Our Story
El Mariachi Mexican Restaurant is more than just a place to eat; it’s a heartfelt tribute to the vibrant culture and flavors of Mexico, nestled in the charming town of Austin, MN. The journey to opening this beloved establishment began in Missouri, where our founder dreamed of creating a restaurant that brought people together over delicious food. During a drive through Austin, the beauty and warmth of the town captured their heart, leading to the decision to set up shop in this welcoming community.
What sets El Mariachi apart is the inviting atmosphere that makes every guest feel at home. Our restaurant is designed for comfort, encouraging customers to savor their meals without feeling rushed. Many patrons fondly recall their own childhood visits, and now they bring their children to experience the same joy and tradition. This family-oriented approach has helped us forge lasting connections within the community, making El Mariachi a cherished gathering spot for generations.
Our menu is a celebration of authentic Mexican cuisine, featuring a diverse selection of dishes that cater to all tastes. From hearty burritos and crispy nachos to fresh salads and succulent prawns, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Our specialties, such as mangonadas and micheladas, provide a unique twist that keeps customers coming back for more. Savory tamales, flavorful fajitas, and street tacos are just a few highlights that showcase the rich culinary heritage we aim to represent.
As we look to the future, we are excited about expanding our reach within the Austin community and beyond. We plan to increase our catering services, bringing the taste of El Mariachi to more events and celebrations. Our banquet hall, a hidden gem in our restaurant, is also available for rent and will be promoted more actively, allowing us to host various gatherings, from family reunions to corporate events.
At El Mariachi, we are committed to continuously serving the Austin and surrounding areas with the same passion and dedication that inspired our inception. We believe that food has the power to bring people together, and we look forward to creating more memories for our guests in the years to come.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
El Mariachi Mexican Restaurant continues to be one of the most reliable and enjoyable dining spots in the area. Every time I visit, the experience is consistently positive, which says a lot about the pride this place puts into both their service and their food. The restaurant itself is always clean, comfortable, and well-kept, with a relaxed atmosphere that’s perfect whether you’re dining solo, with friends, or with family. It’s steady, welcoming, and never chaotic, which I really appreciate.
I want to give a special shout-out to my waiter, Will, because he truly stands out. He’s warm, attentive, and always makes sure everything is exactly how it should be. He treats me with genuine kindness every time I come in, and that level of personal service is rare these days. It honestly makes a difference and is one of the major reasons I return as often as I do. The rest of the staff has always been friendly, professional, and consistent as well, which really shows how well this place is run.
The food is excellent across the board, but my go-to favorite will always be the chicken fajitas. They arrive sizzling hot, full of flavor, and with perfectly cooked veggies and tender meat. Everything tastes fresh, well-seasoned, and made with care. Portion sizes are generous, and I never leave disappointed.
If you’re looking for great food, great service, and a dependable dining experience, El Mariachi is absolutely worth visiting.

El Mariachi always has incredible food. Child and salsa are too tier, and I highly recommend the Chori Borrito.

In town for a local delivery and found this place on Google Maps. I was greeted immediately upon walking in and seated promptly. Have I mentioned the salsa yet? Fire!!! Sooo good!!! I asked my server if they make it and they make the salsa in-house. I ordered the Quesadilla Mariachi. My order came out within minutes and was fresh and hot. Staff is super welcoming and price was very reasonable. If I’m ever back here from Kentucky this place will be on my list to stop at again!!! Great place and food!

Taco salad was flavorful and great price - even came with option to add chips with queso on the side. Free chips and salsa (2 rounds) and decent margaritas. Will definitely visit again!
