Don't know how I missed this place for so long, but I'm super glad I was directed here by a friend.
There are so many Mexican restaurants here in San Diego it's kinda daunting trying to find a really consistent place.
This was my third time visiting and most definitely will not be my last.
Personalized service from the owner, awesome food and Margaritas, nice atmosphere without sometimes overpowering decorations like a lot places have, just enough to be pleasing.
If I wanted overpowering, I'd go to Tijuana!
Nuff said. Go there. Pretty good chance you won't be disappointed.
I've been eating Mexican food 60 years, from here to Texas.

Service was very good but a little slow at the end. But all good and worth it. Family place with very friendly staff.

I stopped here while on a road trip and prices were expensive but figured food would be worth the price. I ordered a chilli relleno omelet and it was ok but nothing to pay such a high price. Best part was my waitress who was friendly and took real good care of me. Won't stop here again if I'm in town.

Our favorite La Mesa breakfast spot! Just found out they have a delicious Mexican mocha that goes great with breakfast. Lunch and Dinner are also delicious.

We had an amazing lunch at Mario’s in La Mesa. Standout dishes were the mixed fajitas that arrived piping hot and sizzling at the table and the vegetarian bean tostada. We also enjoyed the Pacifico beer. Definitely get the guacamole appetizer to enjoy with the free salsa and chips.

Did something happen here or what?
The food is way different now, like generic flavor or something.

I ate here 2 years ago or so and it was pretty dang good, came back last weekend and I was surprised at how much I did not enjoy my food.
I got a mixed fajita plate and it was worse than getting one from chilli's.
The only good thing about it was the sizzle it had when it hit my table, other than that I would rather just hit my local taco stand and get more flavorful food.

Came in during Oktoberfest and was disappointed. First off the staff are all super friendly and accommodating which is the only reason they get 2 stars and not 1. The food is not good at all, The salsas aren’t good , and the margaritas taste like Gatorade. I feel like their using cheap ingredients and cutting corners on the margaritas by using a mixer which makes the drinks taste suuuuuper sweet.
