Mario's is one of the oldest dining rooms on Tomas Morato. Mario and Nenuca Benitez opened the first Mario's in Baguio in 1971, and the Quezon City branch opened on Tomas Morato in November 1981.

The menu is continental with Spanish and Filipino dishes beside it, from pancit luglug to a lamb paella made with New Zealand lamb. It is the kind of place families book for a birthday or an anniversary, and it still takes events and catering.
