" An unexpected gem! We stumbled into Mario's by chance and were incredibly impressed. The food was full of traditional flavors, and the service was attentive. I recommend their tacos al pastor; they’re truly authentic and delicious! " (*Curated Review*)

" We had breakfast at Mario's last weekend. The huevos rancheros were delicious, but I wish the salsa was spicier. The service was friendly, and we were seated promptly. The only issue was parking; it was somewhat difficult to find a spot. Overall, a charming place with good food! " (*Curated Review*)

" We love Mario's! The family atmosphere is perfect for us. The children enjoyed their quesadillas while my husband and I savored the enchiladas. It all tasted fresh and homemade! Can't wait to come back and explore more of the menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a pretty good time at Mario's, trying their combination plate. The flavors were nice and I appreciated the generous portions. The chips and salsa were equally good! It was a little busy, so service was slightly delayed, but certainly not a dealbreaker. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Mario's for the first time and tried their birria tacos. While they were not bad, I've definitely had better in the past. The service was prompt, and the atmosphere was charming. I might return to give another dish a try, but this experience left me wanting more. " (*Curated Review*)

Archived Reviews (598)

" I had high expectations for Mario's based on the reviews, but it fell a bit short for me. The food was good but not outstanding; the carne asada tacos were fine but lacked the depth of flavor that I'd hoped for. However, the service was excellent, and the place itself has a wonderful vibe, making it still worth a visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" We tried Mario’s based on a friend's recommendation. The food was good, especially the tamales which were bigger than expected! However, I found the rice a bit dry. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, making it a nice spot for a casual meal. Overall, we had a decent experience and would want to explore more dishes on their menu. " (*Curated Review*)
