"WOW! I am amazed! A giant tender delicious steak for under $20! The carne asada was the best I've had! The beans were very freshly made! The salad was impressive; very green very clean vibrant green lettuce - chopped with onions & sliced ripe tomatoes and cucumber- wow ! I even got a bag of chips and some salsa. When I return to work o am staying here again to return !!"

"Bartender/Waitress was pleasant and checked on us several times. Carne Asada was good, the steak was fairly tender for a tough cut of meat. The extra wide plate was a nice touch. The menu separates "Tacos" from "American Tacos" which is a funny reflection on how American tacos are not very authentic. Margheritas good."

- Philip C.

"I recently ventured into a local eatery, El Mariachi Loco, and was pleasantly surprised. The fish tacos, complemented by beans and rice, were a delightful choice for dinner. To add to the culinary experience, their margaritas were top-notch. A special mention goes out to our waitress, Maria, who elevated our dining experience with her friendly and attentive service. El Mariachi Loco is undoubtedly worth the visit."

"Best kept secret on Natural Bridge Rd near Highway 270. Much, much better than its competitor; Chimi's. This place has FLAVOR!! They serve fresh food. Server was excellent. Food and Margarita was excellent. Ambiance was excellent. Makes me wonder why that other place is so crowded and this place is not. On a scale of 1-10; that other place is a negative 1 compared to this place which is 10 plus!! Highly recommend."
