The carne saltado is delicious. The pollo saltado is fabulous. The seafood is scrumptious. Try the soda--it tastes like star fruit. The people at Mario's create this ambiance of home. Just thinking about Mario's makes my mouth water. No joke. I take everyone from LA and visitors to LA to this restaurant before any other.
It doesn't hurt that a friend of a friend owns this joint. It's like family.
Pros: good prices, good selection, good food
Cons: parking, long wait, closes too early
