Loved our time here! The drinks and food were delicious. Definitely enjoy the patio if you can! My taco salad was full of the flavors I love. Husband’s shrimp and pollo was his favorite dish. Daughter’s vegetarian poblano burrito was all she’d hoped for and gave her lunch for the next day. My blackberry margarita was amaaazing, husband’s avacado mango margarita was out of this world. Then we had a happy hour sangria that was made from scratch – not too sweet and balanced with spices that made it perfect.

I stopped by El Mariachi Tequila Bar & Grill and it immediately felt like a lively and colorful Mexican spot with a fun, spirited atmosphere. The interior has bright accents and a casual vibe that makes it great for grabbing dinner with friends or enjoying drinks before a night out.
I tried a few tacos and a margarita, and the flavors were bold and satisfying — fresh ingredients, juicy fillings, and that nice balance of spice and tang. The margarita was strong and refreshing, which paired perfectly with the food. Portions were generous without feeling overwhelming.
Service was upbeat and friendly, which added to the laid-back, festive feel. Overall, El Mariachi is a solid choice if you’re looking for tasty Mexican food, good drinks, and a fun atmosphere in Chicago — nothing too formal, just enjoyable and flavorful.

I had the best time with my girlfriends at El Mariachi! Our server Aurora was so kind and friendly. We were celebrating my birthday, and Aurora went out of her way to make the celebration special. Her smiling face and kind personality went a long way. She made the day special with excellent recommendations, prompt and friendly service with refills for our bottomless margaritas, and a bright personality that made the day so special. I had so much fun! The host, Lupe, was also so friendly. He gave great recommendations on house specials and was funny and kind. We had a blast! I cannot stop smiling! Thank you you for such a fun girly brunch day! Will come here again!

Came here for the bottomless mimosas and was quite surprised by the excellent service and yummy food! Armando was a great waiter, always checking on our table and on top of refills. Highly recommend and will be coming back:)

They have stepped it up!!! I used to come here weekly when I lived a couple blocks away. Came with a group for my birthday and wow! The menu is better, the plating, and quality is better. For a very busy brunch they kept things moving. $20 bottomless mimosas is worth it. I will be back more often even if it’s out of my way.

The food is definitely made for a certain demographic. I wouldn’t say this is good or real Mexican food. See the picture of the “nachos” as an example. Save your money and go to Taco and Burrito House across the street.
They also weren’t busy and didn’t check on us after taking our order until we were done eating and ready to take the check.

Absolutely fantastic time at El Mariachi. Went for a boozy all you can drink mimosa brunch, and they were more than generous and on top of refilling the mimosas.
Partner and I went with the Birria Grilled Cheese (s/o Guy Fieri) and it was as just as wonderful as you would imagine it to be.
Will be back here!

I’ve been here a few times for brunch and dinner and food is always good. The most recent time I went here was kinda disappointing. The server took forever to get our order and by the time they did the brunch hour had already passed. Then they took a while to get our bill as well. I’m aware restaurants get busy during brunch. Especially if it’s large groups of people but it was just me and one other person. The quality of the food is always good and they have a good deal on brunch if you’re into bottomless mimosas etc. This place is also always playing music so if that’s your thing go for it. However, you’ve been warned if you just want a conversation with minimal noise etc.
