The place was amazing especially for a restaurant that is in a small town. The place is pretty clean and it has a very comfy and almost homey atmosphere while still feeling like the type of place you would take a date to. The prices for everything was in a good range and nothing felt overpriced. The staff were all friendly and nothing but polite and the food was immaculate. The wait for the food was a little long mostly due to it being busy and not a lot of workers but the food was well worth the wait. It is the perfect place to just hang out and talk with friends and family as well as the perfect place to take a date and just sit down and talk with people. At the front of the restaurant there also is boxes of 50 to 25 cent Mexican candy which is really cool and really fun as well since the candy is cheap and isn’t really something you come across a lot in South Dakota. The food and decorations are also very authentic and pretty Mexican.

Our meal was excellent with very friendly service from each of the employees. This was the first visit, but certainly not the last. Keep up the good work!

We both chose the chori polo! It was delicious and they add a few strips of perfectly cooked bacon! Now who understands that you just cannot go wrong when you put chorizo and bacon together and smother that on some perfectly cooked chicken!! Comon somebody Yano what I am talkin bout right here!! We also had a nice order of the guacamole and it was made perfect with larger chunks of avacado red onion and tomatoes delicious!

Price is beyond point if you are coming for taste first and then value, your expectations will be exceeded. And yet they are cheaper than anything 10 mi north by 20%. Family environment, and very nice but also knowledgeable staff. If you want to get out of town and yet feel like you are on a date night or foodie adventure, get here. Seasoned, experienced and the most humble staff you will meet. Skip your vacation and come here instead for an hour and believe life lives where you decide.

Met some friends for my 40th birthday and El Mariachi did not disappoint. The food was fabulous, the service was more than on top of it, and the birthday surprise was the best! Thank you El Mariachi! We will be back.

We love this place! We've visited a few times and their service and food are always top notch. Tons of food - high quality - and I appreciate that we save a little from going to the Sioux Falls restaurants. These guys have it down well!! And their margaritas are amazing

A hidden gem in a small town. Margarita was excellent, and the chimichanga was top notch. The staff was super friendly, and the atmosphere is delightful. Can't recommend this place enough. If you want good Mexican food, I recommend El Mariachi.
