Place was amazing, live in the area and went for the first time on a Sunday morning, we got right in and could choose inside or outside seating. Everything we got was delicious, and the service was great. Will definitely be going back.

I’ve been to Mariah’s before and wanted to like it again, but unfortunately, this visit confirmed that the quality has declined significantly.
The food is marginal at best. The meats are cheap and fatty, and the once-popular corned beef hash is now dry and poorly composed—large, bland chunks of potato, a few onions, and dry bits of corned beef. There’s no real recipe or thought behind it, though I’ll give credit for it at least being homemade in the past. Now, they've switched to Vienna-brand thin-sliced corned beef with a strong salt and vinegar aftertaste, which was disappointing.
Our food arrived lukewarm, suggesting it had been sitting before being served. For a $30 meal, that’s simply not acceptable. Adding to the frustration, they’ve cut corners by replacing butter with margarine and switching to coconut oil across the board, while simultaneously raising prices. The result is paying more for a noticeably lower-quality experience.
To be fair, the service was friendly and well-intentioned, and the restaurant manages its busy flow of customers efficiently. The food is plated nicely, and the atmosphere is still inviting. But none of that can make up for the steep drop in food quality.
Mariah’s used to be one of the best breakfast spots in North County, but not anymore. I won’t be going back.

Where else can you get a $20 grilled cheese sandwich? Grilled cheese and tomato, little side of potato salad, a pickle, coffee, tax and a tip came to $22.97. Its a nice, clean, well-run place with good food, but I feel taken advantage of here.

This is such a great little breakfast and lunch spot. I’ve had so much on the menu and I’ve never had a bad meal. Between all the eggs Benedict options and the classics, there’s so much to choose from!
French toast, Benedict Florentine, Tuna melt are a few of my favorites. They also have lots of specialty coffee drinks.
This time of year it’s a real treat to be able to sit on the nice patio outside and soak in the sunshine

My family and I have become regulars here, it is hands down our favorite neighborhood spot. And we recently asked Mariah's to help us host a celebration here for our family with over 20 guests. They made our event an absolute delight. We are so grateful to Mariah's for their impeccable attention to all details of our event— including 20+ entrees that were served hot and plated with perfect timing. They even set up a table with champagne flutes and mimosa fixings and cut our cake for us. Mariah's had 2 servers dedicated to our party— they were so attentive, courteous and kind to our family of four generations. Top notch service: Mariah's staff exudes hospitality and professionalism. Not to mention the entire menu is delicious.
In an age when everyone in this world seems to always be in such a hurry, Mariah's is a beautiful change of pace. This is where our family goes together to exhale. The atmosphere is relaxing and full of warmth. Every dining experience at Mariah's for our family is peaceful quality time together. Highly, highly recommend stopping in and staying for a while!

Just be careful when you walk in if none of the waitresses are there Service is very hit or miss. I went in there again today and sat for 15 minutes and wasted almost my whole lunchtime. Just waiting to get my order taken when the restaurant was not that busy.

We always enjoy going there. We like the outdoor seating and taking our pet. The food, service, atmosphere and pricing are good. We usually order the Benedicts and they are delicious

Tasty food at great prices and friendly service. I've been here twice and loved the experience both times. There's a family feel to this place though I don't think the staff is related? Highly recommend if you're looking for a brunch spot in San Marcos that isn't overpriced and pretentious. For those wondering, yes they do serve beer, bloody marys and mimosas.

My boyfriend and I spotted in here because it was close by and we were hungry. He got Mariah’s omelette and home fries. It was yummy! He ate it so quickly! He also upgraded to French toast instead of toast. The French toast was so good! It had a great sweet flavor! I got the Philly cheesesteak! Although it wasn’t a “Philly” cheesesteak it was delicious! It hit the spot! (I’m very critical of Philly cheesesteaks.) We would definitely go back again and I might even get the cheesesteak again!
