First time visiting Don Mario, and it is the best place I've been in Owensboro! The restaurant is in the downtown area, and is very clean. You're greeted very warmly as soon as you enter, and the hospitality continued through the entire visit. The menu is pretty vast, from appetizers, to the traditionally expected, local Owensboro Favorites, and house specialities including the Mario Burger! They also serve alcoholic beverages, with a decent offering. The price to portion ratio is spot on! If you're ever in Owensboro, Kentucky, and you're in the mood for Mexican food, this is your spot! read more

Best place around town. Always such nice staff and good food. A great location too. I love to go here.

Chips were crunchy - salsa was flavorful. I would order the street tacos again. We sat outside and enjoyed the nice afternoon. Inside is kinda plain and not much to see. I would go back. read more

Great flavor! I had the nasty nachos and my wife has the combo plate. Nachos were definitely a five. Taco and chicken enchiladas were as well. Tamale was a little dry but not enough to ruin the meal. Salsa, guacamole and cheese sauce were also very good. Worth a stop in for dinner. read more

This was a delightful surprise. There were 8 of us for dinner an hour before they closed. We were graciously seated and served politely with no comments on it being late or to hurry. This is a very small inside space and a massive outdoor space. Local artwork decorated inside and outside spaces. The food, oh my gosh! It was the best Mexican food we have had in years. Might be worth the drive from STL to to eat dinner. We will definitely be back. read more

Food tasted great and quick service, what more can you ask for. Price isn't bad either.

One of the best Mexican places I've been to. Portions are huge and prices are decent as well. Service was fast and everything came out right for a party of 8. Place was clean. Outside seating was great. Jalapeño margarita was only $6 and was 4 times the size I get everywhere else. read more

We come to Owensboro for a bit of adult fun annually when we travel to the area for our family trip to Holiday World. We have found a lovely balance of crazy, sweaty, summer fun at Holiday World, and the clean, cultured town of Owensboro. The downtown is something to be proud of. Plenty of great food and drink to be had as well as entertainment. This year we broke away from some of our usually haunts and discovered Don Mario. Wow! The food was FANTASTIC! Not your typical watery lifeless americanized version of tacos. The place was clean, fast, and incredibly friendly. The Mojarra Frita was perfectly cooked as well. We will definitely be back next summer. read more

Some of the best food I've ever had! If I lived in Owensboro I'd eat there every week!

Great Méxican food. I had a Seafood Cocktail. It was loaded with shrimp, avocado, and a salsa sauce, that was a bit sweet. Leslie had a Beef Fajita Burrito. Actually, enough for two and quite tasty. We're from OK and Mexican food is our State's staple. So, it has to be unusually good to get a 5! We would go there again! read more

Food and service was excellent and enjoyed very much the sidewalk dining experience. Worth the drive to Owensboro

Quality of the food is always consistent. So flavorful and plentiful. The family is wonderful and when considering the children's menu definitely had the same quality and consistency as the adult menu. Completely recommended!!!! read more

Had a fun table outside but this was the worst Mexican we've ever had. The nacho plate was terrible.

This place is our weekly go to, best restaurant in town! Located downtown Owensboro, perfect location for dinner outdoors on 4th street

Wife and I were in town for business and decided to give it a try based on reviews. Let me first say we are true authentic Mexican foodies being from Southern California. Wow this is some of the best we've ever had. I had the Huevos con chorizo and a street taco (Asada) wife had chilaquiles and they both were so good we both cleared our plate. $24 total. Definitely will be returning. read more

So good we ate there two days in a row. Margaritas were awesome, very tasty. Best salsa in owensboro.

We love this place. Best Mexican Restaurant in town. We go every time we are in Owensboro!!!

Great Mexican restaurant I'm from out of town and came here. I'm a Mexican food advocate and this place is just how I like it. Cheap, fast, and not pretty. I hate Mexican restaurants that try to make it the plate look pretty. This place was very flavorful and delicious I highly recommend it great place to eat at read more

Best Mexican food in town hands down. Might I suggest the shrimp fajitas with a margarita, salt the rim of course

Seriously the best Mexican food we've had since moving from California. This place had amazing food. We got street tacos with pastor, chorizo and barbacoa and the steak Guerrero. The different meats were all great and the salsas were delicious, everything had so much flavor. On top of the great food, the service was great, they were really attentive. The outdoor seating was really nice as well. Definitely want to eat here more. read more

We all thought the food was outstanding, The #2 Pina Loca Fundida was great. Fairly new restaurant and dealing with the Covid problems I think they did a great job, I felt service was outstanding as well. We will definitely come back here again. read more
