Food is excellent. Not often I think the rice and beans almost overshadow the main entrée. But here it's close. Great service. Definitely worth coming back again and again.

My favorite place in town. The Taco El Rey is properly named, and the chip salsa and green salsa are first rate.

If you follow along, you know we will travel for food...and for us San Marcos is pretty close and has a lot to offer in the form of Mexican Food. Place is pretty small, older but clean...And Packed!...We walked in around noon on Sunday, and its a seat yourself joint...spotted a table with 3 chairs and with 3 of us...perfect fit. Although service was pretty slow, these girls were Hustlin there buts off, taking orders and dishing out food as quick as they can...Several people walked thru the door looking for a place to sit...and they either left or put in a to go order. For us this was a good sign and trust me when I say it was worth the wait. We started with Chips, salsa and Queso...Everything was good, but make sure to ask for the bottled salsas as both are superior to the one on the table...its still good, but these are better. The food came out piping hot. Wife went with the chicken flautas, which were packed out, crispy and delicious...She used the bottled red for dipping. The GD went with the small quesadillas (3) with Barbacoa....Personally they looked like taco, she truly enjoyed them...Barbacoa was legit all day...super tender, not greasy and very good...I was really exited to get half of the last one because she was full. Mine was the Tejano plate, with uber tender Carne Guisada, 2 cheese enchiladas, killer beans, rice and a side of tortillas. Overall the visit was great....we would probably avoid this place on the weekend, but definitely want to try the breakfast menu as well.

We had dinner here on a Tuesday evening. We walked to the counter to order our food but we were told that we will be served at a table, so we sat down at a booth. The interior of the restaurant is clean. Our server took our order of the Al pastor plate and the fajitas. We were served chips and salsa and three large waters. The meals came out fairly quickly. We enjoyed the food with the exception of the beef, which was fairly tough to chew. The salsa and the flour tortillas were very fresh. One star removed for minimal table service from our server and tough beef.

The food is just wow! The mini tacos have ginormous flavor. The salsa is flavorful and hot. The music is a bit loud for my taste but it's good music. Parking is difficult when they are busy but that is San Marcos for you. The wait staff has never let me down. All around a solid choice.

Small unassuming place in San Marcos that serves a killer carne guisada, good cheese enchiladas, and wonderful sides of beans, rice, and salsa. The service is exceptional , friendly, and attentive. My one gripe is they don't have half n half or milk for their coffee only bad for you hydrogenated creamer.

I ordered steak chalupa and a gordita with beef fajita. It was not good. The gordita was fried too long and was very hard, I could not cut it without it breaking, so I tried to just break off a piece and it it that way, then decided to just eat the filling. The meat was so very awful. It tasted like it was too old and had a flavor i had never tasted. Same for the chalupa. My husband ordered tacos and could not eat his either due to the rotten meat taste. I do not recommend it.Service was good and fast.

Asked for queso and was given a cup of shredded cheese. Service is also very slow and I've never been given silverware on a to go order. Will not be returning and I recommend you don't either.
