" After living in the area for over a year, I finally decided to try San Marcos Restaurant, and let me tell you, it did not disappoint! The atmosphere is charming and cozy, perfect for a laid-back meal with family. I was particularly impressed by the handmade tortillas used in their tacos. Each taco was filled with generous portions of meat that were well seasoned. The salsa that came along was fresh and just the right amount of spicy. Truly a great find for someone who appreciates authentic Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)

" San Marcos has its ups and downs. I had a great meal once but my most recent visit didn't impress me at all. The food was bland and the service felt rushed. It was a busy evening, which may have contributed. When the food is good, it’s really good. I just hope they can find some consistency. " (*Curated Review*)

" I wasn't thrilled with my last visit. The tacos I got had a weird texture and I didn’t really enjoy them as much as I hoped. My friend, however, had the quesadilla and loved it. We received our food relatively quickly, so I’ll give them that. Just wish I could’ve had the same experience as my friend. " (*Curated Review*)

" San Marcos is a family favorite! We always look forward to taco night here. The quality of the food is consistently excellent whenever we visit. The atmosphere is always lively, and the kids enjoy the welcoming environment. I highly recommend this place for family dining or a casual night out. Definitely a gem in the city! " (*Curated Review*)

" The experience at San Marcos was wonderful! The waitstaff were very welcoming, and the food was absolutely divine. I had the pozole, and it reminded me of my grandmother's recipe! Honestly, it’s hard to find such authentic Mexican flavors elsewhere. The only downside was the limited parking, which made it a bit annoying on busy nights. However, I’ve found my new favorite spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited San Marcos based on a friend's recommendation, and I was quite pleased! The homemade tortillas are a standout feature, definitely adding to the authenticity of the dishes. I tried the shrimp tacos, which were delicious and fresh. The only downside was the wait time, as it was quite busy that night. However, I believe the food is worth the wait. I will be returning here again for another taco craving! " (*Curated Review*)

" I came to San Marcos for the first time last weekend and I was absolutely blown away! The barbacoa tacos were to die for—they were juicy, flavorful, and had that authentic taste I’ve been searching for. The service was attentive and friendly, which only made the meal better. Can't wait to visit again and explore more of the menu. Definitely recommend this place for anyone who loves Mexican cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)
