Mariachi El Bronx

Mariachi El Bronx plays Come and Take It Live on Sunday, October 11, 2026. It's a single-bill night with the band as the only act on the program, so the whole evening is built around their set.

If you're not already familiar, the name tells you exactly what you're getting: a mariachi ensemble. That means the full traditional setup—trumpets, violins, and the guitarrón providing the low end—playing the kind of music that's a staple of Mexican culture. It's a sound that works just as well for a slow, singing ballad as it does for something fast enough to dance to, and a full ensemble like this can swing between those moods in a single set.

Having a full mariachi group on a Sunday night in Austin is a nice fit for the city. It's the kind of music that feels right at home here, and seeing it live is a different thing than hearing it on a record—the brass has a physical presence in the room that you can't get from a speaker. With them as the sole feature of the night, the set will be the only thing on the bill, so you'll get a full run of their material without an opening act to work through first.

The show starts at 7 PM at Come and Take It Live, so it's an early enough start that you'll still have your whole Sunday evening ahead of you. If you've been looking for a night of mariachi in the city, this is the one.
