A Vision Brought to Life

Chef Mario Pagán in the kitchen

Born from the personal journey of Chef Mario Pagán, MĀRO is a tribute to self-expression, cultural convergence, and the spirit of exploration.

The name MĀRO, meaning "myself," reflects a philosophy rooted in authenticity and creativity. Inspired by the coastal and island traditions of Latin America and the Pacific Rim—from Japan and Hawaii to Polynesia, Korea, China, and the Philippines—MĀRO blends centuries-old techniques with a modern sensibility.

Every plate tells a story. Every detail invites discovery. Welcome to a place where flavor is art, and dining is an immersive experience.
