A nice little restaurant, I would recommend this brunch spot to anyone looking for some classic breakfast staples. The service was pleasant and friendly albeit slow, and the atmosphere was unremarkable. They do have a decent amount of outdoor seating in addition to indoor tables. The corned beef hash was delicious, although a bit heavy on the chunky taters. Portions were generous, selection was broad, and though nothing really stood out, it was a good dining experience. Overall a solid B- grade.

My boyfriend and I spotted in here because it was close by and we were hungry. He got Mariah’s omelette and home fries. It was yummy! He ate it so quickly! He also upgraded to French toast instead of toast. The French toast was so good! It had a great sweet flavor! I got the Philly cheesesteak! Although it wasn’t a “Philly” cheesesteak it was delicious! It hit the spot! (I’m very critical of Philly cheesesteaks.) We would definitely go back again and I might even get the cheesesteak again!

This was my first time going here, and I loved it!! Their food it’s really good and fresh. Lots of healthy options to eat. They have a little cute patio where you can eat and the employees are super friendly and attentive!! 🙂

Tasty food at great prices and friendly service. I’ve been here twice and loved the experience both times. There’s a family feel to this place though I don’t think the staff is related? Highly recommend if you’re looking for a brunch spot in San Marcos that isn’t overpriced and pretentious. For those wondering, yes they do serve beer, bloody marys and mimosas.

Came here for a work lunch after 5 years of driving past this restaurant. I ordered the Deli Melt with fries (Vienna Corned Beef, Turkey Breast, Swiss and American Cheese, Tomato and Russian Dressing on Rye) and with a side of Potato Salad. The fries were amazing dipped with ranch, the sandwich was good as well as the Potato Salad.

This place was delicious. My buddy and myself got the club and the Ruben. Ice water with lemons. Sandwiches were on point and big. Fries were seasoned and crispy delicious.

I’ve been to Mariah’s before and wanted to like it again, but unfortunately, this visit confirmed that the quality has declined significantly.
The food is marginal at best. The meats are cheap and fatty, and the once-popular corned beef hash is now dry and poorly composed—large, bland chunks of potato, a few onions, and dry bits of corned beef. There’s no real recipe or thought behind it, though I’ll give credit for it at least being homemade in the past. Now, they’ve switched to Vienna-brand thin-sliced corned beef with a strong salt and vinegar aftertaste, which was disappointing.
Our food arrived lukewarm, suggesting it had been sitting before being served. For a $30 meal, that’s simply not acceptable. Adding to the frustration, they’ve cut corners by replacing butter with margarine and switching to coconut oil across the board, while simultaneously raising prices. The result is paying more for a noticeably lower-quality experience.
To be fair, the service was friendly and well-intentioned, and the restaurant manages its busy flow of customers efficiently. The food is plated nicely, and the atmosphere is still inviting. But none of that can make up for the steep drop in food quality.
Mariah’s used to be one of the best breakfast spots in North County, but not anymore. I won’t be going back.

This is such a great little breakfast and lunch spot. I’ve had so much on the menu and I’ve never had a bad meal. Between all the eggs Benedict options and the classics, there’s so much to choose from!
French toast, Benedict Florentine, Tuna melt are a few of my favorites. They also have lots of specialty coffee drinks.
This time of year it’s a real treat to be able to sit on the nice patio outside and soak in the sunshine

Place was amazing, live in the area and went for the first time on a Sunday morning, we got right in and could choose inside or outside seating. Everything we got was delicious, and the service was great. Will definitely be going back.
