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,...

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.

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.
