El Mariachi Mexican Grill — Restaurant in Pearl

Ooohwee! Probably my new favorite Mexican spot in Pearl! I ordered Menudo which is a spicy tripe soup, he got the steak fajita chimichanga with cheese sauce, we LOVE the more traditional cuts of meats like tripa, cachete, Suadero etc so we ordered 5 different tacos to share, and because our eyes are bigger than our stomachs we also got the Gordita asada.

Tripe in the menudo was thick cut which I thoroughly enjoyed, it was extremely tender and they even had tendon which I haven't seen in many menudos here.. Flavor was very mild though, but the great thing is you can always add more to your menudo, I love a ton of hot salsa/hot sauce, lime, cilantro and onions in mine. The chimichanga had a ton of steak and cheese sauce, so if you love your meat and cheese they give you plenty. Tacos were fire! Those home made tortillas were to die for!! I'm a hot sauce salsa kinda gal and I didn't need any of it. The tacos were topped with cilantro, onions and grilled onions as well.

...Now the star of it all, yallllllll go get you some gorditas!! My goodness, MY GOODNESS those were the best gorditas I've had in a while. The masa was so delicious, hot off of the presser, he doesn't like gorditas but ate most of mine! I would come back here just for this, it was absolutely 10/10!! I bet their tamales are amazing foo, but those are seasonal so I'm getting me a dozen when they start offering it again.

El Mariachi is a fantastic find! The flavors are authentic, and the food was great. The staff was welcoming and quick with service, and the dining space was very clean. The menu has typical items like burritos, enchiladas, etc. But at the back of the menu is the authentic stuff. The GOOD stuff! We started with a healthy helping of chips & salsa. Then we shared a carne asada Torta with 3 different tacos — brisket, pastor, and steak. The Torta was amazing & can feed 2 people. Definitely recommend it! Tacos were good too & worth the money. Ended the meal with a to-go cup full of Horchata & it was devine! So, so good! If you've never had Horchata, then try it while you're there! You won't be sorry. El Mariachi is a must-visit for anyone craving top-notch...

Here is the time to give thanks, Not for the will to play, then pray with tainted tales of forgotten yesterdays.

But for the breath that still lingers in those who’ve grown weary of waiting, for some, this may be the true last supper, the final taste of mercy before silence sets the table.

Do not bow for show, nor whisper for favor’s return. Let your gratitude be clean, unpolished, unlearned.

For what is faith if not a living flame that burns through the veil of borrowed names and holy claims?

If not for your lord, then why not let God be your everlasting word? Not written in stone or scripture, but spoken in kindness, breathed in forgiveness, and lived through the miracle of one...
