    Good coffee and Lunch with my dad
    Joe I.

    This was the San Marcos IHOP. They were very fast and friendly my waiter. Sebastian was really nice. I took my dad who is a Korean veteran and everybody was really nice to him and thanked him for his service in the military. That was really nice. We got the chicken fried steak. It was perfect. I got fries andmacaroni and cheese my dad had green beans and mashed potatoes gravy had a good flavor and the chicken fried steak was tender if we are ever back into Sanmarcous area will definitely get to go back to this IHOP

    I had the Lemon Ricotta Mixed Berry and my husband had Blueberry Pancakes

    I haven't stepped foot in a ihop in years. The one in Kyle and in SanMarcos closer to campus are so gross. When my husband suggested this for breakfast I was very hesitant. But I was surprised at how well run this one is. It was very clean. The staff was so kind. And our food was really good. And oddly the coffee was really really good. We will for sure be coming back to this location.

    Great food.

    Second time here... Forever customer!…read more Food is FRESH and full of flavor. Service with heart, portions are good. It's a cute little place in Downtown San Marcos, and the atmosphere reflects the city!

    My fiancé and I were visiting San Marcos and stopped by the outlets. We weren't sure where to go…read morefor dinner in that area, so I did a quick search and found North Street Curry Shop, and it ended up being such a great find! We were excited to see that they had a few vegan options, which can be hard to come by sometimes. The open kitchen was fun to watch, and the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. You can really feel the positive energy as soon as you walk in. I ordered the Chana & Spinach, a traditional chickpea curry served with coconut rice, green chutney, and crispy papadum. It was delicious and definitely had some heat to it, which I enjoyed. My fiancé got the Curry Trio and loved every bite. We also shared the vegetable samosas, which are vegan, and by "shared" I mean I ate 2 1/2 and he had 1/2 ;) plus I ordered a Diet Coke. There wasn't a vegan dessert option, but my fiancé ordered the pistachio dairy pop and loved it. Everything was flavorful and fresh. My only small suggestion would be just a little more rice with the Chana & Spinach dish, but honestly, that's a minor thing. They have a nice outdoor seating area, which is perfect if the weather is warm enough. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and we'll definitely be back. Highly recommend if you're in the area!

    Tarbox & Brown at Kissing Tree is one of the true standouts in San Marcos. Although Kissing Tree…read moreis a 55+ community, the restaurant itself is open to all -- and thank goodness, because the food and service are simply too good to keep behind any gate. The kitchen consistently turns out high‑quality dishes made with fresh ingredients, and you can taste the care in every bite. The chef has clearly built a knowledgeable, confident staff who deliver a smooth, top‑tier dining experience from start to finish. I've eaten here many times, and nothing anywhere has matched their "Par 3" plate -- chicken salad, tuna salad, and egg salad served on crisp lettuce. Simple, fresh, and absolutely unmatched. The staff is always pleasant, attentive, and genuinely enthusiastic about the menu. They're not afraid to tell you what they personally enjoy, which makes the whole experience feel warm and authentic. San Marcos is incredibly fortunate to have Tarbox & Brown. In the two years I've been a regular, they've only continued to raise the bar -- and that says everything.

Everything came out timely & the portion sizes were good. I got the French dip grilled cheese which was ok however I wish there was more cheese in it. Besides that everything was great, would recommend!

    There are meals you enjoy... and then there are meals that make you pause mid-bite and question…read moreevery other fried chicken decision you've ever made in your life. Gus's World Famous Fried Chicken? Yeah. It's that kind of place. We went for the chicken sandwiches and I need you to understand--these were not just "good." These were ruin-other-places-for-you good. Crispy, juicy, perfectly seasoned... the kind of sandwich that makes you immediately start planning your next visit before you've even finished the first one. Now let's talk sides, because they did not come to play. Coleslaw (mine): fresh, balanced, actually flavorful (which is rare because let's be honest... slaw can be a gamble). This one? Solid win. Fried okra (my friend's): I am extremely picky about fried okra. Like, I side-eye most of it. But THIS? Golden, crispy, not a hint of that weird slimy nonsense. It was so good we ordered more to take home... which tells you everything you need to know. And because we clearly make excellent life choices, we shared a chess pie for dessert. Rich, sweet, buttery perfection. What really tied it all together though? The service. Warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming without being over the top. The kind of service that makes you feel taken care of, not rushed. Bottom line: Every single bite was worth every penny--and honestly, I would've paid more and still walked out happy. This is one of those spots that doesn't just meet expectations... it casually exceeds them and then sends you home thinking about it later like a crush you're not over yet.
