Taqueria San Marcos

Really great local spot with large authentic menu and diner like inside. Will be back often!

No words for how good these tacos. We also tried the chicken chimichanga and that was delicious well. What really took the cake (or took the taco) was their guacamole. Clearly had just been made and was so good. The vibes inside are very fun, we sat at the counter. The spinning chairs slayed. We were in and out in less than an hour. Very quick and nice people.

I went to pick up my take-out order here, and did not expect to encounter such a cozy neighborhood diner atmosphere. They told me it would take 30 minutes to get my order ready -- most probably because of all the hands-on care in the preparation. So once I arrived, I had time to sit on the bright red stool, absorb the tantalizing aromas around me, observe the low-keyed local residents in their booths and strike up a conversation with the person waiting next to me. I felt like I had come in from the cold to this warm community. I was equally impressed with the food, once I got home & unpacked it. The caldo de camaron (shrimp soup) surprised me with the vibrant colors of the huge chunks of vegetables (did they wait and chop them up only when they started my order?). It was warming and hearty. The mole poblano was the biggest surprise though, with the best mole sauce I'd ever experienced -- first you tasted the complex earthly flavor you expect from mole, then got a little zing of heat. The alambres (steak pieces on corn tortilla) was hearty and flavorful, and the portion was huge -- I now have tasty meals for the next 3 days. All in all, amazing food in a laid-back neighborhood diner experience!

We couldn't wait to try this place after early voting. First, we loved the decor. The red and white vinyl seating reminiscent of the 50s were clean and a fantastic throwback. The place sparkled. The owner helped us order and was very kind. And then there's the food. I ordered four tacos - pollo, carnitas, chorizo and pescado. The fish taco was absolutely outstanding! The flavors exploded in my mouth, were super fresh and well.. fantastic. When we go back I will definitely reorder. The chorizo taco was delicious. The carnitas and pollo, which I ate last, were a bit dry. Perhaps it was timing. I added some of the 'NOT hot' sauce to give them a boost. That's all they needed. Yum! I want to try some different kinds, but I will definitely have the pescado and chorizo tacos in the future.

Really enjoyed our visit to Taqueria San Marcos and can't wait to come back. We ordered four tacos and cheese dip. All the tacos were good and would order again but the best two were the steak and the marinated chicken. The chips and salsa were good. Enjoyed the salsa having some spice and being onion forward. The cheese dip was delicious and thicc (that's not a typo). Our waitress was very friendly and helpful. She recommended great tacos. The vibe inside is cool and unique. I like that they kept the diner look.

This is a small, corner diner styled restaurant. I was searching for tacos and came across this little gem. Probably family owned, one guy was in the kitchen and one young, very sweet young lady was handling the front. I had the fish tacos with some of the sauces they had, accompanied with the famous Jarritos. I'd totally return to this little quiet, intimate spot for lunch again. I'm sure this place is a secret, because it's right in the neighborhood. Definitely give it a try from some authentic Mexican food.
