This was my first time to this market. I saw it on IG but after attempting to visit a couple other restaurants I remembered this place and I'm so glad I did. We decided to go there so we could grab food and get back on to theMy family and I ordered catfish, chicken, pork chops, peach cobbler and a variety of sides. This place is reminiscent of the markets I've visited when I visit my family in Louisiana. They even sell all of the boudin, sausage and other Louisiana delicacies that I stock up when I go there to visit. The staff at the service counter and cashier were such kind and helpful people. It was refreshing. And the ambiance just made me feel at home. We intend to stop back through there on our next trip back through Vegas. Nice to know that I can get some of my Louisian favorites a little closer to home.
Can't wait to get back to Vegas because I just feel in love with the spot for fast food great food! I was a little hesitant to drive over, about thirty minutes from our hotel, but absolutely no regrets when I got back to my table with the goods. Best Fried Catfish! Sweet Potatoes, Mac and Cheese ,Collard Greens and corn muffins. Perfect I could lick the containers of every side order. The service was ok but the entertainment of listening to the baby mama drama of the young man serving food was the best part of waiting. He even asked what we thought of the situation, I loved it! First stop on my next visit to Vegas.
I haven't been to this place in over 15 years. I was working in the area, and was excited to get some food. I got the catfish plate, mac and cheese and hush puppies. It also came with a soda. Service was good, I got my plate expecting to take it home, and do my magic. The catfish was good, but it was better once I got it home, and added my homemade tarter sauce, hot sauce and a green onion! Ohhhh heck yea! the catfish was on point. I didn't care for the mac and cheese at all and the hush puppies were just ok. If I'm ever in the area again, I would definitely pick up some catfish only! lol
This place comes highly recommended if you love fish fry. This place is located on the southeast corner of MLK and Lake Mead. You know a place is good when there's a long line and they have that line stanchioned off. The line went by quickly. We ordered 2 pounds of fried fish for four people. It was perfectly breaded and full of flavor. No need for hot sauce or tartar sauce, unless you love sauce.. it was perfect the way it is. I had their bread pudding, and it was just okay. I was disappointed that they ran out of banana pudding. Overall, we came for the fish fry, and I'd like to come back to pick some up again and try other things.
I have been wanting to check out Mario's supermarket upgraded market. When you walk in they have a small liquor store. Several cashiers lane. The cooked food is at the back. It's like a neighborhood market quick shop came here to get some fried catfish and fish steaks. I got the combo for $13 plus tax. The catfish used to be a big wide size but now it's so skinny. You got 3 items plus 2 sides which I picked. Yams were alright and mac and cheese which was a little salty and a can of soda. I'm so happy that they sell tahitian treat soda!!! Yes , they have it! I am also surprised to see a full fridge full of blue bell ice cream too! The new store is much better than the old one. It is clean and organized. They have pretty much everything you need for a quick shop. Produce, bakery, and fresh and frozen meat and poultry. The workers are friendly. The parking is good, they have plenty! Check them out and see for yourself
4 stars to Mario and this new location!! The other was so cramped it was nice to have some room! 5 stars for variety, he had so many things you can't find on this side of the country, things I only see visiting family back east and in the south. Nice variety of produce, sauces, literally a one stop shop. There are a limited amount of Organics but I know that's not why people are shopping here. We got fish cooked at the old location, but did more of a tour here. I will say that some things are kind of high, we're label readers now and love pork cracklins, found some that we were ok with, had two bags in hand and a $5 (they weren't marked) but they were $3.89/bag! We just got one lol. UPDATE: Went to try said cracklins and they expired today!! Because of this I had to make it 4 stars. But I consider this a specialty type store and sometimes you pay more in those places. Takes nothing away from the establishment. Our cashier was cute, I complimented her Vans matching her Mario's shirt and she was telling me her fashion philosophy. I love the greens growing in the doorway, and the selection of black/local mags. They had a markdown table as well. If you're in the area, stop by!!
