El Mariachi

"Food was good, but took a little longer than expected to get my meal. Server was very attentive and friendly. And the price of the food wasn't bad either."

"Food was made by someone who wants to enjoy life while eating. Can hands down say, if not one of the best, possibly THE best Mexican restaurant we’ve ever been to. Delicious doesn’t really cover how good the food was. Portions are great. Food came out fast. Presentation was really good too! Our server was was so sweet and attentive. Restaurant is spacious, well laid out and very clean. Bathroom is lovely! I was surprised when I walked in, like taken aback by how much time and thought they put into the bathroom. Very clean. Loved it! Too bad we were just passing through. Suuuuuuper duuuuuuper recommend! :) Husbands quesadillas are super recommend worthy, he usually feel yucky and inflamed after most restaurant food, but he made the point to mention that he felt really good after eating that meal. He exclaimedly expressed his appreciation for the flavor of his dish. I had the big burrito and the green salsa especially made a wonderful combination with the tasty steak inside. My daughter’s children’s plate was hefty and she scarfed it down. Thumbs up for that! The server was especially sweet to our daughter. Thanks for that. Thank you El Mariachi and staff, you did great!"

"The food here is excellent. It is not "Americanized Mexican." I took my father here and he told me the food here was more like he actually ate in Mexico. Two downsides. First the credit card machine was broken. It was necessary to find an ATM and get cash. Second, the decor doesn't really seem Mexican. El Mariachi moved here just after or during COVID-19. If I had to guess, I would say it was previously an Italian restaurant. Mexican accents have been added, but Corinthian columns aren't really Mexican."

"A random Google search for Mexican restaurants in Hazelton and we found a gem. The waitress made it seem as if they had no veggies for a vegetarian enchilada but she went back and checked with the chef, they could make it. I didn't have high hopes of anything spectacular but was I wrong. It was the most gourmet vegetarian enchilada ever. Peppers, fresh diced tomatoes, cauliflower and broccoli. I loved it! Plus the rice and beans were a perfect side as well as the chips and salsa served when you sit down."

"Food was very tasty. I think it was a bit on the salty side, but I left feeling full and quite happy. I had the grilled chicken platter and I didn't have room left to finish the pork quesadilla I had ordered."
