Founded in 1978, Mariachi Real De San Diego has established itself as a leader in its genre under the direction of its founder and leader, Pedro Gonzalez. Professionalism, dedication, and loyalty to the century old traditions of the music and culture of Mexico continue to drive this group to new heights. This Mariachi group has appeared in various movies including "Top Dog", starring Chuck Norris, "Deadly Desire" starring Jack Scalia, the TV mini series "Space" with James Garner, as well as tv commercials for the Del Mar Racing Season. Mariachi Real has also performed for the Republican National Convention, two Super Bowls, the World Series, the All-Star Game and countless festivals and special events for international corporations and dignitaries.

Magnificent Mariachi!

Local legends. I had listened to albums by El Mariachi Real de San Diego even before we were planning our wedding. I was excited to book them, and when it came time for them to play our wedding…oh buddy did they deliver! For those who aren’t familiar with this group, they have been active over 20 years and are as polished, perfected, authentic, and professional as they come. If your goal is to have a random “Mariachi” and you are not discerning about the quality, there are cheaper options for you. However, if you demand the best for your event...look no further than El Mariachi Real de San Diego! Our guests (who were half US and Mexico residents) gave us endless compliments on how amazing this group performed. Even the restaurant staff at the resort where our wedding was held asked me about the Mariachi during breakfast the following day. This was absolutely a highlight of our big day! Thank you Pedro and Evelia

Mariachi Real were outstanding! They followed our instructions perfectly. They "surprised" our guests by playing the recessional for the ceremony and later led our guests though the hotel to the reception. Everyone was enchanted by them, everyone raved about them! Pam S.

Mariachi Real de San Diego played at our wedding recently and they were absolutely FANTASTIC!! All I ever wanted at my wedding was a Mariachi group and not only did I get that I got an extremely talented and fun one! Pedro was quick to respond to any questions I had before the wedding, and they were flexible to our needs. We had some requests on the outfit the wear and when to start playing during the ceremony, and they were more than willing to work with us. Our guests loved them and kept telling us how much fun they made the cocktail hour! Thank you Pedro and Mariachi Real!
