Default El Mariachi

Is El Mariachi still closed for the winter and, if so, does anyone know when it will open this year?

Have you tried El Centenario in Wolfeboro? I believe they are the same owners.

They are the same owners. El Centenario is great. It's a small place and the service is really slow, but the people who work there are really nice and the food is surprisingly good for the location.

If you have not already done so, I would like to suggest that you try El Jimador in Belmont. My wife and I love it there.

La Corona in Rochester is fantastic and well worth the drive.
Table side guacamole and fajitas are incredible.

Open, but it's painted **yellow** now. Ugh. I get that a log cabin doesn't scream 'get authentic Mexican food here', and it did need painting, but...a yellow log cabin is just wrong on so many other levels. Could have been worse I suppose, they could have painted the logs in a red/white/green sequence.

Taco Bell in Laconia is always a less expensive option.

Really?? You are obviously upset that you missed your stand up career opportunity at the local chinese restaurant huh Seaplane? Anyways, El Jimador has much better food and for HALF the money. But hey I get it! You can land your Seaplane on Berry Pond and pick up your overpriced Mexican meal.

Actually, I was serious. But regardless, I'm glad that I amuse you.

I've not eaten at El Mariachi; yes, their prices are a few bucks higher than El Jimador (I've eaten there), but it could be worth it.

It seems to get good reviews in social media.
