| - Wow - absolutely everything was wrong. Hadn't been here in years, although had a vague recollection the margaritas and food were good. I guess when it's dark outside you don't notice how dirty and tired the place is. Stairs to washrooms in basement are dangerous to start with. The rubber matting on the stairs is buckling and washroom feels somewhat less than clean. I actually made a reservation for lunch (silly me) as the place used to always be busy. There was one other table occupied when we arrived, this on a Friday at Yonge & Eg. Even the menus are dirty - the coated plastic variety that never seem to get wiped down. Ditto for the dessert menus. Pretty basic menu of Tex- Mex which was disappointing. We ordered the guacamole which was nice and fresh, and the mixed fajitas for two, which were nothing special, in fact, make better ones at home myself. Toppings include some shredded lettuce, a tiny bit of sour cream, and a little bit of grated cheese. But the kicker was when we received the bill, which seemed a little high. Guacamole on the menu is $6,95, yet they charged $8,95, double fajitas $24.95, and they tried to charge us $32.95 on the bill. When we pointed out the error to the waiter he said he would have to call the owner (on his cell phone). I said there was no point in calling the owner, as it was illegal to charge us different than the advertised amount on the menu. Will definitely never go back, and suspecting that Mariachi's is not long for the restaurant world.
