Great friendly service. Parking was really available. Enjoyed their special margarita. Lunch was good, but there are better places for food. I will come back to try breakfast or just for drinks.

I started going to Mario’s 40+ years ago. Knew Mario when he had the little kitchen on Center Street in La Mesa… then expanded to the old fishing tackle shop… and finally his move to La Mesa Blvd. Whether I picked up items on my way to a job site or being the ‘go to’ place for family & events… Mario’s has always been my favorite Mexican Restaurant! So many memories there!

Parking: Small private parking lot and street curb parking.
