The average cost to hire a Mariachi Band in Dallas, TX is $400.

Established and highly regarded mariachi bands may charge higher fees due to their reputation and experience. Some bands may also offer additional services such as MCing or providing sound equipment, which can impact the overall cost.

So how much should you tip if you choose to? Both men threw out $20 per song as a standard figure. "That may seem high, but think about how much each member is getting paid if $20 is being divided up by 10 musicians," says Miguel. For his part, Raul recommends waiting until after the song before tipping.

Mariachi is a traditional Mexican music and a fundamental element of Mexican culture. Traditional Mariachi groups, made up of two or more members, wear regional costumes adapted from the charro costume and interpret a broad repertoire of songs on stringed instruments.
