With so many options to choose from in San Marcos, I have been on a quest to find the top taco…read moreshops throughout town. I stumbled in here on a whim and was glad I did. Service was quick and the food was amazing. The dining area is clean and comfy. Salsa bar was filled with all the fixings. My carne asada burrito was huge and the meat was juicy! Definitely worth a visit.

Came back to try the carne asada fries and got them to go…read more The place was crowded at noon on a Sunday afternoon with many of the tables being occupied. The fries were $17+ and the container looked a bit larger than most other nearby places. However when I got home and opened it, the size was irrelevant as everything in the container was swimming in sour cream. You can barely see anything else in the picture. Why would anyone want this much sour cream? Needless to say the fries were soggy and the whole thing tasted of sour cream even after I tried spooning it off as best I could. Sorry Ernes, you have lost me forever. There are too many other places nearby that don't make their carne asada fries look like a coconut cream pie.

Their meat is not just flavorful, but it's so tender! Generous with the guac, and their hot sauce…read moreselection has really great flavors and kick! Especially this one green sauce Their veggie taco has grilled mixed veggies that were not over cooked or dry. I enjoyed how they took care of the veggies with the same amount of care with the meat. Flavored nicely and cooked well! Place has a dog friendly patio and can get packed. Service is also pretty decent!

This laid-back brewery is a gem for craft beer and taco lovers alike. The atmosphere is perfect for…read moreunwinding with friends, catching up after work, or simply enjoying a relaxed weekend afternoon. And guess what? They're dog-friendly too! We decided to share a few dishes, including the Carne Asada taco bowl, Birria tacos, and Chips, guacamole, and salsa. The Birria tacos were a standout, with incredibly tender and juicy meat. A must-try! The salsa was okay, but I'll probably pass on it next time (I love spicy salsa and it's pretty mellow). The taco bowl was fresh and delicious, making it a great choice for a casual meal.

We came here while we were in Southern California, and this place was really good…read more The ambience was great, the way the tables were set up, the music, everything just felt good and welcoming. The food was delicious. I had the carne asada plate and also tried a taco, and everything was on point. I knew what I wanted and how to pick it, and my food did not disappoint at all. My husband had the taquitos and enchiladas. His experience was a little different because he went more on the veggie side, and a lot of his dishes had potatoes, so after a while it started to taste the same for him. But overall, the food itself was still good. The service was great, drinks were good, and the overall vibe made it a really enjoyable experience. I would definitely come back if I'm in the area again.

I'm gonna g to report them to the health department. Hoping there was no rat mixed in had a very odd taste. Thinking about going to the ER no one answers the phone left a message called numerous times. This place was good at one time, now they are crap. If I can give a lower number than a one I would've. Never again and possibly going to sue and I don't sue. This is the third time the food is bad I'm done. W A R N I N G DO NOT TRUST THE FOOD ITS A HIT OR MISS DO JOT TRUST THE HIT OR MISS!!!!

On Thursday (6/18/2026), I ordered a burrito without cheese and was told it doesn't contain any…read morecheese. Unfortunately, when I got home, I found that it did. As someone who is lactose intolerant, that's something I have to be careful about. I called the restaurant, and the employee I spoke with said they would remake it for me the next time I came in. When I returned on Monday, Alexis helped me. It turned out my name hadn't been taken when I originally called, so there wasn't a way to verify the order. Even so, Alexis listened to my situation, trusted my word, and honored the remake. She handled everything professionally and made the situation right. Mistakes happen, but great customer service is how they're resolved. Thank you, Alexis, for taking care of it and making things right.

This place when I moved to San Marcos would have been 5 stars a couple years ago. Was my go to…read moreprobably weekly for a long time. Customer service to this day is great, nice people. I'm not sure what changed in the kitchen but I pretty bummed on the last 5 times I've gone. I get the California every time I go and add guac for reference, I'm a simple guy. Under-seasoned meat or not enough meat, soggy or dry/stale fries, light on guacamole when added sometimes, missing cheese. The consistency has been really off unfortunately for a pretty simple burrito. My last time I went I ordered the usual California burrito no sour cream add guac, got the burrito and it had sour cream and guac.... But no meat???? It was a big tortilla with sour cream and guacamole only in it lol. I laughed at the mix up and the customer service was great getting a refund (didn't request it they just gave it to me) and replacement burrito. Still decided it was my last time going there after that as even the replacement tasted like the meat had no seasoning on it. Writing this review to hope they turn things around some time in the future, I miss coming here but can't justify spending that much $ for a burrito I'm worried to be bummed about....again.

Why take your food to go when you can sit, enjoy your meal and forgot about the real world even if I ky got a brief time. I tried their nachos as it's their namesake and I was not disappointed at all. Freshness you can taste! My nachos had shredded cheese and came with a cup of nachos cheese! Score! I will be back again for sure. Maybe I'll try their beef broth soup. The picture on the menu and wall looked good!

Coctel is super fresh and the flavor is always on point, i usually never need to add anything! My husband's fav is the carne asada fries.
