If you're looking for great Mexican food near Journal Square, Mi Mariachi is as good as it gets. This restaurant is a family owned business. Just a few blocks away from the Journal Square Path train. Inside, they have seating and you can usually see a Mexicana abuela in the kitchen on the grill, so you know it's authentic. They typically have waitress service for dine-in. Everyone is generally very nice. Ive only had a few dishes here, but everyone single one tasted excellent from the tacos, to the burritos, and oh boy the fajitas are my hands down favorits. You can typically expect a 10-15 minute wait for dishes to be prepared, which is well worth it. And the prices here are all fair, fajitas run $10 -$14 depending on your choice of meat. With that said, they only accept cash bills and quarters. Yes, that means no dimes, nickels, or pennies - go figure. Overall, Mi Mariachi has the best Mexican food for the money you will find anywhere near Journal Square.

There are plenty of options to choose from, including vegetarian. We ordered the Tostada, and a burrito both were packed with flavor and came with sauces on the side. I just found my new favorite place.

I came across this while looking for Mexican food. I feel so lucky to find this place. It was served more food than I thought and the food was really fresh and delicious. I want to try all kinds of tacos here.

One of the best and authentic Mexican food places in the area. Made with love and customizable. Warm service. Made to order. Cute mexican interior♥️ Carry cash with you though :)

Absolutely delicious! Large portions, great service, and phenomenal prices. We got an order of nachos, tacos and fajitas for $34 and had leftovers. Notes: BYO - They’ll put your extra cervezas in their fridge if you ask! Cash only! They have an ATM on site.

Stumbled upon this place while visiting NJ and went there twice consecutively out of our 4 nights stay. Loved their lengua/beef tongue burrito, had to order twice. So filling and so good!

I love this place. We used to order food from here at least 3 times a week before we moved away from jersey city. One of the most authentic and best mexican food to get in jersey city. Veggie burrito, al pastor tacos, chicken burrito and chicken fajitas are our usual order. Ask them to add onion and jalapeños in burritos. If you love tacos, get spicy pork tacos, carnitas tacos. Great food. Never had bad experience.

We ordered tongue tacos and they were delicious. The first time I tried it was in Bronx and I didn't care for it, but this Mexican restaurant, Mi Mariachi, cooked it so well that we went again and ordered it again. This time, I ordered also champurrados to compare with the Filipino champorado. They were delicious but a little too sweet. Other than those, I would go back and try other things on the menu. I'm sure they're just as delicious.

Excellent Guaraches, I had the Chorizo with everything it was fantastic. Everything was cooked fresh. I will try the tacos and the tamales next time I’m around Jersey City. Lengua Guaraches are very good

Do NOT order online. I'm disappointed because I like their food, (well, usually I like it, but this time I don't know because they never actually completed my order), but now I know to only call or walk in. I ordered online, received a confirmation email and an estimated delivery time of 50 minutes. 90 minutes later, I call the phone number listed on the confirmation email to ask about the order. They answer the phone and tell me they did not receive the order and don't send confirmation emails, and suggested I had ordered from a different restaurant. I repeat that I ordered online, received an email that said they received the order, and this was the phone number listed on the email. Then they check again, see the order IS there, and told me they missed it earlier. But they are now closed, so I'm out of luck. I'm not sure why they even answered the phone if they were closed. So, the lesson learned is do not try to order online. They may not check their online orders and you will be waiting for an hour and a half for food that isn't actually coming.

I was excited to go. With my children on a lunch date. Well the food was horrible. The staff was very friendly. The food was not. So late that evening our stomachs started to bubble. Than I started to vomit. I will not refer nobody here sorry.
