El Mariachi Tequila Bar & Grill

Had an absolutely fantastic brunch at El Mariachi with my boyfriend before a Cubs game. The food was incredible- so many delicious flavours and tastes blended into my meal. The portions were very generous, I wish I could have finished it but I was too stuffed! Our server was so lovely and attentive, she always came around with mimosa refills even before we were finished our glasses. The courtyard patio had such a fun but laid back vibe and it was great to be able to walk to Wrigley field after. Would 100% come again!!

Enjoyed an evening out with friends after a Cubs game. Delicious margaritas. Great patio dining, close to Wrigley. We would definitely return.

Place is always great and the food is amazing. We went for brunch the mimosas were flowing and food was delicious.

Everything was great until about an hour later when half the party felt sick to their stomachs :/

As a vegetarian, I loved the options on the menu. Our server was attentive, polite and kind. Our drinks were always full and the garden atmosphere was gorgeous! I ordered a chimichanga with beans and the only reason I didn’t give the food 5 stars was because it came with a slight color of (maybe) beans and a what seemed like 2 cups of onions and peppers. I expected there would be some visible refried beans or even black beans. I do realize this may be my own personal standard and with that said, the rest of the meal was outstanding. I will definitely go back and simply be more explicative about my expectations. Highly recommend!

My favorite Mexican place in Chicago!

I absolutely love El Mariachi! Their brunch menu is to die for. Plus, $25 bottomless mimosas, which includes a meal?! There's no beating that. The service is incredible there, they listen to exactly what you want in your table side guacamole and are so quick to refill your bottomless drinks. I'm a customer for life!

Love this place!

What a terrible experience. Our server took forever to take our order, every time she did come to the table she couldn't get away fast enough. She'd ask if we wanted anything and then walk away before we could answer. Our food took well over an hour and they were not busy. We were charged for things we ordered but didn't receive and the food by the time we got it was terrible. Then while we were still trying to eat the waitress suddenly started clearing the table, taking drinks and food we weren't done with.

The food was great as always, but the music could have been turned down a bit. It was hard to talk over it.

Service was great! Food and drink another plus! The place is small but still had a great time!

The place was not even open for the time it showed available for reservations.

We went on Pride Sunday and our waitress handled everything like a champ. Drunken parade revelers and still our food showed up in a timely fashion. I hope she's home and relaxing by now. Good place that did it all well 🏳️‍🌈

Our server was great, only thing that was annoying was the fact that when we made the RESERVATION, we were told it’d be TWO hours of bottomless mimosas and that it ends at 3pm. Also the sign that they had plastered all over confirmed bottomless mimosas ended at 3pm. My RESERVATION was at 1:15 and they didn’t notify us until the MIDDLE of our meal that they were closing bottomless mimosas at 2pm instead of 3pm because it was pride. So basically we got cheated and only got 45mins of bottomless instead of the full TWO HOURS. I get that it was pride but I had asked the day before and I didn’t get my money’s worth and was truthfully cheated.

Staff were very accommodating and service oriented in ensuring that our annual pre Pride Parade brunch was a great way to start the day.

$25 bottomless mimosas+entree is an absolute steal! Food is AWESOME and portions are huge. Bottomless is always fun and great for a get together!

Food is average. Rice and beans did not have any flavor. The sopes appetizer and mole was delicious. Salsa for the chips was good too. Food is overpriced for what you’re getting. Our Waitress was un attentive and seemed distant towards us. The other staff were pretty friendly.

Service was bad and since we had 8 people we got auto grat so that makes me even more mad.

We had a reservation for 10 and they crammed us in a space big enough for 6. We pulled another table over and the manager told us it was a fire hazard and made us squeeze all 10 of us in a small corner space. We had to ask for menus and then got 4 menus for 10 people. Took forever to order a drink. Finally got some drinks then waited forever for orders to be taken. Overall the place sucks!

The overall experience was horrific. The waitress at our table was nice as well as the bartender that served us during our wait. The restaurant host was rude. I totally understood not being able to accommodate a party as large as ours without prior reservation but after making a reservation for 6 they still did not want to honor the reservation I was able to make through this service. Once were finally seated, It took so long when we were finally seated to be served and then to be served the wrong food a couple members of our party did not eat. This was about a 4 hour experience of chaos.

I normally love this place and come for brunch about once or twice a month. This time however was not great, as the server we had was very handsy and kept rubbing my back every time he came to the table. It felt very inappropriate and made me uncomfortable. He also told us he started our 2 hour mimosa period before we even got our first mimosa which felt unfair.

Wanted to try this place for awhile. The food was okay, portions where small compared to most places. The restaurant was extremely noisy and tables are very close together; it was hard to keep a conversation. The service was slow and it appeared the servers were spread extremely thin. I’d probably not return to dine again.

Love this restaurant, the big issue is always the noise.

Amazing Shrimp Enchiladas with Mole! Also the Margaritas were bomb!

El Mariachi had great food and our waiter was a good waiter. Getting seated in the restaurant was a weird experience. I had made a reservation and when I arrived I told them I had a reservation - they kinda looked at me, didn't check anything, then asked how many people were in my party. Then, we followed our waiter who slid two tables together for us then and there. That was strange. In addition, if you visit them, I'd suggest avoiding the bathroom. It was gross. Great food, though.

The bottomless brunch is actually bottomless. They’re on top of constantly filling your glasses!

Food was really good, margaritas very strong!

Great service!!! Great food!! We sat on the patio and it was lovely!!!

Good food and great mimosa brunch deal! My glass never reached half-empty. Great spot for a boozy brunch

Food and service are consistently excellent.

Wonderful time! Good food great service and hospitality. Made my daughter, who had just graduate college, feel special!

No better place to brunch on the weekend!service was top notch and food and beverage was of great quality! Can’t wait for my next visit

We had a large group, and unfortunately they must have been severely under-staffed. Our dinner ended up taking about 3 hours and the food was subpar

Great margaritas, best place to get “TexMex” outside of Texas

Restaurant seemed under staffed. Dirty dishes left on table, empty water glasses and waiter hard to find most of the time
Food amazing, restaurant music very loud hard to hear our table guess.

It was a fun place for brunch. Service was great! Will be back.

We had a great brunch at El Mariachi! Our mimosas were always full and the food was excellent!

Went for Sunday brunch and it was awesome. Many selections on the brunch menu and we both did chilaquilles. They were delicious! And we also did the all you can drink mimosas. As soon as your glass was almost half empty they'd fill it right back up. We'll be back!

Excellent service, great margaritas!

Brunch was amazing, the atmosphere was great and the service was phenomenal.
