or a genuine human. I would like to say this is the best grill I have been to and ever will go to, if only i could move to the small town of Lynchburg but my rockstar lifestyle prevents me. Big Lick Tropical Grill has changed the way I view the world and perceive human interaction, from the bottom of my heart I love this place and highly recommend

A place like this sets an expectation before you even sit down. Between the name and the way it…read morepresents itself, you expect a certain level of care. We came in for breakfast, missed the cutoff, and ended up ordering lunch instead. That shift ended up defining the experience. **FOOD** At the table, we had three different sandwiches, and each one had its own issues, but they all pointed in the same direction. I ordered the Handcrafted King Burger. The name suggests something made in-house, or at least something with a bit of character. What came out looked like a prefab patty. Perfectly round, evenly flat, with the kind of surface you usually see from a frozen product. Flavor was fine, but it didn't match what you expect from a brisket burger. The toppings were standard, lettuce, tomato, mayonnaise, but the lettuce portion was skimpy and the tomato was sliced so thick it threw the balance off. I ended up cutting it down myself just to make it easier to eat. The fries were fine. Nothing wrong, just nothing memorable. My wife ordered the French dip. It came out dry, which is the one thing that sandwich really can't afford. It didn't seem like it had been dipped at all before serving, and the meat leaned overcooked. The au jus on the side helped once we started using it, but by then you're correcting something that should have been handled in the kitchen. We ended up swapping meals, which usually says enough. My mom went with the BLT, and that was the most disappointing of the three. The bacon was overcooked to the point where it broke down into small pieces instead of giving any real texture. It ate more like bacon crumbles than strips. The tomato had the same issue as mine, cut too thick, and needed to be adjusted at the table. She did like the house chips. Those were crisp, not oily, and easily the most complete item that came out. Across multiple plates, the Swiss cheese stood out, and not in a good way. It had the look and texture of a lower-end processed slice rather than something you'd expect from a deli. It showed up more than once, which made it feel like a standard shortcut rather than a choice. **SERVICE** Service was steady. Our waitress stayed on top of refills and checked in without hovering. Orders were taken correctly, food came out in a reasonable time, and nothing got missed. **AMBIENCE** The space is clean and organized, and it's clear they take care of it. It's a little smaller than it looks online, but it works. Nothing feels out of place, and it's comfortable enough to sit and eat without distraction. **CLOSING** This feels like a place that might do one part of the menu better than another. Based on this visit, lunch didn't hold up. Too many small things were off across multiple plates, and it adds up. We'll likely come back and try breakfast, but there's not much here that would bring us back for lunch. **RATINGS** Food: ** Service: **** Ambiance: **** Overall: *** Personal Disclaimer: I value small, independent restaurants and want them to succeed.

Another surprising thing were the food portions! They definitely know how to serve a meal. Everything was delicious!

A place that comes recommended and stays this busy sets a certain expectation. Not perfection, but…read moreat least a level of care that shows up on the plate. Walking in, it felt like that expectation might be met. The room was full, the space was well put together, and the staff was handling the pace without any issues. The food didn't land there. **FOOD** We had a mix across the table. One of my kids ordered a taco salad with ground beef. Another went with the nachos. I had the chicken chimichanga with rice and beans, and my wife ordered the birria quesatacos. The taco salad showed the first problem. The ground beef came out loose and wet, almost soupy, and it never recovered from that. It threw off the entire dish and made it hard to get through. The chimichanga followed the same pattern. It looked right, but there was no real flavor behind it. It ate heavy without any balance. The rice didn't add anything, and the beans stood out for the wrong reasons. Very dark, pasty, and carrying a harsh flavor that lingered. That's a basic side, and it shouldn't be that far off. The nachos came out already soft. Not slightly softened from toppings, but fully soggy. That's something that should never make it to the table that way. The birria quesatacos were the only thing that came close to landing. They were passable, but not something you'd come back for, and not close to the best version of that dish. Across the table, three out of four dishes missed, and the fourth didn't do enough to carry anything. Nothing felt deliberate. It all came across like it was rushed out without much attention to how it actually eats. **SERVICE** Service held steady, especially with how busy the restaurant was. The staff stayed attentive, drinks were handled quickly, and everything came out in a reasonable time. No issues there. **AMBIANCE** The space is well done. It's inviting, comfortable, and built to handle a full room without feeling chaotic. It gives the impression of a place that should be more dialed in than what showed up on the table. **CLOSING** This is a frustrating one. Everything around the food points in the right direction. The problem is the one thing that matters most doesn't follow through. When most of the table struggles to get through their food, that usually tells you everything you need to know. **RATINGS** Food: * Service: **** Ambiance: **** Overall: **/*** Personal Disclaimer: I value small, independent restaurants and want them to succeed.
