Los Mariachis

We were traveling and picked this over the chain options based on its Unilocal rating. Basically, it was okay. The food was edible, but we won’t remember this for future trips. The food lacked seasoning. Even the salsa lacked flavor. The chips were oily and under seasoned.

Not too bad, standard Mexican fare for Ohio. Good service, clean facilities, I’d definitely come back. However I do echo the sentiments about the margaritas not being very good.

Not sure why people gave this 5 stars. I tried the carnitas and they were 40% fat and lacked flavor They piled on the cilantro and jalapeño like it was lettuce. The margarita was OK as we’re the tortillas but the salsa was bland. I’m willing to try it again and have a different menu item but can’t wait to get back out West for real Mexican.

I’m from LA, so I have a lot of awesome Mexican restaurants available anywhere! When I came to Chillicothe, I didn’t realize how hard it would be to find a decent Mexican restaurant. My husband and I tried Los Mariachis for the first time last summer, and loved it! Everything is very authentic and delicious. I would’ve given it 5 stars, but didn’t, because the service can improve a little. Some days they are slow, and others they are fast, so there is no consistency with that. Other than that though great place!

My mother and I go here a lot when I visit on weekends. My mom and her sister eat here so much they’ve jokingly started referring to the staff as their boyfriends.
I’ll be the first to say I’m a bonafide Mexican food snob. The food here is okay. Not great. But a few menu items are worth trying. The shrimp quesadilla is surprisingly good and their fajitas are tasty.
The salsa is very mild but adding the habanero sauce at the table does the trick in spicing it up. Their margaritas are so-​so and they have good daily deals and happy hours.
For a small town Mexican place, it gets the job done.

My wife and I enjoy eating here immensely. It’s one of the best restaurants in town. Out of all the restaurants we’ve experienced in Chillicothe they serve the best Margaritas. The place is clean and the service friendly and prompt. I don’t know about authentic, I’m sure it’s not completely true to it’s roots but you know you’re eating food that is close enough to it.

Seems like there is one of these Mexican restaurants in every small town here in Ohio. We often joke that they must hand you a «mexican restaurant kit» when you cross the border… they all have the same items (even though the preparation may vary from restaurant to restaurant) and even the same numbering on the menu. Sometimes you may have trouble customizing orders due to the language barrier, but the staff at Los Mariachi’s is pretty good at getting most of our orders correct.
Los Mariachis is a favorite here among the locals and group of my friends gather there for lunch every Thursday. There are daily lunch specials and everyone has their favorites… Taco Salad Fajita, Fajitas, Taco Salad, Chimichanga, Vegetarian #C, etc. Portions are substantial and the price is reasonable.

Great Mexican restaurant in semi-​rural Ohio. The salsa served with chips is extremely mild, but they have Yucatan red and green on the table to spice it up. The menu is wide and varied and has lots of options above and beyond the typical Mexican restaurant, like chilaquiles and and the house special, carne guisada. I got the Camarones a la Diabla, grilled shrimp in a ranchero sauce with pico and rice. Portions are big, shrimp, sauce and pico were excellent and not nearly as bland as the chip salsa.
House maragaritas are poor, a generic mix, and overpriced, at $ 5. The tequila margaritas are quite good and almost the same price. Food is not cheap but not too expensive, dinner runs around $ 8 – 10 for an entrée.
All in all Los Mariachis is a pleasant surprise, great authentic Mexican in Southern Ohio.
