Variety
Spanish lingo crime meller has a verve and cheekiness that's partly a smart wedding of such influences as Sergio Leone, George Miller and south-of-the-border noir. Full Review
Elvis Mitchell
The New York Times
Mythic pulp has its allure, and it also has its limitations. El Mariachi displays no real emotion except a profound appreciation for the genre film making that has inspired it, and a delight in manipulating the elements of such stories. Full Review
Hal Hinson
Washington Post
This brilliantly naive, low-budget shoot-'em-up presents every action as if it were brand spanking new. Full Review
James Berardinelli
ReelViews
A gripping, tautly-paced action flick that outdoes most of Hollywood's similar output. This is clear evidence that film quality often has little to do with a production's budget. Full Review
Jonathan Rosenbaum

Juicy, adroit, and likable. Full Review
