We’ve been going to Marios about 4 years and have always be treated like we were in Mom’s kitchen. I asked for my favorite carnitas taco on the side with my order. The waitress came back and told me the cooks said they couldn’t do it because it wasn’t on the menu. My wife order traditional carnitas and that made me happy I was refused a carnitas taco because they were so dry she didn’t eat them. And by the way I am Mexican and have never been refused a carnitas taco on the side. What happened to you Mario’s ?
Good chips and salsa.Cute building.Great corner of La Mesa.
Great food, friendly service and atmosphere, prices are great as well, nice portions.
This place is amazing. Food is fresh, not overly salty and delicious. Friendly service, fair prices and a great location. Will be back soon
the food and service is always great!love coming for the micheladas!
Always good but I ordered rolled Tacos the other day before grabbing my daughter from school.. my rolled Tacos were poorly made with very minimal fixings unfortunately & my last bite had a hair.
Early Friday dinner. What we liked: 1. Juan, our server, delivered exceptional, friendly service. 2. The food. Positively some of the best, most authentic, freshest Mexican food we've had in years. 3. Free parking. 4. Reasonable prices. 5. Music not too loud. 6. Clean and charming dining room. 7. Hubby says to tell you that the shrimp enchiladas are generously stuffed with shrimp and so delicious. 8. Lovely presentation of all dishes. 9. Perfectly blended margarita. 10. Fried ice cream is truly fried just before being brought to the table, not just pulled days old from the freezer. What we didn't like: Nothing. Would we return? Yes, and soon.
The REAL Mario's is gone. New owners kept the name but it should be named Fred's. A middle-aged divorced white guy from Barstow named Fred that can't cook decided to buy Mario's after hitting a big scratch ticket... THAT'S what it feels like now. So needless to say MARIO'S SUCKS! Our family has going there since I was little... but never again.
I've been going to this location for nearly 15 years and I have never been disappointed. The Chicken Enchiladas Mole are killer! Just the absolute perfect mix of flavors. All their chipotle dishes are amazing and the fish tacos are an absolute treat. Lovely food and excellent service. I hope to be going here for many years to come.
It was good but I had no idea what I ordered, The Omelette(I think it was an omelette) was AMAZING, Get it WITH onion/ best onion's I've ever had.
