EL MARIACHI - Bremen in Bremen

Came in spontaneously on a Saturday evening, but they still looked for a way to find a place for us - even without a reservation. Had a fajita with feta cheese. Great taste. The only incentive would be to serve more tortillas, which ended up being a bit too short. Otherwise really very good!

A little different place. Extensive Mexican food selection. Attentive, very friendly staff Delicious 😋 very generous portions Gladly again

I've eaten here several times. It always tasted good too. Unfortunately it wasn't like that this time. The meat was very dry and tough. The taste was also a lot better. It was also very loud.

This was by far the worst food I have ever experienced in a restaurant in Germany. The meat had freezer burn and was completely tasteless. The “salad” consisted of a few loveless leaves with a spoonful of sour cream on top, and that was the culinary highlight of the evening. For a Tex-Mex restaurant to put so little flavor on the plate is a real achievement. Our entire table of eight people left the restaurant hungry. Absolutely not recommended!

We were looking forward to a great meal here two weeks ago because we had heard that the place was at least quite tasty some time ago. The starter 13. Queso De Oveja Frito was tasty and presentable. But that was all. The 144th Enchilada Con Chili Con Carne was visually horrible, tasted absolutely lower class, and the Chili Con Carne was just black beans and no seasoning or anything. The 156th Burrito Al Mariachi was just as much of a disaster in terms of taste. It was visually a lot more attractive and had more variety inside, but the meat tasted like cheap rotten meat and not like something you would like to eat. The drinks looked and tasted pretty good, although in my opinion there was a bit too much alcohol in the mojito and the supposed cane sugar was normal white sugar (there is a difference in taste and so it wasn't what was promised). Overall, I wouldn't come back here again, because in every snack bar that offers Mexican, the food is much better and at most half the price. And I won't even start with homemade food because that would be even better and even cheaper. Oh, and when we paid we told the waitress that the food was rather bad and the only answer we received was a simple “Everyone has different tastes”. Therefore my recommendation: If you want to drink a lot of alcohol and prefer not to eat or only eat appetizers, this could be something for you, otherwise it's best to avoid it.

This place was a nice surprise due to its big portions. The food was decent, but I have had better Mexican food. However, my dish was still flavourful and overall the experience was good. The service was also good as well as the atmosphere. Probably it’s one of the best places in Bremen for Mexican food, as there aren’t many at this level.

Food very good and tasty! The group table was very loud. Headache after leaving the restaurant. Friendly staff See you soon.

Really bad food: some frozen stuff from a discount store. I can make it myself at home for a quarter of the price. It's a mystery to me that restaurants that offer something like this can stay on the market. The cocktail gave me a headache.

Very crowded and loud, not suitable for sitting together comfortably as you feel like you have to shout at each other. The food was delicious but unfortunately also grossly overpriced. Ambience more suitable for pre-drinking/cocktails

Unfortunately an absolute disappointment! We were at El Mariachi and were looking forward to a nice evening with good Mexican food - but unfortunately the opposite was the case. We ordered the beef fajita twice, but what we got was a disgrace. Hardly any meat on the plate, almost only vegetables - and that for the price! When we raised this with the waitress, our concerns were completely listened to but ignored. No excuse, no solution – just disinterest. But that wasn't all: there was hair on our side plates - on both of them! Absolutely disgusting and an absolute no-go in a restaurant. We celebrated a birthday there, but instead of a nice evening, we only took frustration and disgust home with us. The service was friendly, the food was a disappointment and the hygiene was catastrophic. Definitely never again! Absolutely not recommended.

We eat here once every 1-2 years. What I think is a shame is that the nachos are not only available with cheese but only without anything or with minced meat The cocktails are delicious here and well priced too

People very polite, beautiful place but food is not Mexican.

Very nice Mexican restaurant in Schwachhausen. Unfortunately a bit crowded and therefore very loud... but we made a reservation on the same day and got a table... very polite staff and nice service. The food was also very tasty... you can go there every now and then...

Super tasty and authentic food. Price performance is also top. The food came very quickly and the staff was very attentive All in all nothing to complain about. The borritos and fajitas in particular are highly recommended.

Despite the additional heating, it was far too cold in the restaurant. We had to put our jackets back on, as did the guests at the neighboring tables. The owner turned off the additional heating without asking us👎👎. What a disgrace - the guests are that important to her. The service was always super friendly but couldn't change anything. Never here again!!!!!

Nice.. cozy restaurant with nice interiors and a large outdoor terrace. Also very suitable for larger groups. Extensive range of food and drinks (with happy hours). Very tasty. The service is very attentive and friendly

Very tasty, great selection and also a nice selection of cocktails, but the advertising, including for contraceptives against sexually transmitted diseases, is played on a monitor in the dining area is a bit irritating and not what I want to see while eating

I was a guest at El Mariachi with my family today and we are thrilled. Very cozy and friendly staff. The food was plentiful and very tasty. We will continue to reserve a table there. Thank you for the lovely evening.

Immer wieder gern. Nettes Personal, lecker Essen.

It was my first time eating there with a larger group. The service was extremely nice and patient and explained various things to us. Despite the large group, the food came to the tables quickly after good consultation. The food was excellent. And the other people in the group didn't have anything negative to say either. So I can really recommend the restaurant. The price/performance ratio is okay. I'd love to come back. Thanks for that.

Cozy, very tasty and plentiful, huge selection, including cocktails, and the price is still acceptable

Nice, fast and attentive service. The food delicious and hot.🔥 👍

I've been here several times and haven't been disappointed yet. The food is very 😋 tasty and the portion is quite decent. The service is quick and very friendly. However, when the restaurant is very busy, the background noise is unfortunately very high. Nevertheless, I would like to come back. 😁

Super tasty food - attentive service - would love to come back

What can I say about that now... Building is awesome. Food is awesome. Cocktails are awesome. Staff is just great. I had to write something else otherwise it would be weird 🤣 But honestly... the building is really great. I really like that. The food was also amazing. I was finally able to eat really good Mexican food again. The bartender can really tell from the cocktails and he's in a good mood too. The staff is generally in a very good mood. The hut was full, people constantly wanted something and so they had to run all the time, but they were still always friendly, courteous and helpful. I'll definitely come back here on my next vacation.

Very tasty food and friendly service! 🌯 Recommended!

I've been here several times and have to say that I was actually quite satisfied until my last visit. Unfortunately, there is currently a decline in the quality of the kitchen. Prices have risen and the quality of the dishes has declined. This was evident in the fact that the meat gave the impression of being of inferior quality; in my burrito the beef was sometimes very full of cartilage and tendons. In addition, the seasoning of the refried beans has completely diminished. This was no longer balanced and spicy, but was simply completely overloaded with cumin and therefore simply tasted musty. My wife also noticed that her fajita now contained significantly more vegetables than meat than in the last few years of our visits. It's a shame that the kitchen has slacked off so much. Because the service and the ambience have always been good. Unfortunately, due to the declining cuisine, we are forced to look for another Mexican restaurant.

Wir waren nicht im Restaurant essen, sondern haben Essen zum Mitnehmen abgeholt. Wir hatten zwei Burger bestellt. Das Hähnchen des einen Burgers war dick wie eine Schuhsohle und so zäh, dass es nicht mit einem Messer zerteilt werden konnte. Es hätte eine Brotmaschine gebraucht. Die Schuhsohle landete im Müll.

Very tasty. We always like to come back.

There is a wide range of food and drinks in a stylish ambience. The prices are very moderate. The service is very friendly and accommodating. The dishes are lovingly prepared and are very tasty. A visit (or several) is worthwhile.

Excellent! 😍 This is our second time here and we will definitely come back. 🤝🏼

The food was delicious, and time was nicely passed there. I can recommend going there once. The Dish was a little expensive for my student budget.

One of the best mexican places in Germany for sure!

Cozy environment and friendly service.

The front, from where you can see the tram, is absolutely not recommended, at first it looked nice,... But when the room filled with guests, we had a headache from the noise, gave up talking and I just wanted to get out of that room, never again! The food was great

The service was very friendly and accommodating, but the food wasn't really good. Tk products and the cocktails were rather so-so..

Nice atmosphere, good Mexican home cooking

Great food, moderate prices. Very friendly staff. You can easily get a table without a reservation. Despite the high volume, the dishes came to the table quickly.

Birthday meeting with colleagues, very tasty, I recommend it.

Si no has pensado nunca comida mexicana puede tener un pase, pero la verdad es que ella mucho que desear y te da la sensación que todos los platos son iguales cambiándoles la presentación y las tortillas. Además mezclan tapas españolas en su carta.

We are satisfied, delicious food, nice service. Simply TOP restaurant. Worth visiting.

A little more expensive, but that's OK. The ambience and food are, as always, top! Service usually also, rare exceptions :) highly recommended for anyone who doesn't know it!!

The place is quite noisy but that's typical of the style. We enjoyed it but as is often the case with Mexican cuisine, digestion is difficult. The menu is very extensive, which suggests frozen or ready-made ingredients. It's not great cuisine.

Five of us ate here as a family. The service is nice and attentive. It was incredibly loud, you could hardly understand the person you were talking to and you almost had to scream, just like the other guests did. The food is good, but far from exceptional. Some ingredients are clearly industrial and not homemade. My son ordered chicken tacos. But it was filled with just onions and peppers, and a few measly pieces of chicken. In one of the two tacos, there was no chicken at all! All plates are well stocked, but without any sophistication. Fast food meal, on a white plate, at restaurant prices... Really nothing special, and not recommended. We won't come back

Abundant meals, wide variety of options including vegetarian options, wide variety of drinks too which looked delicious and were quite big, friendly staff.

Only 5 stars is possible here. The best, really best Mexican in Bremen! Food: the food tastes really good, the nacho plate with cheese and jalapeños gratinated, the burritos or tacos are both great, the Tex Mex meat things are really juicy and well seasoned, the potato wedges are really fried to perfection and the homemade aioli is really great Awesome, the cocktails are also positive! 6/5 Service: the service staff are super friendly, the owner himself often serves, also very friendly. Eating doesn't take too long 15-30 minutes depending on how full it is. 5/5 Ambiance: what can I say, look at the pictures, it looks really great inside, I love it, it's fully furnished with a Mexican touch but it doesn't feel overwhelming, smokers have an area to themselves, it's also nice to sit outside 5/5 I'm really looking forward to the next visits!

Very good restaurant. We'll come back when we're in the area again. Plus point for El Mariachi - our little dog was allowed into the restaurant

Over the last few years it has become steadily more expensive here, but unfortunately at the same time the quality of the food has deteriorated enormously. The dishes cost around €20, even dry chips with three bland sauces cost €9. The meat of the burger is dry, a lot of garlic mayo is used instead of fresh sauces, chili con carne and baked potatoes are tasteless. We used to be here often because of the proximity to where we live, but unfortunately not in the future.

Unfortunately, the price-performance ratio is completely excessive. The food looks and tastes as if a large part of it was made from ready-made products and you simply miss some ingredients completely. In the burrito you will find tons of corn and a tomato sauce, it only uses bean paste and not real beans, you won't find any rice and at the end you have a savory flatbread with cheese gratin. You then pay around €20 for this. Elsewhere in Bremen you can get a huge burrito with good ingredients and a good feeling after eating it for less than half the price. The service is good. We sat outside and had ants on the table and they dismissed them with the statement “yes, unfortunately we can’t get the problem under control :/”. If you swipe the menu across the table, you can also help yourself. Other than that, the service was courteous and quick. The ambience is nice and well decorated.

Food is average, just a bit expensive for the price. Portions are ok. Toilets OK.

Yep. It's getting more and more expensive, but the portions are getting smaller. Cocktails strong as hell... Food comes before the cocktails.

Extremely friendly staff, delicious food and despite the fact that we were sitting close to the street, we were able to chat undisturbed. There is plenty of choice on the menu and there is actually something for everyone. The portions are extremely generous and really tasty!!

What a pleasant gem in Bremen!! Just going through the menu I was already excited just by seeing the amount of flavourful options that I could choose from. When I finally made my decision, it was continued excitement from there on. From the amazing presentation, to the filled serving, right down to the mouthful of juicy spices. To anyone who visits Bremen, your experience will not be a full experience unless you stop by here and enjoy this restaurant. I was very satisfied with the food as well as the friendly staff working there. What’s even more great is having the option to sit inside or outside depending on the weather. Really great ambiance with all the matching decor! Thank you for the lovely experience!

I was at this particular restaurant two days ago, the hat hanging next to the window has cobwebs on it, our table wasn't cleaned well by the previous customer who sat there, the service was like he was bored at work, and as for that The quality of the food is definitely not worth the money

Probably eating frozen goods. Not particularly tasty. But on the table after 10 minutes. Service friendly.

The food is very tasty and well prepared. It tastes good, what more could you want. Although there were quite a few guests there, the service staff were very nice and quick. With the temperatures so high, we sat inside and the ceiling fan made it quite pleasant.

Food super tasty. Service very friendly and attentive. Always my pleasure..:-)) We recommend..

Every time a new service and always super super friendly. The beautiful ambience makes you feel very comfortable and a good mood automatically arises! The cocktails are also highly recommended.

The food is delicious, a place worth visiting to get to know the Mexican atmosphere.

Everything was fine, the burger was good

Quite ok, the waitress seemed very bored. The chips were out of the bag.

Unfortunately, you don't have the allergens under control. According to the menu, the bacon-wrapped dates were supposed to be gluten-free but they were served with bread. And from what it feels like, my wife probably got gluten from her supposedly free dish. Not recommended for celiac disease

I always really like it when we are here. Delicious cocktails and delicious food. Nice waitresses. Can recommend the chicken burger with Camembert and cranberries. Important: You can also order small portions. I rarely manage the normal portions, but I don't think it's a bad idea to take the rest with me for the next day.

El Mariachi Bremen: Delicious food with small weaknesses 4 stars! We spontaneously got a table at El Mariachi Bremen and were served in a friendly manner. The food was tasty and the portions were good. The atmosphere in the restaurant is pleasant and cozy. The only drawback: Unfortunately, the drink we ordered didn't arrive anymore, which was probably simply forgotten. Apart from that, we enjoyed our visit to El Mariachi and would eat there again. Pros: Delicious food Friendly service Pleasant atmosphere Minuses: Long wait for the reordered drink Tip: Reserve a table, especially if you want to come on the weekend. Conclusion: El Mariachi Bremen is a good choice for anyone who wants to enjoy delicious Mexican food in a cozy atmosphere.

A good, long-standing restaurant that has lost none of its quality despite its many years. Only the service sometimes seems a little disorganized, but that is probably due to the high fluctuation of staff. The atmosphere has been rustic and cozy for years. Some people don't like it, that's debatable (; All in all, down to earth Mexican. Not an insider tip but not to be despised either.

This is by far the dirtiest restaurant I have ever seen. The tables were very dirty and hadn't been wiped down for a long time. The floor everywhere was full of leftover food. The sauce bottles were completely crusty. Food wasn't good. Tacos completely soaked in oil. The baked potato was undercooked and therefore not edible. The Mexican pizza was okay.

The food was very tasty and we enjoyed it very much. The staff was friendly and helpful. Come again :-)

Very nice restaurant, great part of town for a digestive walk.

Good food, a really great bar, nice service. I always feel comfortable here. Unfortunately, parking is usually a challenge, but it's totally worth it! - Addition in spring 2024 - Unfortunately, there was a significant increase in prices; I even estimated that it was even closer to 35 percent for dishes and drinks. A price increase had to be logical in the current situation. But such a huge increase has now made us move to a restaurant nearby.

Food was very tasty, service was friendly, drinks (cocktails) were well mixed. The atmosphere is a bit old. Glasses are chipped and shouldn't be sent to the customer anymore, so keep an eye on that next time.

Unfortunately, I have to correct my previous review downwards. I wanted to eat at El Mariachi again after a long time and looked at the menu online at home. My ears were ringing, I tell you! Fajitas for almost 30€!!! Enchiladas for around €20! These are the prices for the normal main courses for ONE person! This can only be a bad joke. This is Mexican cuisine, a traditional home cooking. No upscale chic Micki cuisine. Too bad. In my opinion, Corona and the withdrawn VAT relief were used as a reason to drastically increase prices and because people still go there, they were left so relaxed. I prefer to visit other restaurants nearby (Greek, Spanish, Italian), which have also raised their prices, but to a degree where I don't feel like I've been cheated. Weak number. The main thing is that the cash register rings. 2 stars because the food tastes good.

It is not a Mexican restaurant, the climate is cool, the service was nice, but the food was terrible, the cheese raw, the meat tasteless. No, no no!

It was a quite good experience. The food was great, highly recommended! Very nice atmosphere. The only disadvantage may be the prices, however for the taste and atmosphere, it's worth it :)

Das Essen ist extrem lecker und der Service sehr schnell. Ich wurde kompetent beraten bei der Wahl des Essens und auch bei den Cocktails.

From the outside alone, the location looks simply beautiful. Also well equipped inside. The food was great (we chose the fajitas), the staff was friendly and helpful and always had a funny saying. We felt very comfortable.

The food was very mediocre, no flavor, no spices. The place has a weird smell, should probably air the rooms. The service was polite and helpful but overall I wouldn't recommend.

Really something for fans who like to eat fried food.

The lunch menu is highly recommended. This is also available on Saturday. However, the normal prices are quite high, e.g. Spare ribs for over €20 (I think it was €22.90). However, the food is worth the price as it is very tasty. It was here that I ate delicious croquettes for the first time. The dill sauce for the pike perch was also very tasty. The tiramisu was authentic Italian. Also recommended.

Food and cocktails were great. The service was very friendly.

Delicious food. Friendly service

Nice atmosphere, super friendly service even when the house is full. The selection was sufficient and served quickly. Not spectacular but nice and definitely recommended for a meal.

This place serves good Mexican food and some exotic cocktails but sadly it’s very expensive for the portion size they serve, but the cocktails were worth it even though they were expensive …defined check this place out if budget is not a problem

Cozy atmosphere, delicious food, unobtrusive service, there when you wanted to order something. The pinacolada was a hit! We'll definitely come back.

Had another delicious dinner at El Mariachi. There really is something for everyone on the very extensive menu. Everything is very tasty and freshly prepared. The service is attentive and nice. The restaurant ambience makes a cozy impression. All in all we were very satisfied and will definitely come back.

It's not really Mexican, but Aleles in everything, OK!

It was a very nice visit. It's not cheap but worth the money.

Food was good, only the beef was very tough. As it became more crowded, it was so loud that it was almost impossible to hold a conversation. Pretty high prices. Otherwise everything is good.

Very tasty, a bit loud and crowded.

Exactly the food I expect from a Mexican restaurant. Attentive service. When the restaurant is full, it is very loud.

Very nice and attentive service. But too loud and crowded for me personally.

The food was good BUT the service was sub-par. Dirty cutlery, salt and pepper shakers, and the pepper sauce were dirty from the outside. Dead flies on the windowsill... You don't want to go here.

The food is really recommended. It was delicious and the portions were generous. Service is courteous and nice. I'd love to go there again. Keep it up 😃

The food was not very authentic. Mexican is completely different. The service was quite nice and the ambience is also okay.

When you hear or find this restaurant on Google you think you are right. Since it looks like you're going to have a good dinner/lunch. I have gone twice, to try two different dishes. Too expensive and their preparation leaves much to be desired. The "taco" plates are not real tacos. It is a giant piece of nacho, with huge pieces of meat and a lot of cheese on top. Fatal and a robbery. The place is not pretty at all and everything is old. From the entrance to the tables. If you want to go wrong, go eat Mexican food. You have to go to this site.

Really great restaurant, unfortunately it's a little more expensive but you can thank your friends. But really tasty there and everyone was very nice.

I'm actually so happy with the performance every time. The food is okay, but sometimes a bit bland. My salad was drowned in dressing, my cocktail had a moldy pineapple on the cocktail stick. Now you might think "isolated case", but unfortunately this is the second time in a row that this has happened to us. I definitely avoid this restaurant if I can.

The tables are very cramped, the annex is very loud and you can't hear anyone at all if you're hearing impaired.

Always the best service. And best mexican food in town

Justin is a really nice guy, I'd love to come back.

El Mariachi is one of our favorite restaurants. The food is always delicious and sufficient. There is a wide selection of different Mexican dishes. The diverse cocktails, especially at cocktail hour, round the whole thing off. The service is nice and the atmosphere is cozy. We always like to come over.
