	+ ------ + ''2009-10-12 11:19:39'' [[nbsp]] I love this place, as does my toddler. Their pickeled carrot (I don't remember the Spanish name for it) salsa is excellent. It's the only kind I've had that has herbs and spices mixed in. Oh, and Victor is _super_ nice. Highly recommended! --["Users/BillKendrick"]

I took my boyfriend here a week ago and we BOTH got food poisoning from the tacos. I will NOT be returning anytime soon. --["Users/SFNative2006"]

	+ ------ + ''2009-08-10 19:04:19'' [[nbsp]] I feel my review of this place is long overdue. + + As someone with a long and fattening historic love affair with Mexican food, I have little but praise for El Mariachi, in my opinion, the single best Mexican restaurant in the city of Davis. + + A few main factors make El Mariachi the superior choice in Davis; + 1. Quality of ingredients: El Mariachi's ingredients are far superior in quality to those of Guadalajara, Davis Taqueria, or Dos Coyotes. The meat is always excellent, cooked properly, and the beans and rice above par in terms of Mexican food generally. + 2. Variety: El Mariachi has a diverse menu, but is not encumbered by it in terms of quality of food. El Mariachi is the only restaurant in Davis with a Baja-style Mexican seafood menu, and from my experience it's all pretty good stuff. I also believe it's the only place in Davis you can get cactus in your burrito. + 3. Salsa Bar: El Mariachi has the best salsa bar in Davis, everyone else's is complete garbage in comparison. There are a huge variety of salsas, all homemade, all delicious. The ample supply of fire-roasted pickled jalapeños and onions always makes a great meal better. + + In regards to some naysayers; I will concede a few points. Some employees at El Mariachi are less than completely friendly at all times. The owner, Victor, is a really nice guy, though, and would address any complaint you could possibly have about food or service. He is never anything but cheerful and polite, and this kind of customer service has made me a regular there. + + Some of the food is lackluster. The tamales and enchiladas, particularly, are bland. The enchilada sauce they use is pretty boring. Stick with burritos, tacos, and nachos here. + + Also, if you order nachos for eat-in, they will give you a hilariously large amount of food, enough for 2 normal people to share as a meal, no joke. If you want something unique, try the Mariachi Nachos, they use their special, extra thick/cruncy confetti chips and mexican cheese, absolutely delicious. Also, on days where the special is California Burritos, go for it. Only place in Davis that does them that I'm aware. + + The guacamole is also less than awesome, it's very thin, and is a style I'm not particularly fond of. + + But overall, I give El Mariachi 5 out of 5 stars, it's an excellent restaurant, very reasonably priced, and caters to a wide variety of tastes in Mexican food. --["Users/RDRIII"]

	+ ------ + ''2009-07-12 11:40:57'' [[nbsp]] I first went to El Mariachi in 2001, I was visiting my sister and wanted some authentic Mexican food. A co-worker of my sister told me great things about El Mariachi and I walked over and eagerly got in line. The cashier was rude and mocked my mispronunciations’ of asada, and laughed to one of the cooks. The food was only ok, so I told myself I would never go back. In 2006, I got a job a couple blocks from Mariachi, and decided to go again, hoping the woman was no longer working there. Unfortunately she was and once again gave me rude condescending service. Since 2006 I met the owner whom is a very nice and friendly man who made me feel welcome. It seems when ever he is working the service is great, the cooks are friendly and the food taste great. Two weeks ago, I went in on my lunch break and once again the rude woman was working. As I approached the front of the line, she rolled her eyes and asked “What can I get for you?” As if it were hurting her to ask. After purchasing my food, she threw my change at me and stormed off the her seat. The cook tossed my food down and didn’t bother to tell me it was ready. I asked if that was mine and he nodded without looking at me. Long story short after all these experiences I will never go back, it’s almost better to get the fake stuff at taco bell, then have to deal with this hostility. --["Users/david0708"]

The gal at the front was rude and short with me, and I am always friendly as I worked customer service for many, many years and appreciate those who still do! It can be a tireless, thankless job, especially food service. Any who, I ordered and waited for my food which didn't take too long, though no one else was in there. The guy preparing the food just packaged my food and pushed it to me without a word or look or acknowledgement. I said, "Thank you very much!", and he just looked at me and muttered something. I wondered what I did wrong to be treated like the red-headed step-child of the establishment, though didn't worry long; I won't be back with such terrible customer service. Super Burrito in Woodland gets my vote!

We usually split the nachos asada or when were very hungry we usually get the steak burrito. I went there last night and got a prawns burrito...AMAZING.

I mean, it didn't kill me, but I wouldn't recommend it -- The tamales were bland, and their idea of guacamole was just green sauce with tiny flecks of avocado in it. But... the atmosphere is nice and they were very friendly, so I might just have to give it another shot. --["Users/MichellePalmer"]

Great mole, amazing veggie tamales, generously portioned meals, and just plain good cooking. Victor is very friendly, his place is clean, and his staff seems happy.

- The food here tastes fresh unlike a lot of the "Mexican" places here in Davis. While the best authentic mexican food can be found at the ["El Paisano Taco Truck"] right off the 113 main street exit in woodland, this place is not bad. The salsa bar is amazing, it is half the fun of going here. They have garlic salsa(my favorite), strawberry salsa, salsa verde, avacado salsa, pumpkin seed salsa, chipotle salsa, habanero salsa, jalapeno salsa, pineapple salsa, roasted tomato salsa, mango salsa, cucumber salsa, roasted corn salsa, cactus salsa, various chile salsas, and many others (including standard ones). Their mole buritos are decent, but my favorite is the asada napales burrito (steak and cactus). I think it might be the only place in davis that serves napales or napalitos, I haven't seen them anywhere else. the tortilla soup is cheap, more of a light flavored broth rather than the standard thick tomatoy stuff. they have horchata made from scratch, and I really liked their Hibiscus liquado. next time I'm trying the watermelon one. This place is solid, but for tacos got to el paisano because the places in davis dont do them right. About $4.50-$6 per burrito, $7 for seafood. - ["MattHh"]	+ The food here tastes fresh unlike a lot of the "Mexican" places here in Davis.

The greatest thing about them is that they don't have that "thick" or overly sweet taste that you get from the pre-made stuff, absolutely great on a hot summer's day. Bonus!

The soup is tasty and if you add the cucumber salsa and the tomatillo (sp?) salsa to the rice and beans and mix it in together, it comes out tasting quite lovely. The only thing that would top this is a dollop of sour cream (but I think they charge for that). I wonder what it'd taste like if I dumped this concoction into the soup to create a thicker meal...hmmm... --["Users/SunjeetBaadkar"]

El Marachai makes their own tortilla chips, so it tastes much better than regular pre made chips found at other places. The plate was more than enough for one person.

There wasn't anything wrong with it, it just tasted regular. The watermelon juice was a little too sweet, but at least it had traces of real watermelons instead of just food coloring. The salsa bar rocked though, the strawberry salsa was the best. I liked El Mariachi's chips, they seem less greasy than other place's chips. Next time, I would just get a plate of chips and sample their salsa bar, maybe try one of their special mole burrito. --["Users/justinhu"]

The salsa bar can't be matched for variety, the food is well above takeout quality, the staff are friendly, and the dining area feels welcoming enough to linger in while your meal begins to digest. There's a flatscreen TV that ususally has a sports channel on. The tortilla soup is a cheap way to fill the stomach but it's simple enough to copy at home: vegetable or chicken broth, chopped cilantro, canned tomatos, unsalted tortilla chips, salt and pepper to taste, and sliced onion. Easy as that. --["Users/StephenUy"]

I ordered a steak super burrito and it was indeed fresh and tasty. The tortilla soup was not to my liking, but I think this is totally a preference thing. It had this funky taste and so I gave up after only three bites. However, I encourage people to try it because it looked well made and it seems to be a popular item. Also, it's cheap and they give you a huge bowl. I don't like tomatoes so that probably explains why I don't care for it. The chips are nice and crunchy and the salsa bar is vast and glorious. My favorite salsa is the pumpkin seed. Spicy! --["Users/CurlyGirl26"]

- ''2007-07-14 20:30:43'' [[nbsp]] I met Victor today in the restaurant and agree with previous comments about him: He is very nice and enthusiastically helpful. The horchata here is very good; definitely tasty enough to keep me coming back despite a thin pocketbook. Anyone who likes horchata should also try "the mix", which is horchata and a strawberry drink mixed together...very refreshing on a hot day and probably even better on a cold day when you're not so thirsty you just guzzle it like I did. Mexican Coca-cola is available at around $1.50 a tall bottle...for any Coke fans, this is almost what Coke used to taste like before the company cr&%#ed it up with high fructose corn syrup instead of cane sugar in the 80s. You can buy giant gallon and two-gallon containers of horchata for parties and a really good price, which I would do every weekend if I could afford it. I had a tamale, which I think was very good, but I was delayed on the way home and so by the time I consumed it, the meal was far from freshly made. --["Users/BigSlice"]	+ ''2007-07-14 20:30:43'' [[nbsp]] I met Victor today in the restaurant and agree with previous comments about him: He is very nice and enthusiastically helpful.

	+ ------ + ''2007-06-02 21:06:12'' [[nbsp]] I decided to try this place out because Taqueria Guadalajara in North Davis was super busy with a line out the door...After having tried this Mexican restaurant I have a pretty good idea why, because El Mariachi has the worst Mexican food I've had in years. I got the super combination burrito with beef and pork for about $7 and it was not only cold, but the meat was horrid. The beef was rubbery, salty, and charred. The pork was dry, but at least had some flavor. I couldn't even finish it because it tasted so bad. Maybe I was just unlucky, but considering how bad my friend's chicken quesadilla was (wet & salty), I doubt that's the case. + + It was a total waste of money and I DO NOT recommend going here --["Users/JamesWatson"]

- The food here tastes fresh unlike a lot of the "Mexican" places here in Davis. While the best authentic mexican food can be found at the ["El Paisano Taco Truck"] right off the 113 main street exit in woodland, this place is not bad. The salsa bar is amazing, it is half the fun of going here. They have garlic salsa(my favorite), strawberry salsa, salsa verde, avacado salsa, pumpkin seed salsa, chipotle salsa, habanero salsa, jalapeno salsa, pineapple salsa, roasted tomato salsa, mango salsa, cucumber salsa, roasted corn salsa, cactus salsa, various chile salsas, and many others (including standard ones). Their mole buritos are decent, but my favorite is the asada napales burrito (steak and cactus). I think it might be the only place in davis that serves napales or napalitos, I haven't seen them anywhere else. the tortilla soup is cheap, more of a light flavored broth rather than the standard thick tomatoy stuff. they have horchata made from scratch, and I really liked their Hibiscus liquado. next time I'm trying the watermelon one. This place is solid, but for tackos got to el paisano because the places in davis dont do them right. About $4.50-$6 per burrito, $7 for seafood. - ["MattHh"]	+ The food here tastes fresh unlike a lot of the "Mexican" places here in Davis.

- An authentic counter-style taqueria, El Mariachi is arguably the most Mexican of the Mexican restaurants in Davis. Family owned and operated, El Mariachi features a wide selection of Mexican favorites. One of their defining characteristics is the salsa bar which features a wide selection of fresh salsas, i.e. strawberry, pumpkin, mango, pineapple, cactus, cucumber, corn, etc. This is also the only place in ["Davis"] that serves "nopales" cactus in their burritos -- nopales are uber tasty. The tortilla soup (not listed on the menu) only costs $2 and is pretty good ["cheap food"]. The freshly crushed watermelon juice (liquado?) is also excellent and goes well with just about anything on the menu. El Mariachi is home to the delicious (and highly recommended) ["Gamma Zeta Alpha" Gamma] burrito.	+ An authentic counter-style taqueria, El Mariachi is arguably the most Mexican of the Mexican restaurants in Davis.

No, but overall things are pretty good. The salsa bar is very good. I used to stick to the tomatillo and pico de gallo, but now I can't wait to get to the pumpkin seed, the avocado, or even the strawberry salsa. The carnitas rock. The crispy tacos are a little to not crispy after the sour cream soaks in, so I need to try to ask for them without. Yes, the beans and rice are bland but that's just another reason to visit the salsa bar. This place can be packed with dorm students on Friday nights as the restaurant accepts dorm food credits from the University. And the last big plus - they have Mexican CocaCola with cane sugar.

Fill up four cups of "Rattle Chili" from the salsa bar, and drive your burrito back home. Now, go boil enough spagetti noodles to serve 2-3 people. On a cutting board, chop burrito up into pieces. Insert 1/2 jar of Classico tomato sauce into finished noodles, mix in rattle chili, mix in tomato sauce, and then add red pepper flakes to taste. This excelent creation of mined, which I like to call "Giardina's Italian Burrito" will make you about 5 meals for about 8-9$. --["MichaelGiardina"]

Seriously, I love it, $6 roughly and you get one of the biggest burritos you'll ever have in your life. I should try one of there tortas the next time I'm up. I also wonder if there's a place like this in the South Bay. --["SteveNgo"]

The garlic salsa is awesome: and the owner will tell you the recipe if you'd like. He is really cool. I would recommend: super nachos- way too big for me to eat alone-really good with chorizo. (so wrong! so right!) Also: fried (crispy?) taco is awesome- especially with chorizo. That being said: not everything on the menu is super good. Chicken salad: super boring. Beans are boring, burritos for the most part: bland, blah. But I mean: this place is probably the best mexican food in Davis- and a great place to go for nachos and a beer before/after a movie. --["DianaChristofersen"]

- An authentic counter-style taqueria, El Mariachi is arguably the most Mexican of the Mexican restaurants in Davis. Family owned and operated, El Mariachi features a wide selection of Mexican favorites. One of their defining characteristics is the salsa bar which features a wide selection of fresh salsas, i.e. strawberry, pumpkin, mango, pineapple, cactus, cucumber, corn, etc. This is also the only place in ["Davis"] that serves "nopales" cactus in their burritos -- nopales are uber tasty. The tortilla soup (no listed on the menu) only costs $2 and is pretty good ["cheap food"]. The freshly crushed watermelon juice (liquado?) is also excellent and goes well with just about anything on the menu. El Mariachi is home to the delicious (and highly recommended) ["Gamma Zeta Alpha" Gamma] burrito.	+ An authentic counter-style taqueria, El Mariachi is arguably the most Mexican of the Mexican restaurants in Davis.

Their mole buritos are good, but my favorite is the asada napales burrito (steak and cactus). I think it might be the only place in davis that serves napales or napalitos, I havent seen them anywhere else. the tortia soup is cheap, more of a light flavored broth rather than the standard thick tomatoy stuff. they have horchata made from scrach, and I really liked their Hibiscus liquado. next time I'm trying the watermellon one.

Next time you drop in try the Pumpkin salsa, that one is delcious. They have a great selection of agua frescas, they were so nice to me, that when I asked for Cantaloupe last thursday, they told me they would get it for me on Saturday. And boy, did they ever deliver. --["AlvinTsao"]	+ ''2005-10-03 13:08:06'' [[nbsp]] Man. Wiki reviewers are ruthless.

- ''2005-10-11 12:45:11'' [[nbsp]] I returned here after reading that they made their own horchata. The mixes I've seen are full of hydrogenated fat, so this is an important issue. The order-taker is nothing if not friendly. But then, that's probably not the reason for going to a restaurant. They have one of the largest salsa bars in Davis. My vegetarian burrito was good, just not excellent. They give chips with it (I'd prefer they not). I'd return again. --["SteveDavison"]	+ ''2005-10-11 12:45:11'' [[nbsp]] I returned here after reading that they made their own horchata.

They claim to be "Authentic Mexican" (who doesn't?), but they also say they don't use lard, which voids the assertion. Personally, I DON'T want authentic -authentic is bad. Fortunately, they're not. I haven't gotten (or seen anyone else) getting "free stuff", but then, I don't expect it either. I recommend this place and I'll return again. --["SteveDavison"]

- An authentic counter-style taqueria, El Mariachi is arguably the most Mexican of the Mexican restaurants in Davis. Family owned and operated, El Mariachi features a wide selection of Mexican favorites. One of their defining characteristics is the salsa bar which features a wide selection of fresh salsas, i.e. strawberry, pumpkin, mango, pineapple, cactus, cucumber, corn, etc. This is also the only place in ["Davis"] that serves "nopales" cactus in their burritos -- nopales are uber tasty. The tortilla soup only costs $2 and is pretty good ["cheap food"]. The freshly crushed watermelon juice (liquado?) is also excellent and goes well with just about anything on the menu.	+ An authentic counter-style taqueria, El Mariachi is arguably the most Mexican of the Mexican restaurants in Davis.

- The owner, Victor, used to be a custodian at ["Tercero residence halls"]. He makes everything from the best ingredients; all of the meats and vegetables are all bought fresh daily to ensure the best possible taste. The horchatas and liquados are made fresh, not from some package mix! For the price and the quality it is the best, healthiest Mexican restaurant in the world, and ["Davis"] is lucky to have it. Plus they have fantastic ["vegetarian options"].	+ The owner, Victor, used to be a custodian at ["Tercero residence halls"].
