Mario's is situated in an old house near downtown La Mesa, California. There are 3 small dining rooms and an outdoor patio. They do have a small parking lot in back but if that is full the street parking places in the area are usually all taken. The tables and booths are very close together and the day I was there for lunch on a Saturday almost all of them were occupied. The female servers were all very pleasant and they were dressed in Mexican attire. The menu has the usual Mexican Entrees and they have beer and wine. I had the homemade chile rellano with rice and beans. It wasn't that good since the cheese wasn't melted and the chile was hard to cut even with a knife. If I ever go back I will order something else.

6. Nando's Taco Shop
Reviewed By Gail G
I went thru the drive thru yesterday around 2;00 pm. The menu has so many choices, I just picked almost the first thing my eyes read on the menu, a carne asada burrito. It was absolutely delecious. Lots of tender carne asada, pico de gallo and guacamole on a giant homemade tortillo. The burrito was enormous and I cannot say enough about how tasty it was. I don't even like pico de gallo and i really liked it on this. if I lived here this would be my go to Mexican place> My burrito was 7.00 and easily could be at least 2 meals or feed 2 people. Very generous portion. indoor, Outdoor seating as well.

Sometimes finding a neighborhood restaurant with savory dishes, excellent choices, and great prices that has polite, professional and helpful servers can be seen as a blessing. At Ranas you have all of this in addition to a very clean, safe and friendly environment that is well managed and out performs most other restaurants for a really good and filling breakfast. As well as many mores breakfast's, I intend to enjoy lunch and dinner there for years to come. When you are lucky enough to find a perfect spot that brings you great pleasure, enjoy it as often as you can because memories are just not nourishing enough should opportunities to visit ever end.

We met our local friends who highly recommended this restaurant to satisfy our craving for good Mexican food and it lived up to our high expectations. We had to wait for about 20 minutes to be seated for dinner but once we were in, we had great service. Our orders were brought out very quickly and all the food tasted so much better than any Mexican restaurant on the east coast. The margaritas were some of the largest sizes we had ever seen and the food proportions were also on the large side. I don't think anyone in our party were able to finish their plates and we gave all our leftovers to our local friends. I look forward to visiting this place again on our next visit.

2. El Pollo Grill

Reviewed By Bodhi88
Based on reviews on TripAdvisor and Yelp, we decided to try this restaurant as it was near where we were staying during our trip to San Diego. It's a little hole-in-the-wall restaurant, but we've found that these places tend to have the best food. We weren't disappointed as this was one of the best Mexican meals that we had during our trip. I ordered the Pollo Asado burrito, and it was excellent. Others in our party ordered the carne Asada burritos, and they were equally pleased. I would definitely recommend the carne asada fries as well. I'd never had them before, and I can only say that I wish I could find a place in my hometown that made them. They're basically nachos, but instead of chips, they use french fries! If you're in the mood for really good mexican, and don't mind eating in a small, simple restaurant, then I would definitely recommend El Pollo Grill.
