Mario's is the best Mexican food in Adrian. The service is always good even though the place can get pretty busy, the rice is fantastic, and the enchiladas are worth sacrificing a kid for. Really. They're great. I'm not a huge fan of Mexican food, really, but Mario's is the exception. Their complimentary tortilla chips are enough to keep me coming back.
I wish they had a bar, but that's okay. It's a great family restaurant. (Oh, and they cater. The tamales? A grad-party hit.)
I don't know where to start.  I think about this place almost every single day.  We live near Ann Arbor now  and have lived in Oakland county before and have found NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING that comes even close to this place. Â
BEST ENCHILADAS Â (The chicken.... oh....my.....gosh.....)
BEST SALSA
BEST RICE AND BEANS.
BEST PRICES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Â (3 Chicken Enchiladas, Rice and Beans.... 7.75 if my memory serves me correctly)
There are other mexican places in town, and they are good....... but this place is THE BEST. Â If they are closed for a holiday, I seriously get sad. Â You have to try this place.
Best Mexican food in Adrian. Delicious. Refried beans are terrific. We go out of our way to eat here. There can be a wait at dinner time but worth it. The staff is super friendly. The building classifies this as a dive but don't let that stop you from getting some great food at a great value.
Review Source:Whenever I'm in town to visit family, I have to eat at mario's at least twice. Everyone is friendly, the food is served quickly and the Tex Mex food is the best. I keep thinking that I'll like the grasshopper better, but never do.
The enchiladas are supurb with the nice sauce that is served up nice and gooey on a hot plate. Love it.
And at the end of your meal, you can pickup a desert to go, in the form of M&M's - you can't get better than that for economy.
Authentic, Cheap, a little gritty...a gem in the small town of Adrian. If Mario's was in columbus, it'd be one of those hidden hole in the wall places, but in Adrian it's on a 'main' drag. Went there with locals and was impressed! Of course, chip and homemade salad greated us at our seats, Pretty good stuff! I was recommended the Sombrero Special-two small cheese quesadillas, a beef taco, and beef enchilada. It came with rice and beans. Everything was geat. The refried beans, first off, had great flavor, the rice didn't have any dumb veggies in it. The guacamole creama was perfectly seasoned with lime and salt. The food was plain ole' yum!! The beef was good, the taco was soft corn and great, the enchilada was smothered in a mexican gravy and was different, but in a good way. One of the better echiladas I've had! The staff made a great effort to accomodate vegetarians in my party and made specialized dishes for them. Also, none of the meal prices surpassed $8.25 (fajitas), I think mine was $7.25. What a steal! At my fav Fiesta Jalisco, the same meal proabably would have been $10.95 and well all know fajitas are aorund $15 anywhere. This food joint really hit the spot. Maybe they should think about another location, say in Columbus, but for now, I'll just have to return next time I'm in Adian.
Review Source:The following statement always sparks a debate in this town but Mario's is The best Mexican resturant in town. They have the best salsa and prices in Adrian.
While the building may look a little bleak from the outside I promise you there is a treasure inside. The chorizo burrito is my personal favorite.
