    I really enjoyed it dining experience at Mariella Mexicantina. Sat outside at our table for 4. Service was excellent and friendly. I had heard wait times for food or drinks could be long but despite the restaurant being full and a large group there, everything came out in a good amount of time and the food and drinks were delicious.

    We had a lovely dinner at Mariella! Family of 5, two kids, mum, dad and grandma. Our waiter was lovely, suggesting things and explaining dishes with enthusiasm. Drinks were very efficient and with how busy the kitchen was food was delivered within a good time! The Tuna Ceviche Tostada was the table fave and the cocktail in the big green tiki! Love the decor too. All the bits and bobs were perfect!

    An awesome all-round experience. Visiting Peregian for the week with my 2 Sons 9&12 whom both love Mexican so requested to go on our last night away! Right from the booking online, time, table choices and the initial greeting by Eden all made the evening a great experience! My boys are adamant we are to come back lol.. 🙏

    While we always enjoyed the experience and food at Mariella, the last visit with being rushed out while food was still in front of us was very disappointing.

    Such a great local spot. The food is always so fresh, full of flavour and beautifully done, with genuinely warm and attentive service. Margaritas exceptional You can really feel the care that goes into this place. A fantastic addition to the local dining scene and absolutely worth supporting.We continue to return ✨
