This is a great place for good inexpensive Tex-Mex. I've only eaten here at lunch, but have found their lunch specials to be good values and to be reasonably tasty. For $5-6 you can come away full and very satisfied with your meal. Don't expect a lot of ambience, because there really isn't any. The dining area is open, very much like you might find at a BBQ restaurant in Lockhart. There are a few small tables, but they're pretty close together, so don't think about having romantic or private meals here. But that's not a knock on Rogelio's. They deliver good, solid, food for a great price in a diner-style environment. read more

Good food and service. Neighborhood feel with locals. Our go to when baseball tournaments are in San Marcos.

Food was great! Had the French toast. The service was fast and friendly. Price is just right. We will be coming back for me.

Food and service was terrific. Best Mexican food in town by far. Do yourself a favor and try the chili relleno. Honestly everything on the menu is excellent, I've never been disappointed at Rogelio's. read more

Great food all made from scratch. I meet Mr. Rogelio while fishing small place but if u can find it your belly will thank u.

Ordered the migas on my hubby's suggestion. Very good and plenty of food for the two of us. We enjoyed the food and the staff was friendly and attentive. read more

Rogelio's Restaurant - Mexican Near Me - San Marcos, Texas

Had my usual beef enchiladas and it came with rice and beans. I ordered a side of guacamole to go with it. All EXCELLENT! My choice for Mexican food in San Marcos read more

Good place with enjoyable food, everyone was nice and very helpful I got the consuelo huevos and wow it was amazing, the beer can be colder but that's just a suggestion overall make sure to stop by and check it out! read more

Great to come and get some good home Mexican food, with the sound of an accordion in the background, also great coffee!

Another gem I found doing deliveries.Thank goodness for Yelp or I would go broke on restaurants alone. Anyway, their Spanish rice and refríes beans are delicious. Their hot sauce is just a notch hotter than usual, though. read more

Very good food - good portion sizes too! Queso was delicious- ate too many chips and almost didn't have room for all of my dinner. Great waitress too - very friendly and answered all of my questions. Will definitely be back! read more

1st time here. We enjoyed a delicious breakfast and the staff was friendly and attentive.

From out of town looking for Migas Con Queso (make sure you add queso it was spot on!) Stop here and was a good choice! They also have $3 beers and $3.00 Tacos for HH. read more

Great authentic food! First time here and wanted to try something local. Viewed Yelp for suggestions and came across this restaurant which got good reviews. Will come back again soon. read more

Had the special tacos. Chicharron and John wade were amazing. Only 5.50 for 2 tacos which filled me up. We left a 50% tip because they were great. My hubby had a yummy meat only omelet. read more

Breakfast is good. However, lunch entrees are marginal and unremarkable. Service is quick and friendly.

I've never been to Rogelio's and not gotten great customer service. The food always comes out pretty quickly and it tastes yummy. The only way to get better Tex-mex in the area is to go into Austin or San Antonio. I had the beef enchiladas and they were good. They probably could have used a little more salt but I just added it to my taste. My boyfriend had the beef fajitas and he thought they were good. His only complaint was running out of lettuce, cheese, and tomatoes on his last taco. He thought one more tortilla and more of those condiments would have made it perfect. As for the tortillas they seem store bought so not as good as homemade tortillas but still passable. We also had a small mucho queso compuesto as an appetizer and it was great. We decided we would get a large the next time we come. Definitely try this place out and support small business! read more

San Marcos has (way) more than its share of Tex-Mex joints, but this ranks among the best. We first heard about Rogelio's from someone who sagely advised, "All the cops eat there." We took that to mean we were somehow less likely to be mugged or shot on premises. Maybe so. But we've made several trips and I don't recall seeing a single cop. We have, however, seen everyone else: families, couples, moms with kids, college students, the gamut. They all were happily inserting Rogelio's delicious menu items into their mouths. Es bueno! read more

Fresh squeezed OJ. Nice waitress. The best chicken tortilla soup in town. Menu is more original then most Mexican places. Great solid Mexican. May be the best in town read more

I love Rogelio's. I've been eating here for years. I've had breakfast, lunch and dinner. It's a San Marcos staple. The plates are huge. The salsa is hot (spicy). The aqua fresca is some of my all-time favorite. (Try the fresh squeezed orange juice, squeezed before your eyes!) I recommend ordering traditional Mexican meals, and not the American dishes. BTW, the menu is huge, and there are many, many options to choose from. read more

Not much to say other than "Go eat there!" It's all yummy, yummy stuff. My favorite there right now is the fish tacos. Deliciously spiced catfish in flour tortillas. Just writing that makes me hungry. read more

I hesitate to review this place so highly because I don't want to talk so I have to wait I love this restaurant the food is very inexpensive the breakfast tacos are the best I've found in San Marcos and they have really good pancakes even plus they have your staple Valley food like chilaquiles and migas. Excellent. Inside is simple but spotlessly clean. read more

The BEST Thursday Lunch Special in Town! Berny's Plate: 1 taco (your choice), 1 enchilada (your choice), rice and beans (your choice)...all for $4.99!!! Plus, their rice has vegetables and then refried beans are made with vegetable shortening, not lard! Their salsa is also homemade and amazing! Come join me, and do yourself a lunch-time favor, and enjoy Rogelio's! read more

Ok so this place was not the place I had originally decided on for lunch but it appealed to me for some reason. My daughter had her usual cheese enchiladas, I had shrimp nachos. I am on a real nacho kick right now so anything on a tortilla chip with cheese is good. Anyway, I digress.... My daughter dug into her food with gusto. I was surprised because she had turned her nose up when she saw the place. My nachos were typical hole in the wall tex-mex. They use the tiny salad shrimp for the nachos but they weren't stingy so it was good. I didn't experience anything phenomenal but waitstaff was attentive and the food was reasonably priced. I would do it again. read more

Came in thinking we would try this place due to some good reviews and why not help a family owned restaurant? We ordered two lunch plates and a lunch chicken fried steak plate. Flautas were nothing special, same with rice and beans. The food was not hot either. Sour cream enchiladas were good. Chicken fried steak was so salty. When we told waitress (she was nice), another older female approached us and asked us if it was the gravy or the steak? Also that she would take it to the cook and if he said it wasn't salty then she would have to charge us for it! WTF? I kept telling her, why doesn't everyone back there take a taste on the part the my husband hadn't touched? It was too salty to eat. We didn't want anything free, it was inedible. The second lady's attitude was so offending, I lost my appetite and couldn't eat the subpar flautas. We could hear all the employees talking about us, it made us feel so uncomfortable. We couldn't get out of there fast enough. Do not recommend at all. read more

Breakfast or Lunch this place is Awesome & cheap!!! Great hot sauce!

The best place next to Casa Maria. Their nachos and stuffed jalapeños make me wanna marry them, both, at the same time.

Coming from Corpus we had not found a decent place to have breakfast tacos or a Mexican style breakfast until we stopped in at Rogelio's! The food was excellent! Everything was very fresh and tasty! All four of us ate for $20 too! Restaurant was clean, and staff was friendly! Highly recommend! read more

Still amazing but they've added $4.99 weekday breakfast specials (and $6.75 lunch/dinner specials). Already a great deal, the specials are an even more amazing deal. Ate huevos montulenos for the first time -- amazing. And, the service is great as always. Our coffee cups were kept full. There was fresh salsa on the table. We are usually in San Marcos for Thanksgiving, but breakfast the day after here is totally one of the stars of the trip. read more

Wonderful little restaurant. Super friendly service. Great food, great prices, great environment. If you're looking for some real Mexican food definitely try this restaurant. read more

Place was clean and staff was friendly. If you're looking for authentic Mexican this place isn't it. Fake tortillas and menudo was sub par. read more

Pleasant surprise! food and customer service are amazing, the closest I've gotten to authentic Mexican food while living in Texas. Definitely coming back here read more

The salsa here was good. However everything else was terrible, the service(1 waitress) was on her phone he entire time and neglected to get me a single refill. The food I finally got, I was not impressed about. Got the chicken quesadillas. Half of them were missing chicken, and the other half was terrible quality chicken with gristle and fat. I would not recommend this restaurant to an enemy. read more

The interior is a little bland, formica tables, but it does have funky murals. The food is suprisingly good. I ordered the chicken fajitas and thought they were excellent. Huge order for a single order, and the chicken was very expertly seasoned, and big chunks of juicy meat. The tortillas were fresh, not sure if they make them there or not. They also serve Beer, and saw they have decent breakfast specials read more

Breakfast is amazing here. Get the John Wade Special...migas and barbacoa on one plate! It's delicious. The Machacado is also a favorite. Dinner is so-so. Breakfast is where it's at! read more

Was vacationing in San Marcos, stopped here for Mexican food. Overall, good food. Even better service-family owned business! read more

Definitely not a true authentic Mexican restaurant. Tacos were pretty simple in flavor and the wait staff could check on their tables a bit more. Wanted a true taqueria feel and you can definitely tell they've aimed their food towards Tex mex. read more

This place is an awesome little gem, if you're looking for a family style, laid back, authentic Mexican restaurant. I've been craving good Mole for a while and when I saw that Rogelio's makes it, we drove straight there. I grew up with authentic Mexican food and it seems hard to find sometimes, since most places are Tex-Mex. My husband had the Caldo, my daughter had the beans, rice, and chicken taco kids plate; and I had the Chicken Mole. The chicken mole was rich and delicious, perfectly spiced. My husband's Caldo came out hot (temp) and flavorful, just like momma makes it. My daughter wiped out her taco. We finished it up with fried ice cream, the plate was huge! We couldn't finish it, so we took it home. The environment was laid back and welcoming. There was one waitress working, the manager was there, as well as a lady at the check out counter - they were all very accommodating and polite. Everyone asked how our food was and made sure we had everything we needed. Wonderful experience! Will be back :-) read more

We discovered this place about a week ago and brought friends back with us a couple days later. Well-priced, good chips and salsa, tasty micheladas, and lots of meatless options. read more

The fajitas are the best most tasty delicious dish ever, so juicy and tender América would be lost without Rogelio's. Such a fun and friendly atmosphere and the service is spectacular! Will return soon. read more
