Last Monday was Memorial Day, so I thought I’d go and have a memorable Mexican feast at Mariachi Mexican Restaurant Bar & Grill.
And that’s exactly what I did, so there!

Bar Number 129: Mariachi Mexican Restaurant Bar & Grill. Monday, May 25, 2026
Check out the sign! I don’t know how these places know we’re coming here, I never announce it!
Let’s go in and see what’s shaking in here on the Memorial Day evening.
There’s the front station where you wait to be seated, but we’re sitting at the bar, so we’ll just head on in and grab a seat at the end of the aforementioned bar.
Adrian was the friendly bartender on duty and he served me up a bottle of Corona with a nice smile. Then he took my dinner order and we are off and running this evening!
There’s a shot of the other end of the bar where the frozen margarita machines are located and there’s the eight beers on tap behind the bar.
Here’s some chips, queso dip and salsa for an appetizer. The queso dip was really tasty and had a little bit of a kick to it.
There’s a row of gaming machines over here in this corner if you’re in the mood to gamble in-between dinner courses.
There’s a row of communal tables directly behind the bar and comfortable booths line the far wall.
The main dining room has booths and dining tables to enjoy your food and drinks at.
This guy is standing guard over everything, but he never says much. He’s the strong and silent type!
Meanwhile, back at the bar…
Dinner is served!
I got three steak tacos and it came with a plate of rice. They gave me extra rice because I wisely told them to hold the beans!
Everything looks fabulous, let’s dig in to our Memorial Day meal!
I added some chopped onions and hot sauce to the tacos and they were simply delicious! A wonderful Mexican Memorial Day meal!
For dessert I got a tasty margarita! Cheers and we’ll see you all tomorrow!
