| - After having visited a number of mexican restaurants in Toronto, i was baffled at how few good mexican restaurants Toronto really has.
I can't even recall the number of times that i got up from a $20-$30 dinner from a nice mexican restaurant and thought about hitting up taco bell to quench that thirst for the perfect mexican meal. Over time, i have learnt that what i was looking for was more of a tex-mex restaurant, kinda like sneaky dees which is amazing for those types of foods.
When it comes to actual mexican food though, i think Mariachi's is the real deal. You start with a very satisfying guacamole dip that will leave you questioning whether or not you even want to order an entree or scrap that idea and replace it with a stomach ache full of guac! Four of us went and each tried something different off of the dinner menu, after sampling everyone's food i was shocked to see that all of the food was actually really good. Also noteworthy is the hot sauce. Only available upon request, but coming from a pakistani/indian...its spicey...and its good spicey! Not frank's spicey, but the kind that goes really well wtih mexican food.
With a live mariachi band, a nice patio, and a delightful drink menu, this restaurant makes for a very nice date place. Fair prices (under $20), good tasting food with quality ingredients. Portions were fair and there was nothing but happy faces in this establishment! A great addition to the Yonge and Eglington area and finally a sit-down mexican restaurant worthy of taking your family or date to.
