Great food at decent price!I showed up 30 minutes before closing. Only card was being accepted at that time. The man at the counter was polite and patient. The prices were fair and the wait time was reasonable. My order was correct and the portions were a good size. $49 for fajitas, bean and cheese burrito, burrito supreme, carne asada fries, and a crispy chicken taco. The only negative thing is that the bean and cheese burrito was poorly wrapped and soggy so it needed to be eaten with a fork, which wasn't bad! It still tasted great.

Great food, staff is very friendly, and the prices r still very reasonable, which is unbelievable these days!Parking: There is plenty of parking spots, but it's small and when they r crowded, it can b tricky getting in and out, but worth it!Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessibility

I recently tried the carne asada torta at Mario's Taco Shop, and I have to say, I was a bit disappointed. The portion size was smaller than expected, especially considering the higher price. And unfortunately, the bread was on the soggy side, which affected the overall texture of the sandwich. I was hoping for a more substantial and satisfying experience. ???

It saddens me to write this review but the jerk (I use this word because he earned it read on) at Mario's today gave me no choice, and here's the story. I'm in my 60's recuperating from a major illness, I am prohibited from driving so I am dependent on others to drive me where I need to go.I love Mario's Burrito's and my Burrito is simple, beans, rice, extra lettuce and I add salsa. (their salsa is the best) Nothing else. I don't mind the charge of $11.00, it's fresh and it's always has been good.So, this past Tuesday I went in my niece ordered my burrito, she ordered her own I went in to pay I paid separately and I greeted the nice lady at the counter and told her my order and she said yes and I said they were separate and she repackage them and rang up my nieces $10 and I was surprised that she rang mine up $8 not $11 as before I figured well finallymakes sense. I said Thank you and left.My niece dropped me at home and I settled in and cut into my burrito to add the salsa to find watery, soupy beans pouring out. NO rice and very little lettuce! to say I was shocked (that's putting it nicely) is an understatement, It was not eatable. I tossed it in the trash!I was livid, I don't have $8 to throw away. So I calmed down and called Mario's. The gal answered the phone and I said who I was and the order and she knew right away, she said oh yes "he (I 'm assuming the cook older man I saw earlier) forgot to add rice" surprisingly I said "that's not all it was just a flour tortilla with watery, runny beans and a little lettuce what happened? I get my burritos from you guys all the time and there great, this is the worst I have every had in my life from anywhere, I threw it in the trash.So, she said she was sorry and that for me to bring it back that day and she would refund me my money. I told her I would have to dig it out of the trash but that I was recuperating and explained a bit from what and that there was no way I could get a ride back down to her shop that same day that it might be a couple of days or so I wasn't sure because I was dependent on others and their schedules. She said fine; and it wasn't like she was going to resell the burrito. So I collected it from the trash and wrapped it and on Friday my niece had her day off that was the soonest; I went to Mario's and I went in with the Burrito wrapped in a bag and asked the gentleman if the gal with the blond hair was there he rudely said why? I explained and he cut me off and said she's at the store down the street you'll have to wait. I said ok. I went out to the car and waited 15 to 20 minutes after that I went back in and asked did he know how long she would be he then became so rude and belligerent, he said he didn't know how long if at all then he started to treat me as if I was trying to rob him of the $8, I tried to explain that I had already spoke to the lady about the burrito that the cook didn't get the order right in the first place but he didn't want to hear it. All of a sudden it was MY burrito and I needed to take it and to get out of HIS store. I was so livid, mad and upset I threw the bag down and walked out. The jerk followed me and threw the bag at me in the parking lot! My niece was so upset and shocked at his behavior she said she will never do business there again and she buys lunches at least 3x weekly and her family buys 2x dinners weekly as well not anymore and word will travel.But, this is how Mario's treats an elderly customer when THEY make a mistake, then make a PROMISE to correct it.Shame, Shame, Shame. That's not the way to do business. Over $8.I'll survive. I hope Mario's karma can. To me they are cheats.
