About Us

Our Story

The story of El Mariachi Edmonton begins not just with food, but with family, music, and a deep love for Mexican culture. Born from generations of cherished recipes and a desire to bring the soul of Mexico to the heart of Edmonton, our restaurant is a tribute to the streets, kitchens, and spirit of the place we call home.

It all started with a simple dream — to create a space where people could gather, celebrate, and connect over food that tells a story. Inspired by the vibrant energy of mariachi music and the rich diversity of regional Mexican cuisine, we opened our doors to share more than just meals; we wanted to share an experience.
