Food was great! I had menudo; one of the best I've had! My Daughter ordered breakfast tacos; great homemade flour tortillas, thin and large and great tasting! And they were not shy on the fillings. Awesome place and people. read more

I've only been here twice, but both times were very enjoyable. The service was prompt and courteous. The food was decent, and the potatoes needed a little bit more salt and/or seasoning. Overall, the ambiance was nice, and I will go back eventually. read more

Landed here by accident on the way to the glass bottom boats. Super friendly lady taking care of us, food came out quickly and was very tasty. Very homemade flavor, everything was made fresh. Will visit back! read more

The food. Was not good. At all. The Spanish rice was crunchy and the beans and enchiladas so bland, I couldn't add enough salt. I won't go back. read more

They need an extra chef, and extra waitress. Waited too long to get our menudo. But very friendly.

This place is great. We ordered potato, egg, bacon, and cheese breakfast tacos with extra green and red salsas and DANG Y'ALL I cannot recommend this place enough. Killer ~homemade~ tortillas, perfectly cooked bacon, and salsa so good I ended up sipping it after each bite We actually came back a second time the next morning for the exact same order, that's how much we enjoyed this place. Definitely want to come back to try the rest of the menu! read more

If you want to eat half empty tacos go there ( $4 / small taco with big tortillas and nothing inside of it) not that they just lifted prices double or triple after Corona , but amount of food you get is very minimal. This used to be our favorite breakfast place , not anymore. Pretty disappointed If you are in San Marcos area and want to eat breakfast- go to Toma Taco near by great service and great food . read more

My husband & I were looking for a place to eat a good Mexican breakfast and we happened to drive by and outside he noticed that the building had homemade flour tortillas written outside in red letters so we circled around & gave Wow-Wees Cafe a visit. Well, wow-wee we're not disappointed. He ordered the 4 cheese enchilada plate & a chorizo & egg taco. I ordered the Woo-Wee Special that came w/a small menudo, 2 over medium eggs, a small portion of barbacoa, refried beans, & potato....it was the perfect amount. We ended up ordering a pound of barbacoa to go to take to my niece. Everything was delicious & our waitress was very attentive. And, yes, the homemade flour tortillas were excellent. We are happy campers. read more

First time in this place and the last for sure!! Wish i had seen the cockroach review before even trying. But my one complaint was that i ordered 2 burritos from the window & i asked for a second green sauce since i ordered 2 but she has the audacity to tell me it will be 50. Extra! That's after my buddy that just placed a one burrito order and got one sauce as well and tipped her $2.00! So i said I'll just order 2 burritos in separate orders to get a sauce with each next time. But not after looking at the reviews. read more

Being from SA, I consider San Marcos a second home. But, I've never put much stock in their Texas, Mexican food. Basically, and sadly it's not their thing. Most places here get one or two things right, but they always stop short. Maybe, because it's a college town, who knows. This place is no exception. I must've passed this place at least 1000 times as I head up to the school, and today I decided to stop for a couple of tacos. The short story is that the fillings were fine, but the tortillas were absolute crap, garbage. They had the texture of dry and unbaked pie crust and tasted like play dough. I won't dig deeper into it, but if you decide to visit, don't expect good tejano food. It's just another overrated taco joint feeding unsuspecting kids. read more

Largest Burrito in Texas for under $10.... Down Home and Authentic to satisfy every taste bud. The chips and salsa mix are delicious. Bottled Coca~Cola and the XL Burrito selection will not fit on any plate, platter or in any people; except those who are champion consumers. read more

Wow-Wees Cafe - Nuff Said - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Marcos, Texas

The food can be good. I have been going here for years. However, the prices are outrageous, and they nickel and dime you for everything. Would you please tell me how this makes sense? I'll order a to-go XL burrito to receive a small container of salsa. You must add at least two or three more to make that even equivalent to the size of that burrito. A small problem, yes, but it is outrageous to charge three dollars extra for good salsa for that item. They change the prices every single time I come. It is never the same standard price. Greediness, poor management, and not going back. Such a shame. This place was good. read more

Wow-Wees Cafe - a hot dog wrapped in aluminum foil - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Marcos, Texas

Decided to get an inexpensive Mexican breakfast this morning with my boyfriend bc I've been here once before, but never again. This restaurant had the audacity/ ignorance that has led my bf with a mouth full of carne and cockroach yes, a whole cockroach. LUCKILY, He only ate one leg (pulled it out of his mouth ) and we feel BEYOND DISGUSTED. If he bit and crunched into that BIG GUY He would of lost his shit and went Godzilla mode on those mfs because there is NO WAY they just did this shit to us. I ran out so ducking fast because I have a sensitive stomach, but come on!! Think about the DISEASES BRUH. Do yourself a favor and do NOT waste your time like we did for a cheap Mexican breakfast read more

Excellent small Tex-Mex cafe that i have been going to for over 4 years. The owners and staff here are extremely courteous and can COOK great food while remaining thorough in keeping the place clean and well maintained. I order the Large Menudo about once/twice a week from this location and they never disappoint. Always friendly, and the prices are very affordable for the size of the meals. Perfect place to grab a quick bite/meal at an affordable price while providing high quality dishes. read more

Bland food sporadic drink offerings do not have items on the menu it was just a mediocre place and that's about it

I got the XL barbacoa and it has to be one of the best burritos I've ever had! They filled it all the way and the service was excellent! Definitely will be coming back read more

Their flour tortillas are very large but they give you the smallest amount of filling! I got a potato, bacon, and egg taco and when I bit into it, it was super dry. It was about 90% potato and there were like 3 tiny specks of bacon. I brought it back to the counter and they said it looked fine and that was the right amount of meat and if I wanted more then they would have to charge me extra. So I have to pay extra for the most basic amount of what I already paid for? It was ridiculous, terrible service! read more

Wow Wee's serves authentic and inexpensive Mexican food. Their large breakfast tacos will get you full quick however if you're really hungry you can go up to their XL option. The barbacoa tacos were hit at our table. If you have time this little hole in the wall restaurant is a nice stop to enjoy some breakfast while in San Marcos. read more

Loved the food. But there was so much hair. 3 beard hairs in the flour tortillas and one in the migas. So. Much. Hair. Had to stare at the beard we ate as we paid out. read more

I came to this restaurant during the snow storm and the tacos were huge and amazing. The prices were great especially for the size of the tacos. 10/10 recommend and definitely hit the spot when I wanted a good warm meal and homemade taco. read more

I was astonished that the flour tortilla were so delicious. My mom and Aunt make awesome hand made tortillas (both from Mexico) and I'm sure they would agree that these flour tortillas were bomb! I swear take it from me, the breakfast tacos are delicious. I have not made a review in years but this one was well deserved. I promise you will love it! read more

So far my boyfriend and I have only tried their breakfast tacos, but it's so hard to stray away because they're addicting. They're made with real egg, a homemade tortilla and are piping hot when you get them! This is the best breakfast taco place in town. read more

Absolutely solid food. Do not let the lackluster appearance deter you from this great establishment. We had breakfast there- the migas with bacon. I couldn't have made it better myself, solid food. And the tortillas. Those tortillas were spot on. Do not let the lack of instagramable photo ops push you away. Great food. read more

Wow wee, is this place bad. First of all, the service is embarrassingly bad. One lone lady trying her best to keep up with the customers while some kid at the register (owners son?) sat on his ass while orders piled up on the slide. He couldn't be bothered with the menial task of delivering food to the tables. Then when you try and talk to him to pay the tab it is clear this kid is just plan lost. Now the really bad part...the food. Huevos rancheros were utterly inedible. The sauce was watery and devoid of any flavor. It was as if the cook was adding water to stretch it out to last. Mine was also missing the corn tortilla under the eggs. The diced potatoes again had no flavor and had nothing mixed in with them (red or green peppers? Onion? Salt?). The refried beans were a mess. No texture. They were more like bean purée. Now THEY had flavor, just not a good one. The over easy eggs were cooked perfect. The only difference my companion had was the cherizo and eggs. Over the top greasy and no real flavor. This place has a reputation for selling these monster size burritos and maybe that's what we should have ordered...or maybe that's all they should be selling? In the San Marcos area there are tons of places to grab a bite, this isn't one of those places. read more

I live in San Marcos as I attend Texas State University. I would say this is one of the best Mexican resteraunts in San Marcos. They do not offer a typical Mexican food menu but rather they focus on tacos, large tacos. I only ever go here for breakfast tacos and they never let me down. The wait time is never too long, and their customer service isn't too great but who cares, the tacos are great. If you are really hungry order the XL! read more

My Kids and I,ate lunch here on Saturday and the enchiladas and tacos we had for lunch we're absolutely amazing.The chips and salsa were equally amazing and the service great!!!! The wait staff are so polite and genuinely nice.They all seem to go above and beyond service.We will definitely be coming back next weekend for breakfast and then lunch again the following week. Our new favorite Restaurant!!!!! read more

Best tacos and homemade tortillas in san marcos. If you want REAL mexican breakfast tacos this is the place to eat. The food and the service are both amazing. 10/10 will always recommend. read more

It's not bad. I feel like my receipt wasn't correct. I feel like I was overcharged but it what it is. Food was alright

We(2a4c) stopped for breakfast around 10am..the service was pretty okay they didn't over bother us and were always in sight as we were eating and they did warn us about the super wobbly table(but also why did they even have it still..it was very unusable!) the potatoes in my tacos were cooked well.. however they didn't have barbacoa (which was the reason I picked them so bummer)along with a few other items.. they also didn't have Dr Pepper (not as big a deal but double bummer).. the bean and cheese portions in the bean cheese potato taco were way under for the size of the tortilla like they use a soup spoon to portion them out or something.. the soda fridge didn't close properly which bothered me..the eating area was moderately clean.. and the womens bathroom was so atrocious(I feel like the amount of standing while the few tables ate could have been used for bathroom upkeep although it needs a whole overhaul to start).. am I enough of a garbage person that I would eat their food? yes... but if seeing how grungy a place is kills your appetite than I suggest you try somewhere else read more

Stopped in for breakfast on a Saturday in early August after just moving here, looking for legit Mexican or Tex-mex style breakfast. Although the place looks pretty simple on the outside and inside, don't let it detour you from stopping. Great waitstaff, friendly customers and inexpensive great Mexican breakfast. Breakfast tacos are huge, made on homemade flour tortillas. All our food was great (and it's little kid friendly). Places gets busy fast, but they do their best to get you in and out quickly. read more

My husband and I have been here a few times, and every time we've enjoyed our visits. The people are really down to earth and friendly. We love the homemade tortillas here! We love how much you can get for your buck here! There are a few items I just personally do not enjoy. The coffee here and so far the migas are not very good in my opinion. I'm used to migas not having chorizo on them and yellow cheese on them. It just didn't go with them. I'm used to queso fresco being on them. Other than that the place is legit. read more

Very good quality food! Lots of flavor. Loved everything about the food; place could be upgraded but I was just there for the food. Great service. Loved that they let my Dad leave his Kemper Insurance cards at the register; he's such a loyal customer. Will return. read more

Best find in San Marcos. It's so hard to find a place that makes good refried beans. These are amazing.!Fresh tortillas and not out of the package. Yumm! read more

This is one of those hidden gems of San Marcos. The food is always delicious, and the portion sizes are HUGE. The XL burrito is the size of a small baby and is between $5-$9. It's unbeatable. The owner is so kind, and every thing comes out hot and fresh. I plan on taking every single person I know there at least once. read more

This place is close to where I live so my boyfriend and I decided to give it a try. San Marcos isn't known for their outstanding Mexican food so we didn't go in with high expectations. Place: There wasn't anything particular about their decor. A couple of paintings on the wall and a Christmas tree. It was just like another hole in the wall kind of place and that didn't bother me at all. Service: Our waitress was prompt and friendly. Answered my questions in Spanish and that was refreshing even though she was able to speak English. However we did have to ask for chips and salsa. I normally expect complimentary Chips and Salsa in a Mexican restaurant. It's definitely a perk I look forward to. Food: The chips were a bit stale like they had been out for a while. An upside to that is that they were served warm. I really love warm chips with my salsa. The salsa was okay. Not something to remember. I eat corn tortillas and when the waitress said they are made by hand I immediately became excited. The tortillas were thin and uniform almost as if it would be impossible to be made by hand. But dang it they were good. They were much better than the H-E-B brand I buy. I ordered soft tacos. The meat tasted good. I am not sure what seasoning they used but I did notice some onion and maybe a bell pepper or jalapeno sliver. The tacos were satisfying. As for the rice and beans they were average. Overall: The service friendly, the price fair, and the food average. I will have to visit this place at least twice more to really know if this place is worth recommending though. read more

Wow-Wees Cafe - Soft tacos with corn tortillas. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Marcos, Texas

Wow Wee's is the perfect place to go if you're craving some homemade Mexican/TexMex brunch. They have delicious menudo, barbacoa, and HUGE 3lb enchiladas! The Wow Wee's Special is my fave thing to get, it's DELICIOUS! Their tortillas is definitely the BEST THING though! I only wish they had some Mexican desserts too. Oh and I wish they served chips & salsa WITHOUT it being extra ‍ Either way, I still love wow wees & my fiancé and I always take people there when they come visit us from out of town! Also, idk if Geronimo still works there, but he is the BEST! He's super friendly & always asks the extra questions to make sure we get everything exactly how we want it. read more

This place has the best BE&C taco in town. Don't even get me going on the XL burrito..

I really like it here! Of all the Tex Mex in SM, this place slaps every time. Sure, if you go when it's at peak hours, service can be slow, but it's clear the servers are trying their best to keep up, and with an open floor plan, they're easy to flag down. Everything tastes how I want it to, and portions are good too! read more
