El Mariachi Tapas - Albany

The food was decent. The drinks were just okay. I had the Paella and it's far from the authentic Spain Paella but it was edible. I also had margarita for a beverage it wasn't freshly made it used a lot of the margarita mix. Not a fan of the Resturant Weekmenu maybe their own menu is much better.

The tapas selection is diverse and appealing, and the margaritas were fantastic. I ordered the Paella, the Stuffed Pimientos Reyenos De Queso Cabra, Pulpo a la Gallega, and another dish. The paella was tasty, but lacked the traditional crispy crust. The stuffed peppers had wonderful flavor, but were initially served without cheese (had to return them for the correct preparation). The octopus was well presented but slightly overcooked. I had recently tried a grilled octopus dish in NYC that was better. It was busy on a Friday night, but the owner was very accommodating. I plan on giving this place another chance as the menu shows promise.

The restaurant offers delicious tapas and entrees made with fresh ingredients and great spices. The waitstaff is attentive and thoughtful. It's a fun spot for family outings or a night out with friends or your significant other.

The customer service at this restaurant is excellent. All of the food was delicious, especially the tequila queso fundido and the octopus. The tapas style of dining was a favorite, as it allowed us to sample a variety of dishes.

My wife and I went to this restaurant on the weekend and had an incredible lunch. The enchiladas with Mole sauce were phenomenal. We will definitely be returning!
