    Came here to take advantage of the BOGO check in deal and was promptly taken care of, the bartender Maury is cool. Cold drafts

    Not fun when Mikes not there. Non smoking bar but you can smoke on the terrace. Too bad that.

    Not very people, outdoor seating, TVs, and friendly staff (Mike was awesome), this is the place.

    I recommend this restaurant if you're ever visiting Carson City…read more Hours: Daily, 11:00 AM-9:00 PM Happy Hour: 4:00 PM-6:00 PM Parking: Free with plenty of spaces in the shopping complex. Ambiance: Relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere with Mexican-inspired décor and cultural touches throughout the restaurant. There was a steady flow of guests, giving the place a lively but comfortable feel. Restrooms: Clean and decent, although a bit outdated. Service: Friendly but somewhat disorganized, possibly because we had a large group. The waitress initially told me the bartender was busy, but later realized she had never entered my drink order. She apologized and removed it from the bill. She also brought the wrong entrée for one of my friends but corrected it promptly. On a positive note, she graciously accommodated another friend's custom drink request even though it wasn't on the menu. Chips & Salsa: The first basket is complimentary. We were told additional baskets normally have a charge, but during our visit we were offered unlimited refills. Food: Fresh, authentic, and generously portioned. Recommended dishes: Salmon Atlántico, Fish Tacos, Artichoke Dip, Enchiladas, and Bistec.

    We always love our meals at San Marcos. Tonight was paint night here. We had just tacos and coconut…read moreshrimp. The each of the proteins in the tacos were cooked perfectly and flavorful with sauces that complemented them. The coconut shrimp were mouth watering good! Unfortunately tonight we only had water as every drink we ordered they were out of (including margaritas ). We definitely will be back and hopefully the bar will be better stocked.

Some of them come across as overly cocky and could use a reality check. We've been here several times, trying to give this place another chance, but it never succeeds. On top of that, the website is outdated and the merch selection is lacking. This place has real history that should be highlighted, not overshadowed by individual egos. At the end of the day, your job is customer service, plain and simple. If you don't enjoy doing that, it might be time to step aside and let someone with a better attitude take your place.

No matter. there are plenty of other drinks on the menu that will assuage your herbivorous sensibilities. note as well but there's a sign saying only service dogs are allowed. I travel with my service dog, shown in these photos. but if you have a dog who's mainly a pet you may need to leave them in an environmentally controlled vehicle or at home. Well the ambience can't be beat here. The ceilings are surprisingly tall for someplace of this age. There's no shortage of things to look at on the wall. Very interesting. Best of all there is a lovely vanilla smell permitting every corner of the venue. I don't know if it's a candle or essential oil or what but i like it!!
