Customer Reviews

"My husband and I tried Mariachiles today for the first time, and we were not disappointed! The queso and salsa both tasted fresh and flavorful. I got the beef barbacoa chimichanga, and my husband got quesabirria tacos. We both agreed that they put plenty of meat in our meals, which was great. The only downside was that the prices were a bit high (queso was $9 for a small bowl), and there was an extra charge for using credit card, but other than that we loved the food."

"I would give an 8 star review instead of 5! I've came here probably 6 times now and it's the best Mexican food I've had ever. Hispanic food is truly my favorite and this place will keep it at being my favorite. Hispanic people cook with lots of love and their cooking is worth every tip."

"This little Mexican restaurant that is downtown Palatka has some great food and has some potential to be an amazing restaurant especially with the Renaissance that is happening downtown and how business is building up in the area. The quality of the food is pretty good and the presentation is pretty much what you would expect for most Mexican restaurants. I would say that my biggest issues are that the portion sizes for some of their pricier plates could be a little bit more, the hotter salsa is very vinegary and runny, the atmosphere and Decor could definitely stand to have a little bit more cleanliness, and the service definitely needs to be improved a little bit...... of the three times I have been here two of the times we had to wait 10 minutes just for our server to come and take our payment. Because of how close it is to an excellent Brewery I will more than likely be back but if I had to choose a different Mexican restaurant over this Mexican restaurant that was within walking distance, I would probably choose the other one."

"My husband and I wanted somewhere new to try on our road trip. I walked in and the place smelled fresh and clean. The food was fresh and fast. I normally get a upset stomach from Mexican places but no upset tummy. I would have loved some more chicken in my fajita mix but that's my only complaint. My husband got the massive burrito and a mini taco. The queso was amazing! I will definitely go back to this place !"

"Food was so good I forgot to feed the phone first. Great authentic Mexican food, friendly staff, big margaritas. What's not to love?"

- Andrew E.

"Went here (shamefully) 30 mins before closing. We didn't want to be too much trouble, but we are traveling and were starving, so we quickly ordered a few tacos. They were so good! And the salsa was really good, too. Tasted strongly of cilantro, which I like, so no problem for me. The waitress kept our glasses full."
