Restaurants in San Marcos

This place is consistently superb, especially for the price. We come here about twice/month. Last month we ate at some of our favorite spots in Santa Fe. Balcon measures up to any of them. I love the elote asado (street corn) and the enmolada, with house-made corn tortillas. I pick other items on other days, but these are my favorites. Best margaritas in the area.

The restaurant was not busy and I had made reservations. We were seated quickly and waited a few minutes for our server. He was very pleasant and attentive. We ordered beverages and they were brought out in a timely manner. The cowboy filet was seasoned perfectly and at a nice warm temperature. My husband ordered the ribeye steak with mushroom topping. The steak was warm but the mushrooms were not. He ate the steak but left the cold mushrooms. The salad was served on a chilled plate and for interest, the carrots were curled. I think it added a nice aesthetic touch. Our server placed rolls on the table. The butter was perfectly chilled but the rolls were not hot. In all, it was a nice evening and meal. Adequate but not great yet. We come to dinner an average of once a week because of the location in Kissing Tree is convenient.

Best waitress ever-very attentive-engaged us all immediately 👍 Super professional & personable. Everyone one enjoyed the onion strings & brisket queso 🙌

Fun atmosphere and great food. Many Industry specialties include their delicious brisket. Don’t miss the brisket breakfast sando and the brunch bowl with brisket! Great selection of delicious libations like the super tasty waffle shot, which combines Jameson Irish whiskey, orange juice, bacon, and butterscotch for a “wake me up” that you won’t forget.
