Went with my buddies last night for a birthday dinner. Not a lot of people there, but the restaurant is gorgeous and for night to be able to talk to my friends and connect again was fantastic server. Danielle was great and the food was top level. Definitely coming back and if you have three people get the Tomahawk, no question great times.

If you’re looking for authentic, flavorful, and consistently delicious Mexican food in La Mesa, look no further than Mario’s de la Mesa. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with warm, friendly service that makes you feel like part of the family. The atmosphere is cozy, casual, and filled with the mouthwatering aroma of fresh, homemade dishes. Their carne asada burrito is hands-down one of the best in San Diego County — perfectly grilled, tender, and packed with flavor. The enchiladas are always spot on, smothered in rich, savory sauce, and their chile relleno is a must-try: crispy on the outside, soft and cheesy on the inside. The chips and salsa are fresh and addictive, and their margaritas are the perfect blend of tart and sweet. What really sets Mario’s apart is the genuine care they put into every plate and every guest experience. It’s no surprise this place has such a loyal local following. Whether you’re stopping by for a casual lunch, a family dinner, or celebrating with friends, Mario’s de la Mesa delivers every time. Highly, highly recommend — this gem is a La Mesa treasure!

Authentic food and incredible flavors! I hope this place blows up!
