" Absolutely delicious! The moment you step inside, the cozy patio and lovely decor invite you in. I love their quesadillas packed with flavor and paired with their spicy salsa. My only complaint was the wait; it took a little longer than expected to receive my order, but the food certainly made up for it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointment! I tried the infamous burrito, but it was bland and dry. They really skimped on the filling. I thought the handmade tortillas would help, but it didn’t save the overall experience. Wouldn’t recommend based on my meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" San Marcos Charquito is a hidden gem! I absolutely love their shrimp tacos. You can taste the freshness in every bite and the flavors are authentic and top-notch. The only downside is that it's cash only, which can be a hassle. But the taste is worth every penny! " (*Curated Review*)

" For the price, I expected more from my meal. The tacos didn’t quite hit the mark flavor-wise and I left feeling unsatisfied. Though convenience is great, I suggest exploring other options in town that offer more value. " (*Curated Review*)

" I absolutely loved the carnitas tacos. They were juicy, filling, and full of authentic flavor. I asked for extra hot salsa and it was perfect. The atmosphere outside is very inviting, although it can get busy. Make sure to arrive early during the lunch rush for the best experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I visit San Marcos, I'm impressed by the quality of the food. The tacos are generously filled, and the homemade salsas are delicious. I always order extra salsa because they have a great range of flavors. I sometimes have to wait for my food, but I know it's made to order, so that’s understandable. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" My husband and I discovered this spot while looking for something casual to eat. The food was fresh and tasted great. The highlight was the handmade corn tortillas which made each taco rich in flavor. It's an affordable option, and we’re definitely coming back! " (*Curated Review*)
