LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THIS PLACE! I've been going to Mario's since I was a little girl. The food is excellent, the service is great, and the staff is extremely nice. I love that it's located in Downtown La Mesa so after a delicious meal you can walk around in that area to all the little shops or pubs. I have... More

We have likely been here 100 times. Consistently good Mexican food. It is not gourmet, but very good and the cost is reasonable. I recommend their fish stew, chicken mole (the best I have ever had), pork tamales, carnitas, and chipolte shrimp. Good service from the same staff for 13+ years we have been going here. Within walking distance of... More

If your looking for a good little Mexican food joint, look no further. Mario's has delicious food at a great price!!! The place is small but they have authentic food at a budget price. Give them a try, you won't be disappointed.

Out door Patio is nice most of the year. I love the "Maricsos" plate. The indoor seating is a little crowded but I almost always eat in their patio.

I get to Mario's at least once, evry visit to La Mesa. The staff and the food make this a most inviting palce to visit. I am hooked on their Mexican breakfasts. I personally think there is none better.

The is, hands down, the best mexican restaurant in San Diego. Great food, great atmosphere with music, nice location and a family like feeling. I have been eating here for years and have NEVER had a bad meal. They even have a nice, small patio for outdoor eating, not facing the main strip of downtown La Mesa, so it's nice... More
