    Lovely atmosphere with even lovelier service. The entire staff was attentive and delightful. The food I must say was absolutely delicious! I can't wait to go back and try something new.

    Beautiful and tasty Mojito

    I was blown away by El Ciclo! It was my first time visiting Tecate so I didn't know what to expect from the food scene here but wow! The food was so amazing! We stopped by for lunch and got salads, some small bites and a taco plate. Everything was super tasty and seasoned so well. I would love to come back and try their dinner entrees! Service was a little slow for it being relatively dead but after receiving our drinks you can understand way. The attention to detail on our cocktails were so adorable. From little shaped hearts to beautiful accompaniments. I would definitely visit again when I'm in Tecate!

    If loyalty had a flavor, it would taste like San Marcos Restaurant in Tecate BCN Mexico. I…read moreabsolutely love this place. I've been coming here twice a month for 15+ years, which in restaurant years is basically a lifetime achievement award. That kind of consistency doesn't happen by accident--it happens because the food shows up, the service shows up, and the place stays clean, organized, and dialed in. Bang for the buck? Elite. You get quality service, properly prepared food, and a dining room that doesn't feel like a science experiment. It's a win-win-win-win-win for me and my extended family. My friends love it. My extended crew loves it. Everyone loves it... except Ron--also known as Jose, also known as Lil Ronny. Ron is the only friend I know who has beef with San Marcos Restaurant, and honestly, that tells you everything you need to know about Ron. It's 2026--respect quality of service. Ron and his cohorts can go munch on their chicken nuggets and fries elsewhere. Bottom line: if you're in Tecate BCN Mexico, and want reliable, delicious, clean, no-drama food in a place that's been quietly excellent for years, San Marcos Restaurant in Tecate is the move. Come hungry. Leave happy. Please don't bring Ron--he really doesn't know what he's talking about. Highly recommended. Jordan

    The new location is no longer in downtown Tecate; it is now situated in a residential area (see the…read morephoto for reference). We thoroughly enjoyed both the service and the delicious food during our vacation. The restaurant emphasizes locally sourced, seasonal ingredients, and each dish was thoughtfully explained to us, which enhanced the overall experience. Expect to pay around $100 USD per person for the eight-course meal. For us, dining here was a special treat while on vacation, and we left feeling completely satisfied. In fact, we were glad we chose the eight-course option, as the ten-course meal would have been more food than we could comfortably enjoy. Enjoy your Top Chef dinning experience!

    Online info is incorrect - it cost three times as much as listed - nearly $100, vs. an expected…read more$34. (This can only minimally be explained by the exchange rate. The real issue is that there was no 4-or 5-course selection, only 8- or 10- -- and the prices for those were much higher than listed online. Google also had incorrect location.) Also (and I cannot say this strongly enough), do NOT go if you are vegan. They say they can accommodate vegans, but they 100% cannot. The server didn't seem to know what a vegan is (he asked if I could eat cheese or honey - he also seemed unclear about which restrictions were mine, which were my guest's.) More to the point, at least three of my courses were avocado, two were lettuce. They sometimes just removed items, with no substitute - and the substitutions were a cruel joke. The soup came with a couple of croutons in place of my friend's seafood mousse. Main dish was a piece of grilled lettuce (my friend had a very carefully prepared salmon). Dessert was a couple of sliced strawberries in place of cheesecake. (And included a gelatin item which I'm pretty sure was not vegan.) Again, this all cost nearly $100. For one course they inexplicably split my dish into two parts to accommodate my friend's diet. (There was no reason to split mine, & it was not made clear I should put it back together until my friend asked about it, only AFTER I'd eaten it. Again I felt like my restrictions were not really considered and planned for.) As to ambiance, the place is way too warm because it's open to the kitchen. The sauces were tasty, and my friend did enjoy his meal - but really, if someone makes a reservation & says they're vegan, they need to write back "im sorry, we cannot accommodate you." They also need to correct their online info (maybe establish a website), including offerings, price, and location. (They appear not to have a website. I see that their instagram page has the correct location, but there is no info about offerings or prices.)
