Super Marios

Yum! Finally tried this place. I’ll be honest, I don’t really know what defines Salvadorian food, but I’d been to the truck a long while ago and was curious about the restaurant. I had the veggie wonder burrito and boyfriend had the wonder burrito with the tongue meat. Mine was big with lots of flavor and lots of veggies. Carrots and broccoli seem like kind of strange additions to a burrito but it somehow tasted great! It was different and better than your average taco truck burrito. The restaurant itself is not anything special, it’s kind of small and lacking in décor. But the service was great! Very friendly people are running this place. We left full. I wanted to try the papusas so I’ll have to come back.

Really just ok. The food tasted ok. I didn’t know if you needed to order at the counter or if the cashier would come to you. When asked she said either was ok. The service was ok, everything in general was kinda meh.

Tacos = Awesome.
Wonder Burrito = Awesome.
Papusas = Awesome.
Super Mario’s is fairly priced, family-​owned and seriously delicious. Their pork taco plate is fantastic, and the wonder burrito is truly one of the best burritos in town. At their NW Ave. shop they have a bakery on-​side (which I have not yet tried) that has sweet and savory pastries. Their food truck is in an odd spot of downtown, near the Grocery Outlet, and it is open until 9pm on weeknights!

This place is crazy and unique and I love it! The food was different than what I expected, and it was perfect. I do not go here super often, but every time I do I am so happy I did! Great price, great food, and it’s a little out of the way so it is never busy! LOVE!

Fastest burrito I’ve ever had made for me, and by far one of the best in bellingham as well. Definitely reccommend.

Super Marios cooks excellent El Salvadorian food that is head and shoulders above any other taco truck in town.
The food is slow to come out, but worth every second. Super Mario’s papusas, and burritos are my go to, but the quesadillas are also excellent (and HUGE).
Friendly staff, and their brick and mortar restaurant is great too!

Is it weird that the service at the truck is better than the restaurant? Thats why I give it 4 and not 5. You can still get my favorite burrito in Bellingham here. Carne asada wonder. Refried beans fried to the tortilla and then filled with fresh veggies, and tender steak. Mouth orgasm.

Pupusas and beef tongue tacos in Bellingham??? YES.

Meh. We liked the bean and cheese pupusas, except one of them had the bean and cheese spilled out on the paper when it was served. The Wonder Burrito was nothing to write home about. Meh

Super Mario’s is my favorite burrito place in Bellingham. I have been there more times than I would like to admit, but not as much recently since I don’t live there anymore. I have pretty much only had Wonder Burritos there. After eating a Wonder Burrito, I can’t get myself to order anything else when I am there– they are so good. I have sampled some other menu items when my guests order them, but Super Mario’s is all about the Wonder Burrito. They have a few different sauces of varying spiciness to go with them: get a bottle of sauce in one hand and a burrito in the other and you are good to go. The baked goods and flan are also tasty and cheap. I dock one star because sometimes I get a burrito that is smaller /​not as good as usual, but that doesn’t happen too often.

Pupusas and guacamole. If you haven’t tried them together you should. The wonder burrito is legendary and the tacos are excellent. I’m not sure how Salvadorian tacos are different from Mexican ones. I can just tell you that they’re good.
I read the reviews of some of the other folks that came here and I gotta tell you I don’t understand some people. No, this place does not have fantastic ambiance. They started out with a taco truck and now have their first permanent location in a strip mall. Good on them. They do not have stuffed parrots and a Mariachi band to entertain you while you sip your Margarita through a straw. And if you find your burrito dry, that’s because you need to put some goddamn salsa on it. That’s what the salsa is for. So choose which salsa you like and put it on the goddamn burrito.
I’m not a huge fan of the daughter glued to her smart phone while I’m ordering and staying glued to it even after they ring the bell for order up. I’ve had to go to the counter and stare at the orders and wait for her to realize that she is standing in a restaurant and I am a customer and she is the only thing standing between me and two plates of delicious food. It’d be a much better system to take her out of the equation all together and I can yell my order back to the kitchen and then get it at the window myself. I’d get my food faster.
So yes, this is a nicer version of a taco van. It’s authentic. If you can dig on that, you’ll have a good time here.

Food was a three. Ambiance was a two.
We were excited to stop here on our way to Seattle based on the great Unilocal reviews. After eating here, we left pretty disappointed in our fellow Unilocalers for leading us astray.
The restaurant sat in a strip mall. It was a Monday at 12:30 and we were the only ones there. Overall, the restaurant was clean, but I did notice a few ants on the counter and crawling on the soda fountain. The place was so quiet that it felt as though we had to whisper the whole time. Some music would have been a nice touch. We only saw one employee the entire time. She was behind the counter and she served us as well. She maybe said a few words to us the whole time we were there.
I ordered the Wonder burrito plate with chicken for $ 7.99. The plate just indicates the burrito is served with beans and rice. It’s $ 1 extra for the plate rather than just the burrito. My husband ordered the wonder burrito, asada plate with four tacos. The tacos were served with lemons instead of limes which we had never seen before. Our daughter had a cheese quesadilla.
The burrito was a large portion, but I was immediately disappointed with how dry it was. I might as well have just ordered a rice burrito. It was mostly filled with rice and an occasional chunk of chicken would pop up. There definitely needed to be more meat. Towards the center of the burrito, there was some moisture coming from a sauce. The cilantro added quite a bit of freshness. The beans were alright, nothing to write home about. They were cooked with what appeared to be green peppers. My daughter ended up eating my side of rice.
Bellingham has better options. We likely won’t be back.

There are certain things I look for when I am going to pay someone to cook my food.
First, it has to be something I cannot recreate at home no matter how hard I try. This place fills that requirement right off the bat. If you find a way to recreate the wonder of the wonder burrito at home, please let me know because you are a genius.
Second, it has to be an unpretentious and easy dining experience, and containing some element of culture I can’t find elsewhere. From the duct tape on the wall menu to the El Salvador napkin holders, this place has that for sure. I tried to tell the wonderful woman in the kitchen how much I loved her food, but I quickly discovered she didn’t understand much English.
If you want something simple, delicious, inexpensive, and easy to sit down and eat at even it’s one of those days that you don’t feel like changing out of your PJ’s, this is the spot for you. And you get the added entertainment of watching the crazy train of people going in and out of that weird bar in the corner of the shopping center.

I can’t wait for a trip to Bellingham again to go to Super Marios!

A few caveats. I’ve never had the pupusas, and the finer points of Salvadorian cuisine are entirely lost on me. Cool? Good.
If I were the pharaoh and had the opportunity to be buried with one Bellingham eatery, this would be it.
If I were president, and I could hire a chef specifically for burritos, I’d call up Super Mario’s. And probably just fire the rest of the chefs at the White House.
The food I’ve had is as good as it gets in Bellingham. The price is right. They’re quick and courteous. What more can you ask from a food cart? Eat here.

El Salvadorean, too. Got a vicious pupusa craving? Super Mario’s can help, complete with encurtido.

More like 3.5 stars.
I would eat here again if I’m in Bellingham but the food didn’t rock my world or anything.
I had a bean/​cheese pupas, a chicken taco minus cilantro, and oh, that’s it. Good thing for the cabbage slaw they gave. It was filling enough since I had just come from my complimentary motel breakfast, but I probably would’ve wanted more food had it been regular lunch hour.
The pupas was good. It came out hot and fresh. with the filling all melted and mixed together, which, somehow I did not expect.
The chicken was a bit dry in my tacos but adding some sauce helped with that. I couldn’t figure out what was in the yellow bottle. oil? Did it have any flavor?
I liked how they had all these fashion magazines for patrons to peruse. And that’s how I killed time before going to a post-​wedding BBQ in La Conner.
Oh yea, bought two pastries for later and I would recommend the apple turnover. Flaky crust, delicious filling.

I cannot understand all the positive reviews of Super Mario’s. We went there after hearing some great reviews about their food truck.
We waited a long long time for our food.
I had ordered pupusas and a plate with 3 of them and a cabbage garnish was placed in front of me. The pupusas weren’t anything special and they were a bit runny inside.
I thought the food was overpriced for what you get and the food wasn’t even that tasty.
I also noticed that there was 1 squirt bottle of hot sauce for the whole restaurant and there were 2 tables playing tug of war with it. This seemed really odd and pathetic. How could they only have one for everybody to share?
Maybe we’ll try the truck sometime, but we won’t return to the restaurant. It was so-​so food and overpriced. Maybe we’re spoiled, as we’ve made our own pupusas, but these were glaringly different, and not in a good way.

Their wonder burrito is as good as gets with burritos imho.
So good I’ve probably eaten there 50 times and not tried another dish. It’s just not worth the risk.

My wife and I had dinner here on Mon and once again went away happy. We got a steak Torta sooo tasty! They season the steak to perfection here. Good bread that they baked there. We also got an order of bean, cheese and pork Pupusas boy are those good. The owner is such a nice lady and took care of us! We finished with the pineapple cake and a custard pastry. These were both good but are need maybe 1 or 2 minutes less cooking. I have never had a bad meal here or their truck.
