San Marcos Mexican Restaurant - Smithfield — Restaurant in Smithfield

I am very disappointed. I Googled best Mexican food in Smithfield and San Marcos came up #1. We were seated promptly. Chips and salsa arrived. Kind of rudely dumped on the table. Most places provide 2 bowls of salsa. We got one and she was gone before I could even open my mouth to request another. I normally would not review that but as we were nearing the end of our meal my date gave me a Birthday card and I took the time to read it at that moment. As I was looking at the card 3 servers cleared our table. 3. Half a basket of chips left, haft a bowl of Pico degalo and my approximately 4 bites of the chicken from my dinner. Me and my date just looked at each and asked "What just happened?" I have never had my table cleared off like that, not to mention the food we were still enjoying. And we weren't given any napkins. I had to get up and go find some.I don't know what's going on here but they won't see me back in there. I'm tempted to venture an opinion but I'll keep my personal observation to myself and stick with the facts. And as with many other places cash is preferred and cards are penalized a...

We thought it would be a great place to try..wrong. They had no tp or paper towels in ladies room..When we went to table they had cleaned it but left the seats soaked from wiping them off and instead of wiping them off, they handed us napkins and said sorry and walked away. Then when we ordered our drinks they had that wrong too. It took 2 more times telling waiter he still hadn't brought out our drinks..yet hes going around filling up his other tables and has to walk right past us. My daughter ordered her fajitas a certain way, it was wrong. So, she returned them. They offered to fix it, but by now, we had all lost our appetite. So the rest of us packed to go boxes and home we went. When I asked for a togo dr. pepper, he brought me a diet coke. I just left(I think if our waiter had written the orders down as he was taking them, he might have gotten it right, but he was so distracted. On what? Who knows. It was a big disappointment..I will stick to my regular mexican rest. down the road..I suggest you go...

I went the restaurant for the first time on Saturday, June 7 and asked the waitress what chicken tacos were good. She recommended Tacos De Pollo Asado. I was expecting tender grilled chicken, seasoned/flavored, and already put together. The meal was priced over $15.00. When the meal was delivered I was shocked and highly disappointed. The tacos were delivered on dry old tortilla's and the chicken breast taste like two or three day old chicken. The toppings for the tacos were served in a plastic cup with a lid. Meaning there was nothing on the taco but dry tortilla and dry chicken.

I love Mexican food and know good food when I taste it. But this was the worst Mexican food I have ever had in my life. I'm accustomed to good Mexican food from Micasitas and other restaurants where the tacos are served fresh, hot, and flavors melt in your mouth. San Marcos did not meet any expectation of good service and good food. I'm leaving this review because management needs to be aware of how their food is being...
