This hot new Hillcrest joint has lots in common with its ancestor, Hamburger Mary’s. Kick-ass Margaritas in brilliant shades of blue, juicy burgers, and fabulous vibes have been passed down from Mary to Mo, making Urban Mo’s Bar and Grill a welcome—and not too drastic—change.

 The open-air patio, cozy cabana booths, funky décor, and fruity dishes like Mango Salsa Swordfish and Chipotle Raspberry Chicken Breast mean Mo’s is tropi-cool enough to be a San Diego hit. Although Mary’s kitschy decor will be missed, many customers appreciate the slightly more grown-up atmosphere that Mo’s has to offer.  

If meat’s your thing and Mary’s burgers were your preferred poison, you’ve got nothing to worry about—Mo’s has not strayed too far from the former hit-makers. The new menu features a build-your-own-burger section, with choices like pineapple, grilled red peppers, guacamole and chili. So if you’re in the mood for buns, booze and dancing, visit Mo’s between 2 and 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, when cheap well drinks are flying off the shelves and half plates of Mo’s tasty apps go for $3 bucks a pop.
