We had a wonderful experience at San Marcos Grill. Our family of 5 went out for dinner and decided to try San Marcos and we were not disappointed. The atmosphere is family friendly, the staff is very attentive and welcoming and the food is absolutely amazing. We started with the Spinach Artichoke dip, which WOW'd us. We've had many Spinach Artichoke dips feom many other places as it is always our go-to appetizer if on the menu, but we've never had one with so much flare and flavor. The spices in this dip made this dip superb to all others. I ordered the Spinach Mushroom Enchiladas which were just as amazing at the dip . My husband order a pork chimichunga and he loved it. It was the last Friday of the month, so there was Tequila tasting going on as well, but we didn't partake in that. It looked like everyone who was doing the tasting was enjoying themselves though.

Wow! I had business that was delayed next door so I stepped in for a quick lunch. Nice surprise. I had two tacos one Carnitas and one Beria. The Carnitas came with a dip. It was simply amazing.

WOW! A crowded busy Friday night we were in the mood for margaritas and burritos and fajitas. San Marcos sat us within 15 minutes(kudos to the calm and steady hostess). Even though half of Carson City decided to have a good time out before more snow covered our driveways- the team at San Marcos remained friendly, helpful and attentive. We got to see the owner serving and clearing tables yet he still took a moment to greet and thank everyone. Our drinks were top notch and food delicious. Highly recommend.

This is a thoroughly delicious Mexican restaurant. There are so many menu options that I had trouble choosing. I got the CLASSIC shredded beef taco and cheese enchilada and they were both delicious. The rice is perfect and the refried beans are deliciously flavorful. Definitely wanna go back and try other dishes.My dad had the sizzling enchiladas, which I got to try and they are equally spectacular. I love the different sauces that they will give you with the chips, the carrot and habanero with spicy but full of flavor.

San Marcos Carson City Nevada Drinks and apps….. Sprite, water and one neat tequila shot. Told the hostess to choose the shot, she did great perfectly smooth tequila so that was a great start!!! The Salsa is great and the bean dip is whole beans with tons of flavor it’s a bit different than typical refried bean dip with cheese topping but a great starting appetizer, don’t eat to much or you’ll have leftovers; it’s that good, especially when they are mixed. The salsa won’t burn so make sure and give it a try…. Dinner…. For Dinner we got a Chef surprise, only requirements are no squid and no octopus but a seafood mix with other meats. While we waited I had a chance to look at the bar it’s probably the best tequila bar this side of Truckee California, which has the best of the best, again San Marcos isn’t far off if not equal… Dinner shows up with a crazy seafood plate and the best Tamale I think I have ever had, the plate had it all crab, shrimp, clams , scallops and a few surprises served on a bed of traditional rice with what tasted like cod to me not 100% sure but it was that good. If it was a tilapia type fish then they killed it so overall having them whip up a whatever plate puts them at the top of my hell yeah list! Desert is inbound!!! Ok the dinner was so good we could not fit in deserts, however, I will return just for a taste test so hang tight…. FYI, I hear that their fried ice cream is the best on earth we shall see stay tuned!!!! Overall, the servers and service were top notch Mayra was on top of EVERYTHING, we can call that young lady the best server in Carson hands down period!! Thanks to Mayra and San Marcos for a great evening!!!!!!

I picked this place on a whim while checking local Mexican cuisine on Google with my wife. Not disappointed in the least! We ordered the supreme fajitas and the steak nachos, I also asked for some salsa Verde. The fajitas were delicious, great flavor for the nachos and the Verde was 🔥 both in flavor and spicy! This will be our new favorite spot to hit up while in town. The staff was incredibly friendly and polite and kept apologizing for the wait even though they were busy. I wish I had ate in instead of getting my food to go because the atmosphere was very pleasant. 10/10 would recommend this place to family and friends! Thank you for a delicious meal.

What a lovely establishment that is truly a culinary gift to Carson city. San Marcos grill is casually serving some of the best Mexican food that I’ve had in the US! The vibe inside was very fun, had a bar section and lots of tables for family dining. The staff were all extremely nice and thoughtful. And most importantly the food is simply exceptional! Mole is one of my favorite Mexican foods, but i find that many places use premade mole or the chicken portion is tiny. But not at San Marcos, their mole is made in house, the perfect consistency, and balance between umami and sweetness. It is also served with perfectly cooked chicken breasts (yes plural) with all the fixins. And their rib eye fajita is insane. Where have you ever been offered ribeye for a fajita before? Perfectly cooked and goes so well with their beans and rice. The price of everything is also super fair, especially given their huge portion sizes. Whether you’re staying in Tahoe or passing though the great state of Nevada, if you’re a lover of Mexican food, stop by San Marcos grill for truly authentic and exceptional meal. Don’t forget to also get their spicy salsas to bring the whole meal together!
