Since 1983, Alvaro Paulino's Mariachi Tapatio has been proud to be "The Best Mariachi in the Northeast" from New York City. Mariachi Tapatio has set the standard for New York City and the rest of the Tri-State area. Aside from setting the standard, it also serves as a model and platform for future generations of mariachi musicians (male and female) in New York City and the Northeast area. “Our vision is that the public, apprentices and professional musicians can further develop, promote and preserve this valuable musical tradition, the Mariachi!" - The New York City Mariachi Inc.®
