El Mariachi

Was very happy to discover this wonderful Mexican-run Mexican restaurant in the heart of the NH lakes district. Conveniently located on Route 25 in Moultonborough just near turn off towards Wolfboro and Castle in the Clouds - it couldn't be more convenient or adorable inside and out.The decor inside was very heart warming - brilliant painted/carved chairs from Mexico are the dominant decor, and the waitstaff is super friendly and accommodating. The outdoor tables looked welcoming as well. Food-wise, we had very nice combo platters which were fresh and very tasty.

Jose is amazing, his restaurant and food are amazing. Last week was my first time visiting this place, and I'm beyond thrilled to have chosen to go. I had the carnitas plate and my partner had a steak and shrimp plate. Both were made absolutely perfectly, and we had a lovely time and a lovely meal. Great atmosphere and wonderful service, mixed with delicious food? Always a good time. We will be back, for certain. We will also be recommending it to friends and family.

Called for take out. The friendly person who answered took my order and told me 10-15 minutes. I arrived well before the time I was given yet my food was ready and well packaged for transport. I'm stuffed! The food was AMAZING! I had the Chicken Chimichanga. The portions are generous and tasty. I'll be going back soon!

El mariachi more than that my expectations. It was the closest Mexican restaurant to the hotel we were staying at. That is why we initially chose here. Ecstatic that we ended up here. Not a lot of parking, not sure if there was more on the other side of the building. Huge outdoor dining area that would be useful in spring and summer. From the second I walked in, I loved the charm of the restaurant. They were way understaffed, the host who is also the bartender and waiter warned us ahead of time. He told us if we stayed we might have to wait for our food. That never happened. He was right on top of everything . He was visibly stressed, but did a fantastic job. I loved all the decor. Every table top and chair had a different theme. It depicted what life was like in Mexico in the past. More importantly, the food was delicious. They start out by bringing homemade chips and salsa. I ordered the skirt steak tacos. The steak was cooked and seasoned perfectly, very tender. I thought I was in a steak house while I was eating it. My fiancé got a combination of chimichangas, tostada, and chicken enchiladas. She gave me one of the chicken enchiladas and one of the chimichangas. Both were amazing. Both plates also came with rice, refried beans, and guacamole. The rice was good, guacamole was even better. I’m not a fan of refried beans so I didn’t taste any. According to my fiancé, they were very good. For dessert, we had fried ice cream. It was made right in front of us. It was pretty much a hibachi show with ice cream and liquor involved. I had a video to attach, but apparently it’s too big to upload. Overall a great experience. I highly recommend this to anybody visiting or living in the area. Authentic Mexican cuisine done right.
