Slap-bang in the heart of the Old Town, Mariachi has been a firm favourite on the capital’s Mexican scene for over a decade. Serving up standard Mexican dishes alongside Tex-Mex tinged burgers and steaks, a meal here will definitely set you up for a night sampling the wares of the many nearby bars. A starter of camarones features juicy king prawns with punchy flavours of garlic and lime, while stuffed jalapeños have a spicy kick, deliciously offset by their cream cheese filling. Steak, chicken, chorizo, king prawn and mixed veg are available in multiple combinations as fajita fillings and arrive on a sizzling platter with tortillas, cheese, sour cream and guacamole. Not for the faint-hearted, hefty burritos come packed with fillings and topped with spicy homemade salsa. A massive selection of tequilas and mezcals can either be ordered straight up or in one of their many Margherita combos. Alternatively, there’s a good selection of lesser-known Mexican beers if you prefer something less potent to wash down your meal.
