El Mariachi Tequila Bar & Grill, on Chicago's North Broadway, is a gay-friendly restaurant and bar that's become a go-to for the LGBTQ+ community, serving good food alongside a serious liquor list. It's built for gay diners, whether you’re after a big dinner or just a low-key night with friends.
The real draw here is the tequila: over 150 bottles. You can spend an evening working through them, or just get a solid cocktail. The food menu has enough variety that most people will find something they like.
The vibe feels like a comfortable middle ground—fancy enough for a special occasion, but still easygoing enough for just dropping in. It sits right at 3906 North Broadway Street, an easy spot to find if you're out in the area.

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.
Order the enchiladas with mole, really week served and not spicy! The flan was delicious 🤤
Really good service, not really that good food.
