Reviews for El Mariachi Restaurant in Albany, NY
Veryyyy pretty restaurant !! There is both indoor and outdoor seating, and the waiters were very nice. They forgot our utensils... at first but it was busy so not a big deal. Food was pretty good and they gave us extra chips for no charge :) price is decentas well. I would say though that the accessibility isn?t great, you have to go all the way up stairs for the bathroom whichcould be a challenge if you are elderly or disabled , unless there was an elevator I didn?t see Read more
The service here was amazing, we were promptly seated, promptly served, and promptly brought drinks. Our food came out quickly... and our chips and salsa were replenished quickly when we needed more. There were a variety of vegetarian options though manyincluded mushrooms (I have an allergy) and many included cheese/weren't vegan, but I dont think that's unexpected for a mexicanrestaurant. I did find it to be pricey compared to other restaurants in the area. This was somewhat compensated for in theportion sizes, which were generous, however I found the rice and beans to be somewhat bland. Regardless, I'd like to return andgive another dish a try!

Service and food was great. The chicken chalupas were so good. The burrito was massive, I almost wasn't able to finish it. You... definitely your money's worth. The waitress was super brand polite, A+++ service. Read more
Decided to try these folks. Not busy during lunch was a warning sign I ignored. :( Chicken taco (yes only one, with beans and... rice for about $11) disappointing, chicken tasted dried out, small chopped thin pieces. Negative vibe on menu descriptions onthe lunch menu, many items said ?no rice or beans with this item.? Can it be that much more to provide a bit during lunch, adda buck to the price. Free chips and salsa good start, cold chips tasted bland and not fresh. Upon receiving the check (notbefore) a note is attached that says credit cards will incur an additional fee, a fee that restaurant must pay. This townhouselike building has a bar, main level, and nice outdoor rear yard area. Bigger than it looks. If I lived near it, it would be myplace for drinks with friends. Good exercise obtained by going to top floor for the restrooms. ???? Great alcohol typedrinks. Staff was nice, quick, and professional. ???? Read more
I went with my daughter and her friends over the weekend. Very impressed with my food. It was very enjoyable and the customer... service was great. I felt very welcome and the mexican vibe really got to me. If I were to go again (and I definitely will) Iwould get the fried ice cream because it was really good. Read more

In town for a concert, and craving Mexican food. My dining companion and I found El Mariachi, and their menu had just what we... were craving. Walking into the restaurant we noticed how clean and lovely it is - Beautifully decorated for Christmas aswell. Immediately after seating we received complimentary chips and salsa. The salsa was a quite tasty chipotle salsa. We bothordered the El Mariachi Margarita which was very, very good! We opted to start with the Chili con Queso with added Chorizo. Theportion is definitely enough for four to share, but we managed to finish it between the two of us. It was delightfully cheesyand delicious! For my main course I ordered the enchilada plate. It?s my go-to dish I crave! I requested one chicken and onecheese enchilada with red sauce, and extra sour cream on the side. Wow! What an amazing plate of deliciousness! Both enchiladaswere blanketed in red sauce which clearly was made properly with dried chilies - no skimping on sauce which makes this dinervery happy. The rice was the best I?ve had in a Mexican restaurant. The rice was seasoned wonderfully, was moist, and not dry.The black beans were quite good. Nicely seasoned, and a nice accompaniment to the plate. Service was perfect. Our server wasfriendly and polite. She definitely has great timing! Our water was never empty either as a very nice gentleman made sure we hadwater as needed. Overall, we left stuffed and very happy. Such a wonderful restaurant! Be sure to give them a try knowing onewill not be disappointed. Read more
