Good food, good service, great experience
Mario's is just such a cool little homestyle kind of place. I've been going there since they moved from the industrial district on the other side of I-8. I usually have just something light to eat, so I haven't sampled a lot of items, but the rest of my party has always been happy with their heaping plates o' food. Good selection, prices, and service. Love the patio too. One time when Mario's was closed I ended up at Marieta's nearby and boy was I disappointed!

Love it here... : ) by CATHERINE R. at InsiderPages
We look forward to our almost weekly trip to the quaint town of La mesa, to have Mario's Mexican Food. It's delicious and their friendly staff makes you feel very welcome. We have really enjoyed every visit to this Restaurant. It's a small cozy little place, with a nice little outdoor patio in the back. Everything we have ordered has been delicious..Go and enjoy !

Good, not great, but perfect enough for 2nd trip
This is an excellent homey sit down Mexican restaurant. Built into an actual house over the past 25 years and that real family owned business feel makes this place rather nice. The bathrooms are clean and staff is very friendly. So far it's one of the better sit down Mexican places in town that I have seen thus far. The enchiladas were perfect, the rice is perfect (even with peas and carrots, not traditional, but a nice touch), the beans were so good, their buenuelitos are yummo, asada is good and the overall experience was 5 star. This place however is easy to miss, signage is not so obvious from the street. Parking is in the back and hard to get too, but plenty of street parking. This is definitely worth multiple trips. I was however, a bit disappointed with the flan. It was not room temperature, it had whipped cream on it (not traditional) and it was not the sweet caramelly flavor it should have. It was quite bland. I get the feeling they either third party their deserts or they make it way too in advance or something. But they had quick helpful and attentive service.
