I’m a big fan. I’ve been a handful of times, always sit at the bar, and have always received great service. The food is always good, the beer is cold, and they have the best margaritas in town.

First visit. We've been searched for a great Mexican restaurant and today we found it. My husband is the pickiest and I was looking for good tacos. I had the combo with a taco, beans, rice, cheese enchilada & a tamale. The fixings for the taco was exceptional. Lots of cheese & guacamole. The shell stayed crispy the whole meal & didn't fall apart. Delish. Hubby got the Mucho dinner and loved the enchiladas. We ordered the frio sauce and nice spice. Chips & salsa so good. Service by Teresa was good even though so busy.

El Mariachi Mexican Grill & Bar at 4609 S Medford Dr, Lufkin, TX 75901 Great place to eat, nice staff and everything was great we had Beef Rib Fajitas served with rice & charro beans, guacamole & pico de gallo with corn tortillas and 3 Enchiladas 2 with beef and 1 cheese served with rice, beans & a cheese puff. We had chips and a side order of guacamole. Prices were good and very little wait time to receive our food. We can't wait to go back and try out more items!

Quickly becoming our #1 go to place .. The" Guadalajara mix Fajitas", were to die for. Tender. Flavorful. Rainbow Rita were great....

Great food and service. Glad to have another option in Lufkin. The only drawback is the food was too good to eat off of the world’s flimsiest plastic ware. Back again a couple of years later and this margarita with a beer and tequila shot in it makes the visit worthwhile by itself, and they have real silverware now.

I sat at the bar as usual and had the top shelf Don Julio Blanco margarita, a shot of Don Julio, and was comped a Don Julio Ranch Water, all of which were Don Julio great - lol. I ordered the shrimp enchiladas and enchilada dinner to go and had all of those drinks while waiting which made the wait nonexistent. The bartender is awesome and I always enjoy the food quality and atmosphere. Always fun at the bar.

After eating here twice I can say this is one of the best, if not, THE best Mexican food restaurants in Lufkin, TX. The salsa is good and that's always a great indicator. They serve it warm which I like. You can also request a spicy green sauce and they have it. I had the combo platter and the waitress, who was very friendly, allowed me to swap out a couple of the enchiladas and get one cheese and one chicken and have them covered with enchiladas verdes sauce. It's hard to find good enchiladas verdes and these were great. The combo platter was huge and I love the way they prepped the taco because they kept the lettuce and tomatoes separate, allowing you to add them to the taco right before you eat. My wife ordered the nachos especiales and they are pictured in one of the photos. The beef was tender and seasoned just right. My wife states, "the nachos were full of flavor and the beef was tender, not chewy." The staff seemed friendly and the place was clean, but felt a little stuffy. We will certainly visit here again...likely many more times.

Give it a shot. It’s pretty good. The salsa is served warm (which is my favorite) the Micheladas are pretty dang good. Not like homemade, not the best I ever had, but pretty dang good. MUCH better than some I have had! Atmosphere is good. They have a nice bar area OR bring the family.

Took my family here on a Friday afternoon just before peak dinner time. We got seated in about 10 minutes. Our waitress, Angel8ba, was terrific! In fact, of I owned a restaurant, I would try to steal her to work. She had 10 tables plus the bar that she was serving and yet our service was better than most. Now, the food... the salsa was AMAZING! I actually bought a 16 ounce container to take home. My oldest son ordered a loaded burrito (I honestly forgot the actual name). He ordered it with ground beef, and he said the beef was seasoned really well and had a good flavor. They didn't skimp on the meat. My middle one ordered beef fajita street tacos with the absolute best corn tortillas! The youngest and my husband were boring - ate chips and cheese. However, the bowls of cheese were a good size. I ordered chicken enchiladas Verde. Be warned. The Verde sauce is very heavy on the green chiles. I was surprised with the chopped chicken breast instead of shredded chicken. I prefer shredded chicken. I did talk to the manager about that, and he said, as a new restaurant, they are really looking for customer response on the menu. If you want shredded chicken in the future, mention it so they add it to the menu! The icing on the cake... the margaritas! Oh, I would go back for chips,salsa, and the margaritas! I got the rainbow of margaritas with different flavors, and they were delicious! Give it a try!

I’ve eaten here twice and been impressed both times. The drinks are awesome (all except the Long Island…sooo much coconut!) and the food is good. Pretty fast service even when they’re busy.

We are from North Houston stopped for lunch. Food was good, service excellent. Prices great compared to where we live at! Will come back again

Prices were awesome, in fact a relief in these expensive times. The giant margaritas was priced competively and had an ok amt of liquor. The chips were not great, they shd get crispy heb chips. 😊, they were not crunchy. The combo of enchilada, tamale was ok, the refried beans need a reboot. It seemed they were from a can.

Food tasted great! So glad it wasn’t overly salty like most other Mexican restaurants in town. I ordered the quesadilla beef fajitas with bean/rice and my husband ordered the cheese enchilada meal. My only complaints would be that the chips were a lil stale and it took a while for a waiter to come take our order. I also thought the quesadillas would be bigger they almost seemed like children’s size but nonetheless they tasted amazing. Will be going back!

Overall a 3 today due to service. The lady came to the table and would leave quickly not giving us time to let her know our needs. We could've ordered at least 5 to 7 minutes earlier than we did. I didn't tip as well as I normally do because of this. I will say I did notice she was tensing bar as well. I would be inclined to overlook it because of this but we were seated right by the bar. Her service to them was what I would've expected for us - there were only two parties at the bar. From what I could see the other table she tended across the way received the same service we did (an assumption so could be wrong).

Went out with a group of coworkers and the service wasn't as good this time. It was a weeknight, so it wasn't super busy. My shrimp tacos came with corn tortillas instead of flour as advertised. And the steak on the steak fajita tacos was dried out. Hoping for a better experience if I give this place another try.

To me the food is really good. The salsa varies on taste depending on the day it seems. The fajitas though are amazing. Used to come here often until a visit I had around a month ago. That visit I was seated to a table and 20 minutes went by and no server came over. Weird because it was after lunch and there were maybe 5 other tables that had guests there. I gave my menu back and left. I decided to give them another chance tonight… I was seated and got my food fast this time but I maybe saw my waitress one time. Again not very busy it was around 8:15PM. Got up to get my own refill and what seems to be the head waitress took my cup with major attitude. Don’t know what happened to this place over the last few months. I’ll have to give that new place across the street a try!

The food was very greasy. Guacamole was amazing, the salsa with chips was served hot and didn't have much flavor.

I visited this place today — only my second time here. When I first sat down, before I’d even looked at the menu, I asked for some green sauce and the waitress brought it. Later I asked for another, and that’s when I was told it’s $1 per bowl. I declined and told her I wouldn’t have ordered the first one had I known there was a charge. I assumed they’d use a little common sense and not charge me for something I was never told cost extra — but they did. I spoke with a woman in a blue shirt at the counter (who appeared to be a manager) and told her that this $1 bowl of green sauce earned them a one-star review because of the hidden fee. She refused to give me her name, though she had no problem giving me someone else’s when I asked for a manager’s contact. To be honest, the food isn’t great anyway. I won’t be back — all over a dollar and the principle behind it. They must have really needed that dollar, because they chose this review instead of simply not taking it from me.

Food is alright nothing special I’ve had better I’ve had worse. My server she was lovely. The place feels dirty and guess what according to food inspections it is. Nothing fits like you can tell they bought used stuff and just threw it in there and it doesn’t fit. We need to stop with the fabuloso it doesn’t clean it masks it doesn’t disinfect and it smells horrible.

Horrible customer service. Placed an online order for a lunch salad as part of a group order while at work. Someone else went to pick it up I received NOTHING that I actually ordered and was charged way more for the item I received (that I can’t even eat). When I attempted to call them to rectify the situation they just kept repeating that I could come by and pick up the right order despite me being at work and unable to do so. Ended up not even being able to eat the item received because it was cold and unflavorful. Will not be back.
