If you’re looking for good food keep looking.HORRIBLE customer service and cold food.Coming from someone who’s worked in the industry for over 20 years don’t go here & don’t order take out either.If you’re having issues there won’t be a manager to reconcile the problem.Even on a Saturday evening, when a manager should definitely be around.Judging by the lack of business in the restaurant Im not surprised by the bad customer service & food even on the take out end of things.Definitely a failing business in the making and it shows in multiple aspects.
We checked out Mario's after spending the day out and about.Mario's didn't disappoint.Located in a strip mall type complex, Mario's has plenty of parking.The inside has very festive decorations and Mexican music playing.You are greeted by a friendly hostess and immediately receive chips and salsa when you are seated.The chips were very good and the salsa was even better.Not too mild and not too spicy.....the perfect amount of heat.Our waiter was very good.He was attentive and prompt and helped guide us through the massive menu.We ordered chips with cheese and beans for an appetizer.We had wanted queso but they didn't serve that.This appetizer did not disappoint! It was loaded (and I mean loaded) with cheese! The best way I could describe this was it was basically like eating a thin crust cheese sandwich.I ordered the two taco combo for my entree.The carnitas taco is served with pico on the side.The grilled fish taco is served with chipotle mayo on the side.Both are wrapped in tinfoil to keep them warm.They were very good, especially the fish taco.You get a generous portion of fish grilled perfectly.The refried beans were delicious as well.We also ordered a burrito.It was massive and the flavor of the sauce complimented the carne asada nicely.Our daughter ordered the kids cheese enchilada combo.She really liked it.If we're ever in the area again we wouldn't hesitate to return to Mario's.
Good, solid, West coast Mexican food. $ friendly IMHO.Traditional not trendy. Updated my Stars to 5, because I eat here so often; for like 40 years ( no, seriously, probably over multiple owners). Today slid in for lunch at the bar on a day off. A favorite 2 taco #10 was served up fast. Margarita and service solid from Omar. As a "chunky salsa" guy, Mario's has one of my favorite smooth salsas. I also prefer their rice and beans. I find the staff friendly and responsive. Read a few of the critical reviews. Their experiences have not been mine. Hope the restaurant registers their concerns and ensure similar things don't occur.
