Mario´s Restaurant — Restaurant in Jalisco

After reading other peoples reviews, we decided to give Mario's a try for Saturday lunch as we live very close. The service is very fast and friendly, so no complaints there.

Unfortunately the food was very disappointing.

My husband had the Double Burger & fries. The burger meat was sloppy and had a bad taste and seemed like it was some kind of meat/rice blend. And the fries tasted like they were left over from the night before, and they just heated them up. They were definitely not fresh. I had the Beef Fajitas. The tortillas were cold and the meal was quite bland. The side salad was nice, it had mango, broccoli, cauliflower and beetroot in it, which was a nice addition.

We were very disappointed, as we were hoping this could be a regular place to eat each week. I was really expected full flavored, traditional Mexican food.

Maybe we just got them...

Hands down this was the BEST restaurant I ate at while in the Chapala-Ajijic area! The food, service, attention to detail, quant atmosphere, portions and prices were all excellent. When I first arrived I met the gracious and friendly owner who was outside grilling vegetables for their amazing salsa and fresh made chips they serve everyone. I first had lunch where I ordered an excellent Hawaiian Hamburger and home made fries. It was so good I returned for dinner the next day and had grilled Camarones Zarandeados with a sauce to die for and the Bistec de Res, which was also excellent. I also look around what other people were eating and it all looked delicious! This is a must go...

We have been doing Marios a while via traitte mx but this was our 1st time there. Staff greeted us at the door. Drink orders took 4min so very fast. Right away chips and the best salsa lakeside was brought to the table. I got the special which was filet mignon with bacon and mushrooms. The salsa is so good I actually asked about buying some for home..I enjoyed it for about 3 days..There was 5 in our group. Everyone enjoyed their food..all clean plates...Mom got the Ajillo fish which is smothered in roasted Poblano peppers which I took and put on my filet..omg ..so good. Mom loves their fish it's white, fresh and a great portion. We ll be back Thank...
