    This is a family favorite in nogales, Sonora. El marcos has excellent service, the food is delicious. Closes late. Lots of parking space. They validate your parking ticket. Safe. Also hosts parties. Sometimes has live music when there's a party or event.

    Great food at reasonable prices. The best place to eat when visit Nogales. Will be back next time!

    We've treated ourselves to lunch at El Marcos during many work trips when we had at least 1.5 if not 2 hours to kill. They make the salsa fresh at the table, and they'll make it as spicy as you'd like. On our most recent visit, when 3 gringos asked for spicy, they didn't believe us. The first bowl was what I would call medium, but the second bowl, when we said spicier, was hot. You also get a "shot" of warm tomato soup to start. The menu has a little bit of everything. Sonora is known for their steak, but I can't eat that in the middle of the day and have any productivity when we go back to work, so I usually get something chicken. My most recent visit was pounded-thin chicken breast grilled with beans, verde sauce, and cheese on top - delicious! Still Mexican flavors, but not quite as heavy. They do a lot table side, and one of my colleagues always gets the shrimp that they cook at your table. To finish, they bring you a "shot" of a sweet cafe/kaluha/foam with cinnamon digestif. The perfect end to the meal. The parking lot is gated, but not expensive. They take AMEX.

    Great Mexican restaurant in Nogales. Food and atmosphere was awesome. I had the combination molcajetes and husband had a Sonoran steak. Beef on both was tender and delicious. Ordered spaghetti con mantequilla "off menu" for kid. Kid said it was 2000 out of 100. Oh and fresh salsa made table side! Will definitely come back.

    Delicious taco filling chicken/veg

    One of the finest restaurants in walking distance from our stay. We really loved Salsa that was made in front of us. We ordered chicken/veg tacos it came with freshly made corn/flour tortillas. We also ended up ordering some raw fish just sautéed in lemon as it was all written in Spanish, we did not realize that it's a raw dish. Chef cooked it for us, but it was over-cooked and we could eat the dish at all. We were given some bread on the house with some cream cheese inside and it tastes delicious. Over all, we had really good food.

    This is our new favorite fine dining restaurant on either side of the border! We took nine people on Sunday afternoon (February 10, 2019) to celebrate a birthday. The service was attentive but respectful. They were there if we needed them, but didn't rush us. We were offered menus in English or Spanish. Most waiters were bilingual. The dining room looks like you are outside in a beautiful piazza. Salsa is made to your taste at the table. You are given chips and salsa. We were also given little glasses of gazpacho as starters. The menu is diverse and creative. One of us received their dinner in a molcahete and it was boiling. All of the plates were beautiful and plentiful. After our meal we were given little glasses of a horchata like drink with a few drops of tequila in it. The children were given virgin ones. The final surprise was the bill. It was about half of what we expected. I cannot say enough about this restaurant...try it.

The website said it closes at 10PM but karaoke was happening and it looked like the kitchen was still working when I left at 10:20 It's kind- of that old place that all the locals like but they don't go often, and when they do go, they say , "Why don't we come here more often"? I ordered a delmonico steak , a 1/2 inch center cut rib for about USD 27, ordered medium came closer to USA medium rare (I fine that works out better in northern Mexico, if you want US med, order 3/4 - tres cuartos) , Steak was fabulous . Came with a salad of iceberg lettuce, tomato and some red cabbage undressed with a squeeze bottle of dressing brought to the table and fresh cut fries, which were not all that good, plus 1 big think 'sobaquera' flour tortilla, which is a bucket list must try in Sonora. I probably should have knocked it down to 3 stars for the service, but it was so busy and there are so few review I'll let it slide. I think US waiters are more frequent in checking in and the old school Mexican system is to call over the waiter when you want something. The prices on the menu are MX pesos, divide by 19 to get US dollars at the date of the visit. Location and parking, from the southbound lane of the main drag through Nogales heading southbound, pay close attention after the Burger King & KFC and really close attention passing the old bus station. Turn in to the dirt parking lot. IF you miss it it's quite a ways to U turn, then go north to the next U turn, then reapproach on the southbound lane. No access from Northbound lane. As of this writing, the address is correct but the Yelp location dot is wrong. I submitted correction on the app (it's not in the mall) and will delete this part when it's corrected. Oh - and great for larger groups.

Steak was exceptionally cooked, rice and beans were delicious. It even came with a mini chimichanga that was amazing. The wife ordered 2 shrimp tacos and the shrimp were jumbo size with great spices and they were a meal in its self. This place is amazing and they have a really huge bar area. Even though I don't drink. I will be returning real soon!! Service was great as well.

The place was pretty busy, every table pretty much has guests so we had to wait but the wait honestly was a couple of minutes. The staff had their hands full but you would never know it - they were super kind and fast with their service. It's a decent size restaurant with indoor seating and a patio and it was nice and clean. I was craving a nice cold salad and their salad bar hit the spot! everything was crisp, cold and fresh and the blue cheese was so good. I especially loved the tea and the sweet tea they both were super refreshing and even the water tasted so good. They serve the drinks in giant mason jars which I loved. Do not skip the Brussel sprouts or the green beans! We had steak, chicken fried steak, a burger and they even had my daughter's favorite, spaghetti, and it all was a hit for us. I was enjoying it so much that I forgot to take pictures of it! This place has me wanting to take the drive from Tucson to Willcox just to enjoy another meal!
