EL MARIACHI MEXICAN GRILL is expansive, with a large, heated, tent-covered patio. Inside and outside, this sports centric eatery has enough big-screen televisions to emulate a Best Buy. The restaurant is homage to old Mexico, complete with riding saddles resting on the crossbeams in the main dining area. Corn chips, bean-cheese dip and vegan salsa are provided at each table. The menu is populated with familiar Mexican dishes. Our server, Orquidea, who has been with the restaurant for five years, described the ingredients of the many dishes on the menu. (For example, the black beans are vegan, containing no animal products, however the rice is prepared with chicken broth.) She pointed out that Chef Roberto and his staff will do everything possible to match special dietary requirements. I ordered an off-menu, vegan burrito. It arrived in a few minutes. The approximately footlong burrito was, give or take, three inches in diameter. In other words, it was huge. The oversized tortilla encased gently stir-fried vegetables with black beans. It arrived toasted and lightly sauced. It was "muy bueno." The twelve year old restaurant lives up to its name, by providing live Mariach music on the weekends. El Mariachi offers lots of special offers. Here are a few: On Sunday's all you can drink Mimosas. Half off on Mondays on everything but alcohol. Everyday, Mexican meals are cooked to order on a BeniPaisa; a Benihana style grill. The restaurant and bathrooms are ADA compatible. At lunch and dinner low-cost valet parking is required. (There is little nearby street parking.) Online or telephone orders are accepted for pickup or delivery by DoorDash. "Mariachi" is thought to have derived from the French "mariage" (marriage). The joyful sound first became popular entertainment in the 1860s. (Google) The eatery opened in 2010. Vegetarian options: The chef created an off menu, gigantic, delicious, vegan taco. Parking: Very limited parking. Street parking is about half-a-block away. Wheelchair accessibility: Everything is easily accessible.

Everything is fine, although I don't like the noise very much. But the atmosphere looked good.
