It’s no secret that the alpha Mexican/Salvadorean spot in downtown Rehoboth is certainly Mariachi restaurant on Wilmington Avenue. Boss and founder Yolanda Pineda is no stranger to her native food, and though every dish is prepared under her watchful eye, I believe the key to Mariachi’s longevity is her day-to-day involvement in the operation. She glides from the kitchen to the dining rooms adjusting food on servers’ trays, stopping by to say hello to regulars, or darting behind the bar to whip up a tray of colorful frozen margaritas. Her constant presence is a value added at this two-level facility with an ocean view from the upstairs porch.
