I like it, yet it's very overrated
Well let me start by saying that I liked El Mariachi, It had a good likeable cast (Carlos Gallardo was good as El Mariachi), good script, and it knows how to keep the viewer interested. Like Roger Ebert once said, "A good movie doesn't rely on how much money is spent on it" and I totally agree with that. So many would say that El Mariachi is the total package right? Wrong! As a John Woo and Quentin Tarantino lover I expected this to be somewhat more action packed and was left somewhat empty handed. It suprised me how so many people said the action was beautifully done, and I thought I was going to agree with them since I saw Desperado before this. Yet the action is a let down, heck the budget was so low in this movie we don't even see any type of bullets flying or even explosives going off in the actors chests. For the man who has been called the Hispanic John Woo I would think that his action sequences would be more stylized (I have seen really cheesy Mexican shoot-out movies that had an even lower budget yet managed to show better action sequences than this.) But I guess I realize that Robert Rodriguez intention wasn't to make a great action film rather to make a good movie. And a good movie it's. If you are an action fan that can accept this drawback, then go for it.

Great Action Movie!
Even though this movie was made on 7,000 it is just as entertaining as these million dollar movies out there! This movie to me was more entertaining than Titanic ever could be! And the action sequences a great! Anyway if you are looking for a good action movie this is your movie!!

Crazy Action
The first film by Robert Rodríguez, who went on to do Desperado and From Dusk Till Dawn, among other, if you can get past de spanish languaje it is still a great low budget action film, even comparable with some big time movies, the action scenes are some of the best, specialy because of budget contraints. A very original and funny movie.

Fantastic
If it weren't for the Spanish language and subtitles in this movie, it could have easily been mistaken for a John Woo movie, the Hong Kong director who was one of Rodriguez's inspirations to create El Mariachi. Make no mistake. Only one other director in the entire world makes such use of incredibly slick, stylish, unique camerawork in an action movie and that man is John Woo, who practically invented the style. Unmistakeably John Woo-ish camera technigue.But if you love good action movies and especially if you love high-octane John Woo movies then you will not be disappointed in the least bit!

rare
Never before have i seen a movie that grabbed me the way this one did. Shot on 16mm film and $7,000 he made by selling his body to science, Robert Rodriguez was a one man crew in his cinematic debut. The actions scenes are so intense, so fast, and so well thought out. If you haven't read "Rebel Without A Crew" you should, for Rodriguez explains the entire process of making "El Mariachi."
