" El San Marcos is my go-to for Mexican food! Their enchiladas are a must-try, always cooked to perfection with generous toppings. The service staff consistently remember my favorite dishes, which makes the experience even better. The restaurant has a nice ambiance that suits casual family meals. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" I love dining at El San Marcos! The staff is super friendly and remember my orders. Their chicken enchiladas with verde sauce never fail to impress—rich flavors and a generous portion. The restaurant is clean and has a warm atmosphere, but it can get busy, so I recommend going during off-peak hours. Perfect for family dinners or a casual night out with friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been wanting to try El San Marcos for a while, and I finally made it! I was impressed by how friendly the staff was and how clean the restaurant felt. The enchiladas were very good, but I didn’t love their salsa. Overall, though, it was a delightful dining experience. I will be back to try more of their food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Last night, I visited El San Marcos for the first time and it blew my mind! The Quesabirria tacos were out of this world, with tender meat and a flavorful broth that paired perfectly. The staff was welcoming and attentive, making sure our drinks were always full. The atmosphere felt warm and inviting, a real gem in the heart of Visalia. I can't wait to come back and try more of their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting my family in Visalia, I decided to check out El San Marcos based on the reviews. Wow, I was not let down! The Birria Ramen was incredible—my husband thought he was back in Mexico. I loved their homemade chips and salsa too! The only downside was a long wait time for our food, but it was worth it. Definitely coming back next time I'm in town. Also, make sure to try the horchata; it's fresh and not overly sweet! " (*Curated Review*)

" I frequent El San Marcos and am never disappointed. Their pozole is my go-to; every spoonful is full of authentic flavor. During my latest visit, I also tried their enchiladas and they were superb. It's like eating at my grandma's house. The ambiance is simple yet cozy, and the management is always friendly. I'd highly recommend this place to anyone looking for good and authentic Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I cannot express how incredible the food is here! The Quesabirria and their homemade chips are truly a culinary experience. I brought my friends who were skeptical about Mexican food, and they left raving! Everyone can find something to enjoy. The servers kept checking on us, and the cozy setup only added to our enjoyment. I highly recommend this place to anyone craving authentic Mexican cuisine in a friendly environment.
