El Mariachi - Calumet City

Usually you'll get free chips and salsa, not here. Your first portion is TINY and your second portion you'll need to pay. We ordered guacamole and queso, did not come with chips. I was confused, because we were only served like 5 chios to begin with. Then I ordered chicken fajitas. Usually it's a big portion. Nooo. I got the food and was like, where's the rest. When I went to pay... I was shocked to find out that my food was over 26.99 for my tiny little kid like portion. Was it bad bc I was in IL and I'm use to IN portions and prices? Anyway, it was a Saturday night, one waitress. I was curious, but bc it's so high, no one comes in. Wish I new that before hand.

I understand that prices are high every where but I went to El Marachi and ordered 6 steak taco's no extra anything and the bill came out to $30.64 . Since basically they are charging $5 per taco which wouldn't be an issue if it had alot of meat .but it wasn't alot of meat at all.i feel like they going over the top with those prices ...I won't be going back

Went in for breakfast. Asked for juice and some scrambled eggs.. After 25 minutes and not even service, I cancelled the order after waiting for 26 minutes.. they still charged me 6.45 for a soda and fountain drink!!! Really!????

In consideration of the cost of food, they would expect a raised place or a little more food for their money, especially in these times. the dinning area is quite outdated and eating cabins are a bit small, but this does not stop them from charging about $20 for 4 tacos. a piece of cheesecake is almost $7 and taco dinner at about $16. if the portions of food or even the noticeable experience were worth it, I would not really have the price in the sense, but unfortunately they are not. you should eat better from a Mom Pop-Taco spot than go to torrence in el mariachis in calumet city.

This restaurant offers some of the best food around. Everything on the menu is fantastic, and the staff is amazing. My orders are always hot, fast, and accurate. While the drive-thru line can be lengthy, it moves quickly.
