Visit Kauai: Mariachi's Mexican Cuisine

While on Kauai, Chef Mark Oyama recommended we visit Mariachi's Mexican Cuisine.  The restaurant is situated in a very touristy area (Lihue, another location is in Kapa`a), and normally I would avoid such places, but I trusted Chef Mark's recommendation.

Turns out, the food was great!  The staff have roots in Mexico, so the food is as authentic as it can get on Kauai.  

Chips & Salsa

Chips & Salsa are complimentary for the first serving only.  Thereafter it's $6 per serving.

5 Street Tacos

The 5 Street Tacos consist of your choice of carne asada, carnitas, al pastor, or chicken (mix and match to your preference). My friend liked the carnitas the best. 

Carne Asada Fries

The Carne Asada Fries were addicting.  Thick fries topped with steak, cheese, guacamole, and sour cream.   - so delish!

Chile Relleno and Burrito

The staff made some great recommendations and were all so friendly!  We had such a fun time at Mariachi's - great food and drink, and really good service.

Don't let the touristy area deter you from dining at Mariachi's.  We were the only locals while we were dining, but I would definitely return!
