About this place El Mariachi Tequila Bar & Grill

El Mariachi Tequila Bar & Grill is a Mexican restaurant and bar at 3906 North Broadway, at the northern end of Chicago's Northalsted area. It's a gay-friendly mainstream place, not a gay bar, though it gets a good share of locals from the neighbourhood. The headline is the tequila list, which runs to more than 150 bottles, alongside a broad Mexican menu. It opens at 4pm Monday to Thursday, with earlier openings at weekends: 11am Friday and 10am Saturday and Sunday for brunch. Weekend evenings get busy, so book if you're a group. The Halsted Street bars are a 10 to 15 minute walk south.

We went there for end of year school party. It was on the second floor. They served the cheapestliquors. We did not eat there.the bartenders were slow and not friendly. They looked overwhelmed. It was cute. I was not impressed.

We decided to try this restaurant and it was a good choice. Food was great, seating was great, atmosphere was great and the price was very reasonable. As far as the people, the hostess was nice and greeted with a smile. Camila was our sever and she was great. I recommend checking this place out and hope you get Camila as your server. Ask her about marranitas.

El Mariachi is in a Class of its owns. Not just for the Neighborhood it is some of the Best Mexican Food in Chicago. From the “Double Crunch” chips that we always ask for Seconds on to their Generously poured and well balanced Margaritas to many menu staples that are classic but also Very thoughtfully and freshly made. The service is always thoughtful and friendly as well. We will be dining here for years to come… Roberto the GM always makes our experience special! Highly recommend this place.

Good food, portions, and pours! The blackberry jalepeno margerita was very refreshing. The servers were attentive, and the interior design is great- we liked the sky painted on the ceiling.

One of my favorite places for happy hour margaritas and appetizers. The patio is great in the summer. Service there is always kind and attentive.
