When I'm in the mood for cheesy, good Mexican food, Mario's is where I go. Love this spot. It's super cute inside and they offer patio seating. The service is always friendly and you can tell they take pride in their work. Their portions are pretty big. They start off with chips and salsa, which is always fresh. Their menu is expansive and has all the favorites. They serve breakfast, have a wide variety of soups, and desserts. I really enjoy the chile relleno. It's a good size, never any seeds, and the sauce is good. You really can't go wrong with anything you order. Parking is ok. They have a small lot behind the restaurant and few street spots. It's just at the end of the village, so it's a little bit easier to find a spot. Try them out!

Just around the corner from the main strip in La Mesa is a hidden gem. This authentically feeling restaurant is ready to serve you all of the flavors and textures: spicy, crunchy, juicy, cheesy, fresh, aromatic,... ove delicious!Read the specials board on your way in because they have LOTS of options here and everything that came out of the kitchen looked incredible. I will almost always get an enchilada plate when I go to a Mexican restaurant, there's something about the cheese, sauce, and bean/rice that are so comforting. they served some great food - so much so that I couldn't finish and was stoked to have leftovers. My friend got the carnitas plate and it was a HUGE portion of meat that was tender and carefully prepared.The staff were great and made sure we had everything we needed, they were present and available, but not overbearing.We got there for a very early dinner, around 4 and there were only a clfew other people inside. We walked down the block afterwards to help digest this amazing meal and when we came back around 530, we saw that it had filled up, which is great to see - I love when good businesses are doing well!

We sat outside because I brought my dog, that's why it's a little dark. But the place is super cute and family friendly. The customer service is pretty friendly. The food is amazing!!! The salsa is pretty good and a little spicy. The enchilada is soooo good!! Perfect amount of meat and cheese! It's so delicious!! I ordered horchata also, and it tastes so fresh with the perfectly sweeten. My daughter got the hot chocolate, and she says it's the best hot chocolate. She ordered the enchiladas plate and loves it!! For dessert, we got the tres leches cake, and that's the best tres leches cake!! It's so fresh and delicious!! We will definitely be back to try more because it's so good!! #supportsmallbusiness

Ugh, I love this place too much. I've been here a dozen or so times, and get the same exact thing every time: the carne asada burrito. Mario's just does it right. Juicy steak but not greasy. Seasoned just right. I prefer to eat inside since the wait staff is always so friendly and accommodating to my kids.

Love this place. If you want to eat healthy, low fat Mexican food, Mario's makes it easy! I always order the single shredded chicken taco on lettuce instead of a tortilla, no sour cream, and avocado instead of guacamole. Then I add a side of their amazing pico de gallo- best anywhere! Juan the owner who often takes care of us is so sweet and never bats an eye at my crazy annoying order! They have plenty of indoor and outdoor seating so we can bring our corgi with us!

Large portions, delicious Mexican food and friendly and fun service!We came to Mario's for a work event and got to enjoy the entire outside patio area. I'm not sure why I don't come to La Mesa more often. They've got a surprising number of great spots. While this one fairs more casual, the food doesn't disappoint. I enjoyed the salad which was on a crispy fried tortilla and loaded with pollo asado. I also got a side of a mole enchilada. The mole was delicious! Everything tasted home cooked and comforting! Top it off with a beer on a sunny day and you're golden. Can't speak highly enough about the friendly service. Our waiter was a hoot and so nice!

Cute little spot in La Mesa with an outdoor patio! The food and service were great. Can't wait to come again and try their breakfast.

Absolutely awful. I ordered the shrimp fajita plate on DoorDash and it didn't come with tortillas...?! Or mushrooms or guacamole.. all of which are listed on the page. The manager said "it doesn't come with any of that." Then changed his story and said I didn't select the option for tortillas. THERE IS NO OPTION! OnlyThe option to buy! First and LAST time ever going there. Tried the shrimp and it was mushy and bland. never again, what bad customer service!!

Such a cute spot. Good food and lovely people. It feels family whenever we dine here. Good portions, yummy and price point is decent. No weird upcharges. I love to support local businesses that are worth it and this spot has always been a fave. Parking is sometimes problematic, just fyi. I've dined on the patio (which is super cute w/my dog) and the inside is cute and comfy.
