El Mariachi Cafe

El Mariachi Cafe offers a decent experience, but there’s room for improvement in both food and service. Veggie Tacos: The veggie tacos were a bit underwhelming. They were overly saucy, which made them messy to eat and overshadowed the other flavors. The raw onions did add a much-needed crunch, but the tacos as a whole lacked the crispness I was hoping for. Service: The service was just okay. They seem to have a system where only a few people can order at a time, which felt a bit restrictive and almost forced. It wasn’t the most welcoming experience, and it slowed things down unnecessarily. Ambience: Seating is located outside the ordering area and offers a decent, shady setup. However, the ambience felt pretty average and didn’t particularly stand out. It’s functional but not somewhere

It's an all outdoor seating authentic Mexican Restaurant in beautiful Occidental. Whatever you order is cooked from fresh ingredients obtained in Sonoma County. You dine outside amongst the beautiful trees in the downtown area. You must go inside to order your food, which will be brought out to you.

Amazing food! The shredded chicken is so juicy and perfect, and the carne asada is authentic and full of flavor! So glad I stopped in, I’m bookmarking it so I can come back!

The ceviche tostada was pretty good. I enjoyed it with the chips and salsa and a soft drink.

Wonderful Mexican restaurant with many good vegetarian options. We got one veggie burrito and one chile relleno burrito with jaimaca. The staff are great and kind. Meals come with chips and salsa- which is especially delicious!
