Made my first visit this week and was not disappointed! I had the tamales and they were delicious. The rice and beans were a good side, the chips and queso was satisfactory, and the sopapilla to finish the meal was excellent. Service was good and there was plenty of seating in a modern design. Lots of TVs around if you want to catch a game too. read more

San Marcos Mexican Restaurant - Sopapilla - Mexican Near Me - Newcastle, Oklahoma

Got a gift card for this place so thought why not.. worst decision.. food was awful. From the brown guacamole to the spaghetti sauce tasting salsa on my street tacos. They were nice enough to take the cheese enchiladas off the bill since clearly only one bite was taken. I do not recommend this place. read more

My first time. Loved everything from chips to three different types of salsa. The hot salsa was really good. I had ceviche and it was awesome! Service was great and bathrooms clean! read more

Always wanting to try new local places but usually disappointed. This is not as good as the other San Marcos even I feel like. Took for ever to get a waiter at our table and even longer to place our order. The food tasted like cheaply made Mexican food without much flavor. The restaurant looked nice and stays busy in the evenings! read more

We have been eating here since it opened. Always enjoyed the food and service. However, Last night we went to share fajitas. The server told me if I didn't order an additional entree that I would be charged for a setup. We don't generally share, but neither of us felt we could eat an entire fajita skillet on our own and decided to share an order of fajitas. We will just make the drive into Norman from now on. Unfortunately without any local competition the service here is changing. read more

My Friend and I eat at San Marcos here in Newcastle Okla. Several times per month. The food is usually very good and I consider it still very good. Reason for 3 star rating. I usually get the Broshetta. It is one of my favorites. About a week ago. We ate here again. I ordered the Brochetta as I most of the time order. It came out looked good until I started looking for the meat. I noticed it was anemic meat wise. 2 pieces of beef. 2 pieces of chicken 4 pieces of shrimp. I didn't say anything at the time. I thought maybe the person who prepared it either didn't know how many of each to put on and the person who cooked it didn't catch that it was short meat. It was very good but for thee price they charge it should have at least 4 piece of each kind of meat very minimum. I believe more since I'm a Chef. I know food costs. Veggies are not cheap but they are no where near the cost of meat. San Marcos charges a hearty price for this entree. I was greatly disappointed that I had very little meat on my Brochetta. I won't order it anymore. I'll go back to eating my super Burrito or anchor dish. I don't mind the price being a premium price. But if I'm going to pay that premium. I want to see price value equality. I'm not a vegetarian. The veggies are great tasting but for what they ask for the entree. It just isn't worth what you have to pay. I love San Marcos Mexican food. But there are other places less expensive for good quality of food. read more

San Marcos Mexican Restaurant - Mexican potatoes were very greasy. Brochetta, not much meat. I won't order that again. - Mexican Near Me - Newcastle, Oklahoma

Food was good, ambiance was relic and family oriented. Service was okay. Chips are thick style. Queso is spiced. House salsa is good while hot salsa has too much vinegar. Was not asked if we would like tortillas. Food was nothing special. It is a good restaurant for dining. Plenty of this to watch read more

The staff at San Marcos are increíble. We have visited for birthdays and Boy Scout get-togethers, and had a wonderful time. San Marcos is also so incredibly giving and donated food to the Newcastle racer band. The atmosphere is fun and inviting and the food is great. It comes out hot and the service is quick. I will definitely be visiting again. read more

San Marcos (Newcastle) started out great but they seem to be going downhill. The last two times we've had the fajitas, the meat was dull, grainy and tastless. (My husband accused it of being horse mea!). Maybe they've changed vendors or the meat cut, but they need to change back. PS: Try the San Marcos on SW 59th for great food and service! read more

Wow seems as my review mysteriously disappeared! Again the food was bland I ordered chees and onions enchiladas. Onions sprinkled on top. Rice was dry and not flavorful. Queso was bland. The salsa was ok once I added salt. Server could hardly speak English. Will not be back. I am Mexican I can show the cooks how to season your beans to make more flavorful. Way too expensive . I do not get the hype for this restaurant. You put Carlitos out of business maybe you should have hired some of the cooks to show you guys how to make some GREAR MEXICAN FOOD! read more

Amazing waitstaff, food was authentic and fresh! Try the ribs with red sauce ! From Texas and will be back

Great food, great service, enjoyed the atmosphere! Lots of tvs to watch sports and hang out!

It's a fairly standard Mexican restaurant interior. The service was very prompt and friendly. The food was OK but it seemed to me that everything needed more seasoning. It was just generally bland read more

Food was plain and not worth the price they had. Didn't come with the requests we had asked for. Didn't refill the drinks or anything, we asked for things and they were never brought. So would not recommend! read more

Best Mexican in town! It is new and has its ups and downs but the staff and management are wonderful! The food and drinks are great.always had a full drink. Setup is great read more

Love the food and the service! I usually get the Chalupas but there are three in an order so it's really more food than I can eat

Great service, great food. Worth the drive if you're coming from out of time. A lot of the negative reviews are from the other existing Mexican restaurants in fear of them going out of business. Reality is San Marcos is the best restaurant thus far in the Newcastle Area. I hate seeing the negative reviews simply because of small town politics. read more

Visited from Moore - for the price it should have been way better. Food was very bland and for it being lunch two people over $65 - unreal. Queso was not good at all. Disappointed! read more

Bland chicken burrito, terrible and bland chicken fajitas, Mexican corn is just bad corn with a dash of pico thrown in. Salsa was just chunky tomato sauce, and the "spicy" salsa was just a warm version of the other salsa. Ted's doesn't need to worry about losing any customers to San Marcos and even La Luna down the road is safe. read more

Service was great but food was below par. The first few time we are there, the food was delicious.... Now, neither of our meals were worth eating. I ordered the "Three Amigos" which includes three beef dishes. The ribs were so tough it was like eating beef jerky and the other two dishes weren't much better. My husband ordered the bbq tacos and again the meet was so dry it was literally hard to swallow. I hate to see a restaurant lower their quality of food once they become popular... very disappointing. read more

Service Animal Handlers Beware On 9/21/24 we met some family at San Marcos in Newcastle for dinner. As we were walking in, the owner was chasing down my 11 year old and 15 year old daughters demanding a "card" for my 11 year olds diabetic alert dog. It wasn't until we got to the table that I see him standing over my 11 year old daughter who was a nervous wreck, that I asked him what he needed. He said "I need a card! The health department doesn't allow dogs in here without certifications and cards!" These don't exist by the way, but I sure wish they did. I said "she is a service dog and she alerts my little girl to high/low blood sugar. That's the only two things you have to know. And actually, I don't have to tell you her medical condition at all, just that she performs medical alerting and she is in fact a service dog. He said "I've never heard of such a thing as a diabetic alert dog". I said ok have you heard of a Medical Alert dog?" He said "nope". He continued to demand a card. He was being super persistent while I told him service dogs are not certified. I said but I do have a card provided by the facility that trained Osaka with her information (although he cannot ask for this said card as it isn't something required or legally exists). I handed him the card and he stared at the front and said "well there are no laws on it". I said actually there are, they're on the back". He turns the card over and says "well there are no local laws on here". I said actually there are both federal and local laws listed and where to find them. Feel free to take it and take a picture so you can educate yourself". He then did walk away and I went up to ask him his name as if he was just an employee I wanted to be sure the owner could educate him. He replied with "I'm the owner that's all you need to know". Over and over again. Then proceeded to tell me I was being rude. We had multiple people in the restaurant approach us and apologize for his behavior and say how absurd it was. We did stay and have dinner (and the adults had margaritas as he will point out multiple times in the comments) as at this point I wasn't about to allow a bully to push us out and let my 11 year olds first experience be us leaving the facility. So all this to say, if you have a service dog, be ready for some discrimination and for a card that doesn't exist to be demanded. Be ready to potentially be kicked out if you don't have said card. Service dogs being allowed in public places such as restaurants is not up for debate. If you have an issue with the law, please take that up with the ADA, I did not make it. Osaka also is not required to wear a vest, but she proudly wears a vest everywhere that states what type of medical alert dog she is (Diabetic Alert Dog). - This pic is the vest she was wearing last night. I'm not asking anyone to not go to this place. I know their food is wonderful and we love their employees aside from now the owner. We just simply want awareness spread and for people to know what the actual laws are so someone else isn't bullied and approached the way we were. Here are two actual links with information from the ADA and Oklahoma Laws on service animals: https://oklahoma.gov/content/dam/ok/en/ddco/documents/publications/Service%20Animal%20Booklet.pdf https://www.ada.gov/resources/service-animals-2010-requirements/ read more

San Marcos Mexican Restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Newcastle, Oklahoma

Pork Meat was dry , tortillas had no taste, canned chili over thr chimachanga. We have eaten here 3 other times with no complaints. This will be our last time. read more

High expectations always when it comes to Mexican in Oklahoma. Salsa ok, cheese sauce below average, hot sauce fair and green sauce no. Had fajita chicken enchilada and cheese enchilada. Both bland. Chicken very dry and seemed unseasoned. Others got Mexican potatoes which were ok and daughter got chicken enchilada plate and was decent. Not one of the better Mexican restaurants which is disappointing. read more

So happy to have San Marcos in Newcastle. My husband and I have gone multiple times since they opened and always enjoyed their food & fast service. They offer free chips, salsa, queso and sopaipillas! They also have a diverse kids menu for picky eaters. I think they offer a great family atmosphere. read more

Extended wait time. Waited over a hour staff kept saying food was on its way and it never came. Poor customer service wouldn't advise anyone to eat at this establishment!! read more

The building and ambience is awesome!! We sat at the bar and didn't feel overly welcome - took a few minutes to get our drinks. The food was fair - the enchiladas were nothing to stand out sadly. The street tacos came out with salsa on them and the temperature of the meat was room temperature. A hair was found in the second taco and although they comped the meal there was no apology or visit from manager to make things right. As a former restaurant worker this was disappointing. We will likely not go back. I'll save my street taco craving for a food truck!! read more

Do not let the wait detour you (there's a reason they are busy!). We are trying to "eat the menu" because we go often and want to try everything. There has been a few things that I probably wouldn't order again - not because they were bad, just we've liked other things more. All the waiters have been great (remember they are busy, so if they don't remember if you sweet or unsweet tea, that's not bad service! The bar service is good, and they are super busy making drinks, taking orders, etc. So thankful they brought their family owned business to the Tri-City area. read more

San Marcos Mexican Restaurant - Probably my 6th time being here in a month, the service is great and the food is delicious!! Definitely 5 stars! - Mexican Near Me - Newcastle, Oklahoma

Great food, great service and good atmosphere. Our waiter was so helpful with the menu and was very patient with our big group.

The food was really good! I ordered the special on the back of the menu, which included a taco, cheese enchilada and chile relleno with a chile sauce. All very good! The Barbacoa meat on the taco was really amazing! Huge chips they keep bringing out. The spicy salsa is really good, with a smoky flavor and it comes out warm. I would go here again for sure! Great customer service! Our server was Daniel and he was great with really good recommendations. read more

This restaurant and staff are amazing. Very busy, Wait was expected due to it beinga great place. The owners walked around and made sure everything was as expected (Nice touch). Atmosphere was really cool and not what you would see at a traditional Mexican restaurant. I liked the vibe there. Definitely my favorite new spot for Mexican food. All the others in the area are ok at best. Hats off to this location!! read more

The queso is way to spicy!!! No Mexican cokes, disappointed. This place sucks! NEVER going back. Unworthy of 3 stars.

I wanna start by saying we were extremely excited that we were getting a new Mexican restaurant in Newcastle. We ordered to go food today, the food was horrible most of it was cold. Also the restaurant didn't give us any chips. won't be back. read more

Food was not good. Fish tacos were drenched in some kind of red sauce that tasted bitter. Second time to try. We are done.

We went last week and it was not bad, so we decided to go back. The second time was just awful. Hair in my kid's food, fajitas were bland and burnt, and my shrimp had a weird smell. We will not be back soon. The prices are too high for the quality. read more

It's hype I guess because this place is horrible. I had lunch wife my wife here. My chimichanga was the worst thing ever. So soggy and gross. Like it was from days earlier. The wait staff is not rude but not friendly at all. I have been there on a couple occasions now and not once have I thought it was worth it. Really peeps this place sucks. I have had better microwave chimichangas than want I had at lunch. Oh and while I was having lunch with my wife the waiter came by and took the chips like a q to get the heck out. I have never had that before. Bring back Carlitos for real. At least they were friendly. read more

A Mexican Restaurant serving a horrible margarita from a machine is a failure from the start. It didn't get any better food was not anything to prompt a return visit. Service was well below par. Server couldn't speak or understand English. He hovered to the point of nuisance when we didn't need him but needing something he was nowhere to be found . Tex Mex not Mexican. Not even good Tex Mex. One and done. read more

Love the new location. Excellent drinks and food. We had very prompt and friendly service. Lots of TVs throughout the bar area.
