The restaurant got busier after we sat at our table. The restaurant doesn't look like much from the outside. The inside isn't much either. But the food and service was TOTALLY EXCEPTIONAL! We ordered some pot stickers and roll appetizers. They were very good. I ordered the "C4 Panang" with shrimp. The one word to describe this dish is "AMAZING!" The flavors were deep and complex. I thoroughly enjoyed every bit. The service was also excellent. My son ordered a dish with "Fried Snapper" which he enjoyed very much. I consider my son an expert in Thai food since he's been to Thailand and lived in England where the cuisine is heavily influenced by India and Thailand. Everyone at our table enjoyed their meals. Our waitperson checked on our table often but not overly intruding into our table's conversation. And the "Fried Ice Cream" and "Mango Rice" were unique and excellent endings to a great meal. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this restaurant.

The new onions and peppers as well as eggs tasted fresher than most breakfast places. Still love their middle-ground salsa. Avocado toast benedict is Mr R's new favorite, (beating out their carnitas in his opinion and even after eating most of a tub of Fuego's good guacamole this weekend). I think it's absolutely wonderful, the only drawback being one of the soft eggs had leaked beautiful golden yolk but the base of toast and fried potatoes did a good job soaking it up. Enjoyable balance of rich and fresh, beautiful colors, filling without being sleep-inducing. It's more expensive than drive-through sausage biscuits or a taco stand and there's a wait if you don't call in your order ahead, but there is some tasty stuff here made with decent ingredients and presented well. Once again, it would have been worth the price without the coupon and I understand why this parking lot was busy after church hours. We'll definitely be back.

We have been patrons of this restaurant for a couple of years when we are in San Marcos. The food is traditional Mexican. Prepared well and the service has always been good and reasonably priced. Give it a try and you won't be disappointed. Watch out for the Green Salsa, give it a try (taste) before loading up. Thank you to the Rogelio's staff. read more

Rogelio's is amazing. Yes it is a hole in the wall, and the murals are weird and ugly. But, the food is amazing. The chili relleno is the best I've had. And there is an enchilada plate with fried eggs on top, weird, but delicious. A must try! And, it's cheap! read more

But to begin with this story let's start with the location, it's at the end of the building housing the restaurant. You notice a good amount of parking for the size of the place, as you enter you're warmly welcomed and you choose your seating unless you have a large group they'll accommodate your request. As your seated you are greeted by the person who will take your order, and they'll bring you some tasty chips and salsa and get what you'll be drinking. After a few minutes they'll come back to take your food order the personnel are kind and outgoing. And it is in this condition that this place shines, because the food I ordered was absolutely delicious. I chose the "Garcia's Chicken Fried Chicken" and I was very surprised how delicious it was, the cheese sauce complemented the lightly battered chicken fried very well, the rice and beans that accompanied the meal was equally delicious. Overall this place has to be on your list of places to try it.
