We went in specifically for birria tacos and while they DID have the birria meat, it was not served the way it's traditionally served. We were wanting the taco to be cooked in the sauce and served with the broth for dipping. Customer service was interesting. The woman who served us seemed very impatient with us as we ordered and when we asked questions. The food was fine, just not what we were looking for. read more

3.5 overall. It was good. Pretty clean and well put together interior. Nice and tender meat, yummy salsa bar. I was put off by the fact that they were out of a lot of menu items including their asada fries. They said they were out of cause they didn't have fries but then they had a big freezer that is supposed to have popsicles but that was used as storage for extra ice and several visible bags of fries... I thought the taco price was a little steep for how small they were (2.25 each) but the birria was really good (no consume as an FYI). The quesadilla was pretty disappointing. There wasn't a ton of meat, it was a generic tortilla that didn't have any fillings past half way and was over priced. I have now been to every taco shop in Provo and most in Orem and I would put this Third or Fourth after Don Joaquin's (classic), Red Tacos (consume and uniqueness), and La Caterina (price). read more

The restaurant has a cute interior and nice chairs and tables. They were out of a lot of their menu items but it was an hour before closing and the weekend so I'll give them a pass. The price is okay but could be a bit cheaper. However, the need to add labels for what salsa is what and which is hot, super hot, or mild. Also, the staff needs some training on how to be more nice to the customer. The lady seemed to be short and annoyed with the customers. She also wanted a member of my party to spend more money to run the card as credit instead of fixing how it was entered in the register. That's not appealing and so I probably won't be going back. read more

A lovely little taco shop! Reasonably priced, great flavors, & friendly workers. The environment inside is very relaxed but fun and has lots of personality. The sauce and vegetable bar are a big plus as well. Will be back! read more

Taqueria San Marcos - Al Pastor tacos, salad - Tacos Near Me - Provo, Utah

Just your average street taco. We also tried the asada quesadilla. My husband thought there could have been more cheese on it. Food came out quickly and was hot. Salsa bar was simple. Felt a little weird when we were eating and the staff, who were most likely all family, were sitting around us at the tables hanging out. read more

Taqueria San Marcos - Tacos Near Me - Provo, Utah

I walked over here from three train station on a Tuesday and had some great tacos. I'd heard some complaints about them not honoring their 99 cent special but this was not the case. I asked which ones were included in the special and the lady named off a couple including pollo, al pastor and chorizo which is what I wanted. Tacos were made quick and were hot when I got them. I added what i wanted from the salsa bar and headed back to the station with the goodness. I will definitely be back for more. read more

Taqueria San Marcos - 99 cent tacos: pollo, al pastor and chorizo - Tacos Near Me - Provo, Utah

I like supporting small mom-and-pop's. But this taco shop is like so many others and doesn't seem to have a distinct personality that makes it memorable enough to return. Tacos fairly good but so are 100 other places in the valley. The only thing distinctive that I remember is the very odd door opening mechanism that needs to be fixed. read more

Fun little joint to stop into for some great street tacos. Very simple menu - assortment of street tacos, quesadilla, special night they have enchiladas and menudo. One really cool thing they offer is fresh water made with coconut milk. Definitely recommend trying it! Ordered asada, chicken, and chorizo taco. The hot sauces have incredible flavors and there isn't one that's too hot, but don't get me wrong they have a kick yo them. One minor note, the door is really hard to open and close, but I'm sure they'll fix that. read more

No big fan of this place at all cpl days ago I went and the food doesn't have any flavor pretty plain food, the cooks and the owner don't even wear a mask which made me upset the cook charge for our food and after that she went and started cooking my meal so I was like for me the mask and washing your hands is very important so I'm not coming back to this place read more

This is my favorite taco place in Provo. Although the menu has a lot less variety than Don Joaquins, what they do, they do well. The lengua melts in your mouth and the asada is flavorful. It is a very small space, but if you go on weeknights it's never crowded. The only downside is that they only serve Pepsi drinks. read more

I'm so glad they are open during Covid. Its a small restaurant but its an awesome location, only one block from the train station and a few blocks from the newly renovated temple. Great food. I've tried almost everything and its all good. I suggest the carne (beef) burrito because its cooked to perfection every time, and comes with a side of rice. Inside- carne, cheese, rice and pico de gallo. You can't go wrong with any of the street tacos, but my favorite are the Carne and Pollo (chicken). The sides come in individual to go containers during covid but normally they have a salsa bar with all the toppings to add as you wish. The Torta (Mexican sandwich) is good with carne, beans, cheese, lettuce and tomatoes. Delicious. Enchiladas, my grandma's favorite, are good but are different than traditional ones I've had. They are cheese enchiladas in red sauce with Pollo and potatoes as sides. Its a great plate for the price! They have fountain drinks and also a cooler with Mexican coke, fanta etc made with real sugar!! Additionally, they have an ice cream/popsicle freezer if you bring the kids. Overall great experience. Definitely recommend for a quick bite or to go plate read more

I liked this place but I didn't love it. I went with some friends from work for lunch and we all liked our tacos. There isn't too much to say besides that. I feel like they had the typical assortment of meats at pretty much typical prices...actually I would say that the prices were a bit higher than some of the best taco places in the valley. One of the highlights were the grilled onions that they included at the salsa bar. The location isn't great and I didn't leave with the wow factor, so hence the 3 stars. If someone suggests going back I will, but there are better taco places around. read more

Tried this place out with a friend. Was not disappointed. Normally I am not a street taco fan because of how small they are, BUT, the guy running the show here loads them up. He is great, and he knows how to cook meat. Very juicy and flavorful. Great sauce and toppings bar. Good price for each taco. Recommend for that late night craving. read more

Absolutely my favorite place for street tacos. The beef tacos have the perfect char on them.

Good food & good prices. Very friendly & nice clean dining room. I had the Asada & Al pastor tacos & both were delicious.

Tacos are soo tasty. A nice place to sit down and enjoy lunch. Their carne asada was really good and the prices were right. Wish they had a more stocked salsa toppings bar. We came at the end of the lunch rush but we will be back read more

I'm with Young in this one!!! This is THEE BEST taco shop in Provo!! Any taco, anytime you will be so pleased!!! The food is made quickly and the service from the workers, they are so kind and friendly! Dear Taqueria San Marcos, please never change. Thank you, the people of Provo. read more

If you want to be took advantage of. Then this is the place. Come on down. I've only been here twice. The first time was to try it out on taco Tuesday for 99 cent tacos. However I arrived after 8 pm and was informed that the special is from 2-5. So I returned this Tuesday at 4:30 pm. But was charged full price and when I asked about it I'm now informed that the special ends at 4. Seriously. It changed since last week. Ironically enough. Both times and all information came from the same employee. The foods consistency isn't the same either. And this trip our order came out wrong. It was corrected but you can tell they didn't want to correct the issue. I asked for my receipt but it's only for the total no breakdown. But she was quick to go back to her computer to check the order. Again this place will take advantage of you and cannot be trusted. So proceed at your own risk. I'm done here. read more

Best tacos I have had so far in Provo. BETTER than Don Joaquin. The al pastor tacos are more tender and have more flavor. The Asada tacos are also more tender with better flavor. Great salsa although I only tried the mild. Prices are also amazing, $1.50 for one taco. They also have taco tuesdays and the tacos are only a dollar! DEFs gotta check this place out! read more

This place is the real deal- they have a good variation of authentic Mexican tacos and a few other items. The Nopal Taco uses cactus instead of tortilla my choice of meat was carnitas came with cotija cheee, créma avacado and I added grilled onions and pico from the extras bar- divine read more

Pleasantly surprised- my wife and I were driving by and decided to stop. With no expectations, it turned out to be great (for the type of restaurant). If you likE street tacos, this is a must try. read more

I love this place every time I go. Great food and portions for an even better price. The food is authentic, I love it every time I go.

Excellent street tacos for a great price! Love the salsa bar with fresh grilled onions!

The Asada and Al Pastor tacos were good but the carnitas meat tasted rotten. One bite and I was done.

Tacos were delicious! Especially the al pastor which was topped with pineapple. I also got the carne asada and chorizo sausage which were good as well. You can't beat the value on these tacos and overall the experience and feel the place was bustling yet not unpleasant. The condiment bar with its salsas and topping was fresh and maintained even though it was very busy and lunch time. Definitely a mainstay. read more

Always great! Fresh carne asada, amazing homemade salsa and taco Tuesday, need I say more?

Great service, got the food fast, Not a whole lot to put in the tacos but all around a good meal. Tortillas were amazing!

Amazing tacos! Amazing service! Tried it tonight on a whim with my family and we were blown away! The chorizo tacos are to die for! Tacos are my favorite food and this hit the top of the "best tacos" list in my book! HIGHLY recommend read more

I love this little place! It has the best tacos in Provo/Orem area. Fantastically prices, quick and so tasty. Go support this local business! read more

Best authentic Mexican tacos in provo hands down. Much cleaner and tastier than Don Joaquin. Family owned restaurant and really good service

Great variety of tacos plus enchiladas and quesadillas. Food is always hot and fresh. Haven't had something I haven't liked yet. Very clean spot with very friendly crew. Prices are great too. read more

Heard about this place from a fellow co-worker that loves Mexican food, especially tacos. She knows I love them too and is always looking for new places out here in Utah. It's difficult to find a solid taco out here.. but this place gets the job done and just a little bit more. Huge difference is they have their asada charred on the grill, not skillet. Huge difference against Don Joaquin. This place destroys it, so go check this place out! read more

Amazing Asada Tacos! Nopal tacos are okay. The Lengua tacos: not my favorite. But the asada tacos, OMG. The owner is super cool and friendly. He even gave our table of 5 people three enchiladas for free. Also, they have a punchcard, and you can get 3 tacos for free after you 10th visit. read more

Excellent street tacos! Discovered this gem on accident, now I have a go to. Best El Pastor I've had in a while.

They have amazing tacos! I highly recommend them if you are looking for good street tacos in the area. They have great prices and a delicious selection of toppings and sauces on the taco bar. read more

DELICIOUS TACOS !!!! their street tacos are incredible. Mouthwatering. The service was fast. The workers were friendly. And the tacos are so good ! read more

It was just ok... tacos were good but the meat wasn't fresh and beans were well barely there but the place has potential.

This place is very good. I have tried most of the tacos and have not been disappointed. The people are nice and the service is fast and the prices are very reasonable. I really hope this place sticks around if they do I predict they become a provo staple. My only complaint is that the tap water tasted really bad. But definitely give this place a try. read more

Solid servings and cheap. Awesome restaurant, bad location. These guys would thrive in a better location

One of my favorite taco shops around. The meat is quality and they give a great amount in their tacos. Their sauce and condiments bar is superb. Incredible. read more
