With so much competition for Latin cuisine in Chicago it is always exciting to find that extra special place. Some Mexican dishes can be simple to make but the presentation will set things apart. Quality of food is also important and with a family owned business like El Mariachi you can taste the difference.
The place is usually packed and has led to other locations and expansions of the brand. On Sundays the brunch is a perfect example of how busy this place can be so arrive early for the bottomless mimosa drinks. The platanos with french toast is a must try item.
