Been eating here my entire life. The service is great and fast and the cheese dip is outstanding. I moved away but love coming back.

Good food great cheese dip . Excellent service. Everything was fresh. Worth the drive off the interstate. Good to go with family. Something for every palette. Only one con, need to renovate bathroom. I'm a picky Eater and I was very pleased.

This is the place that made me fall in love with cheap hole in the wall Mexican joints. And this is DEFINITELY a hole in the wall. I can't vouch for the decor or ambiance, but the service is friendly and quick and the food is cheap and tasty!

First visit in a long time tonight and has benefited from a much needed refreshening of the interior. Looks great, good attentive service, acceptable chips and salsa. Ordered a grilled chicken quesadilla and it was very good. Give it a try.

Ok first off - don't go here because you want a great atmosphere. The food is good and the prices are even better. Two can easily eat for under 15 dollars and on Wed. nights they have a special - buy one combo and get the other for 25 cents. It's really a great deal. The also have really good margaritas, if you want it strong, then this is your place to go.

Since moving to Montgomery from VA last July, we've been searching for a good, cheap, hits the stop Mexican place just like our favorite back home.. Thanks to yelp, I stumbled across San Marcos.... and thanks to a dog who jumped on the counter and at our planned supper, we make the trek to San Marcos tonight... The chips and salsa were free flowing. The service was incredible, quick and efficient... something I feel like Montgomery typically lacks. The bathroom was squeaky clean, which was very impressive considering the traffic in and out of this little divey joint.. The best part-- Wednesday night, buy one dinner, get the 2nd for $1.25. My husband and I ate for, tax, tip included for $12.00. I hate tamales, rice and beans (and brought half home), he had chicken taco, beef enchilada, chili relleno, rice and beans. Everyone around us was enjoying a slushy margarita, which I will return for once this baby growing inside of me comes into the world... Definitely put this on to do list if you're searching for your cheap mexican place.. this is going to be our go to spot from here on out!

Won't be back. When we arrived it was hot inside the restaurant, so we knew the ac wasn't working properly. while we were eating there was water dripping from the ceiling onto the table and onto our friends food. The food was very mediocre & flavorless. Service was OK.

San Marcos offers average Americanized Mexican food at an ok price. I was driving through Montgomery with some friends on the way to the beach. We used our trusty Yelp app to find a place to eat while driving on the interstate. We stumbled across this restaurant. It had great reviews and was close to the interstate. You get chips and salsa as soon as you sit down. We got an order of cheese dip with jalapenos to share. I'm not sure it actually had any jalapenos in it as I didn't see any green specks and it didn't have a kick at all. For my entree, I got the combination with a taco, enchilada and burrito. All of them came with ground beef and the usual sauces. It was a lot of food. I made it through a lot of it before admitting defeat. I also tasted a friend's order of chicken fajitas. She requested cheese to be melted on it. Good call on her part! I thought that her entree tasted better than mine. Service was extremely slow. It took a really long time to place our order, get drink refills and to get our food. I'm not sure why it was so slow since the restaurant was not busy at all. Overall, a decent place for Mexican food. I can't tell you how it compares to other places in Montgomery as we were just passing through.

Good food. Good atmosphere. Excellent service. Good prices. My husband wasn't too impressed with his fajita nachos, but my chicken quesadilla was great. We also enjoyed the queso. We were just in Montgomery for the weekend, and I'm so glad I looked on yelp to find a local spot instead of a national chain that we probably would have gone to instead.

If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.
