Mariachi Loco

The best around try the #37 it is amazing! Staff is always good :)

First time visit, arrived before 6pm on a Friday nite and didn’t have a problem getting a table. The salsa that came with the free chips was too mild for my liking. Would be nice to have a hotter version too. This is a first Mexican restaurant I’ve been to that doesn’t have a variety of hot sauces on the table to use, so that was disappointing. Even Taco Johns provides hot sauce!
I ordered the chile verde, which was good. My husband had a shrimp chimichanga and he seemed to enjoy it even though the shrimp inside were tiny. Our experience was average-​not great but not terrible. I might try it again and try something else on the menu.

The worst!!! There is no one thing they did right! Nothing is particularly bad but nothing is good!

Would give the rating a zero if I could. Worst «Mexican» food I’ve ever had. Super oily and the food has no taste to it. The service was good, but really disappointed in these Unilocal reviews — very misleading.
Would rather eat at taco bell.

Solid food with very reasonable prices. The staff is outstanding and they make yummy margaritas. A regular spot for the family.

Got some good advice from a friend who said we should stop here when we visit friends at college. We enjoyed a couple of well priced, well made margaritas.
We then had the steak and the chicken fajitas, very tasty! My pet peeve is an unclean restroom, so I was very happy to report to my friend that he didn’t let me down. A spotless experience, including a never ending smile from our waitress. Seemed like she enjoys her job!

First time here and it’s like I’m eating food in Baja. Fresh salsa was perfect and packs a punch with the heat. Get a Tamarindo soda to cool your mouth. The chicken floutas were amazing. The rice and beans that came with the plate were amazing. Also the cheese dip was so good we were scraping the bowl to find more. Finish the meal with fried ice cream. The BEST Mexican food I have ever had in Wisconsin! !

My family and I love this place.
Great food and great prices. They also don’t skimp on the servings.
We wish River Falls had more quality restaurants like this!

Holy mole! The chicken mole is awesome. We used to always get the awesome fajitas, and then one day, I ordered the chicken in a mole sauce and can’t go back. It’s so damn good!

This place is the best place to eat at in River Falls. Being a college student at the River Falls University, I have many opportunities to dine in town. I have been to a lot of places, but Mariachi Loco is my favorite place to eat in town. The service is friendly and very fast! You usually receive your food within 5 – 10 minutes of ordering. There is not a thing on the large menu that is not good. The portions are large and typically cost between $ 6-​$ 10, which is nothing for such good Mexican food. I highly recommend eating here. The only negative thing I can think of is the hot sauce is too mild.

absolutely wonderful! I’ve had most the menu and you can’t go wrong. Best mole sauce you can find — no canned sauce here. Polo Cremoso is my favorite. Super quick, cheap, and filling lunch specials like the burrito loco. margaritas and homemade salsa are excellent. Staff extraordinary. I like pizza and burgers too but life has been some much better since this place opened in River Falls.

Best local restaurant in River Falls. For couples, getting together with friends or families. Always leave stuffed and the service is always perfect. Regular there at least once a week!

If he food was a bit more exciting, I would give it a 5, as the service and friendliness here is tough to top, they are just very nice people that you want to see do well. Prices are great, and the food is plenty good. Worth a shot for sure

Good quality, and tasty. Fast service and cordial. Not a lot of bells and whistles but it is clean and quaint. I would definitely eat there again!

A very good experience for the most part. Fast, attentive service, chips & salsa were marginal, a minor mistake on our drink order that was really no big deal. Food was very good, and they put together a nice little birthday wish to my Dad that wasn’t ridiculous or over the top (he was shocked that his birthday shot was Cuervo and not some fruity girly shot– which was kind of funny itself). We had a big group and they took care of us very nicely without reservations. Did a great job with the kids and the adults in our group– I’d recommend this place, it’s better than my normal lowbrow hangouts.

This place was pretty decent, the food was good, but kind of a college town dive, where the owner is so used to not caring because the patrons are mostly here for their liquid dinner. The margaritas were like any other, mixed in the Icee machine with too little booze and too much fruit flavor. The waitstaff was probably the best thing about this place. The servers actually cared about you.

This is my favorite Mexican restaurant in the county. Great service and extremely tasty food. Love the atmosphere. Best surprise: their tasty take on chicken soup (with avocado!). I crave it on cold, wet days. I’ve never had a bad experience here.

My favorite restaurant in River Falls.
The food is cheap, and delicious. I’ve had at least half the menu, and still have not encountered a bad dish.
The restaurant is small, so there is a wait sometimes, usually no more than ten minutes.
The service is exceptional. Fast, friendly, and always prompt.
Great restaurant, and great people too!

This is by far my favorite place to eat lunch in River Falls. They have blazing fast service, and very good Mexican food. They are so fast sometimes we have told them to give us some time to work on the chips and salsa. I personally think this is a good thing. I get very upset at places that try to draw out your meal and make things take forever!
Mariachi Loco is not fancy so don’t expect too much. The décor is very basic, but the food, service and reasonable prices more then make up for it.
Favorite things to order:
Beef Chimichanga
Chicken Fajita
Beef Flautas
Any Queso Dip

OOOH Mariachi Loco how i love thee!
If you have been studying your butt of in the chalmer library and decide your brain needs a break or its going to give you a stroke… or if you just want an excuse not to study… the best thing to do is grab a couple friends and head across the street to Mariachi!
Nothing is better than being a broke college kid and being able to afford to go out to eat! Thats the beauty of Mariachi. You get huge good tasting servings for cheap (and when I say cheap I mean you can barely afford conditioner and toothpaste but you don’t want ramon so you decide to spend that money on food) Personally I enjoy the stuffed chicken burrito with rice… mmmm delicious! its like 6 – 7 bucks and easily feeds me for two meals.
The service is wonderful… both the servers and owner are very attentive. You feel like a valued customer every time you go in. Although it is smaller on the inside it gives it a nice cozy feel.
Now on to the most important part of mariachi… the reason it has stolen my heart… the margaritas!!! seriously the best! I have no hesitation when saying that I am a margarita connesiour. Jose cuervo IS a friend of mine… and when he is mixed in with mariachi’s delicious mix … there is no way he can do you wrong. Unless of course you have a class within the next hour cuz those margaritas are strong… and are gonna knock you on your butt! but thats why they are delicious. Only about 4.50 for a nice sized strong delicious margarita… you definitely cant complain!
So if you are looking for a distraction from studies, a good place to hang out enjoy friends, food and drinks… make mariachi your next stop when you are in River. TRUST ME YOU WILL LOVE IT!
