Best Traditional Mexican Restaurants in San Marcos

WOW!!!! 🤩 All the food is super creative, nothing just average here! Try the “artichoke bottoms” (really)!!!

We had a fabulous anniversary dinner with excellent service on the beautiful patio. Thank you, Ponto Lago, for a memorable meal!

Always great food and service. Outdoor dining is lovely, especially on a sunny day.

Wonderful happy hour drink choices and tacos. The shrimp tacos were grilled on corn tortillas and very tasty. I also had the lobster bisque. It had actual lobster meat and a rich, creamy bisque flavor. I could drink it, it was so good!! The chicken piccata was a breast but not pounded much, so less ‘crispy’ than some versions. It was still flavorful and cooked nicely. We had a great server. She knew the menu and we truly enjoyed chatting with her. Something for guests to know when requesting patio seating- there were multiple dogs on the patio. All were well-behaved, but for my friends that are nervous around dogs, you’ll want to request an inside table.

Miguel’s is always good, any location. The best Mexican sit down restaurants serve chips and salsa when you’re seated. Miguel’s serves every patron chips, salsa and QUESO DIP!
