El Mariachi Tequila Bar & Grill
our story
Established in 1996, a father and his 2 sons opened a small 10-table restaurant in the Boystown/East Lakeview community.
El Mariachi has gradually grown over the years by following a strict policy of only serving top quality, authentic dishes and margaritas.
The restaurant steadily grew in popularity with the support of loyal patrons who loved the family's recipes of authentic food. The authentic Mexican experience is enhanced with imported handcrafted decor and artwork, intimate lighting and festive music.
So next time you're in the Lakeview area, make sure you stop by and visit your amigos at El Mariachi for an exhilarating experience. Make sure to also check out our private patio and our $34.99 Bottomless Mimosa Brunch on Friday, Saturday & Sunday! Package includes Bottomless mimosas for 2 hours and an entrée from our Brunch Menu.
