This is traditional Mexican food. Its delicious and not that chingadera you get at Taco Bell. Its delicious (did I say this again), local, and fair priced. Honest people making good food for locals. What more can you ask for.

Wow, El Mariachi Deli Restaurant was simply extremely good. The prices are very reasonable, especially considering its location. Every single menu item that we purchased was very fresh and yummy. The service was great. They were fast, reliable, and got everything right. El Mariachi Deli Restaurant - What a treat.

This used to be a fried chicken/Chinese food restaurant. I didn't notice that they had remodeled and are now exclusively selling Mexican food. The restaurant is spacious enough to eat comfortably without feeling crammed in (referring to pre-Covid19). Now like many restaurants are doing they have chairs and tables outside. The food here has always been on point. They are courteous and provide good service. English is limited sometimes when you call on the phone, but besides that I enjoy eating from here. My go to is the Quesadillas Mexicanas you get 3 for $12. Think of them as HUGE tacos filled with lots of meat and all the delicious Mexican works inside. They are $5 if you buy them individually. They also have Guacamole in different sizes. $5 gets you a 8oz cup filled to the top with guacamole and the usual chips. If you are in the neighborhood and never tried it, then the time has come!
