San Marcos Mexican Raleigh

We also ordered the guacamole and chips as an appetizer, and the guacamole was really tasty! I decided to try their Cadillac Margarita, and I was glad I did; it was full of flavor and had a nice kick. It was definitely not one of those weak ones made with neon green artificial mix that I've encountered elsewhere. The atmosphere of the restaurant had some great touches, and the building itself boasts impressive architectural design. If you haven't been to this place yet, I highly recommend checking it out!

Not gonna lie, the loud obnoxious music and trashed bathrooms knocked this restaurant down an entire star for me so if you like ear-damaging trash music and toilet paper-littered bathrooms reminiscent of drunken nightclubs, then that might not be a problem for you. The food itself was okay—pretty average. I appreciate that there are two clearly labeled vegan items (in their own little vegan section even! , but I’d be hard pressed to recommend this place to other vegans. I had the vegan enchiladas which didn’t have very many vegetables inside but plenty of chunks of nopalitos on top, making the dish too acidic.

Has a nice area for outdoor seating, and every item from the vegan section of the menu (enchiladas, tacos, and fajitas are wonderful! Each dish uses vegetables (including cactus fun! and vegan cheese. Only three options in the vegan section, but they're good enough that I could eat each one every time I go.

Good food. overpriced. good service, great atmosphere.

Overall I enjoyed the place. Service is not the best and could be a little more prompt, however the food was amazing thus 5 5 rating. The inside is decorated nicely in a Mexican theme. Menu is huge with lots of things to choose from. They serve chips and salsa right from the start, we complemented it with queso, which to our surprise was quite small for 6 bucks they ask for it, however it was delicious. For main course I ended up getting Mexican grilled steak which was basically a taco like dish, the steak was combined with queso and oh my, it was sooo good! I'll be back to try something different here for sure.
