Really good Food. My wife and myself were passing by and stopped here because we are always willing to try any New Mexican food. We were surprised about how much we both enjoyed the food. The chips are as described by someone else on here, paper thin and the salsa was good. The place was not very busy as they were about to close for lunch and our food was out in less than 5 minutes. I was most surprised that I actually preferred the green over the red. The green is not your typical green, but has a great flavor. My cheese enchilada plate was more than enough food. My wife ordered the stuffed sopaipilla and it was very large and she enjoyed it. The price of the plates were very reasonable. I would recommend anyone who loves New Mexican food to give it a try!
Enjoy lunch and meet the family. A true family run restaurant - we were made to feel very welcome on our first visit. Good basic New Mexican food although I like a little more "kick" to my green chili. The salsa and chips were a treat - paper thin crispy chips, almost like a potato chip, with flavorful salsa. Atmosphere is basic and simple - a few booths and tables.
How have I lived right by this place for long and never been in? It was such a delight and I felt like I was in my grandma’s kitchen. Family owned and operated and the owner was the absolute sweetest! I will definitely be back!!
Amazing!!!!! I don't even know where to start. Small, clean , and peaceful is how I would describe my first impression. It's like walking downstairs to the kitchen and your favorite food is cooking. Amazing.... my husband had the huevos rancheros, says hands down the best ever. I have the beef stuffed sopapilla. Wow, I kept eating and couldn't stop. Flavors burst with every bite. This is a golden gem . We love everything about El Mariachi and can't wait to go back.
Great cust.serv. never had an issue.
Always feel welcomed. Busy place at times. Home cooked food. Always get the Indian taco. ALWAYS FRESH. All homemade.
Family run business in a good location. Fabulous sunset vistas! I had the sampler plate, which consisted of a relleno, a tamale, and an enchilada. I enjoyed it, it was very delicious. Friendly lady and her son and grandson were there all working to make my visit a good one. I recommend it for its location, menu, and very affordable prices!
Was very fortunate to stumble upon this restaurant. Definitely a gem of Albuquerque! The food was delicious (and extremely well-priced) and the service was outstanding. I will be back for more!
Good place overall, food is great for the price and like some said the server is a bit aloof at first, but warmed up to us later on. Would recommend it, I plan to go again.
Fantastic local spot for some good New Mexican food! The owner was the sweetest, portions were huge, and you can't beat the prices. You can tell they care about their business. New favorite spot for sure!
Excellent food at El Mariachi. I had the most delicious smothered bacon breakfast burrito. Nice, hot green chile...just the way we like it in Albuquerque. Would recommend this family-owned local restaurant to everyone!
First time here great food love the atmosphere very calm and relaxing with good music was hesitant at first but the salsa with the homemade chips and the homemade plates all from scratch hands down the best Mexican restaurant i been to in Albuquerque beats los Cuates El Patron never heard of this place till it popped you near me literally 3 mins away from home this place is a gem and needs more Recognition ! Will recommend to family and friends thank you Virginia.
Love the homey vibe and the oldies music. The food was delicious and for a great price.
The bad reviews about the service are totally bogus. The woman here is sweet and attentive. She knew all the other customers or treated them as such.
We will definitely coming back for some more homestyle NM food.
