Prik Nam Pla

Some of the best Thai I've ever had. The service is wonderful and everything came out quickly even though they were busy. I love that you can also grocery shop in here! We tried the spring rolls 8/10, Tom Kha gai 10/10, pad woon sen 9/10, chicken fried rice 9/10. I drove 45 minutes to have Thai food, and I'll do it again for this food!!

I was excited to try out the Thai food scene in San Marcos and came across this Asian supermarket with a restaurant in it, I was excited to try it out! I liked the ambiance of a family-owned market/restaurant. Pad Thai - This wasn't the best Pad Thai I ever had, but I loved the flavors in this dish. It was too sweet for my palate, but I could still enjoy the different flavors and textures. Loved the crunchiness of peanuts in this dish! A plus - this was a huge portion!Overall, I would definitely come here again and try some of their noodle soups!

I was struggling to find Asian markets or good Asian food in San Marcos. The closest Asian markets I knew of were in north Austin - so far! I needed to prep food for Lao New Year, and heard about this place. I went and I was surprised with how much it had in this tiny market. I was so happy! I got majority of my ingredients from here. It was nice being in a locally owned Asian market, where I haven't really seen them in the San Marcos area.Will definitely be coming back!

To say I was pleasantly surprised to find this place is an understatement. They have the best bowl of beef boat noodle soup that I've had since Thai Town Los Angeles, CA. I wasn't expecting much from this area and was searching for some noodle soups after hitting up the premium outlet. We are so happy we found this hole in the wall place and had a chance to try their food. Items ordered:* beef boat noodle soup $12.99 - 5 star, absolutely nothing I would change about this dish* tom yum noodle soup w/pork $12.99 - 5 star, love everything but wish they would give a side of peanuts or add it to the soup * pad kee mao w/chicken $12.99 - 4 star, lacks a little bit of salt and seasoning. This fell a little more on the blander side. Try one of their steam buns. I had the bbq pork one and went back for three more before I left. They were out of Thai tea and Thai coffee. Aside from purchasing directly from the market, they offered hot tea or water from the kitchen station. Every dish came out one at a time but they provided complimentary wonton chips. This is a mini market that sells some essential Asian groceries with a few tables inside for dine-in. The cashier appears to also wait on tables and might also be the chef! I noted many people ordered for takeout while we were waiting on our food. The downside is that they have 5 tables for dine-in and the food does take some time to prepare. If dining in, prepare to wait for some delicious eats!

I moved here from California about a year ago, and this has been my favorite Thai spot I've tried since I moved to San Marcos. I have to say, from the very first time the food has been remarkable. The restaurant has a very relaxed ambiance, though it is small, and the dining area is just off the market. The market has a lot of great options for stored items as well as fresh produce typically not found here in town. The service is wonderful, as they are always very kind, and the food comes out relatively quick considering the care most of these dishes take. My favorite entree is the Tom Kha soup with chicken and fried tofu served with a side of rice. It is consistent every time, and reminds me of the Thai food I used to enjoy back home with family. The complimentary fried wontons and sweet and sour sauce is the cherry on top when visiting this gem.

This place is consistently good! It does take a while to get your food but it's worth the wait!

Fantastic every time- you can't go wrong with any of the dishes- The Tom Kha is PHENOMENAL I would drink it instead of water if I could. Love that it's a little store on the inside as well- While my food is cooking I mosey around and find other delicious things to buy and take home with me. They don't take AMEX tho but idc i love them anyways

Food was excellent and very fresh. Tables and chairs and setups very clean. However, floor could use a good scrubbing. Hope the kitchen is cleaner. I'd probably get my order to go next time. Service was fine.

This a a great mom and pop place. It is a grocery store that also has a kitchen. It isn't fancy and they have added some tables . It started out just some hot food to go and now days it has a few small tables. I almost hate to post a five star review because this is a hidden gem I want to keep for myself. However the owners are so sweet and kind and their food is delicious. This past weekend, I took my parents here. My father had been stationed in Thailand many years ago and knew Thai greetings so when the owner came out and my father greeted him in Thai it created a nice exchange. Apparently my Dad's accent was pretty good. It was a joyful lunch. And the food was fantastic! Over the past years I've eaten most of the menu. My personal favorites to eat are the Panang Curry and Jungle Curry. My Dad loved the fried rice.

You can't get anything this good in a 50+ mile radius. So delicious, authentic, and the closest we've found to what we actually ate in our time in Thailand. Don't even think about going to any other Thai places around (because they are not great compared to Prik Nam Pla) I will leave this town if anything happens to this wonderful establishment!
