Root Cellar Cafe - San Marcos

Unexpectedly good little restaurant, tucked away below street level. Great menu with some inventive food selections. Dishes are almost always tasty, well-prepared and served in a timely manner. Wait staff are courteous and attentive. Prices are relatively reasonable. Probably the best fine dining restaurant I 've found in San Marcos.

Our waitress was on point and was very cheerful. The food was amazing. The menu was wonderfully eclectic and an enjoyable change of pace. Everything was delicious.

All the dishes were pretty underwhelming. I wasn’t thrilled about the asparagus and the pork belly was frankly bad overcooked and underflavored. The mac and cheese was alright though. Not a bad experience overall but I wouldn’t come here with the food in mind.

One of the best meals we had in a while. Service from Ella was attentive and helpful when choosing our food and beers. Entrees and sides were great, especially the garlic scallion mashed potatoes. The Snicker Doodle bread pudding was some of the best we’ve ever eaten. Will definitely return when we’re in San Marcos at mealtime.

Sat outside on the sidewalk patio and ordered Caribbean Stacker with mashed potatoes at the recommendation of the server. The jalapeno pineapple sauce was not hot/spicy at all. To make it short, the sandwich was phenomenal.
