The tacos and enchiladas were delicious and filling, with large portions. My daughter and I were completely happy until we decided to order fried ice cream. We got a delectable tortilla, covered in cinnamon sugar filled with very creamy ice cream and whipped cream and cherries. We were more than happy at that point. It was the best fried ice cream we have had. My daughter asked if it would be too late to change my yelp rating from four stars to five after this phenomenal dessert. Fortunately, it wasn't too late. ;) We decided we would come back in the future just for the dessert, which for nine dollars is easily enough for two people and better than fast food desserts that are nearby. No regrets at this lovely outing. Thank you, San Marcos. read more

Ate here on Sunday for lunch and it was delicious! I ordered the Texas Fajita with chicken, shrimp, and steak. My husband ordered the Tacos A La Diabla with steak strips. Both meals came out piping hot and quickly! The bartender was not very friendly, however, the manager was pleasant and came over and spoke with us for a bit. We loved the festive atmosphere and even with being busy, the noise level was quite peaceful. This was our first visit at this location and we will definately return but perhaps won't sit at the bar next time. read more

Decided to stop one night driving through Burlington on the way back home. It wasn't too busy, but it was busy enough for a Thursday evening. Iwas at by the bar and .y waitress was Lozano. She was very pleasant and attentive. I order the full portion of the Chicken Chimichanga with comes with 2 ... even though I should've not been get and just order the half portion which comes with 1. The Chicken Chimichangas came with a Lettuce salad with sour cream, guac, refried beans and rice. All in all, it was really good and staff were divisors walking around making sure everyone had what they needed! I will definitely be stopping by again! Until next time..... read more

San Marcos Mexican Restaurant - Burlington - TACOS DE CARNE ASADA - Mexican Near Me - Burlington, North Carolina

this is a Mexican restaurant in the middle of a large mall, it is frankly hit and miss. There are days the food is this world and other . The decor is delightful, however, the music at times can be a little over the top read more

First time going here and it was great. When I looked this up to write a review I was really surprised it doesn't have more stars. The service was incredible. It's a big restaurant with a lot of staff and everyone we came in contact with was so warm and friendly. Service was also really quick. The cheese dip and chimichanga were delicious. We didn't get drinks but we were near the bar and they looked great. The bar area also just looks cool. The decor here is really cool and gives the place a good vibe. Overall the food was good, maybe not as good as a couple of my favorite Mexican spots but still giving 5 stars because the service and vibes were top notch. read more

IYKYK..just in case you don't..this is my opinion of San Marcos Mexican Restaurant, was seated immediately (party of myself), waitress came immediately and took drink order, the menu had many options. I ordered a chicken dish with grilled veggies, it was tasty and I enjoyed it. The portion was good. The only downside was the utensils were not clean and I had to ask for napkins. read more

We passed by on a whim and the same mediocre service as last time. I don't think anyone smiles in here. It was empty with a lot of wait staff hanging around talking super loud. Again our server came by once and we had to wave her down. Today's food was only so-so. The carnitas tastes like baked pork loin and the rice was very hard. I forgot to mention the table was wet when we were seated and the waitress who came by to clean it was very angry when she asked where the table was dirty. I pointed it out to her and she cleaned it with such force and annoyance. Today's food 3/5 and service was a 2/5. read more

I ordered through door dash..So I do know that the food wasn't good and that the price was right

Food was very tasty. Service was fast. We did not have to wait on a table at 6:30 pm on a Friday night. It was very colorfully decorated and a little loud but not unusual or unpleasant. My only complaint is the amount of guacamole I got for $6.50. It was about half a cup. I have paid that at other restaurants and gotten way more. I would definitely eat here again. read more

This strip in Burlington has almost every restaurant ever known, so naturally, we found the Mexican place! They were busy and seemed to stay that way, so expect a wait. Both food and drink menus are extensive, offering a variety of choices. They bring chips and salsa as yoir sitting down! There was something about the chips, we could not stop eating them! Food prices were pretty on par, but drinks seemed pricey to me. This is not a place to come if you want a quiet, relaxing atmosphere. The restaurant is nicely decorated but very bright lights and the noise level is high due to families and kids throughout. Overall good experience, good quality good! Service was friendly and efficient, and the manager came out to the dining room offlteb to check on guests and help waitstaff. read more

Absolutely great service please ask for Franky he is the best and will make sure you got what you need.!!!

por el precio de 22 dólares y que el plato venga semi vacío, no lo recomiendo, es mi primera y última ves que vengo

The food was fair. I ordered the carne asada tacos and they were yummy. Though, I wish my sides were warmer, especially the beans. My friend decided on a chicken quesadilla but mentioned the wasn't enough cheese provided. Overall, the seasoning and flavors were good. The interior was decorated with some lovely art throughout. Upon being seated, I didn't feel crowded though several large groups were dining in during my visit. A friend and I decided to stop in for a late lunch on a Sunday around 1 pm or so. The service was swift and pleasant. I didn't catch our server's name but he made sure we were well accommodated. read more

My wife and I came here for lunch a few Sundays ago. This is one of our "go to" spots in Burlington. This time I tried some new things and not "the usuals" Wow! I'm glad I did. I tried the Chile toreado appetizer. Jalapeño grilled with onions lime juice and salt. It has heat (if you like it a little milder then remove the seeds). This was amazing! I was in the mood for steak so I had the carne en su jugo. It's strips of bottom round steak cooked in a green Chile enchilada sauce with other veggies. I highly recommend trying some of a the traditional Mexican food on the menu. I don't think you'll be disappointed. read more

We go here a lot. we love the food but in particular we went 2 days ago and my daughter spilled her entire cup of water on the table. The staff was so friendly and quick to help. They moved us over to the next table and cleaned the mess and even moved all of our stuff for us. They did not make us feel bad at all. Our food came out quickly and was delicious as always. Our waitress was so nice and friendly. read more

This place in nice; The decor is cool, service is pleasant, the music is a lil country, pop, r&b and all with a Latin spin. Of course the food is very good! The outdoor seating is small and bland, but present. The food is always consistent and what you expect. I always enjoy the shrimp ceviche with avocado. It's creamy and the shrimp have a nice sweet flavor. The whole fried fish is awesome! Super crispy skin and well flavored. It's married to a salad with pico and rice. The presentation makes it seem more expensive than it is. If you can eat the whole fish m, you are boss! cause it's a large portion. I love coming on Sunday/funday. The margaritas are pricey but good with a shot on the side your day is complete. If you are a soup fan: the tortilla chicken soup is complete. Full of chicken, rice, and veggies. A year round solid option. I pair it with a enchilada and I am sleepy when done. Done forget the birria tacos, that my next meal. Enjoy read more

San Marcos Mexican Restaurant - Burlington - Birthday dessert - Mexican Near Me - Burlington, North Carolina

We were sat quickly on a Saturday evening. Drinks were good and well priced. That's where the good stops. Our food order was all messed up and little was done to correct it. Kids meals and adult meals were not what we ordered. Seemed to bother our server to ask for condiments (that we asked for when ordered but were forgotten). Kids meal didn't show up with rice and beans as listed on menu. Several adults ordered the same meal and they all came out different. When addressed our waitress told us that's what you ordered. Oh, also in the men's bathroom there is NO TOILET SEAT! Huge inconvenience if you are taking a child to use the bathroom. Unfortunately a waste of money. Won't be back. read more

The food was amazing and it only took about 30 minutes.When we got are food we got greeted by both managers and they were very nice.I would work on cleaning the tables a little more though.But other than that everything was amazing and clean. read more

In my journey to find some authentic Mexican food reminiscent of West coast quality, I tried San Marcos out. The atmosphere of the place was cool and the wait staff seemed accommodating and attentive. The first thing I noticed upon being seated was that there was a large tear in the seat at my booth. Things happen, but this seemed like it had been neglected for so long and they didn't seem concerned to repair it. Just a bit odd for a seemingly nice building, otherwise. The food was fair -- about the same as what I've had thus far. What is up with all of the nacho cheese type sauce on the burritos? Is that a Carolina thing? Only a month here, and so far, every Mexican burrito has had that. Y'all know 'wet' typically means red enchilada sauce, right? Not nacho cheese on everything. It's almost as if they use the nacho cheese to make a bland burrito have some flavor. Food was fair, prices were fair, but I am not eager to return here unless someone absolutely wanted to go and drag me. read more

I ordered the Pollo Yucatán. Super super delicious. I wish it wasn't as good so I could experiment with other things on the menu but all I want is more Pollo Yucatán! The chicken was cooked to perfection, juicy, delicious marinade. The shrimps were yummy, even the beans, rice, and tortillas were excellent! Really nice to-go container so everything doesn't get smushed together. Highly recommend this place, highly. read more

I'm in town visiting with family, and I decided to order from this spot. Let me just tell you, it was totally worth every penny! I loved all of the items that I ordered. The only thing is that I'm not a big fan of the flour tortillas, but everything else was super delicious. Everything was good, and I would definitely drop in again. I'd even recommend to my family that live here, to check it out if they haven't already! read more
