Mario's WestSide Market

This store has been a Westside staple for years. I'm proud of their growth over the years. The catfish is good but not as good as it use to be back in the day. The service the last times has been bad particularly the Black lady who works at the register in the back. Hopefully the service improves.

I love the atmosphere and I love the food but I avoid the store at all costs especially after today! never fails every time I go to the store I literally get about three people asking for something whether it's donation, whether it's asking them too buy them something to eat, whether it's them selling something! Or even donation just because they asked smh like they really need to fix that, while waiting in line I had someone ask me to pay for their plate of food, well in line checking out in the front I had someone ask me to buy them some ice because they wouldn't have enough after buying a Swisher sleeve and something to drink and the cashier didn't say anything! l be trying to support my people but I can no longer go to the store. Too much begging for me! Updated to one star from 3 because the plate that they gave me Lord have mercy my teenager could have cooked it better The fish is very gummy The macaroni cheese is nasty The greens taste like they came from out of a can with no seasoning no nothing on it gave me a drink with no ice the yellow drink that's located in the back with no fork nor hot sauce and I paid for a hot link and didnt receive that. Very sad case most definitely will be my last time.

This market has long been a beloved destination for the local community. For years, shoppers have relied on this store for their grocery needs. Many appreciate the friendly atmosphere and commitment to quality products. And of course, no trip is complete without trying their famous fried fish! It's no wonder this market remains a neighborhood favorite. - Coyal

UPDATED REVIEW….. MARIO’S FISH IS BACK!!!!!! ALL OF THE WORKERS OR EPIC WITH NO ATTITUDES AT ALL! I’M LOVING THE ATMOSPHERE AGAIN… The catfish ends/tails or bomb 🔥 . Wish they sold them online for delivery. Website doesn’t keep menu updated enough. The catfish tails will stay sold out online. The catfish steak or deliciousness and on website. The swai or whiting filet fish that some calls catfish fillets isn’t so tasty when you want real catfish filet. Also wish they cooked buffalo hard side, catfish fillets ,or whole catfish 🤤 that would be awesomeness! You can buy catfish frozen and take home to cook yourself although 👌🏼. Hopefully they get 1 of the kiddos to run their website and keep it updated monthly. It would really pull in more delivery revenue for sure 💯 My last wish with my wishing 👀 you know what 😂 IS THEY LEARN TO CUT THE BUFFALO FISH ‘RIB STYLE’ 🙏🏼. IT’S UNBELIEVABLY AMAZING & SELLS FOR $13.99 LB (uncooked) IN THE MIDWEST. All AGES can enjoy it also. I’ve been here 15yrs ,so I have visiting family freeze it 2 days prior flight day and bring it on plane inside cooler bag that way it stay frozen until I get it. If I go visit I pay for an extra luggage and bring the entire 40 lbs of buffalo rib & whole jack fish back under plane frozen. That’s how good it is!!! A MUST TRY……

Still very good food but something seem a little different about this spot maybe because they moved next door don’t get me wrong. You will get some pretty good food a drink just that the portions where different. But hay all in all you will get some good food‼️

I like going to Mario's. They sell a lot of food products from the south; and they also sell my favorite Louisiana hot sauce🔥. I tried the dirty rice, and fish and Mac and cheese 🧀 and collard greens. The fish was Hella good! The dirty rice was also hella good! I also found a roux for gumbo from Louisiana, which was great! The only thing I didn't like on this visit was being approached by an OG asking how I was paying for my stuff, I think he wanted money or something, idk. I was on the phone when he was speaking to me.But Mario's new store is really nice and they have more fruits and vegetables now for sale. I almost forgot the hot link was on point also! I will be back soon.

Usually don’t have any issues showing here, experience old packaged chicken wings. When I opened the pack it was slimey/ smelled bad. First bad experience while shopping at the store. I recommend that you all tighten up on making sure you are serving the public fresh raw meat. The next person may not be as generous as I am.

I found this gem while searching for hog head cheese. I live an hour away (Pahrump), My Wife and decided to make the trip. Glad we did. Not only did they have what I was looking for, they had other meats my Wife had been searching for as well. And on top of that the staff that helped us was extremely friendly. This is a great place and we will definitely be back!!

excellent..wont be disappointed...get what you paid for! love everything they have to offer..if you like good home style soul food as i say, this is the spot!

We came on Mother's Day for the catfish family meal which includes three pounds of catfish, two sides, and a two liter of soda. Service was great and the workers are attentive, kind, and fast. Located on MLK and Lake Mead, this location is easy to get to as it is pretty much right off the freeway. Love their catfish, and I have been coming for years. It is very delicately seasoned, yet still has great flavor. Perfect crispy and tender at the same time makes for the perfect bite of fish every time. Don't sleep on the yams and greens, however, they are exceptional as well. Catfish family meal will set you back $40, which is a steal!

I have been here on several occasions over the past few years and the place just doesn't impress me. Lately, I have been giving old places a new try so went here a few days ago... I'm still not impressed. I got the catfish dinner with double yams as the sides. I also got a small peach cobbler. I don't know what it is in Vegas, but most fish places here give you fish STRIPS as opposed to actual fish FILETS. The strips were small, salty and much else to offer as far as flavor. The peach cobbler tasted like it came out of a box. There wasn't much of a line so service was pretty quick. It's a counter in the back of a store so there isn't any ambiance to speak of inside. Outside there are several homeless people asking for change.

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.

Good food, good service. Fast drive through. I Got catfish, okra, and macncheese. The fish was crispy which I love. The building is big. I haven't been inside but I want to now. Good sized menu. Will be back for sure

Terrible drive thru service Gave me an attitude as soon as I started ordering super impatient with me. Talking to me like I'm an idiot when she couldn't even take a simple order. Place is trash

This review will be a brutally honest, historically accurate, play by play walk-through of my experience at Mario's market. When we pulled up and got out the car to enter the establishment, there was about two homeless people loitering out front, which isn't a complaint just a fact/ simple observation. I was actually planning on spotting them some cash on my way out once I complete my transaction inside. The purpose of my visit was specifically to try their catfish and a few sides. The hot food that they serve is located literally at the back of the store so you have to walk through the grocery store in it's entirety. Due to my field of work it is a occupational habit for me to pay attention to details so my default setting is to be vigilant. And what I noticed was literally every single employee on shift during my visit was African-American. I serendipitously/coincidentally was wearing my Martin Luther King Jr. hoodie with the picture of MLK himself on the front and the I have a dream speech printed on the back. I was in a great mood and had positive vibes all day so I immediately thought to myself and even told the fam "look at our good Black people hard at work, making this money" with 100% pride in my voice while saying it. Once we made it to the back to place our order we were approached by a seemingly unapproachable woman who had one of the worst RBR's (Resting B**** face) that I've ever had the displeasure of seeing, take our order. Her demeanor and attitude was disgustingly unpleasant and unprofessional. The employee to the left of her was a 20 or 30 something year old dude bumping that new kendrick Lamar, which is a certified banger!, but that's a whole nother story. Filling the music... I understand. My issue was with the fact that the dude was dancing and throwing up gang signs while on the clock. How do I know?, you might ask. Well, after being born & raised in L.A. you know what gang signs look like... facts! With this one I'm not even gonna state the obvious. Whoever is reading this review, you be the judge? Is that super professional or super unprofessional. To the right of the unpleasant woman who took our order was a different male employee arguing back-and-forth with a female customer. Again, you be the judge. Is that highly professional or highly unprofessional? Once the food was packaged, we were instructed to head upfront to pay for it at one of the registers. The cashier rung my order up and instead of handing me my change she had the gall to ask me, can she keep my change? Not donate my change, but can she herself keep my change. I originally thought she was joking, but she was deadly serious. She caught me off guard so I really didn't initially know how to respond. I was going to say no, but then quickly thought if she needs the money that bad to the point where she's gotta panhandle while on the clock, then she can have it. So I said "OK, keep it I guess". I was so thrown off and perplexed by her unusual request that I completely forgot to do the good deed that I originally planned to do which was help the homeless person standing in front of the store. Instead, I told the fam "damn, I don't think we're ever coming back here" then got in the car and left. The food actually was pretty good and deserves a 4 star. The customer service however, was completely and utterly garbage and truly deserves a 1-2 star, but I generously gave them a 3 star. It should be painfully obvious at this point, but I stand by my previous statement and feel inclined to reiterate that I will definitely not be returning to this establishment.

I was not too impressed with the food. They gave you lots of it. But its presentation was an issue for me. The fish was very bland, just fish and little dry. The side were seasoned but just too much going on. You also get kool aid with the fish special.

I hate they haven't sold one of my favorite buffalo fishfor years now. Now I have go to Tony's Seafood & Deli site to try having them ship me a box front Louisiana

I've been to this establishment multiple times, usually to purchase grocery items. This time I brung some of my co workers ( State Employees) over on our lunch break after raving to them about the food. I was immediately disappointed being them, customer service at the drive through was horrible, felt rushed and not heard. I asked what drinks do they have and her response was ... Do you want Lemonade? I was not impressed this time around with anything I had. I will return but not purchase food.

This is 2 out of 3 of the catfish pieces. It's a NO for me! Catfish was bland and there was hardly any of it. The red beans tasted like chili so I wasn't a fan. Mac and cheese was probably good because my son ate all of it, but definitely not worth 13.99.

Fried Catfish was Chewy, Luke Warm and didn't taste like Catfish. First visit was impressive. Second visit I received the fish that had sat longer than it should have. Third visit downhill. Yesterday was TERRIBLE. I actually left about two thirds on the order on the dumpster with hopes that someone would find it and enjoy it more than I did. That was my last visit. Too far and pricing seemingly out of bound considering today's budget. Next time I'll simply go to Jack in the Box for 2 Tacos at $1.97. Never disappoints! Regret not taking photos of the fish on the dumpster. Unimpressive.

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

Ordered catfish , steak fries, mac and cheese, dirty rice , cornbread and hot links . The catfish needed more flavor and cornbread was dry but all the rest was delicious would happily go back it's worth the long drive. Service was fast and they were friendly

This is not it food is blend wouldn't waste my time nor money again yams and Mac and cheese u would have thought a 7 year old made it . Try taste budz on Decatur better taste fresh food

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!!

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.

The food at Mario's market is horrible why would they serve chicken like that it's hard to eat. The workers behind the hot food deli and the meat deli have very nasty attitudes. On a scale from one to ten I rate this chicken a one it's just that horrible and the mac and cheese is boxed mac and cheese my daughter said that pan fish was under seasoned. Mario your employees needs attitude adjustment the food there use to be good but now it's gone to the pits of hell. Ambiance there isn't any ambience there at all. I really don't think the owner looks on yelp about his store he probably doesn't even care just as long he's making money in the black community.

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

This is a fun spot.I highly recommend you go early in the day so that you can get your choice of items.They sell out quick of the good stuff

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 visited this Market since I was told they sold whiting fish. This was a huge deal for me. As a native New Yorker living in Vegas for the last ten years I hadn't encountered anyone who had ever heard of this fish until now. I visited Mario's and was surprised to find that it was a supermarket with a nice fish and meat market in the back of the store. In addition there was a hot food section where workers sold cooked swai, catfish, chicken tenders, pork chops and an array of sides. I had to purchase my whiting from the fish market and the chefs cooked it up for me. They did the same for someone who wanted red snapper. The market was clean, everyone was friendly and the staff I worked with were very accommodating. While I didn't care too much for the seasoning or batter used for my fish, I would definitely go back to buy more fish and prepare it myself using my own spices.

BEWARE! The catfish has bone annoying little bones that take away from an awesome fry

I was in the mood for fried fish and drove from Henderson. The fish was very dry. Not good at all. Very disappointed.

I remember about five years ago, I stopped at this place me and my husband got a plate food. The food was not good at all. so today on 6/23 I decided since they moved their location we would drive through the drive-through and order a plate again and the lady in the intercom was rude. She said hello she screamed it. I could not believe it ,so I drove off and I was wondering why the person in front of me did that same exact thing now I know why,you cannot have people working for you that behave like that, it makes people not wanna go back. You gotta be very picky on who you hire it is bad business.

This review is about their food hall section. Not for the grocery/market department. Not sure why people keep recommend this place. I tried their chicken, fried fish and their rib. Fish was just mid, kind of over fried IMO. $14/lb. Chicken was horrible. Some weird watery sauce like they boiled the chicken (1/4 leg piece) in some water and bbq sauce. I was charged $6.35 for the 1/4 leg piece, I asked the lady nicely that their sign said 1/4 piece is $2.79 and she gave me a condescending tone and said the "sauce" made it a $6.99/lb deal. Rib was just ok. Again taste like boiled meat with water and bbq sauce. $6.99/lbs. I was a bit upset with their service so I didn't bother try any of their sides.

They are selling SWAI FISH AS CATFISH!!! SWAI IS NOT CATFISH. It is I. The catfish family but it is a totally different taste texture and look. I was so disappointed after thinking I was going to get catfish

Food is bomb (5/5 for the food no doubt). The catfish was cooked perfectly and the green beans were my favorite side. I recommend eating it fresh while it's still hot. 2 stars off because location is not so great- lots of homeless people nearby. The food is served in the very back left side of the market. The food was so good I would definitely come back but I wouldn't come here alone.

When I come home to Vegas, I prefer to patronize only soul food restaurants.In December 2024, on the way to Frenont Street/Hotel, I decided to treat my Aunt to Mario's. We had our suitcases,& security,staff treated us like criminals.I told the staff I was from Cali and my aunt lives in Summerlin;the Beverly Hills of NV &were on our way to the hotel. Then there was a long line for service. The fish was fresh off the grill & ,purchased some doughnuts which were completely stale.the Mac cheese,greens, yams weren't made with no soul.However, if you're craving for good fish, Mario's is excellent for just that!

Given that they have opened their new location, a new review is in order. The new home is still in that same parking lot, just in the building that used to be CVS? Walgreens? Whichever it gives the space and cleanliness they deserve. Catfish is great as always and I tried the pork chops for the first time. Melted in my mouth like butter. I would love to see them offer sides of gravy for the pork chop though. I would pay for it for sure. If you go, the honey bun cake is the most dangerous thing in the store. I bought one and made another 40 minute drive back over the same day to get another. So stupid good.

Guyssss I really wanted to like this place but unfortunately I can't even lie on this review right now. First let me start off by saying the grocery, the service the workers or always pleasant and the store is kept clean, that was not my issue!! Now I've been hearing about Mario's from my bf family who lives on that side forever! Of course my phone overheard the convos and I was flooded with videos on IG about this place so I was determined to try their catfish! A few times we tried they would be SOLD OUT or low on food so I just knew my persistence was warranted and I had to try this food. We were finally able to get some the other night and when I tell you, this food was sooooo SALTY. Like I enjoy a lil salt now, it brings out the flavor and I'm known to put it on my fruit, my eggs, etc, but I could not even enjoy the meal at the rate I was drinking water to get the salt taste out of my mouth. We got the greens, the mac and cheese, the greens beans and about $28 worth of fish!! The fish was okay, a lil dry but I liked that they gave you a big portion and pieces were like small slithers so there was plenty to share and consume. The greens tho were extremely salty. I even tried everything again the next day separately to give it a fair account. The mac and cheese wasn't bad but also didn't have any like flavor to it necessarily other than cheesy but super salty on everything else. Maybe it was just a heavy handed day for whoever worked 2/6/24.

The deli area is in the backs left side of the store. It's clean and has the ropes established for orderly line to order. Staff were nice and helpful. I got a combo meal and added hushpuppy to my order. Price is super cheap and I was looking forward to this lunch. Unfortunately I am not a fan.. I know this place has a cult following that's why I wanted to give it a try. The cat fish is good and tender but it seems that everything was cooked in the fish fry oil and it was just too much. It's just not for me

Beware!! Website advertises a Special Meal Deal at $34.95. Surprise!! When u get there, order and go to pay it's $39.95. When u ask about the $5 difference, you're told that no one updates the website and you can go complain to Mario. Great customer service? The "catfish", or whatever it is, is so thin it actually curls up when fried. The sides are advertised to be 1 quart and are half that amount. Shame on you, Mario's. NOPE!! I just won't ever go back. First and last time for me.

Nice place to buy authentic soul food, also a great grocery outlet for shopping and supplies for family members who love Soul Foods.

Love the fish steak there and with the hot sauce on it . It don't miss ! The Mac & cheese and spaghetti good too! Service was good there !

If you are looking for Southern cooking, this is the place for you. It also has a decent size grocery store, so you can kill two birds with one stone. The staff is friendly and treats you like you know them. The store and food line are clean and well maintained. We ordered the fish filets with hush puppies and sweet potato casserole. The fish was still hit when we got back to the hotel. I was also introduced to Mario's cayenne pepper sauce. That stuff should be available in a bottle in addition to the packets. It would be flying off the shelves. This was a pleasant change from my normal Las Vegas vacation food. Would come here again when I am back in town.

Great food, wonderful people in the service area and friendly staff. I highly recommend this place especially for catfish lovers!!!!

Everything about Mario's is great! I started going when I moved here about 10 years ago. The food is amazing! The employees are always available and willing to help you! And the energy and vibe makes you feel at home! It's very welcoming! I love this place!

My food is always great. I love shopping here! The service is always amazing and they have great deals. The ambiance is always so bright and lively with great music playing.

poor customer service , no welcome . everything was all over the place hard to find . frozen meat worker said "idk why people ask him for help" love the options but not good customer service no help at all !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! cashier was more worried about talking to the associate in the bear and wine section that she fought to scan some of our items. HIRE NEW STAFF .

Excellent restaurant, fast, friendly, and professional. They have a hot food section. I would come back here again I would recommend this to others. A+

I give up on Mario's. My total was $77 for the family fish meal, four tails and a burnt up hot link. The fried okra was so hard and cremated. Un-chewable !!! A few pieces of the fish was ok. But it wasn't anything worth buying again. The quality has gone in the garage since the first couple times I came over two years ago. Do not waste your money

Good fried fish in the city of Las Vegas is almost nonexistent so when I heard about Mario's Westside market I decided to give it a try. Located in a shopping center, Mario's is a little hole in the wall convenience market. When you walk into the right is all of the liquor. Going further into the store there are shelves and meat cases but it appears the star of the show is their deli which this fish is located. It was super late in the day so they only had a few items and it appeared to be sitting out in the pans for a while. An old man asked for some steak and he was told that they ran out. There were a few fish pieces so I grabbed about a pound and a half to take home. It was just around $20 for 2 pounds. The market is not in the best area so be prepared if you are not used to that kind of thing. There was a register in the deli area but since they were close to closing I took everything up to the front counter. The fish was SUPER SALTY. I mean it seem like they took the entire can of seasoning salt and threw it into the cornmeal lol! The crunch taste and texture was there. It was just WAY too salty. I actually enjoyed the fish more the next day when I threw the entire pan back into the oven. I think this fish would have been good on a Poboy. I had it with some rice and gravy.

This market is located at Lakemead and MLK. I came here to check out what kind of prices they have on meats and to my surprise. They are fairly cheaper than other grocery stores. The store itself was really clean and well stocked. The meats and produce looked really good. The employees here though are not so friendly. Not one person smiling or offering to help you find what you need. They for sure need to work on customer service. Including the restaurant in the back. At the restaurant in the back I ordered the 3 filet dinner that came with 2 sides. 3 catfish filets. And a can of Shasta soda for $13.99 before tax. The catfish was so well stocked in the hot case I figured it was cause they just made some. NOPE. The catfish I got was cold. And hard. Obviously sat up there for sometime thinking they were gonna be extra busy or something. The flavor was good. But it wasn't fresh. Not even warm. For my sides I had the macaroni and green beans. The macaroni was obviously up there for a long while as well. And the green beans were good. But very salty. This place could be great. With a few things that could be worked on. Overall. I'd hit this place up for some meats. But as far as the restaurant part goes. I could do without.

Family 39.99 was over the moon!!!! Abundant of Fish which was excellent & seasoned to perfection. Greens made to sprinkle hot sauce on them.. yams not overly sweet. Mac n cheese a little too soft for my like in texture however the flavor was good. Variety of drinks were not impressive, Coke would have hit the spot! Gentleman that took our order at the drive- Thru was patient... lady at the pick up window was very nice. Haven't been inside .. maybe on the next trip. Wish I'd taken a pic of the box of fish AMAZING!!! Thank y'all overall impressive!

A new building with the same great hot food within a supermarket setting. I had a fried catfish dinner with mac & cheese and collard greens. Very good!

Family catfish meal was excellent. Worth the money and made fresh. We chose greens and fried okra. 3lbs of catfish 2 sides 6 pieces of cornbread and a 2 liter soda of choice.

Best Catfish in Las Vegas!!! With Red Beans and Rice, Scalloped Potatoes, & a Diet Shasta Grapefruit Soda!

Disappointed. Mac n cheese was gross, greenbeens tasteless, potatoes horrible. The only thing that was good was the koolaid. Not worth it. They definitely lost their touch.
