Friends weren't sure of the place at first, but once we got our food, we couldn't stop saying how good it was. The banana de goyo was fantastic as well. We all wanted to go back for dinner the next night.

Awesome food! If you're looking for good eats this is the place to go. Family friendly. We went in with a 6 year old, two 4 year olds and a 2 year old and the service was excellent. The only bad thing I can say about this place is the parking.

Love the shrimp but the food is pricey. Best Mexican food on the Windward side. The hot sauce is great!

At last a hole in the wall Mexican joint. Perfect location along side of gas station in downtown Kaneohe. Service not amazing but food is worth the wait and hassle of getting a weird table. I hope they stay around. Good eats!

Hit the El Mariachi for the first time yesterday. Stopped by for a late lunch. As others mentioned, it's a hole in the wall with maybe 15 tables. Even though it was after 3:00, the chef prepared all the dishes from scratch. We had the Chili Rojo, the Mariachi Tacos (with habanero salsa) and Sopa's. Every dish was outstanding. Oh,... More

Generally speaking, we don't have great Mexican food in Hawaii, but I rated El Mariachi "very good" because they are hands down the best I've had on the island. And I'm not just saying that because they're in my home town. They also have good service, a wide variety on their menu, and they are making an effort to offer... More

It doesn't look like much from the outside, but don't let that dissuade you. The food is great, and the restaurant is very family friendly.

Terrible service and not very good food. After seeing a rat come out of the kitchen, I told one of the rude and lazy waitresses. She said most restaurants have rat infestations. I asked for the check and went to a nice and clean Japanese place down the road.

El Mariachi is our go to Mexican Resturant. Far more authentic than many of the others. particularly good chile verde with slow cooked pork done to perfection. The staff is very responsive and family oriented.
