Always great food here and as close to authentic Mexican food as you can find in Burlington County. When you walk in, you are welcomed by their hand designed and painted tables and chairs from Mexico. They are stunning. This time I opted for the Chorizo Enchiladas, which were delicious. Love the rice and always enjoy the extra with a fried egg on top the next morning. Highly recommend.

If you’re in the Columbus, NJ area and craving flavorful, authentic Mexican food, El Mariachi Loco Mexican Grill is a spot you need to check out. It’s become a local favorite, and after eating there, it’s easy to see why. First off, the service is great—super friendly and fast, even when it gets busy. You never feel like you’re waiting around, and the staff makes you feel welcome from the second you walk in. The portion sizes are generous, and you get a lot of high-quality food for what you pay. Whether you’re ordering a burrito, tacos, or something off their full entrée menu, you’ll leave full and satisfied. The burritos especially are solid—hearty, flavorful, and well put together, and the rest of the menu holds up just as well. Everything is seasoned perfectly and cooked with care. T

Arrived here today at 2ish pm. The decor so cool and pretty. Felt like we’re somewhere in Mexico. The hostess was also our waiters based from our receipt her name is Yeni. She was friendly, helpful and had great attitude. Food was pretty good. Nothing to complain.

We came here because the place was advertised as authentic Mexican food. Upon arrival we were seated and given a "salsa" that was JUST tomato sauce. When we asked for a more spicy salsa (hoping they would break out the real stuff) we were brought two small cups- one of heated up hot sauce, and the other of heated up tomatillo salsa. I ordered the queso dip, which is literally a fajita dish filled with half melted flavorless Fiesta blend cheese and three warmed corn tortillas to put your globs of cheese on. Not at all what you'd expect a queso dip to be. At this point I gave up on ordering more and left before suffering through another failed dish. My recommendation: do some research, rework your menu, and hire a chef with enough dignity to serve a dish suited for someone over 4 years old

Visited El Mariachi Loco Mexican Grill in Columbus, NJ. Has really improved their food and service. Nice atmosphere with pleasant background music. A wide variety of menu selections yielding GREAT tasting food in ample portions. We both had the Tres Carnes Platter; (Carne Asada, Pork El Pastor, and Mexican Chicken) with Refried Beans and Mexican Style Rice. On subsequent visits we also tried the Burito El Pastor Platter, Hawaiian Fajita Platter, and the Chicken Chimichanga Platter. Disappointed with their salsa, but they do have FRESH Pico de Gallo. Overall very good food for a local Mexican meal that is far above what one would expect. With many visits here, I have not been disappointed. They can accomidate single diners, couples, families, and even large groups.
