Reviews for Mariachi Mexican Restaurant in Metuchen, NJ
For the price of food, the amount of food is ridiculous. Chimichangas are like thinest 3 PCs if you are a vegetarian it is... really bad. They charge extra for salsa. Food quality and flavor is mediocre. I use to go to the place all the time but afterpandemic they have become really cheap. Read more
We had dined here once before, years ago, and weren't impressed. We were in downtown Metuchen looking for open restaurants. We... were once again underwhelmed. We should have gotten back in the car and gone to El Tex Mex Burrito & Cafe in Fords. I had theenchiladas and my wife had the chicken soup, shrimp, and sangria. All were mediocre. The service was very good, especiallyconsidering the two person overworked staff. Read more
This was my first time at Mariachi, and the food was very, very good! The first course was a shrimp scampi, which was extremely... flavorful and not overcooked like most places cook shrimp! I would return for this alone! I also got the trio of fajitas withthe chicken, steak and shrimp. These were also flavorful and very well cooked, as nothing was dry and tasteless. I willcertainly be back, and I recommend this place for anyone who wants good food in the area. Read more
Actual food was as expected good but not great. It was a small restaurant and only had a few small groups there and our food... took a bit to come out. There is only wine and sangria options for alcoholic drinks. I live in NY so won't be back but even if Ilived close by I would probably find a more suitable Mexican venue for what I was looking for. For those who just want a smallMexican place with decent food it's a good fit. Read more
What a gem of a restaurant. We went here for lunch and were absolutely surprised by the deliciousness of the food. The hot sauce... was really SPICY. Must visit if you are a Mexican food fan. Read more
Came to Metuchen to try this new Mexican restaurant, was not impressed with anything at the place, host was very cold, food was... not seasoned well at all. Here are my thoughts ????: Crispy Tacos (beef) ????: the ground beef was extremely under seasoned,had no taste to it, the accompanying Beans and Rice also were underwhelming. Would not recommend having. California burritoLoco (chicken) ????: Again the chicken and rice were dramatically under seasoned. Very Rice forward, small chicken volume. Thered sauce with it also was underwhelming with the salad. Horchata ????: oh my gosh, no! It was the most dilute horchata i hadever had! No cinnamon taste no milk flavor whatsoever. Tastes super dilute. All together. I am giving two stars: will not be areturning customer. Read more
Food tasted fresh and delicious! The portions are good enough that you don’t feel bloated and heavy after eating. It seemed... like there was only one server working, covering the guests inside and outside, and even then service was amazing! She misheardmy appetizer order and corrected it promptly without issue, and checked on us frequently enough that we didn’t feel smothered. Read more
Tried here for the first time last weekend and was a bit disappointed. We ordered online which showed our order would be ready... in an hour. When we got our food at the specified time, it was cold and soggy. My enchiladas were so mushy, the meal was a mess.I wish that we could have been notified that it was ready early. A lot of the food like the rice had a frozen/store bought feel.Honestly I thought it was way overpriced. The food did taste good though. Probably would have been a lot better fresh! Read more
