Mariachi’s
“Mariachi's was a reasonably priced haven in a sea of Tribeca's shuttered luch spots or stuffy, fancy night spots.”
“Anyways, all in all a pleasant lunch spot find in the food wasteland that is the Financial District.”
“Highly recommend the Fish Tacos and El Costeno (Shrimp Burrito).”

not earth-shattering but perfect for comfort food. the price is a little high but considering the location… understandable for those nyc rents! and i will gladly pay the higher price to have a no-frills quality establishment like this.
the portions are well sized and the food is simple. what shines the most for me is the energetic staff, the relaxed atmosphere, and the incredibly approachable menu! the menu doesn't dumb things down for newbie mexican foodies but it does add in nice educational info in a way that i easy to read compared to other mexican menu monstrosities i've encountered!
enjoying my horchata & chorizo burrito. this place would be great for an after work happy hour dinner party!
Ever since I have tried authentic home cooked mole, I could not get the wonderful taste off of my mind. For years I have been wanting to find a place that can make mole the same way I had first had it and this is the place!!
I dined in for lunch with my Mexican friend and we ordered horchata and he said it was a little too sweet, and I thought so too but I liked it that way. Of course I ordered the Mole Poblano without beans and he ordered the nachos with cheese, jalopeno, chicken and some pico de gallo.
Before the food came we received some chips and pico de gallo dip. The waiter was friendly and attentive.
But back to the Mole Poblano. The plate did look a little skimpy because I requested no beans but the chicken was very juicy and the sauce was absolutely PERFECT. It had that pinch of sweetness and spiciness to it that I had not found anywhere else, it sent me to straight to heaven at the first bite. Needless to say I consumed the entire plate.
dropped by on a thursday at 2PM, starving and craving some tacos. I shouldn't have. I tried the chorizo, carnitas and carne asada tacos, and they were all pretty bad. The meat on the carnitas seemed barely cooked since it was a light pink color, the carne asada seemed liked it was just boiled in water and sprinkled with pepper, and chorizo just didnt even taste like chorizo. the tacos were all gross.
service was also pretty slow, i waited for about 10 minutes watching the wait staff have a conversation at the bar while neglecting everyone in the restaurant. It was pouring rain outside too, and i would have rather stood outside getting soaked for 30 minutes than have wasted my time coming here.
This place is way out of my area but after hearing a few nice things I thought I would try it. Plus it's right next to the subway, a few steps away.
Walking in it looks pretty casual with a friendly atmosphere. Nothing extra, just straight forward tables and a bar area at the back.
I ordered a number of things to taste and I was simply blown away! The food was so fresh. Not greasy or salty or dry like other chains who don't really care about what's on the plate. As you know God is in the details, and it was clear tasting the shrimp – it was deveined and char grilled to a point you can taste the char – this was a huge hit.
I'm a big fan of spicy sauces. I asked for it, and then I thought they forgot since it took ten minutes to show up. I realized that it was made fresh! It was so worth the wait. Once you get the chips and salsa you will be hooked.
As for drinks, it's the full bar and the margaritas are excellent. The sugar levels are perfect and there's a generous pour of tequila. I was most surprised to see a wide selection of Mezcals which is unique for even the most famous places in the city.
I can't wait to go back and try more things on the menu.
The Quick: 3-3.5 Mexican food with an extra star for amazing service and a fun spot. All about those margs.
The Details: The food is good, obviously enhanced by a few margs – the strawberry, get it. This is not the type of place I would come for an amazing meal, but with a few drinks and lots of laughs, it's a perfect spot to begin or end a rowdy night.
Everyone liked what they ordered but nothing was overly exciting. For $8 you can start with chips salsa AND guacamole… any place that doesn't charge extra for Guac can have my first born (this is why I'm not married).
They were very quick to refill the chips. The fajitas were good the burritos were good, the strawberry margarita was fantastic and the staff was perfect. — The staff are the kind of people you want to get wasted with. Overall just a really fun spot and reasonably priced.
The Damage: $12 entrees, inexpensive margs and beer… depending how much you drink, probably $20-$25 pre tip.
There is an overabundance of mediocre Mexican restaurants that charge too much in Manhattan…and this is not one of them. This is a mediocre Mexican restaurant that charges a mediocre price. As far as Manhattan goes, one might even say Mariachi's is a value.
I've been here several times, and while nothing has ever wowed me, nothing has ever disappointed me either. They don't skimp on portion size, and most dishes will not leave you wanting.
They offer the whole gamut of Mexican offerings with the same 4-5 meat offerings that come on tortillas prepared/shaped in a different manner. Personally, I feel the steak here is a little weak, and would stick with the pork and chicken.
The food was crazy good.
My corn soft taco was filled with tender carnitas and other fillings including mashed avocado. on the side was a lovely salad of spinach, tomatoes, corn and beans. Overall, the food tasted fresh and I have no complaints.
Mariachi's was a reasonably priced haven in a sea of Tribeca's shuttered luch spots or stuffy, fancy night spots.
There are margaritas, but I didn't see them on the menu. Refined margaritas? Not remotely, but they went down for me.
Mariachi's is a good, affordable place for Mexican food. It isn't a classy spot with upscale Mexican options but a casual place to get your typical selection of burritos, tacos and enchiladas. It won't be the sort of place that provides a memorable meal, but it will give you some tasty options at a reasonable price. The chicken in their meals is quite tender, and I liked it better than the steak options.
