This is a hole-in-the-wall family restaurant. All the food we ordered was good and authentic, but it isn't the best Peruvian food I've had. I would say though, their portions are extremely generous. You can definitely split one Lomo Saltado, their signature dish, with two adults. The parking lot is small and can be easily full. It is also probably one of the tightest parking lots I've seen, so beware of bad drivers dinging your car. It can get really busy with multiple families waiting outside. We waited almost an hour! However, the service is great once you're in. They're fast, friendly, and the food is served quickly. Expect to pay $30-40 per person (that's if you order your own items).

Had high expectations but feel disappointed. The pescado sudado is way too salty and the hyped lomo saltado is just okay.

Ok so Mario's is by far one of the best Peruvian food around 😋. Mamitas in Glendale and Rosty in Highland Park have lost there touch. Good portions are served here... price a bit up there, but you pay for what u get. 3 people 1 plate each 2 sodas and a horchata. Nice warm bread no dessert for a total $79 left the $100 flat. Food was good 👍 I would go there again for Peruvian food 😋 there was a 15 min wait... and parking is limited 🙋‍♂️

This place is soooo good. The lomo Saltado is our favorite as well as the Marisco saltado. The spicy green sauce is also the perfect! They have limited dine in again and I can’t wait to eat in the restaurant again!

No, they do not make those dishes. They make the most common and simplist Peruvian dishes.
