El Mariachi Hondureño — Restaurant in Foley

Foremost, this is a Honduran Restuarant and NOT a Mexican Restuarant! Please, quit calling this Mexican! They fly a Honduran flag inside over the kitchen. I suggest that every post from 1, 2. 3 years ago that calls this Mexican be removed from the review process because the reviewer was not aware of what was being reviewed. I did not know that they accepted cash only until I read some reviews. It is how I pay these days because too many people will take your credit card info, sell the information, and the next thing you know is your credit card company is calling you on a fraud alert as what happened to me at a gas station in Magnolia Springs a few years ago. I ordered the Super Burrito and it was really large. It was filled with rice, beans, beef, guacamole, tomatoes, and other stuff. I made the mistake of putting hot sauce (red salsa) on the first cut of the burrito and spent a few minutes with an extreme burn on my tongue and in my mouth. I asked for bread but there was none. My waiter, the young man, brought 2 oriole cookies that made a big difference. The cookies deadened the burn from the extremely hot sauce. The green sauce was not as hot as the red but was watery tasting. I ate all the burrito but without the sauces. I was disappointed that there was no chips and dip. I was disappointed that there was no side order with the burrito, like beans and rice or salad stuff. But the burrito was loaded with rice. It had a few beans, but looked naked all alone on the plate. I would rate the service as needing improvement. There was no friendly greeting. They all seemed unsured as to what they should speak...Spanish or English. Hey. You are in America! The language is English! Learn it. Say hello. Be friendly. Watch your customers! When customers look to you, it is because they need you. You earn tips by watching your customers and promptly going to their table to find out what they need. Take the bill to them. I asked for the bill and was waved or motioned to come to the register. I was not given a bill but given a price of $12. That was for a bottle of water and the burrito. Every one knows that bills do not come in rounded figures like $10, $12, $14. At this place, I guess they do not charge tax. Plus not giving a customer a paper bill saves on paper.

Remember, folks, this is HONDURAN. NOT MEXICAN!! QUIT...

On a mini vacation googled Mexican restaurants, this one came up along with TacoBell. Sorry to say, I think I would’ve been more impressed and satisfied with TacoBell. To start with, we got there at around 6:45pm tonight a FRIDAY. We ordered our drinks——Sweet tea, our waitress tells us, “sorry we are out of sweet tea, it’s been a busy day “ Lol, What? Never have I been to a Mexican restaurant that we didn’t love the sweet tea, it goes together! They had unsweet, which we had to ASK for the sweetener, which was sweet n low, it did NOT taste good at all! Then we had to ask for chips and salsa. We usually order the queso and extra Pico to add in the salsa because we like the extra chunky salsa this one was SO watery it TRULY needed it but we didn’t bother with the queso because it took a good while to get the Pico. The California Burrito was not what we are used to at our hometown Mexican restaurant and the chicken and beef tacos were very lacking in meat. Was NOT happy, would NOT recommend and will not return. Very sad representation of Authentic...

Before the quarantine my mother and I loved to get the authentic tacos from here. We always had great service, great food, and a great atmosphere. I made a to go order today for 5 al pastor tacos & some chips w/ salsa. They said it would take thirty minutes. It had been 30 minutes and I pulled up to see they take CASH ONLY which I was not informed of over the phone so I had to go all the way to regions bank in Foley, AL to take money out. I pull back up and go inside to pick up my order and it was still not ready they haven’t even started making it, and there were only two tables of people eating inside. I wait for ten minutes just for her to tell me they just ran out of Al pastor tacos when I ordered them almost an hour ago. So disappointed that this place turned into what it is now. It used to be...
