One of my favorite places to eat. The bottomless mimosa brunch on Saturdays and Sundays is a hit. The outdoor patio weather permitting is a delightful place to enjoy conversation and a good meal. I have always enjoyed their margaritas, whether by the glass or by the pitcher. The restaurant has a good neighborhood vibe to it. I recommend you give it a try.

One of my favorite brunch spots. The Zapata skillet is delicious and perfect for fixing a hangover. They do have a mimosa package and are sure to keep you topped off at all times, but I prefer to order a margarita from the menu.

I love this place, used to live nearby and it was my favorite local bar restaurant in the area. Patio is lovely, food is good. The only reason I’m giving 4 stars is about my last visit. I went with my old friends from school and asked to split the bill, the waiter who had been very nice at the time, obviously got upset and told us bill couldn’t be split it and left not in the nicest way honestly. He could be way nicer since he’s working with people. Once I was a waitress and I know sometimes is so annoying to do things like that, but there’s always ways to explain clients with a better attitude.

There's not usually a wait here and the food is great. They have good breakfast and brunch and mimosas and are good for dinner and margaritas too. A reservation might be good if it's at a really peak time.

El Mariachi is a gem, with outstanding good, exceptional service, and a comfortable atmosphere. The sampler platter of appetizers is great for sharing, a offers a sense of the quality this restaurant offers. Yet here, even the homemade tortilla chips taste like some of the best Mexican food. It is like visiting some of the restaurants in San Antonio. As to the main dishes, the meat, fish, and chicken dishes offer fine choices. Plus, the vegetarian items are worth ordering. The Aztecs combo represents the vegetarian choices well, and the shrimp burrito In the Del Ranchero combo has wo detful nuance In fact, the various combo plates include several parts of the menu that are worth exploring on repeat visits. With staff like Anita, you are in great hands here. If you have not yet tried it, you should plan a visit. It is one of the best Mexican restaurants in the area.

Loved this place, want to go back! Bottomless Mimosa brunch was AMAZING! They make sure you're glass is always filled! The food was also delicious and our waitress was busting her butt because it got very busy and never missed a beat! She was great! highly recommend!!

Basically the best experience I've had in any restaurant anywhere! I never saw the bottom of my bottomless mimosa! The chips and salsa were incredible! The entrees were delicious and Armando was by for the best server I've ever had! He made our little weekend away from Ohio so worth it! I can sing his praises enough! I recommend getting here as early as possible on Saturday before it gets busy, but if you have Armando as your server the rush won't even matter! Also, bottomless means bottomless so be prepared!

This is a review for their brunch. It's one of the best deals in town. The deal includes your nearly-bottomless and an entree. The food is solid and the service is amazing -- you'll hardly ever see the bottom of your glass.

Very good food. Great atmosphere. Excellent tequila selection and the margaritas are very tasty and strong and not a bad deal when bought by the pitcher. Don't expect amazing burritos, enchiladas, etc because while they're not bad, the better choices are the steaks and seafood and other specialty entres. Great social atmosphere that is always lively (and a bit loud on weekends), a large tequila bar, and outdoor back patio that I can't wait to utilize this summer.

The food was great. Didn't get a chance to try the 2 hour bottomless mimosas, but I'm sure they're great too. The food and drinks were a lot more authentic than I expected for a Mexican restaurant in the city. You don't see that often.

Food was tasty and affordable, huge portions too. But they need to update their website. They don't honor the 3 dollar beer happy hour specials anymore.

There is no shortage of Mexican restaurants in Chicago but this one is one I come back to over and over. The staff is welcoming, the location is spacious and bright and inviting. They have a great outdoor patio in the summer. The food is also perfectly seasoned and they have great options for vegetarians. I loved the enchiladas with maduros (sweet plantains) as well as the veggie fajitas.Highly recommend! The bar area is also great if you are just dining solo.

I came here with my cousins for brunch but didn't do the mimosa package. We were more interested in their margaritas and cocktail menu. They did not disappoint. Our favorite was the smoked pineapple margarita. You can taste the smokiness of the drink. It was delicious. We also had the platanos French toast. It was a bit too sweet for my liking but still good! We had their complimentary flan and it was huge and yummy. Our server was amazing! She was friendly, assertive and welcoming. Would come back to try their mimosa brunch package!

I've enjoyed this restaurant for many years. Not in the neighborhood any longer, but I find my way back from time to time. Great food and drinks! Fantastic brunch menu with all you can drink options. Outdoor patio in back is one of the best patios in the city!

Hands down the best Mexican food I've had in Chicago, and the margaritas are just as good! The chips and salsa are made by hand and even the traditional entrees tasted better than they do from other restaurants in the area. Will definitely be back soon!

Waiter seemed irritated with something, which made us uncomfortable. Food was oddly greasy (like, literally sitting in a puddle of grease. I heard great things, so maybe we just had a poor experience on a bad day.Update: Came back to try again! This time, the service was much better (thanks, Gricelda!) and the good was delicious!

Food tends towards the expensive side, very large portion sizes but I'd have appreciated the option to have less food at less cost. Drinks are pretty good. If you're a margarita fan this is an excellent choice of venue.

I've been here for Weekend Brunch ($25 for bottomless mimosas + an entree) and for dinner a few times. The service has always been great. The food has been cooked quickly and it has been very delicious. One of the hidden gems in the area

First time and I love it!!! I wish I found this jewel years ago. Amazing food! I'm enjoying every single bite. Outstanding service. They deserve 10 stars!

Had the bottomless mimosas package for a Saturday brunch, and despite a very full and vibrant restaurant, me and my partner were seated immediately! For $25 we had as many mimosas as I would like, and a full meal. The food was just the right amount to accompany the drinks, and the service was impeccable. Carlos was nice and always knew when to refill our drinks. This will definitely be the usual for bottomless mimosas brunch!

I honestly love this place ! The service is great and the food is so fresh. Friendly environment, the waitresses are amazing . They’re always checking on you to see if you need anything. And the music is great ! I would definitely come back again.

This place was surprisingly great. Loved the atmosphere and if this place had a bar, I could hang here all day. My whole crew loved the food and when I go back to that area, I will definitely go here.
