Mario's Butcher Shop - Newport Beach

This restaurant is on several Best Of lists for Orange County including Eater's Essentials and Eater's Best Breakfast Burritos. The shop itself is quite cool and has several harder to obtain products. Honestly, if this is the sort of product you're looking for I would recommend either Francisco's Meat Company in Anaheim or The Butchery in Brea and Costa Mesa.For the Breakfast Burrito, it really doesn't deserve to be on the list of Orange County's Best Breakfast burritos. Small, expensive, and tasteless and served with a cheese that tasted like American cheese (though I don't know what was actually in it). Do yourself a favor and go to Tj's Lil Cafe instead.

Steak sandwiches are incredibly amazing. I have been eating here for 3 days straight because I can’t get enough. A steak sandwich (high quality beef and delicous chimichurri), fries, and a fruit punch jarrito is a formula to make someone’s day go from average to AMAZING. A must eat in OC!!

I got held up on my review because honestly I had mixed feelings where the food is great the quality of the meat is undeniable. The service falls short in every aspect of the game.Today I went to have lunch and again had a bad experience , but today when I asked to speak to the manager my jaw dropped to find out I was being treated in that manner by (Andrew) the manager. So this message is for Mario if you read your Google reviews you should take a look at who's managing your storefront and has direct access to your clients you're returning clients. And make sure your stor is represented properly and your customers are treated with. Respect.

Hands-down, the best butcher shop, and the food that they serve is the best in town.
