I entrusted Mario with altering my suit, making it clear that I needed it completed within two weeks. He agreed. When he quoted me a price, I joked about it being high but assured him I would pay what he asked. One week later, Mario called to ask if I still wanted the alterations--something that should have already been in progress. I confirmed and reminded him he had only three days left before my event. He reassured me he could finish it in just one day. What I received was an unprofessional and careless attempt at tailoring. The jacket was altered in a way that caused the back to curl awkwardly. The pants were taken in so excessively that they resembled skinny trousers, with one leg inexplicably wider than the other. During our conversation, Mario mentioned that he was leaving his position to start teaching tailoring. It's unfortunate that he will be passing on such poor craftsmanship, lack of professionalism, and disregard for commitments. Despite paying what he charged, the quality of work wasn't even close to what was promised or deserved. I attempted to reach out multiple times to give Mario a chance to correct his mistakes, but he has ignored my calls and voicemails. This experience was amateurish, disappointing, and completely unacceptable. I would never return, nor would I recommend Mario's tailor shop to anyone. Patético read more

Hands down, the nicest and most skillful tailor I've found in Tucson (ask him about his story). Wonderful craftsmanship. I've taken all my suits and several pairs of pants to Mario to have them altered, and he's always done great work. Good prices... on par with small private tailors. PLAN AHEAD. He gets a lot of work, and it's difficult to have a quick turnaround. On the rare occasion I've needed something on a short timeframe, he's called other customers to adjust their timing so that he could fit me in. 100% customer satisfaction guaranteed. read more

Mario was extremely professional and generous. He tailored my shirt and suit and pants and vest for 200 dollars and they were done at a highly professional level. He's been working at his craft since he was 11 and it shows! Incredible master of tailoring. read more

Mario's Tailors - My tailored suit - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Looked up tailors on yelp. Mario's was highly rated. I needed trousers hemmed and was traveling to another location, so I was under a time crunch. Mario was knowledgeable and reasonable. His place is not fancy, it looks like a busy tailors shop. Do not be fooled, it is evident that he does good work. $40 to have my pants hemmed and promised when he said. Go see him. read more

Mario is so nice and so quick!! We brought in 2 pairs of jeans at the end of the day and he had them ready for us by 1 the next day which was even a few hours earlier than he said they'd be ready. Jeans were perfectly altered! read more

My suit fits PERFECT. I'm very pleased with Marios work, and will be coming back for all other future adjustments.

Mario was amazing, I showed up 40 minutes before he closed and he was able to make my XXXL pants fit my 32 sized waist. He was able to get them done before he closed. They look amazing! I don't know how he did it. read more

Mario has a wealth of experience and it is evidenced by his work on my fiancé's suit. My fiancé had his suit for our wedding tailored by Mario. He hemmed and took in the pants, made the jacket shorter, and took in the jacket for a much nicer fit. It looks perfect! We couldn't be happier with the price, quality, attention to detail Mario offered. 10/10 recommend him and will come back in the future. read more

I've never been to a tailor before or spent a lot of money on clothes. I was very nervous about getting the hem extended on an expensive pair of pants that were too short on me. Mario did such an amazing job that when I came to pick the pants up and he showed the hem to me, I couldn't tell that it had been done at all until I held the pants up to my legs. It was like he had waved a wand and made my pants an inch an a half longer. He is also altering a tie for me, something two other tailors in town told me they would not do. Additionally, he charges what seems to me to be very little for individual, painstaking, time consuming work. Plus he was nice to my kid! I would recommend him to anyone. read more

mario is wonderful. he's a both a great tailor & a great human being. i'm so glad i found him.

Excellent professional service. I was in Tucson for a wedding and my pant suit needed tailoring 911 with only a 4 hour period till the wedding. I found Mr. Mario on the internet. Let me mentioned I had just flown in from El Salvador from my vacation trip less than 24 hours into Tucson for this wedding. I actually live in California originally. This wedding was super important and I needed this outfit fixed ASAP and professionally! Mario was amazing I got in he accommodated his schedule of workload to Help me out. The work was done AMAZINGLY in 35 minutes while I waited. The BEST part was the excellent conversation and he too lived in California prior to moving to Tucson. I highly recommend Mario #1 Adventurer Traveler Patty read more

MARIO is a nice, calm decent guy... BUT SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO BE CAREFUL FROM "NICE CALM GUY" because that how they can get you. I called him ahead of time and asked him how much to hem a pair of jeans? He said, "I charge $15 and it will look the same like original" I called other tailoring places and their prices are $9 regular hemming, and "Back to Original" $15. So I assumed that since Mario is charging $15 it is "Back to original" like what he claimed. I went to his hidden tailoring shop and showed him my jeans. When he saw it he said. "Oh this is more expensive it's $18 and it will look almost the same as original hem" I guess he knows the brand "TRUE RELIGION" well if a person can pay for a $300 pair of jeans, what's the extra $3 from what he said "back to original hemming" it should be nothing at all... So when I asked him about the stitches, the trade mark of True Religion jeans. He said, "No... No I can't do that it takes time..." Well isn't that's the reason why I am paying extra $3 compared from his competitive? He is a SWEET TALKER... I think he's been in the business for a while and he knows how to get away with it. It's my fault also though... I should've shopped around first and brought my jeans if they can really hem in bringing back the original style. Now... Because he is a sweet talker, calm and nice guy, he can get your feelings that he will trust you and will go ahead not knowing if you will get what you really want. The service you are paying... Then I came back and guess what? I got the REGULAR HEMMING, the hemming his competitor can do for $9! Now I end up with a MESSED UP $300 jeans that how I wish I should've not brought in his shop and paid $28 for it! Now... I will go to Walmart to buy the white thread and a big needle to do the trademark design of True Religion. I guess Mario doesn't have time to do it. I KNOW HE IS A HARD WORKING MAN WHO ALSO JUST WANTS TO PAY HIS BILLS. BUT I AM A CUSTOMER WHO HAVE THE RIGHTS TO SHOW THE SERVICE I RECEIVED AND IF I AM HAPPY WITH IT... AND I AM NOT!!!! $300 PAIR OF JEANS RUINED! read more

Mario's Tailors - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

See all

Hands-down, the best tailor in town. Very experienced he's got a sewing machine that's over 100 years old.

Mario checks all the boxes when it comes to customer service. He has always been able to help me in short notice for repair's or alterations. The quality of work is absolutely excellent and he is very friendly and professional. And most of all, you get great service, amazing quality work, and reasonable pricing!!! I highly recommend, best tailor I have been too. read more

Went to drop off my Gi to get tailored. Mario went above and beyond, made the stitching super nice and even moved one of the labels on the sleeve without being asked to. Super fast service, will go there for all my tailoring needs. read more

I have used Mario for years. He is excellent. He is fast and honest. Great local business.

Great experience! Called Mario on a Friday to ask if he works on raw/selvedge denim and was in his shop one hour later. I let him know I wanted the jeans sorter and he let me know he could do that no problem. I decided to ask if he could tighten up the calf area (which I had not told him about over the phone) and he replied "no problem". I could sense his confidence as I was asking for these requests and he replied as if he had done this thousands of times. I was in and out in about 5 minutes. I come back on Monday just 3 days after I dropped them off to find my jeans fit perfectly. Will definitely be returning. I was very happy with what I paid for his work but would be happy paying more considering how great his work is. read more

Mario is absolutely incredible. I needed some uniforms done ASAP and he got them done within a day and they came out perfect. I highly recommend him for any tailoring you need done! read more

My go to tailor! Always fast and reasonably priced. Mario is a super nice guy and I'm always happy with my clothes!

I came to Mario's to get some pants hemmed and it only took 24 hours for him to get the job done! So efficient with the time and responsive when I communicated! The pants look amazing I am definitely returning with any other needs! read more

I had a VERY important job interview at noon on a Monday (I know all interviews are important but this one is with the highest level person at this large and influential organization). I had a new suit that I wanted to wear and the (lined) pants needed to be hemmed. I was stressing about it ALL weekend - bought a sewing kit, bought stitch witchery, posted on facebook for a tailor, tried everything I could think of. On Monday, I called Mario at 7a - he answered the phone promptly and said he could do the pants but I needed to get there quickly. I threw the kid and the pants in the car and headed over. Mario was fantastic. Very small shop that was a little hard to find but not impossible. I was in and out within 7 minutes (including him pinning the hem). He charged me $15 - cash only - which was an amazing deal for such a rush job. I know that if I had gone somewhere else, there would have been so many rush fees tacked on the price could have been ludicrous. Someone else really could have gouged me because I was desperate to get these pants done. Mario called me about an hour and a half after I dropped them off and told me the pants were ready-to-wear. This was the most painless experience I've ever had with a tailor. I'm so beyond satisfied with his work that I'll be taking all of my alterations to Mario from now on. And I'll be telling everyone I know about my experience with Mario. HE'S FANTASTIC!! read more

I've been looking for a tailor in Tucson since I moved here 3 years ago. Last week, Mario The Tailor popped up on my google search and I figured I would check it out. I went to Schaffer right before finding Mario's, and they told me they don't have a tailor on site (boo) and that I needed to bring in my own measurements (red flag). So, I obviously didn't use them. I had to give Mario a call to find his business location because his suite number wasn't listed on Google. He answered the phone right away and gave me directions. When I came in, I saw the office was very tiny. Just room for one sewing machine and a little fitting area in the back. Mario told me he has been working as a tailor here for 17 years, giving me faith in his abilities. I brought in a dress to be repaired and hemmed. I wasn't in a rush, so I told him I would need it in a week. Since it's only him, I wouldn't recommend bringing in anything that is a rush order. I just picked up my dress and the length is perfect. The repairs were done so well, it looks like nothing every happened to the dress. The cost for my repair and hem was $25, and he only accepts cash. I will definitely be using Mario The Tailor in the future. read more

I dropped off a pair of dress pants to be hemmed on Monday and paid $12. On Tuesday I picked them up and discovered that one pant leg was longer than the other. On Wednesday I returned to the store to ask Mario about the leg length difference. Mario studied the pants and discovered the legs in fact weren't the same length. I left the pants with Mario and returned on Thursday to get them. Now both pant legs look great! I asked Mario while I was in the store on Thursday if I could pay him for the extra effort required to get these pants hemmed correctly and he refused. Suspecting he was just being nice, I asked one final time and he responded right away that I should pay him $8. When you add it up three trips to the tailor and $20 is a small price to pay for pants hemmed properly. In summary, Mario is fast, affordable, and high quality. Thanks Mario! read more

10/15/16 edit: suit perfection has been achieved! So far so good! Really nice guy, super professional, very accommodating and knowledgeable. I think he will make my fiancées suit perfect for our wedding day- will update soon! read more

Got a pair of raw selvedge denim that wasn't as slim as I wanted down the leg. I was afraid to take it to a tailor because I've heard horror stories of tailors ruining the selvedge when they taper it. Mario, however, is an expert, and did an absolutely perfect job tapering them. He's a very polite man and finished 3 of my pants in a week (he asked when I needed them, but I said to take his time.) Look no further, you can trust Mario with your clothes. read more

GREAT place! I highly recommend this tailor shop. I came in to see Mario as a last resort after my military service uniform had been incorrectly tailored by another place. I had an event the day that I brought my skirt in, and he still spent quality time re-hemming and aligning it. In addition, he was very kind despite the fact I pushed back some of his other work. He gave me back a beautifully tailored and professional looking skirt... with time to spare before my event. Wonderful man, wonderful service! read more

Mario was absolutely phenomenal! I read about him on Yelp! and decided to give him a try. I could not have been happier. Not only did he understand exactly what I wanted we, but he listened to every detail and every word. And he made it happen. I am not an easy person to please, especially when it comes to close, and after Mario's, I was absolutely ecstatic! He knows what he's doing. He cared, he listened and he did a beautiful job. read more

Of course the week I decided to pack light, a button flies off my skirt. This wouldn't normally bother me, as I am an expert ninja with a safety pin... - however, when I tore the pleat, I thought I should give in like a busy millennial adult. So I frantically yelped a tailor and gave Mario a call. I explained my predicament and how I ONLY brought one skirt and he fixed it right up. He promised it would be done end of day and he had it ready by lunch. He's so meticulous and quick. A heads up: Mario is CASH ONLY. I expected this to be about $8 at most and it was a bit more but to have the job done right the first time is worth the extra couple of bucks! AND HEY, TUCSON! Mario is open Saturdays! read more

Mario does incredible work! I've gotten pants fixed and now a bridesmaid dress and it looks great. Thank you Mario!

I highly recommend going to Mario for your tailoring needs. I had come to him with two coats and a pair of pants, with the requirement of needing them back in less than a week. Not only did Mario ensure that my suit was tailored in time for my interview that week, but he did a FANTASTIC job tailoring my suit and it fits better than I could have expected. I was incredibly happy with my experience, and will definitely be going back to him the next time I need a tailor! read more

Mario is kind, professional, prompt and he even has a great sense of humor. I will definitely be back!

He does a good job. However, at $17 to hem a pair of pants That is way over price! Workmanship is good and delivery as promised but the cost is too much. By the way he only takes cash. read more

Mario does awesome work at a low price. Took 3 old pairs of jeans to him to fix wear and tear and he made them look like new. Also, I took an additional pair to get them shortened since they where a little bit too long for me and they came out looking like they where never altered and at the perfect length. Highly recommend. read more

Mario is a great tailor with over 30 years of experience. His pricing is super reasonable. I recommend Mario's Tailors to any man needing alterations to his suits, pants, and coats. read more

Very expensive tailor.. $15-20 per pant to get tailored, Mario does a good job but it was too expensive for my taste. Will probably go elsewhere for alternations in the future. read more

This place is a small building but it is close to the UofA which is convenient. It cost me 12 dollars to get my jeans hemmed here, the guy only accepts cash. After he hemmed it my jeans did seem a little shorter than what he initially pinned it but it's not too bad. Overall, I don't know if I would take my nicer clothes here to get them fitted but the place is decent. read more

Mario's Tailors - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

I went to this tailor because it's so damn close to home but I will keep returning because of the quality of the work. Mario is a great tailor who's also fast and cheap. His little office is hard to find at first as it's within a big strip mall but nothing a couple of minutes of wandering won't fix. He's also a total sweetheart. Highly recommended but bring cash! read more

I took my out-of-the-box bonobos blazer in to be tailored. In 24 hours, he had it ready and it fits like it's made for me, which is of course what a tailor should do! He not only did the basic, which is alter the sleeves, but he tapered the sides, which is what really makes a blazer look like it suits me, pun intended. It is now a blazer I feel proud to wear and feel comfortable in, thanks to him. Mario is THE guy, so he answers the phone, marks and pins you and does the work. There's no handing off to another. The shopping complex he is in is easy to find, you just have to walk around a little to find his office number. I certainly had no trouble getting to the complex, as it is centrally located. For a one-man operation, I wouldn't expect his shop to be large, or have much more than a sewing table and dressing room, which he has. I will say that because he takes the time to really custom fit you, that I would definitely take my finer things here, suits and blazers, since he will do the tapering part, the most time-consuming and what gives your clothes that custom appearance. I have another blazer I haven't worn in some time because although it's the right size, I realize now it's not fit to me specifically; so I'm going to also take this to him. Good tailoring is the answer, and he's the guy! read more

I needed a hem for a dress a little last minute. Mario said he could have it ready the next day and charged me $35. He did an awesome job and I am really happy with it! It was not the cheapest hem I have ever paid for, however, he did such a great job with it and under short notice. Definitely recommend! read more

Mario was terrific. He made my $100 suit look like $1000. He's very accommodating, very skilled, and he's such a nice guy. Works incredibly hard. I plan on bringing more to him in the future. Support local business; go to Mario! read more
