I don't like your crappy singing or shitty sounding instruments.
I go there to eat food, not have you give me the grumpy cat look and beg for money. |

I once ate in a bar/restaurant in Nogales Mexico that had a blind Keyboard player that played nothing but hey jude over and over again for more than an hour straight until we left. Truth.

OP, stfu or find another place to eat.
funny LB story. I took GF to a place with Mariachis one time. They came by the table and started playing. four or five songs. Then I found out they wanted 12 bucks/song. oh. Oh! That was one expensitive Mexican dinner... yes, I paid. |

There's a wonderful Italian restaraunt here, Carmelo's.
Great place to take a date. Usually there's a chick playing gigantic harp. It's actually very nice. But sometimes there's a butthole strolling around with a violin. And it takes $10 to make him go away. Fuck that. Don't walk up on us when we're trying to have a conversation and enjoy the food. Get all in our faces with your shitty playing. But I don't mind mariachis playing in a Mexican joint. They tend to stay put and I'll put a few bucks in the jar when we're leaving. |

Dude...I once saw this mariachi pull a whole shitload of guns out of his guitar case, and single handedly kill about 50 armed thugs in this little dive bar in Mexico.
DON'T piss those guys off!! |

I guess the music is tolerable to a point if done well but damn near unbearable when done 1 foot from your table, |

In Mexico, it's not just confined to restaurants.
Some beggers make their money by getting on Mexican buses and singing badly until the other bus riders take up a collection to shut them up. |
|
I actually like them. Not a lot of places here have that so it is unusual enough that it is cool to see. Best Mariachi's I have seen were in Mexico and Costa Rica.
|
|
Mariachi at a Mexican place, no problem.
Mariachi on the train going home, problem. |
|
I don't know, but if one more of those fuckers blows that trumpet in my ear just as I'm about to take a bite of food.. I'm gonna hit him over the head with my molcajete.

Because a Polka band in a Mexican restaurant would just be wrong?

Eat, listen and enjoy...or don't patronize the place. How hard is that? ![]() |

Mariachi music has its place. I'd have killed to see Linda Ronstadt sing "La Charreada" with her band live. Awesome show.

Stay home and order a pizza, culture has no interest in you. My mom won't let me have anything delivered to the basement. |

I normally pay them to go play Freebird or Stairway to Heaven at someone else's table.

I don't care for the way they stare at my wife's ass. I may have to resort to OC.
