Edward is a small-town dreamer who planned to run away after finishing high school to pursue a career in music but somehow never got the ambition to leave. In Mariachi Gringo, that all changes after he meets Alberto, a former mariachi player, who convinces Edward that the time to follow his dreams is now or never. It’s not long before Edward finds himself in Guadalajara, Mexico looking for a mariachi band to join when he meets Lilia, who becomes romantically involved with Edward and helps him find a band. Ironically, Lilia dreams of leaving Guadalajara to study oceanography but is committed to staying in town to help her mother run a small restaurant.
Edward thinks he’s gotten his big break when he is invited to suit up with a big-name mariachi band but winds up quitting and returning home after he discovers he was only hired by the band as a gimmick. Once home, he finds out that he doesn’t fit in anymore and heads back to Guadalajara where he finds a small-town mariachi band to join and eventually happiness even though he finds out Lilia left town.
