Not to be confused with El Mariachi in Lansing, Illinois, this restaurant operates under different ownership and has been open only a matter of months (as evidenced by the temporary signage).

El Mariachi has quite a nice interior which led to me hoping I wouldn’t be entering another restaurant that did not offer a steak burrito ala carte. Fortunately, this was not the case. The menu items are higher than most (Carne Asada Dinner - $15.95, my Steak Burrito - $7.49), but the burrito turned out to be well worth it.

The steak burrito weighed in at over 1 2/3 pounds and contained steak, beans, lettuce, tomato, diced onion, and sour cream. The steak had excellent flavor and was cut into fairly large, thin pieces. The overall flavor was excellent and was only slightly hampered by a small piece of fat and an over-concentration of sour cream in the middle of the burrito.



The chips were excellent and had a good crunch to them. The salsa was mild and had a very good flavor.

El Mariachi appears to be a good restaurant to dine at with family and friends. I’ll definitely be going back.
