I'm visiting from Scotland and was delighted to find Mario's. This must be the best pizza in Los Angeles! And really friendly people.

Highly recommend. Got a veggie pizza from here for the first time today and it was delicious! I’ve found my new favorite pizza parlor!

A nice local food spot! Great food and service. Support your local businesses. If you're looking to support quality local businesses in LA, Mario's Pizza is definitely worth a stop. The food is genuinely good, it's clear they care about what goes into each pizza, and that attention to detail really shows. Service was friendly and efficient without being intrusive, which is exactly what you want when you just want to enjoy a simple pizza lunch. Mario's has that authentic local pizzeria vibe, and in a city like LA where everything can feel corporate or overly trendy, it's nice to find spots that just do their thing well without pretense. This is the kind of place where the owners clearly care about their regulars. Definitely worth supporting and recommending to others in the area.

The food is great and always ready quickly. And they are so nice! The large pizzas are such a good size compared to larges at other places. We get their pizza for family hangs and everyone loves it

Absolutely delicious pizza. High quality ingredients and the for me the key was the flavor of the sauce and the dough. All together and it makes the best pizza I’ve eaten since I moved to LA. Wow! I can’t wait to try more.

I wanted something to eat for an early lunch and decided to make my way down here from Long Beach since I’ve heard good reviews about this place. The first slice instantly made the trip worth it. I can’t say enough good things about this place! The crust is perfectly crisp on the outside, and has excellent flavor. Lots of sides too and all made to order. 10/10 spot.

The best carnitas in town, the tacitos de carnitas are to die for. The Cocido de rez is good. I'm glad their tortilla chips are thinner than they used to be, nice thin and crispy

Daniel Martinez

I love all their food but my favorites are tacos de carnitas... they are so deliciou. I recommend.

Carlos Hernandez-Esparza

Well I have been going to the restaurant since I was in my mom’s belly. I am 54 years old and I am still earrings here. I always get the Taquito but it’s actually a taco filled to the top with carnitas cheese and a sliced avocado and believe me they are Delicious

Massive burritos and combo plates served old-school cafeteria style. The carnitas are crispy on the edges and juicy inside. Salsa bar is simple but solid. There’s a big parking lot and plenty of seating. Feels like a neighborhood ritual more than a restaurant.

Always amazing ❣️❣️❣️ This is a long overdue review. I’ve been to this restaurant for 8 years +++ The owners and staff are always wonderful, helpful, and polite This is a true authentic, Mexican food restaurant (Pride Themselves Homestyle Authentic restaurant ) These photos were taken at 11:30 AM on a Monday morning because I was craving their delicious food . Hence, the reason why there’s no one in the restaurant. This place is always packed because the food is absolutely incredible. The food quality is always incredible. Can’t say enough of how delicious this food is. Thank you for maintaining such quality and excellence for these years ❣️ Thomas

The atmosphere has changed but not the food. They removed the salsa bar and blocked off the cafeteria line, but that's it. I haven't been there since COVID made us do takeout only!

Junior Rodriguez

I been coming here for over 20+ years and they never disappoint me. The food is excellent its always a must for me to come here when I'm in the West Los Angeles/ Culver City area. By far one of the best Mexican food establishments in The Los Angeles County. The Super Tostada de lengua and Nachos de asada are delicious!!!!!

Tony Kim

Was in the neighborhood so wanted to try this place, the food is good but the inside was little dirty and dark. You have to order in the window, then your food is packed togo, then you grab a seat and sit down to eat or take it togo with you. The food is good, nothing anything special. Wish the interior was little bit more brighter and cleaner.

Johnny Moon

Food Looks good. I came here to try the menudo. I hope my taste buds like it as much as my eye sight. And beer is available as well. Great employees too.

Food was great. Small plates. Ravioli was homemade. Goat cheese crostini was delicious. Focacci bread was basically a texas toast.

I went with their SPICY Chicken Wings + Ranch Sauce. Pretty Bomb but, a bit tangy so I would recommend some Garlic Knots to offset the tanginess. It didn't come with Celery or Carrots. Decent amount of meat on the bones and cooked just right. I grabbed myself a Jarritos from their drink cooler. I didn't feel like Pizza tonight. It was about $16- and I gave the lady a $20 and told her to keep the change. I didn't have to but, she didn't look grateful for a 1/4 percentage of the meal. I thought it was fair for someone working in the Service Industry. I feel a SMILE and a nice THANK YOU could have gotten her a $10+ TIP. Place was very Clean. Restrooms Clean and Open for Customers upon asking. There's like 5 spots and a Handicapped Spot out front for Parking. A new Mexican Restaurant is under construction next door otherwise, it's Street Parking. Prices are Decent. They could use some music and maybe another TV besides whatever movie is on the big screen. I will be back later for some Pizza.

Pizza was excellent! Crunchy crust. Very generous with the toppings, unlike some places. It's pretty much a takeout place, While there is seating, it's pretty much an afterthought. If they want to encourage dining there, they could certainly make the dining room more inviting with some simple, inexpensive upgrades. (Like loose the XMAS decorations and Santas. It's almost March, replace the burned-out light bulbs in the chandeliers, red-checked tablecloths on the tables, don't store supplies in the dining room or where visible from it. Some type of partition around the order counter would help).

Jaime Chavez

I got the carnitas plate which had decent flavor. The salsa provided with it certainly helped. The rice and beans were just okay. I would ask for the carnitas to be a little crispier next time with a spicier salsa.

Tere Vega

Food was just a little blend this time, lacking some flavor. I used to come here a few years back and the food was good then, now it was missing something. Not sure, either salt or more flavor. Its still ok but not as it used to be. I thought adding salsa and lime would help and give it more flavor but not when salsa was blend too. Hopefully they do something and bring the flavor how it used to be.

Marco Salazar

This is a great little place, it's been open for a long time. I been eating here since I was a kid, my dad used to bring me and my brothers. The carnitas tacos are great, except they change the cheddar cheese to the white cheese. Tacos taste good but not like they used to taste. There is limited parking, the restaurant is very clean.

I was looking for menudo, turned out they only serve at the weekend. The price is not too bad for a set of plate, the carnitas perfectly soaked in the tomato juice is very tender. Some worker were having lunch there, some family gathering, the waiter is very welcoming.

I was with some friends who called an order in for pick up . I didn't eat here or go to pick them up so I can only speak on what we ordered and what I ate . The chicken and pastor tacos are the b…

Probably the best taco plate around. Their hard shell beef tacos are pretty great. I've had their massive burritos before too and overall this place is just good.

Their huevos ranchers are delicious. I also love their crunchy beef tacos! Its a little hole in the wall, but the service is fast and easy. Staff is friendly. Come early because they can get busy…

Marcela S.P (March)

Definitely a 3 stars! Order a super burrito and unfortunately they gave us a side or gone bad avocado. Plus the Caldo de res super salty. I just feel like the authentic mexican food is no longer there! Of course there are other plates that still love to eat next time I come back Im ordering my usual.

John Okita

If you want traditional chile verde, don't order it here. Instead of the green chile sauce, it was red. I thought they had messed up and given me chile colorado but the meat was pork chunks. The taste was okay but I would have preferred the green sauce.

Alvaro Prieto

Strike Three! Three Stars! Every time I've eaten here the food is either bland and salty. The Jamica tasted like chlorine tap water. I grew up in the area and always heard good things about this place. However after trying it out three times I give it 3 stars. The glowing reviews might be from Nostalgia from an earlier time. In California there's really no reason to come here given the great amount of other Mexican places. I'm sorry maybe this place fell off a cliff after Covid. They better shape up fast

andrew johnson

Had a bad stomach ache after eating here. Until today, I used to trust Google reviews. Obviously I have to question my taste and judgement if this place was so well reviewed. However my friend who ate with me and is an excellent cook agreed that the food was not good. This place has nice Mexican tile work, the clean toilet and good service but really an eat and run kind of place with mediocre food.

El abajeno has gone downhill big time! I remember a while back you'd get a huge, I mean huge delicious juicy tasty burrito? best burrito you've ever had in your life! now it's complete garbage. I…

Just went to Mario’s for a bit of lunch. 11:15. They open at 11. He says he’s making fresh pies. I wait 15 minutes. He brings out two slices over heated that we’re from yesterday. Dry and no flavor. Then I asked the guy the why he gave me slices from yesterday and he said sorry and gave me my money back. Do not eat here u less you want old stale pie. Disappointing.
