I wasn't sure what to expect when it came to Mexican food in Toledo, but I came to find out it's excellent! Well, at the very least, San Marcos is--can't speak for the rest! I got a big order of rice, beans, tortillas, chips and salsa, and some guac. Boring, I know, but I like to make my own mini tacos. The flavors were on point, especially the beans and the salsa. My one small gripe was that I had to pay for the chips and salsa, while my mom's partner who spent about the same amount on his burrito, got them for free. Might have just been a mistake but I thought it was odd. The entrance was through a small market which was interesting. It was a surprise when I got to the dining area and the ceiling opened up into a much larger space complete with gorgeous murals. Would be happy to return if I'm in the area again. read more

Stopped by for a Mexican breakfast. Something different this morning which was totally awesome. We were settled immediately and our waiter took our drink order along with our food order. We were very satisfied with our breakfast and all breakfast orders are only ten dollars. A very good deal in today's world. Of course the restaurant is very clean , I've never seen it otherwise. read more

In my opinion, San Marcos on Broadway is the most authentic Mexican food in the Toledo area! I lived in SoCal for 2-plus decades and became very spoiled by all the authentic Mexican eateries. The market / restaurant combination is a fantastic concept. Restaurant service is always very good, even when it is packed wall-to-wall with people. Every staff member I have interacted with has been very friendly and knowledgeable of menu selections. The murals painted on the walls, ceiling, and air ducts are amazing - all done by a local artist. Other decor nicely accentuates the murals perfectly. Prices are quite reasonable for food quality and portion sizes. San Marcos also has outdoor seating available. In my opinion, San Marcos on Broadway is hands down the most authentic Mexican restaurant in Toledo. read more

Fresh, Fast delicious and cheap mexican food, what's not to love? The langua tacos are great! The margaritas always hit the spot, and the service is always on point. After a disappointing experience 3 days prior at another mexican restaurant, we needed to wash away the remnants of a mediocre meal and made a plan to meet up here. It was the perfect way to end an underwhelming monday! read more

I've always loved coming here, great food with very beautiful mural all over the place which is neat to see. read more

San Marcos Restaurant - Good atmosphere great food and drinks - Grocery Near Me - Toledo, Ohio

Went 4/18/26 got sat and brought a basket of chips and salsa then we were ignored for 30 minutes. The restaurant was not overly busy, about half full. Multiple servers walked by and stared at us like we had penis's growing out of our foreheads. After we finished our chips and salsa we just walked out with out 1 employee saying a thing to us after we were sat down read more

Very good food. It provides a very authentic Mexican cuisine when compared to other Mexican restaurants.

It's the closest thing to authentic Mexican cuisine you'll find in Toledo. The lengua tacos are worth the drive downtown alone. Very good margaritas too. Every time my wife and I have been there the service has been fantastic. Quick and attentive. They have added a bunch of new murals that add a fun touch to the atmosphere. If you're heading to a Mud Hen or Walleye game it's a great place to pre-game read more

Just went there for lunch. While the food was fantastic, I ordered the San Marcos burrito, which is on the list of lunch specials at the entrance of the restaurant for $9.96, and they charged me full price ($14.00). I brought this to their attention, and they refused to change the price to what was on the special board. I even got up and showed them the advertised price, prominently displayed on the sign they placed at the entrance of their own restaurant. When I ordered, I asked for the, "San Marco's burrito, the one that's on special." This place does an amazing business. I probably eat at San Marcos at least once every other week. I would always go with a group of 3 or more people, so the total sales from each visit would be $45-$50 dollars plus the tips (another $10.00+++ for the waiter/waitress). No more... they just blew $1,200.00 in annual sales for $5 bucks. Real smart. This is one way great restaurants go out of business. They screwed up and refused to own it. I based my order on their advertised special and they wouldn't honor it. The sign was still on display when I left, so I can't say it was a mistake on their behalf - seems pretty intentional if the problem isn't rectified after it was pointed out. I hope they enjoy that $5 dollars... read more

A wonderful little atmosphere. My coworker and I come here every day for lunch. $11 daily lunch burrito is what I order with Carne Asada and I would rate it the best in Toledo. The service is great, timely, and the food is priced accurately. Love this place. read more

First off, the food was terrible and cold. The service sucked. Our server was Millie. We went to the one on Laskey. Will probably never go back read more

We love San Marcos! The restaurant is hidden behind the grocery store. Walk through to find a beautifully painted restaurant ready for you to be seated. The drinks are the coldest in town, and the tacos are the best! There are lunch specials if you make it there before 4! Don't forget to grab your items for the store for your homemade tacos. read more

Once amazing and authentic taco joint; so disappointing now. I was hungry for menudo. It was satisfying but underwhelming. We asked about the Mexican Pizza which was described as a layered dish with crispy fried flour tortillas. What we received was a Mexican Pizza Quesadilla. I took one bite and couldn't eat any more. It was not fried, limp and inedible as a pizza. Although it was huge; the waitress never asked if it was okay even when we said we did not want a box. I miss the old days, the flavors and the quality service. read more

One of the worst mexican restaurants in town food is bland tacos hare loaded with more grizzle than steak beans taste old. was a descent place when it was a small diner. food went south fast when they started opening multiple locations. now i cannot stand to even look at this place nor eat there. atmosphere is too loud read more

Called and put in a reservation for 14 people days prior to a Saturday reservation at 6 pm, specifically telling them we had an event at 8. I called the day before to add 4 people to the reservation at 6, they said that was not a problem. My party arrives at 6, they proceed to tell us we made the reservation for 6:45. We then have to wait for them to find separate tables to put our party at, they got 8 out of the 18 people sat. They then move us to a bigger table for 14, another group had to sit at a different table with a table between us. As we're speaking with management and they continue to say the reservation was at 6:45, I look down and right on a paper it says our last name and 6 pm. The whole time they were lying, we did not get food until 7:30 after arriving at 6, we were late to our event after being assured we would not be. This place is so beyond unprofessional, the bartender and other employees gave us dirty looks, complained about our party 6 feet from us. I don't know how it was our fault your establishment is extremely unorganized. read more

This place was buzzing with activity despite COVID. Can't imagine how busy it might be without a pandemic! Every worker from host & hostess to server was super friendly and attentive. Everyone in my family enjoyed their meals and the colorful decor. And we also had fun checking out the attached grocery and some of the unique items we don't see in a typical store. Middlegrounds Park is very close by for a great pairing of food + riverside walk. read more

San Marcos Restaurant - From left to right: enchilada, tostada, tamale - yum! - Grocery Near Me - Toledo, Ohio

If you want to feel like a Toledo native, San Marcos Restaurant is the place for you. As you enter, hundreds of authentic Mexican foods surround your sensory transporting you straight to Monterrey (my favorite city in MX). For the fluent in Spanish, get excited to use your skills as that would probably be accepted by the excellent staff who waited on us and spoke clear English well. As pertains food, the San Marcos burrito is "delish", and the margaritas are "decent". A fun combos section is offered on the menu with more options than the heart can fathom, all at a price of 11.99! Not too shabby. Above all else, the enchiladas are tops. The burritos and tacos are less than tops. Thank you. Luke - a 24 yr old man. read more

Pretty good Mexican food. The store attached is super intriguing and cool to walk around in. Nice atmosphere and outdoor patio is nice on a cool evening. read more

Huge more or less authentic Mexican plates, fantastic atmosphere. I ended up coming 3 times during a work trip, having their fried whole fish (huachinango), pineapple grill, and molcajete. The former 2 could easily feed 2-3 people and were fantastic. The Grilled Pineapple was the best. pineapple and stone bowl read more

I've had some amazing meals here and some below average meals here. They just are not consistent enough for me. I always get the chicken chimichanga. I have been wowed at how amazing it's been and also very underwhelmed at other times. It's decent but Varies by the cook I'm assuming. They have some very good margaritas always! read more

Definitely excelente like always. I first went because of recommendation from a friend who always hits up San Marcos when in Toledo. Me too and I always recommend it! I love getting food at the store that I miss from Mexico. I mean there is a butcher, baker, produce, candies, etc. In the restaurante - The pineapple meal with all sorts of shrimp, meat, flavorful chili and queso with pineapple sweetness was delicious! I couldn't decide between that, the molcajete and tamales, but I definitely wasn't dissappointed! I love they have corn tortillas that are good. I wish they were made by hand, but they are the best I've had in a Mexican restaurante in the US. The waiter was friendly and also made sure to ask a few times if everything was good, it was!! AND it was a nice atmosphere. It actually felt like some restaurants I've been to in Mexico. I half expected someone to say buen provecho when they walked by. There was no room for dessert, but I got horchata in a to go cup and it was like getting agua from a Michoacana read more

Great service. Good food. Price is right if u order off the menu. They will cook u anything for a price. The margaritas are too tart! Strong. But sour / tart forward. I definitely recommend this joint. read more

This place is TOO GOOD. The prices are TOO GOOD. The food is TOO GOOD. I seriously miss this place. I was in the area during the summer for an internship and I would go here at concerning frequencies. Two veggie tacos cost $7 and it was so filling because they put so much stuff in the tacos despite it being vegetarian. The agua frescas were delicious and they gave you a huge cup for only ~$3. The complimentary chips and salsa were seriously addicting. read more

Terrible food. Only went as many times as I did cause others wanted to go there. Each time, very unhappy with the food.

Delicious burritos! Tasty salsa. Beautiful dinning room. Fast service and good prices. We always stop on our way home from cedar point.

I have been wanting to try San Marco for years so we went on a Saturday for dinner my boyfriend decided we had to go back on Sunday with his parents to celebrate his dads birthday. The food and margaritas are wonderful and our waiter who we had both days Fernando was great. read more

Working downtown, I met a friend for lunch at San Marcos Restaurant. Arriving just after 11:30am, we walked through the impressively well-stocked Mexican groceries section of the store to reach the restaurant entrance. Surprised by the long line of people outside, we discovered that most were waiting for takeout orders, and once we got in the correct line, the hostess sat us at a table very quickly. Our waiter, Alfonso, came over a few minutes later to take first our drink orders, then our meal orders, where I selected a burrito with pork. With a regular soda and tax, my bill came to $12.03, which is pretty typical for lunch downtown. The décor in the restaurant is fantastic, with beautiful Aztec-inspired murals painted on the walls and ceilings. Additionally each of the chairs was carved and vividly painted with its own unique design, while the tables contained colourful individually painted scenes. However I did not have long to take in the restaurant's ambiance, as the crack kitchen staff had our meals ready exceptionally quickly! On receiving our orders, the first thing we were impressed with was the generous portions. After that, we were impressed by the great taste, especially the perfectly seasoned pork on my burrito! For uncommonly speedy service, ample portions, and great taste, I rate San Marcos Restaurant as being Very Good, and will definitely be returning! read more

Fantastic food! It's been a while since I've had good Mexican food and this place exceeded my expectations. The service was quick and everyone was friendly. I ordered a Piña with my meal which tasted pretty fresh and was delicious (not overly sweet). I ordered the taco, rice, and beans platter with an extra taco. I was not prepared for the large portions and probably shouldn't have ordered the extra taco. That being said, the al pastor and barbacoa tacos were excellent and the beans and rice were absolutely authentic/delicious. My wife ordered the carne asada tacos and she said they were great tacos, but that the bean platter was the best. Fantastic place with authentic food and great service! read more

Absolutely love San Marcos. Sure, it's in sorta ghetto area, and you'll sometimes get those ghetto-a$$ customers who swear at the staff and hosts up and down. (Which by the way happened to me when I brought my wife and daughter for the first time, after swearing to them how good and legit they were.. Needless to say, it will *not* be the family's first pick) But if I'm with coworkers or friend or even by myself, I wouldn't hesitate to come back. The thing that surprised most about Toledo was the amount of very authentic ethnic restaurants it has. San Marcos is definitely one of them. I guess one could say Toledoans were spoiled when it comes to likes of good Mexican food, Lebanese food and a few others. Sure, you can find half decent Tex-Mex places all around the States, but finding good authentic Mexican places are surprisingly difficult, at least in my experiences. Considering I couldn't find a single decent authentic Mexican place when I stayed in Maryland a couple years, being recommended San Marcos from a coworker who's never lived outside of this town was at first skeptical, but at the end, a very pleasant surprise. I've since come back several times to try a few different items. Outside from the bad family visit I mentioned above, all my experience has been very positive. I guess there's a good reason why the place has expanded to 3 or 4 different locations around town. Caldo de res is my go-to meal, but last time I was there, the pork chop especial was *A.MAZING* It was truly an amazingly tender, well seasoned pork chop. I would highly recommend it to anyone who's a pork chop fan. read more

San Marcos is an excellent Mexican grocery and Carniceria (meat market). Our hotel suite had a kitchen, and San Marcos is the closest grocery to downtown, recommended by our front desk manager. GREAT choice! read more

This place was outstanding. We didn't have to wait to be seated. The food portions were large. I had the tamale plate filled with shredded pork and my friend had a taco salad. Pretty reasonable price too. The only thing was that our waitress couldn't or didn't want to answer any questions about the design of the restaurant and she delivered our check without even asking if we wanted dessert. It was my birthday, of course I wanted dessert. We both did. This is the reason, that I'm not awarding them a 5 stars read more

Other than their melon agua fresca i can't say much more. The waitress told us they were basically out of everything on the menu.
