Service was great, Mariachi was great, food was delicious…BUT! when we were about to pay, the waitress swapped our credit card(which is red) with a red gift card and maybe thinking we wouldn’t noticed. That was extremely weird also because when I told her she gave me the wrong card back, she immediately took my CC out her pocket clearly knowing she had taken it on purpose. That was extremely shady and suspicious. The 1 stars are for her actions. I don’t remember her name, it was a Sunday afternoon. The review isn’t about the restaurant but be on alert of things like that. I don’t take stealing, fraud, theft lightly. She’s probably done it in the past

EL MARIACHI MEXICAN GRILL is expansive, with a large, heated, tent-covered patio. Inside and outside, this sports centric eatery has enough big-screen televisions to support an appliance shop. The restaurant is homage to old Mexico, complete with riding saddles resting on the crossbeams in the main dining area. Corn chips, bean-cheese dip and vegan salsa are provided at each table. The menu is populated with familiar Mexican dishes. Our server, Orquidea, who has been with the restaurant for five years, described the ingredients of the many dishes on the menu. (For example, the black beans are vegan, containing no animal products, however the rice is prepared with chicken broth.) She pointed out that Chef Roberto and his staff will do everything possible to match special dietary requirements. I ordered an off-menu, vegan burrito. It arrived in a few minutes. The approximately footlong burrito was, give or take, three inches in diameter. In other words, it was huge. The oversized tortilla encased gently stir-fried vegetables with black beans. It arrived toasted and lightly sauced. It was "muy bueno." The eleven year old restaurant lives up to its name, by providing live Mariachi¹ music on the weekends. El Mariachi offers lots of special offers. Here are a few: On Sunday's all you can drink Mimosas. Half off on Mondays on everything but alcohol. Everyday, Mexican meals are cooked to order on a BeniPaisa; a Benihana style grill. The restaurant and bathrooms are ADA compatible. At lunch and dinner low-cost valet parking is required. (There is little nearby street parking.) Online or telephone orders are accepted for pickup or delivery by DoorDash. ¹ "Mariachi" is thought to have derived from the French word mariage ("marriage"). The joyful sound first became popular entertainment in the 1860s. (Google)

We had a reservation for 6 people and when we arrived at the restaurant, the welcoming part was just fine. However, the horrible experience started when we ordered the food. Nothing was fresh. No authentic Mexican taste. The meats were not every warm enough. And at the end, when we received the check, we saw that they already included 18% tip. What is that for? Did you ever re-visit your guests to see if the food was fine? I feel they don't treat their non-Mexican guests right. We truly felt that. Well, it was our first and last visit at this place.

The outside dining has been expanded and is more isolated so it feels like you are inside.
