El Mariachi Mexican Grill & Bar - Lufkin (TX)

5 /5 Cathy C: First visit. Weve 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 & didnt 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.

3 /5 E Jones: 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 couldve ordered at least 5 to 7 minutes earlier than we did. I didnt 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 wouldve 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).

2 /5 Phillip Johnson: 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!

2 /5 Holly Newton: The food was very greasy. Guacamole was amazing, the salsa with chips was served hot and didnt have much flavor.
