El Mariachi Restaurant

I am not sure that 5 stars is enough. We have been there a couple of times now and have NOT been disappointed. Amazing authentic tacos. I felt like I was eating street food in Mexico City. The ELOTE is huge, fresh corn, seasoned & cooked perfectly! I am a local and these are the BEST tacos I have ever had here. It's hard to choose between soft or hard shell because they are both so delicious. Fresh produce and fruit. The fruit slush was OUTSTANDING. This is a place that I would like to eventually try everything on their menu because I know it is going to be delicious, fresh and a great value every time. The owner Erika and her family/staff are amazing, warm, welcoming people. The RATINGS are NOT wrong. Go. Don't walk, run.

This is AUTHENTIC Mexican food and was the most delightful surprise. Erika is the mother and owner who clearly takes pride in preparing each dish with love. Having traveled all over Mexico, we can attest this is the best Mexican food we’ve eaten stateside. Do yourself a favor and order the carnitas tacos, the aqua Fresca with mango or strawberries AND definitely try the chicken or pork tamales. This is one of the finest small businesses in the entire beach area. Our recommendation is to read the menu, order ahead and eat by the beach. The location is in the main flea market building and is perfect for takeout, although they do have a nice seating area adjacent. You won’t regret it! This is the best kept secret! We are from the Charlotte area and will visit Erika and her family on our next

My girlfriend and I bought two tortas from here and it is hands down the best tortas we've had from any Mexican restaurant. You could definitely tell they were made with love.

Stopped by here while shopping on a whim and had to come back two days later for more! Delicious street corn and tacos! We will definitely be coming back frequently! I wish I had pictures to post but the food was so yummy we ate it before we had the chance to snap a pic. Super friendly staff too!

Amazing place, definitely must try if you love AUTHENTIC MEXICAN FOOD! No extra fluff just the good stuff, such kind staff and such a cute eating area. A total hidden gem 💎
