San Marcos - Hastings

On Thursday night they met. the restaurant was full! we ordered margaritas and sangria, which was fantastic! After reading some of the reviews, I was worried about it, but I'm so happy that I left. Our waiter told us that they were short occupied, so we had to wait a little longer, but the food and drink made it worth it. I'm back to the final!

My favorite Mexican place around 10/10 recommend san marcos when you try Mexican food for the first time or if you just ask Mexican. I recommend the Mexican style steak tacos. they are chips and salsa is also amazing. it is also a very picturesque restaurant and it is very affordable.

The salsa and chips were perfect! I wish I had brought to home (southfully michigan at ohio limit.) our waitress was polite and attentive. definitely recommend.

Excellent food, quick seating. The place is deceptively large. Though there were many cars parked along the side and back only room for maybe 4 cars in front the place had plenty of tables available. Many booths and also some tables. The menu is large and has all the usual Mexican foods. I have no idea what is authentic or not authentic whereas some who review Mexican restaurants claim to have this knowledge tho, I doubt it. The free chips and salsa were excellent. Chips were thin, crunchy, not salted. The salsa was slightly spicy, would likely appeal to all, and had chunks of tomato. The frozen house margaritas seemed large we ordered the small size , but probably consisted mostly of ice. Flavor was good, but did not seem to have much alcohol if any . You won 't get drunk on two of these. The shrimp fajita was great: $17 a fair price for many large shrimp, grilled w/ grill marks in an excellent brown sauce, plus the trimmings of rice, guacamole, beans, etc plus 3 small tortillas. There is no way you could wrap all the shrimp and other stuff into these 3 small tortillas. Not sure if you could ask for more tortillas, but they did not offer. Took home half of the shrimp dish, since this was a fairly large portion. The Pollo Barracho was also excellent: flat pounded chicken w/ other stuff I didn 't order this, so I can 't recall the dish exactly . The only quibble we had was that the lighting was so low. I could not read the menu without going over to the front window to get more light it was still light out, but after 8PM . The restaurant really should invest in some at table lighting for us folks who can 't read small print without lots of light.

This is a lovely restaurant. I visited in the evening with a friend and ordered coffee, and the waiter was kind enough to offer me a fresh brew, which I really appreciated. The food was absolutely delicious—the meat was cooked to perfection. They clearly know how to season their dishes well, making everything incredibly flavorful; it might just be the best restaurant meal I've ever had. The staff were very friendly and informative. We asked them about the culture of the waitstaff because the children we were with were taking a Spanish class and needed to experience an authentic Mexican restaurant for their homework. The waiter was exceptionally kind to them, and we were all thrilled with the outstanding service we received.
