Mario’s Bar & Grill Restaurant

Family owned and operated legit Mexican! A true diamond in the rough! Next time your in Trenton at the arena or for any reason you won’t be disappointed. Red and White Sangria is off the charts good! They also televise all MLS and European League soccer games!

Love the sangria! The food is really good, one of my favorite dishes is the steak nachos! If you’re in town i highly recommend it! Good food and good prices!

This is the perfect spot to drink and eat some snacks (wings, nachos, etc.). It’s a dive but don’t let that scare you. The patrons and staff are mad friendly.

The lobster/​seafood paella is tremendous! They also serve this orange soda-​like drink I’m keen to as well.

I went there with a few friends on a Saturday. it really nice spot to chill most definitely will go again. their nachos and the calamari was amazing… the drinks were made by alex and he was great bartender. We asked him to make us a shot of «lil beers» and he did a good job. :)

We went here on a
listing. The prices were very reasonable. The food left a bit to be desired. The app steak nachos were quite good; however the steak kabobs were overcooked and the tortillas were a bit stale. The chicken and pork kabobs were quite tasty. The waitress was extremely nice but clueless about the menu. Overall, I would go again-​pretty good for the price.

Came here by accident trying to find Henry’s Seafood joint (which is now some raunchy bar) and I’m so damn happy we stumbled upon their giant billboard on Broad Street.
Mario’s looks like a small Irish pub from the outside (and in the inside actually) but it’s actually a great Spanish restaurant. The place was pretty empty on a Saturday night and we got a booth right away with the most AWESOME waiter. He promptly informed us that we arrived during Happy Hour — YES, happy hour on a Saturday at 8 pm. Bless Latinos for always knowing how to have a good time!
Ok now the food —
We did not order an appetizer, YET our awesome watier brought up out a small sampler plate since we were new customers; wings and things — all regular bar food.
Entrees–
Chicken burrito with salsa verde, rice and salad. Packed with flavor, the salsa verde definitely hit the spot and makes you crave some more.
The better entrée– Shrimp in garlic sauce. Please do not be take aback with the small size of the shrimp, they do give you maybe 10 or so. If you are a person with a big appetite you will need an additional order. This sauce is some of the best garlic sauce I’ve ever had — comparable to Malagas nearby or to Portuguese restaurants in Newark. I threw my white rice in the bowl to swim in the heavenly oceans of garlic.
Our drinks were made quick and at half their price they tasted even better. Our waiter said the night to come is Fri night for Karaōke or Happy Hour during the week.
