About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Innovative
Welcome to MĀRO! It means ‘myself’ in Japanese —it’s inspired by Chef Mario Pagán’s identity and vision, and it’s also a stylized nod to the name “Mario”. Here, we serve Pacífico-Latina cuisine, blending fresh Latin-Caribbean flavors with Pacific influences for a dining experience that feels both familiar, but modern and exciting.

    Creo que no deben cobrar el estacionamiento o agua etc por lo menos si gastan $100 o más. Algún pan o algo por la casa sería un buen toque. Sugerencia según otros rest aquí y en el mundo

    We visited Maro after coming from the west side of Puerto Rico, and the experience was excellent from beginning to end. Everything we tried was delicious. The drinks and cocktails were very well prepared, the appetizers were amazing, and the meat was excellent. One of our favorite dishes was the duck rice, which was absolutely delicious. In addition to the quality of the food, the service was outstanding throughout our entire visit. A very special thank you to Emma, who took care of us and truly made our experience even better. She was attentive, friendly, and extremely professional. We highly recommend Maro 100%. It was definitely worth the trip from the west side, and we would recommend it to anyone looking for a great dining experience. We are already looking forward to coming back again soon.
