    My friends have been raving about this place for years. Finally decided to give it a try. You walk in and it's your typical bowl place. Reminds me of Cava. Decent amount of variety and for a great price. Refreshing whole food and filling. It's a good place to grab a quick lunch and customize your own bowl for an affordable price. Nothing crazy special but I would come back!

    Fireee!! My go to in undergrad! Love the customization of bowls! Similar to chipotle but more healthy and more options. Service always super quick which is convenient! This place is in a great spot too- love how it's right next to HOTWORX! The interior is fast casual vibes- with plenty of seating inside! The Bobcat bowl is a must!!

    This was my first time having fresco and it surely lived up to the hype! I made a custom bowl with the following ingredients: shredded kale, cilantro lime brown rice, cuban style black beans, citrus chipotle glazed tofu, roasted sweet potatoes, cherry tomato pico, charred corn, pickled onion, marinated garbanzos, cucumber, 1/2 order of sweet and spicy brussels sprouts topped with a fresh lime squeeze and a side of citrus cilantro vinaigrette! As tasty as it was, I'd probably get double vinaigrette next time to balance the dryness of some ingredients (garbanzo beans, etc) Unfortunately I can't speak on the ambiance of the restaurant as I got it delivered through DoorDash, but as for the service-- it didn't take as long as I'd expected! Will definitely order from here again. Healthy and fulfilling.

    We were looking for a healthy option in San Marcos. It seems like most options are pretty heavy and unhealthy. We passed by Fresco and were curious by the title so we looked it up on yelp. All the reviews were great so we were excited to try it. Absolutely love the flavor explosions of so much stuff going on, so many flavors. We were only in the area for a limited time but as soon as we found this place we came three days in a row. The tofu and the brussels sprouts are probably some of my favorite choices. They have some great options that are already designed but our favorite was the build your own. The fresh Fresca juices were amazing. They were definitely a highlight to the meal. Absolutely delicious and a must try. The bowls are big so you could actually eat them over to Mills but they're so delicious you're gonna wanna eat them as one.

    Delicious, colorful, healthy, super nice employees. It just wins. Thank you for doing an excellent job, Fresco. Props for all the vegan options

    Build your own bowl.  Allison chose everything!  I'm so grateful for this find today!

    God knew what I needed. He always does. So He led me here, my new favorite. This was my first time here so I didn't know what to get. I just knew that I'm all plant-based right now so no meat or dairy for me. I let Allison build my bowl for me. That was risky because of how picky I am. Like my kindred sister or something, she hooked me up with all my favorites. She just knew. That grain bowl was like having a Holy Spirit-filled revival service in my mouth. So. Much. FLAVOR!!! And hecka healthy I might do that again on my next visit if she's there. I'm so grateful for this find!!

    Loaded and delicious! Two types of salad, quinoa and rice and all the veggies. Love the cilantro lemon vinaigrette

    This place is amazing with the customization options! I'm on a fiber enhanced diet right now so I was able to pick some better options than other places that are similar to this business model. I enjoyed the variety of bases that they have. As you can see my bowl was runneth over...I went with a friend and she got less toppings same price though. Also adding in extra toppings isn't an arm and a leg. If I lived closer I'd definitely be going here on a weekly basis

    El hippie + roasted corn. I mixed the passion fruit/tajin with the pineapple/cucumber juices. So bomb!

The meat is seasoned and hits the spot every time - it doesn't matter what meat you get because it is all great! Tons of variation on their menu. I get the bowls with rice and lettuce a plus every topping under the sun and garlic/harissa sauce. Chicken is great, beef is great, and I could eat their falafel all day. I love getting the bowls with their various pickled veggies for the contrast in tastes. Dolma is delicious, the kebabs are delicious, the fries loaded with deliciousness are in fact delicious, and the prices for all dishes are very reasonable. Food can take a little longer, but only because the food is cooked fresh to order and not sitting in a metal container overcooking. Their pitas are stuffed to a brim with toppings and meat, and I could eat their hummus all day every day. Every time we come to San Marcos I have to try to force myself to try something new - it's hard, but we always find ourselves back at Halal Project happily full every time.

The veggies were, as always, beautiful and fresh. Halfway through I did remark to Mr R that Halal Project definitely has more flavor than Taziki, and he agreed. It did take a little longer than expected (mostly noticeable bc it's a day we had a plane to catch) but not outrageous and the results were indisputably worth it. Love to whoever wrapped these gyros sturdily enough to make eating them in the car NOT a complete disaster; we will continue to enjoy this local delight.

It's got a cool modern vibe going and TVs running sports. Fried chicken and burgers are the focus with some interesting menu items. Pies to round off dessert. I really loved my 1/4 chicken korean style (spicy, gochujung). I was a bit worried when the chicken came out quick but it was on point. On the sides front, the broccoli salad was stellar. Finally the key lime pie was solid. I will definitely be back for another bite next time I'm in town.

The mixed drinks I was told were 'very very strong', but for someone who doesn't drink very much I did not find them that way. First ordered the Szechuan fries, which were OK not great. There was nothing really about them that wanted me to keep on eating them. The flavor just wasn't there. I specifically went to this restaurant for the first time for the kimchi fried chicken sandwich. It was very tasty and I really enjoyed it. There could've been more kimchi on it. I think it's worth a try. Parking is not fun. Important to note that I am not only a very experienced cook, but I have eaten at restaurants all around the world and in the US.

Located off old ranch road 12, there's nothing flashy about this slot in an old strip retail building. It looks likes it been here a while and absolutely nothing has changed.. except maybe the prices. Nonetheless, it's very clean and maintained. The man behind the counter was friendly to me and the other customers. I ordered a traditional gyro that comes with fries and a soft drink. The food was ready in 10 minutes and delivered to my table. The gyro was perfect. The pita and meat portions piping hot and the lettuce, tomato, onion and tzatziki sauce nicely chilled and fresh. Each bite was consistently good. The French fries were hot and nicely seasoned. Very happy to have the pita shop hit the spot for a gyro craving.

    The falafel pita was extremely bland. The falafel itself tasted like lettuce no seasoning no…read morespices, nothing. The bread was chewy and tough to chew! It barely had any tahini in it. The fries are inedible, fried in old grease, flaccid and not crispy. Very soft to touch. Portion size of the fries was very limited. The fries look old since the color is very dark. They look like they were fried to the very minimum or not at all. I couldn't even finish them. They got cold very quickly. Just disgusting really. I emphasize that they taste old. I'm sure why this place has high reviews on Google or Yelp. They did not do a good job on my order at all. I'm from Houston and I've had better falafels with full flavor, but I guess since this is San Marcos they know they can slack off. I know my Mediterranean food and usually the cuisine has a lot of good spices! I won't be coming back. It was disgusting! I now have to eat at a better restaurant to cover the disgust on my palate.
