Chips 1/24/24
Emily A.

Back in Carson for a high school soccer game. Told our friends about this spot 5 minutes away. We haven't been since our first visit, which has proven to be a mistake. I was a bit nervous it wouldn't be as good and we told everyone it was.... They did NOT let us down and everyone loved what they had. I can definitively say these are the best quesabirria tacos I've had. Crispy shells and perfectly cooked short rib with that cheesiness. Kids menu available they even serve Dino nuggets and fries. Good thing I don't live in Carson or I'd live here. Will return more often than once a year!!

Tacos Patron

Don't miss this lil hole in the wall! Extremely nice people serving up deliciously authentic tacos and burritos. I had the tacos patron w/chicken on one and Al pastor the other. DH had the Al Pastor burrito! Delicious food, cute place, clean as can be (with their A grade health department on display) It's not fancy and you could miss the orange facade next to the gas station, but it's well worth seeking out.

The Menudo is recommended here!
Michael G.

Really good Menudo, can tell it tastes pretty authentic. The QuesaBirria tacos this time had a lot more meat. Because of living in Southern California I've had really good QuesaBirria tacos, these were really good for this area and I hear many recommendations from locals. The Cabeza or Beef Head Taco was nice and tender, add salsa or may be bland. Place is tiny and quaint but fear not, there is extended covered outside seating. Oh, the gentleman taking care of the orders is helpful and friendly, good customer service.

The menu at a glance...

The food was delicious and the service was great.. I felt like I was actually at a taqueria in Mexico with the ambience...

Birria tacos with grilled onion and a carnitas chimichanga.
Ashlee A.

These are not only the BEST tacos in Carson city, but these are the best tacos I've ever had. Insanely delicious. Made to order. True, authentic Mexican food. The restaurant is clean, the staff were very welcoming and friendly, and the free chips and salsa were to die for. I ordered tacos de birria and my friend had a carnitas chimichanga. Both were incredible. Will be bringing everyone I know.

Menu as of October 2024

I've been coming here for years and their food has never disappointed me. Their gorditas de al pastor are my favorite!

Meat was ok but the sope dough tasted old and they used shredded cheese in their burrito. And the beans and rice were bland.

This food is really good the service was good I recommend this if your having a bad dayread more

Every now and then I have one of those where have I been moments?…read moreWell, today was one of those times. I was at a plaza, not far from where San Marcos Grill is located. We were hungry and decided we wanted Mexican food. We've been really tired of the place we've been visiting as we are regulars there. We've been really wanting to try something new and I remembered there was a place down the street from the plaza we were at. San Marcos Grill is not very hard to find. It's just off the main drag going through Carson City on Winnie Lane. We pulled in to the parking lot and I have to be honest. My first thought was wow I hope this place is good. Because I had my doubts being in a strip mall. But you never know unless you try. So we walked, and I was amazed, how awesome this place looked I'm talking very festive, very clean. Tables were well spaced out. The lady greeted us immediately and pointed us to a table where we could sit at. She was there taking our drink orders very quickly. As we sat and looked over the menu, I could not get over the size and beauty of the bar that they have in this establishment. Complete with a great selection of any kind of drink, you could possibly want also TVs that are spaced around the establishment so if you want to watch a sport event, there's not a bad seat anywhere in the restaurant. After looking over the menu, our server came to our table was a very nice young lady and took our orders. My wife chose the beef enchiladas, and a taquito, which comes with rice and beans As I always do with a new establishment, I chose the Carnitas plate. I am a Carnitas aficionado and I always try everyone's Carnitas to see if they are legit. As we're waiting for our food, I noticed an older gentleman who was just helping everybody, come to find out he is the owner. I do not know his name, but he's very friendly guy and very warm and welcoming. As I said, the establishment is very spacious and clean. The bathroom was even clean, so it was a real joy to be there, even though we were waiting on our food, which did not take very long. My wife ordered a margarita that she really liked and I just had a Modelo with a lime. The gentleman I just told you about who I think is the owner brought our food to us and it looked amazing. Needless to say, we dug right into our food and I could not get over how great these Carnitas tasted. Not everyone can make really good Carnitas, they're either dry or they're cooked too long to were they are too crispy. These are so tender and flavorful. I enjoyed every bite. My plate came with rice in a small bowl of beans, a garnish of avocado, sour cream and pico. It also came with very hot corn tortillas The tortillas, however we're spoiled and tasted really old. In fact, you can smell how old they were. I let our server know, but it was no big deal because I had tortilla chips still on the table. She offered to get me some new tortillas, but it was fine because I only use the tortilla to kind of put my food onto the fork. So the tortilla chips worked just fine. I kept trying to eat the Carnitas slowly because I was savoring it so much. I did not want to hurry and be done with the meal too fast. This was our first visit here, and I can tell you that we will be back and probably become regulars. The staff here is very wonderful welcoming and I cannot recommend this place high enough to anyone that wants a great place to eat really great Mexican food. Kudos to the staff.!

We went for…read morebreakfast but their menu offered a wide variety of options, with delicious sounding tacos and other magical treats. For me, the tortilla chips and salsa are a good litmus test of how the food is going to be. All I can say is the chips were AMAZING. Crisp and flavorful. These chips were clearly homemade. The salsa was meh, but the chips were amazing. On this day, we were taken care of two wonderful Latina's, which added to the authenticity of the experience. I overheard our waitress saying she was from Mexico City. Legit. Our friends ordered the Sopas and Birria "soup". The Sopas looked amazing, with a hand formed tortilla and served with a variety of proteins. Our friend ordered the carnitas and chorizo, to have a couple of flavors to sample. She said that the tortilla was bit different than "her mom would make" but did not take away anything from the dish. Her husband had the Birria "soup". I don't know if that was the official name but that's what it looked like. LOL. Served in a rich broth (not oily) were wonderfully seasoned, tender chunks of Birria beef. Whenever a Mexican restaurant offers Menudo for breakfast, I'm down. Menudo it was. This dish was served with Tripe only, lacking the familiar hominy in the dish. I came to understand, the inclusion of hominy varies, depending on where in Mexico the recipe comes from. Well, all right, now I know. The kiss of death of Menudo is if the soup is "oily". No oily broth here. The dish was perfect, served all the normal accoutrement, including onions, cilantro and oregano. Now about the tortillas. We were told that the tortillas were hand made. O-M-G. These were the most delicious corn tortillas I have ever had. I couldn't stop eating them. OMG. Last but not least, my wife ordered the breakfast burrito. She ordered it with bacon instead of the normal Chorizo. Her breakfast burrito was legit. I don't know how they prepared their potatoes but man-o-man were they good. The burrito is also served with Mexican Queso. SO GOOD. The cheese added creamy goodness to the burrito. What a great meal. The restaurant is small but super clean and the staff were amazing. We are looking forward to sampling more of the menu. Que Bueno

Maria, our waitress, was absolutely exceptional. Her service was warm, attentive, and welcoming, making us feel right at home from the moment we sat down. She truly went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. The food portions are tremendous -- definitely big enough to share -- and everything was delicious. The guacamole was especially amazing and a must-try! We always look forward to coming back each year, and Maria's outstanding service made this visit even more memorable. Highly recommend for great food, generous portions, and incredible hospitality!

I would have requested someone else if she would have been ours. It just was not as good as it used to be. Recipe changes?? Not sure. Still a very nice place inside. Just not our go to anymore. The cheese enchilada was not very good. The piccadillo ground sirlion was very dry with little flavor. So long El Charro Avitia. It was nice knowing you
