Editorial Review for Mario's Peruvian & Seafood – by Citysearch Editors

In Short
Tucked in a tiny Hollywood mini-mall, Mario's buzzes with fish fans. The stripped-down interior won't win any design awards, but autographed photos from Latin celebs attest to the joint's popularity. Peruvian seafood cooking relies on super-fresh ingredients, and the interplay between hot and sour flavors. Mario's offers a shrimp seviche offset by boiled potatoes, and green mussels on the half shell are piled high with pungent fresh salsa.

I've only gone to Mario's once, but I just can't stop talking about it. Great taste, huge servings at a very reasonable price. Their fries are delicious. I highly recommend the ceviche, which has boiled eggs and gives it a unique taste. I parked a couple of blocks away and then walked there. The parking is horrible, and the decoration is very poor. But if you're looking for good food and nothing more. This is it. It only took one time, and Mario's became one of my favorite restaurants in LA.

Pros: food, cost, huge servings

Cons: parking, long wait, not very pretty
