About this spot
El Mariachi brings authentic Mexican heat to Sea Point with smoky carnitas and zesty guacamole that stand out against the ocean breeze. The staff are used to English requests, so don't hesitate to ask for extra salsa on the side or a beer flight to pair with your tacos.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order the carnitas al pastor if you want a smoky pork option rather than standard chicken.
- Ask for a glass of Mexican lager or a Corona to cut through the rich flavors of the mole.
- Save room for churros dipped in chocolate, which are often fresher when ordered last.
