    Bobcat Bowl
    Jasmine H.

    Fireee!! My go to in undergrad! Love the customization of bowls! Similar to chipotle but more healthy and more options. Service always super quick which is convenient! This place is in a great spot too- love how it's right next to HOTWORX! The interior is fast casual vibes- with plenty of seating inside! The Bobcat bowl is a must!!

    This was my first time having fresco and it surely lived up to the hype! I made a custom bowl with the following ingredients: shredded kale, cilantro lime brown rice, cuban style black beans, citrus chipotle glazed tofu, roasted sweet potatoes, cherry tomato pico, charred corn, pickled onion, marinated garbanzos, cucumber, 1/2 order of sweet and spicy brussels sprouts topped with a fresh lime squeeze and a side of citrus cilantro vinaigrette! As tasty as it was, I'd probably get double vinaigrette next time to balance the dryness of some ingredients (garbanzo beans, etc) Unfortunately I can't speak on the ambiance of the restaurant as I got it delivered through DoorDash, but as for the service-- it didn't take as long as I'd expected! Will definitely order from here again. Healthy and fulfilling.

    We were looking for a healthy option in San Marcos. It seems like most options are pretty heavy and unhealthy. We passed by Fresco and were curious by the title so we looked it up on yelp. All the reviews were great so we were excited to try it. Absolutely love the flavor explosions of so much stuff going on, so many flavors. We were only in the area for a limited time but as soon as we found this place we came three days in a row. The tofu and the brussels sprouts are probably some of my favorite choices. They have some great options that are already designed but our favorite was the build your own. The fresh Fresca juices were amazing. They were definitely a highlight to the meal. Absolutely delicious and a must try. The bowls are big so you could actually eat them over to Mills but they're so delicious you're gonna wanna eat them as one.

    Delicious, colorful, healthy, super nice employees. It just wins. Thank you for doing an excellent job, Fresco. Props for all the vegan options

    El hippie + roasted corn. I mixed the passion fruit/tajin with the pineapple/cucumber juices. So bomb!

    Was in traffic on the way to the outlets and starving. Saw this on yelp and was like ehhh why not I'm hungry. Best surprise getting an incredible meal on a whim! Big portions, delicious dressing, fresh ingredients. The girls working were very friendly and nice too. The juices were so so yummy. Asked one of the employees if there is one in Austin and she said it's the only location but they're hoping to expand, I hope so too! Def will be back.

    Love love love fresco, so filling and guilt free after eating. My fav is the chicken and sweet potatoes. If you try get the yogurt avocado sauce it's amazing

    Build your own bowl.  Allison chose everything!  I'm so grateful for this find today!

    God knew what I needed. He always does. So He led me here, my new favorite. This was my first time here so I didn't know what to get. I just knew that I'm all plant-based right now so no meat or dairy for me. I let Allison build my bowl for me. That was risky because of how picky I am. Like my kindred sister or something, she hooked me up with all my favorites. She just knew. That grain bowl was like having a Holy Spirit-filled revival service in my mouth. So. Much. FLAVOR!!! And hecka healthy I might do that again on my next visit if she's there. I'm so grateful for this find!!

    Loaded and delicious! Two types of salad, quinoa and rice and all the veggies. Love the cilantro lemon vinaigrette

    This place is amazing with the customization options! I'm on a fiber enhanced diet right now so I was able to pick some better options than other places that are similar to this business model. I enjoyed the variety of bases that they have. As you can see my bowl was runneth over...I went with a friend and she got less toppings same price though. Also adding in extra toppings isn't an arm and a leg. If I lived closer I'd definitely be going here on a weekly basis

The meat is seasoned and hits the spot every time - it doesn't matter what meat you get because it is all great! Tons of variation on their menu. I get the bowls with rice and lettuce a plus every topping under the sun and garlic/harissa sauce. Chicken is great, beef is great, and I could eat their falafel all day. I love getting the bowls with their various pickled veggies for the contrast in tastes. Dolma is delicious, the kebabs are delicious, the fries loaded with deliciousness are in fact delicious, and the prices for all dishes are very reasonable. Food can take a little longer, but only because the food is cooked fresh to order and not sitting in a metal container overcooking. Their pitas are stuffed to a brim with toppings and meat, and I could eat their hummus all day every day. Every time we come to San Marcos I have to try to force myself to try something new - it's hard, but we always find ourselves back at Halal Project happily full every time.

The veggies were, as always, beautiful and fresh. Halfway through I did remark to Mr R that Halal Project definitely has more flavor than Taziki, and he agreed. It did take a little longer than expected (mostly noticeable bc it's a day we had a plane to catch) but not outrageous and the results were indisputably worth it. Love to whoever wrapped these gyros sturdily enough to make eating them in the car NOT a complete disaster; we will continue to enjoy this local delight.

    Great service, quick, and delicious!…read more The heavenly eggs were so good with the candied bacon, and the dirty fries were honestly enough to make me full on their own. I would come back and try their stupid hot (ghost) flavor next time. I had the habanero and it was spicy yet the chicken flavor was still good. If you're a true spicy fanatic I would recommend this spot to try, as there is still good flavor outside of being spicy with their chicken.

When we moved to San Marcos and realized they were opening one up across from HEB off exit 205 we both looked at each other and said in unison "uh-oh". Hot chicken sandwiches are one of my favorite things to eat on the planet. Our yearly trips to Nashville aren't complete until I go to Prince's, Hattie Bs and Boltons. The first time we went to Tumble was 2 days after returning from a trip and I'll put T22 up against any of them all day. We have never even gone to the Hattie Bs in Austin because we don't need to. I have tried a couple other hot chicken spots in the area and was severely disappointed. They set the bar that high. A Big Larry is a must have. Blood orange frozen marg with a Gran Mariner floater that is perfect for that Central Texas heat. Bone-in chicken and tenders are great but the OG sandwich is the star of the show. You can choose from 6 different heat levels from nothing to "stupid hot"...which is in fact stupid hot. I go one notch below (cluckin hot) and my wife enjoys dang hot. The OG is huge so come hungry. We have actually taken to ordering the Lil OG so we don't drive home in a coma. Try it Korean style at least once. It doesn't disappoint. They have several other sandwich versions as well so, plenty of variety. The fries are like old school McDonald's fries (compliment, have to get the comeback sauce of course) but the ranch beans are my typical go to. I do wish they had potato salad like other locations but the slaw is great if I'm in the mood to cool things off. They are also know for their pies, I'm partial to the Key Lime. The happy hour menu (4-6pm) is a legitimately good value as well and has items on there you'll actually want to order (Big Larry, Lil OG, etc). The staff, management, bartenders and hosts are always attentive and cheerful. We bring our dogs and sit on the patio and everyone comes by to give them some pets, water bowl and even the occasional treat. You'll love it here just like anyone and everyone we take here who visits from out of town or who we brow-beat in to going who hasn't been yet.

The porter biscuit sandwich was so bad I asked them to remake it. The second time it was less burnt but still overcooked and the batter was too unpleasant to eat. The last of us had bourbon pecan chicken. It was better than my sandwich but didn't really taste like chicken due to so much seasoning or marinade (I tried a bite of it as well) and the grits were similarly over saturated with some sort of flavoring. Expensive!

    Beware of the "5 Star" Reviews…read more Offering free drinks/apps in exchange. I do want to point out that I never submit reviews. Went in and sat down quick, yet the food took over an hour. We sat, ordered drinks along with the food when we got there. After we realized the people around us that arrived significantly later were already paying to leave, we got up to ask about our food as it had easily been 40 minutes. Got told it would be a couple of minutes, gave us waters. Mind you, we are now over an hour into waiting. Food started to roll out and we kept getting offered free chips in the meantime- sorry but this solves the situation how? We are now going to be full of chips and not food. 2 of the meals still took an extra 20 min after the majority rolled out and of course, my parents' food came out COLD. What were we waiting for on this exactly? A lady, who I am assuming is the manager, came to apologize, told us she would remove the 2 items from the ticket. We were understanding. However, she then admitted they dropped the ball- this is where this place really lost us. She stated that they tried to reheat the plates and just pass it as "fresh." Thank you for finally being honest but this truly just gave me a bad image of management. I felt like they just threw the team under the bus. We asked for the check and when we asked if she did comp the 2 plates, she gave an attitude responding, "I did, I fixed it" and then proceeded to send someone else to check us out. That is not how you manage or take ownership. As a manager myself, you take care of the person full on through to try and turn the situation around. Had she done that or had the staff communicated that they messed up when we had initially asked, we would've been completely fine instead all that happened here. We were in there for about 2.5 hours. Unfortunately left disappointed due to the good reviews we initially saw.
