Mario’s Family Clothing Center

Lots of Dickies stacked high up to the ceiling a few Levis 501’s your Shaka T-​Shirts Pro Club Etc. Was hoping to see some Ben Davis Gear but they stopped stocking them 10 years ago. Not as many jacket choices as I would have liked… HUGE display for LOCS Sunglasses.
The guys were friendly but to be honest the inventory didn’t excite me as much as I thought it would.
Anyway I did purchase a pair of 501’s I was looking for.
Apparently all Mario’s FCC have the same inventory.

Fast, friendly, and professional service when it comes to quality digital printing. Mario is the man! Perfect for making custom shirts for birthday parties, bachelorette-​outings and bar crawls. I got shirts done here last April for Coachella and got tons of compliments on them! Really affordable pricing too if I might add. :)

This store has quite a selection of anything you might need. Trendy and uncool work clothing in nearly all sizes. Staff was helpful and knew their business.

Their hours posted online and outside of the store say they open at 10am. I came around 10:20 and they were closed. I called the number 4 times and no answer. This was the only time I could come by today and I am extremely frustrated at their lack of responsibility and reliability.

I went in looking for some Dickies for work. I’ve been to other places before and it can get so expensive for work pants.
The store isn’t in the best of places but it has everything you will need for uniform clothing. The clothes are at a good price and they have so much variety for both men and women.
The coworkers are all very nice as well. They asked me if I needed assistance and helped me pick out some pants and a belt.
All in all it was a great experience. Good selection and great customer service.

If possible I would put a no star rating. Went in for some shirts, and no one was helpful. In fact, when I walked in, the guy behind the counter simply made eye contact with me and didn’t say a word. They also didn’t have what I was looking for, not did they seem to care to help me find it at another location or even find anything else! Never ever will I set foot in there! Boo!

This is «my dirty little secret». Hey, I mean that in a good way! This store is on El Cajon Blvd — among a Little Ceasars, a Chinese and Thai food restaurant and a homeless man. The store itself reminds you of that kid’s garage — you know the one from when you were sophomore-​ish? The one you used to hang out when you skipped school to play video games and drink Mad Dog 20/​20s with the «bad» friends you weren’t supposed to hang out with anymore. Teenage boys everywhere! Working there and just hanging out? I think? Whenever I go in there I look for the owner’s son because he’s the only one I’m positive works there. But hey, the rest of the boys that he tells to take shoes off the shelves are extremely helpful! and have great style themselves. This is the perfect store to buy your boyfriend (in my case, girlfriend) a nice pair of shoes. Circas, Vans, Converse etc. Cheap too. Think FamMart cheap. $ 40 bucks. The girls close are, «eh». Okay, they’re ugly. I’ve seen semi decent girl coats on the walls — like wearable, but shouldn’t be worn. but the boys clothes are nice. Pharrell-​nice. Nice baseball caps too.

I can’t count the amt of times I’ve driven by this place. Not to mention the people who save they’ve found good affordable clothes here. I wasn’t sold until my friend and I decided to be Wayne and Garth (Wayne’s World, of course) and I needed the flannel to be Garth. My first thought? Mario’s!
As I drove up there was a ranting homeless person outside but it seemed like the guys working at the store were sort of shooing him away. So that made me feel better. El Cajon after dark can get interesting.
Right when I walked up, probably looking scared and bewildered, a gentlemen offered to help me. I told him I was looking for «a dudes flannel». Where do I get this stuff? I finally explained I was going to be Garth and showed him the picture I was modeling after. Not that he needed it. Who doesn’t know what Garth looks like? He helped me find both the items I needed in under 5 minutes for half the price I thought I was going to pay. Less than half actually!
He was friendly and not pushy or annoyed by my requests: «But do you have one that’s not blue, but blue-​ish?» I was on my way home from work so not really in the mood for impromptu shopping, but I found myself looking around to see what women’s clothes they offer. It seems like everyone in town buys work pants here.
I’m one of those weird people who gets overwhelmed by shopping and I’m looking forward to coming back. Great experience. Thanks to Mario’s for making life easy.

Great customer service! They helped me find not only a pair of dickies work pants but a pair of dickies shorts as well. Large selection to choose from. Perfect store for someone who needs work pants.

Gettin my Dickies and Ben Davis but they need a better shoe selection.

The staff were very friendly and helped me out quickly. I even bought a hat too and the prices were great. I came for coveralls I needed for work and and and out with a hat too and was completely satisfied!

These guys are super nice and helpful. They have a great selection of school uniform clothing.

cheap stuff. i get my backpacks here, belts, socks… basic stuff… for much less than anywhere else
…but it really can get scary in here… you would think you were in the middle of the ghetto. not just off the 805. the area is not bad… but the people who come in here freak me out!
i fell much more at ease in Chula Vista… and the shopping is just as good down there.

man from levis hats sox and beenies marios gottem… school shopping for the youthman. yes eye MARIOS!!!

I remember things at this place being super cheap. but I guess they raised their prices and kept the same quality? I bought a belt from here today, you know those cheap belts that come in different colors and u can change the buckles? Well I needed a plain black one so I got it here… it was almost $ 3! I used to get these for 99 cents all the time!
So then I wanted plain tshirts… AAA… guess wat? They only had pro club. Boooo!

Great Value!

went here with the intent to buy a flannel shirt/​jacket. they had three, none that i wanted. i was also interested in getting some blank tee’s. the selection for tee’s was weak. not too many colors and impossible to find any order in the sizes very unorganized. i ended up buying a Dickie’s work jacket although i settled because they did not have my size to choose from in the color i wanted. kind of a let down. customer service was so so…

I ususally come in here to stock up on plaids and beenies, but the other day I was in need of a couple dozen blank tees for a last minute print run for Master Tattoo. Mario is chill and down to earth, and was very helpful.
Contrary to popular belief, you don’t need and ankle monitor to shop here. There is a lot of good, quality clothing here, whether it be blanks, undees or socks. Plus, lowest price on Chuck Taylors!

The best place to go when you need to gangsterfy yourself.
Dickies and plain t’s of all colors available here. Funky checkered Converse style shoes, sports attire, flannels, and baseball caps.
I saw belt buckles that read «East County Rocks » ! What ?! Ok…
The selection here is mind boggling. Ive never seen so many styles of clothing that I would never put together as one ensemble.

Do you need Dickies? Do you need tube socks, t-​shirts or quilted flannel jackets? Come on down to Mario’s, these workwear basics are their specialty. Since Dickies has been expanding their brand from work clothes into the fashion market, they are available in mall stores, at elevated mall prices. Why pay more for the same item? Sure they don’t pipe in Fall Out Boy over the speakers, or have a website where you can get style tips, but if you just want some pants, skip all the nonsense.
