" Having visited several times, I can confidently say that San Marcos is one of the best Mexican restaurants in the area. I recently tried their carne asada fries, and they were loaded! Freshness is key here; everything tastes homemade. The atmosphere feels festive and welcoming. Also have to mention the attention to detail in service. Our server made our dining experience memorable with friendly conversations. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" I frequently go to San Marcos after church on Sundays, and it's become a tradition for my family and me. The food is consistently authentic and delicious, especially their mole dishes. Our server, Max, has always been fantastic and remembers our favorite orders. However, I wish they would offer more vegetarian options on the menu. Still, the portions are generous, and we leave feeling satisfied every time! Highly recommended! " (*Curated Review*)

" San Marcos has become my go-to Mexican restaurant! It offers an authentic experience that truly reflects Mexico’s culinary treasures. The decor is charming, with vibrant colors and art. The guacamole is some of the best I've ever tasted—it's creamy and just the right subtle flavor of lime. However, one thing to watch out for is the wait time during busy hours; it can be long. Regardless, the food makes it worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at San Marcos was quite pleasant! The chips and salsa were served quickly, and I appreciated how fresh everything tasted. I had the shrimp enchiladas, which were decent, although I anticipated more flavor. Service was attentive, and I enjoyed the colorful decor. It's definitely a family-friendly spot, but some items on the menu felt a bit pricey for the portion size. Overall, a solid restaurant that I might visit again. " (*Curated Review*)

" San Marcos has made a fan out of me! I’ve been twice, and both times the food blew me away. I ordered the enchiladas and they were delightful, but I was shocked by the serving size of the appetizers; the guacamole was not enough for the chips provided. The vibes in the restaurant are lively, and the colors really reflect Mexican culture. I’ll be recommending this place to anyone looking for a great meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a great experience at San Marcos. The atmosphere sets a happy and warm tone as soon as you walk in. The service staff was friendly and prompt. I specifically enjoyed the mole; it was rich and comforting. The only downside was the pricing which felt a tad high considering the quantity. Still, I would return for such flavors! " (*Curated Review*)

" The dining experience at San Marcos exceeded my expectations! I was there with my friends, and we ordered a bit of everything to share. The tacos were incredible with authentic flavors that reminded me of my trip to Mexico. The prices are reasonable for the amount of food you receive, and the margaritas were a highlight as well! Our server was attentive without being intrusive. I can’t wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)
