About El Mariachi
El Mariachi is a family-owned establishment with a rich history of serving delicious food to families like yours. It all started in 1997, when the Rizo family opened their first El Mariachi in Princeton, WV. Since, we have expanded through our commitment to excellent customer service and mixing the best ingredients.
A Tradition of Flavor, Family, and Community
El Mariachi Mexican Restaurant and Cantina was founded with a simple mission: to serve our family recipes to Southern WV in a warm, welcoming space where friends and families can gather.
From sizzling fajitas and house-made dips to handcrafted margaritas, every dish is prepared with care and bold flavor. Our team is proud to bring a vibrant dining experience to both Beaver, West Virginia, and Tazewell, Virginia.
Where It All Began
El Mariachi Mexican Restaurant and Cantina is a family-owned establishment that has served many meals to our loyal customers. Since 1997, the Rizo family has expanded restaurants to multiple locations across the two Virginias and looks forward to opening more locations in the future. Be sure to visit us at our current locations in Beaver, WV, and Tazewell, VA.
