Mario's catered an event I went to last night and it was excellent. The Mario's team showed up in full force to execute the best possible service and quality. They had chicken and steak with rice, beans, veggies, salsa, corn and flour tortillas. Everything was seasoned well and tasted great. I even went back for seconds which is unusual for me! The event itself was super nice with live music. I definitely recommend you hit up Mario's for your events in the future. read more

Food: Had the plate of Barbacoa mini tacos which came with 4 tacos for about 11 dollars including text. The meat was juicy and the tortillas were fresh. I just wanted more flavor. The salsas were good they had mild medium and spicy I had the mild and medium. Both were just okay. The plate did come with grilled onions and a charred jalapeño as well as some lime. Service: Service was fast. They had my food out within 5 minutes through the drive through. Staff were friendly. Ambiance: I got my order through drive through. But it's connected to a gas station so I imagine it being a small hole in the wall. read more

We were hungry for something different, and breakfast tacos are always a good idea. However, the tacos at Mario's were a great idea. Homemade tortillas, fluffy eggs, thick bacon and delicious beans...we were in taco Heaven. And, don't miss out on the homemade salas. All three were great. read more

Who would have thought a restaurant right off the highway next to a gas station would be SOOO good?! Mario's has yet to disappoint us. Granted, it may take a bit longer than you'd like in the drive thru for your order, HOWEVER, it's because everything is made FRESH!! We have had breakfast and lunch/dinner from here and have enjoyed everything. Their chips & queso with ground beef is always something we add to our order. Their breakfast tacos are fantastic as well as their enchiladas and quesadillas. We are also a huge fan of their asada fries. OH, and the horchata is quite tasty. There are plenty of tables inside to dine in, and has always been very clean when we've gone inside to place our order. Definitely in our top faves here in town. Only down side is there are not open for dinner. read more

Mario's is incredible quick service Mexican food. They are continently located just off the toll road headed in/ out of town making the drive through an easy place to stop and grab a bite to eat. Their food is fast and super tasty. Try all the sauces but the spicy is my personal fav. Highly recco the aguas de lemon or pina, super refreshing on our hot TX days. There are tables inside and the place is always clean and tidy. Thank y'all for extending your hours to include dinner service!! read more

Mario's tacos is situated next to a Valero gas station and has a drive thru, so it goes without saying I was probably going in with fairly low expectations, but I stop at that Valero pretty frequently and I had a hankerin for some tacos, so I decided to give it a go. I ordered the steak ranchero and chicken ranchero tacos and a horchata, I was served quickly and my food was piping hot. The tortillas were fresh and well made, the meat was perfectly seasoned, and prepared, these may have been the best tacos I've had in Texas, they are definitely the best tacos I've had in years. The horchata was very good as well. All in all I wish I had stopped in here sooner. On top of that the price was more than reasonable for the portion size and quality. Don't skip Mario's tacos. read more

It's inside a gas station, but any Texan knows some of the best meals, especially tacos, come from inside a gas station. And Mario's is no exception. Mario's has the full range of breakfast and lunch tacos, each made to order. The service is quick; the food comes out quickly; the portions are generous; and the tacos are good. If I had one gripe, it was the red salsa -- which needed a lot more oomph to it. BUT, having said that, Mario's is a welcome addition to Lockhart, especially on the west side of town. read more

This place just recently opened this location so I am totally going to give it another chance and hopefully up this to a better review. However, the entire restaurant smells like the bathroom. It's a raw sewage kind of smell mixed with harsh cleaning products, and it will really singe your noise hairs if you choose to eat in! So for the love of tacos, order TO GO. The salads are the best in town, so fresh and tasty. Go for the green one, it has more kick, but both combined are ideal. Also, I was not impressed by the carnitas. It's the cubed-style carnitas, which aren't very flavorful. Going to try something else next time. I am rootin' for y'all but you gotta deal with that smell and hang up some pictures so it's not so depressing in there. read more

This place is so good considering it is attached to a gas station. The food is always hot and fresh and there is a huge variety of items you can get. Of course, these tacos aren't as good as spicy bite in Kyle, but no place can really top that. (definitely recommend checking spicy bite out) The salsa is okay and the breakfast tacos are big!! You won't leave this place hungry, and if you do it is your fault. Go try it!! read more

It was only five minutes from our house so we took off. I judge a place almost immediately on their chips and salsa. They passed the test with delicious homemade tortilla chips and salsa that wasn't too spicy.

They make their tortillas in house and they were delicious as we were both of the dishes we ordered. The service was amazing - attentive but not overbearing. The restaurant itself is clean and had a lot of space. at first I thought it was just the front room, but there's a big room to the back right past the register.

Server asked if we knew what we wanted but since it was our first time we asked for the menu & ordered 3 drinks: Mexican bottled coke, jarritos (pineapple) and Sangria (soda non alcoholic) We ordered 18 mini tacos and 2 cheese quesadillas. Total was: $57 (cash ONLY) - Al pastor: 5/5 for taste, flavor, presentation and amount of meat to taco ratio. Only thing sadly missing was fresh pineapple for topping. - Suadero (fajita): 2/5 it was nicely packed but sadly missed the mark on flavor and it was very dry. - Cabeza: 2/5 the cut of meat was good but missing flavor. - Chorizo: 3/5 the flavor was good but not great. - Cheese quesadillas: 4/5 the cheese was quality cheese but didn't actually melt at all. Once the food came out (10min) we were given 2 types of salsas: green guacamole and red with chile de arbol. I was only able to add a few drops of the red salsa so beware.

Tried out Commerce Cafe in Lockhart and had a really solid experience overall. The roasted airline…read morechicken breast was absolutely amazing--perfectly cooked, juicy, and full of flavor. The glazed carrots had a light maple taste that paired really well with the dish. The temperature in the restaurant was perfect, which made the whole experience even more comfortable. Service was spot on too--Anna took great care of us and was incredibly patient as we shared stories and even offered a few decor suggestions. She was attentive without being overbearing. The music was great and set at just the right volume, which made it easy to relax, enjoy the meal and hear the conversation. That said, the decor could use a bit of improvement. No offense to the artist, but the prints felt a little odd and too small for the wall space. The overall layout of the restaurant could also be better--it didn't feel as cohesive as the food and service deserved. Also, the hardwood seats could use some padding for both the back and bottom to make longer visits more comfortable. All in all, definitely worth checking out for the food and atmosphere, with just a few areas that could be elevated.

Ordered a couple of different breakfast with lots of items so we could try them all. Standouts were the pancakes. They just need real Maple syrup and they would be fantastic! (Hint- I'll pay extra for real maple syrup). Grits were very good. Sausage and home fried potato's were good. Scrambled Eggs were ok, a bit overdone for me. She like the country style ham. Biscuits and sausage gravy were ok... Needed more sausage, more spice. I'd go back for sure.

Stopped here for some breakfast tacos on the way to the beach. The tacos were so fresh, the tortillas were homemade and delicious.

The place is dated, but clean and welcoming. The food had good flavor, but was more greasy than I prefer. Overall it was good portions for the price. If I had to recommend one thing it'd be the Menudo - I'd go back just to get that to go.

Every table around us was full of dirty dishes where people had ate. The food was ok but not worth $70. The barbacoa was so greasy... the menudo was not hot at all.

Sauce was excellent and chicken was tender...and for a lunch special it was under $25 before tip. Highly recommend this spot!
