Hello matydavid-ga,

I located a online Mariachi search website for the United States,
Mexico  and other countries.

For Mexico you may search by State or City.

I didn’t get any results for Puebla but I received 11 hits when I
entered Mexico. You get a short description, phone number and email
address for each Mariachi group. This part of the website is in
Spanish. Would you be interested in this information?

Thanks

Matydavid,

At the same website there is also a mariachi message center where you
may enter a message requesting mariachis. This is in English.

"If you have an upcoming event and need a mariachi group to play at
your celebration" this is the place to place your comment.

Thanks

I believe that this is a good website in order to locate a Mariachi
group to play a serenade for your girlfriend. I would recommend
contacting all the groups and asking. If they can’t go to Puebla, I’m
sure that they may be able to recommend another group. If you post a

a very good chance of finding a group.

Matydavid,

I found another good website where there is a price list as well.
Just fill out the form with your information.
http://www.mariachis.com.mx/forma.htm
 
"Para contratar en provincia por favor de pedir presupuesto." 
Teléfonos: 01 (55) 50332881

Here is the contact information for El Callejón de los Sapos - Puebla
Dirección: 6 Sur, entre 5 y 7 Oriente
Más Información: SECTUR 246 2044
They may have information on Mariachi groups.
http://www.puebla.gob.mx/cultura/edificios/los_sapos.html

I can't help you directly but this might set you on the right path:

"Usually on Thursday through Sunday nights there are various mariachi
bands hanging out at the sapos (The Callejón de los Sapos - a downtown
tourist market area). Mariachis wait to be hired by a lovesick man who
wants to serenade his woman as a grand display of his affection. In
Mexico it is every girl’s dream to be serenaded –  they see it as the
most romantic expression of love. "
