26 Best Fast Food Restaurants in San Marcos

“absolutely delish yummmmm“

“Have always had a great experience at The Money Pit; except for today (10/28/24). My wife and I stopped for lunch and ordered 2 hamburgers, 1 fry, and 2 drinks. At the time of ordering your employee gave me a to-go carrier for the two drinks, and I told her that we were eating at the Money Pit. She gave me two cups for the drinks. I paid the bill of $20.04 with cash, and she gave me my change. She seemed very put out that I was not taking the drinks and food out. Anyway, when they brought the meal, there were 3 hamburgers, not 2. I said I ordered 2 and she basically told me I was lying and walked away. If you get a server about 30-35 years old, 5'4" tall, with glasses at the Money Pit expect to be treated in a rude matter. Never happened to me in the past (over 10 years of eating there), and I hope you don't have to deal with this employee.“

“First time in California. Tried In N Out in Santa Monica - absolutely terrible. My first impression was that In N Out was just a basic flavorless burger.

However, gave it a 2nd try while visiting some family in San Marcos. It was like night and day. Our cashier was super nice and patient with me as I figure out what I want. The burger tasted so much better. Very happy with this experience.“

“My go to is #9! I don't have pictures because I ate my sandwich!. This is a great place for the fresh cut meats and the family-owned service. No one on their phone acting like your bothering them. They offer 3 lengths of sandwich and seemingly endless variety. Loyalty cards are no longer issued but I have a few more punches to go on mine which they still honor.
SUPPORT LOCAL BUSSINESS, ESPECIALLY THIS ONE!!!“

“We just picked up a curbside order and the member who brought out the order was so kind , had the biggest smile ever .“

“Enjoyed the grand opening. Food and service was great. Always been a fan of crinkle french fries. Chicken was the best. Welcome to San Marcos.“

“Just stopped for Rootbeer Floats & absolutely hands down had the BEST customer service I've ever had from Arby's anywhere. Thank you HUNTER for absolutely making my day! You are AMAZING & deserves a raise.“

“Great food and awesome team! Go and say hi to Thomas. 😉“

“I've lived in San Diego my whole life and I have to say La Fe makes the best tortillas I've ever had. I am particularly addicted to their whole wheat tortillas. They are hands down the best whole wheat tortillas on the planet. Do yourself a favor and try La Fe's tortillas out!“

“Maria with the glasses was on it! She was taking orders working in the back and still came out to wipe down tables! She provided us with excellent customer service and definitely stood out when it came to her team! Even tho there were alot of customer Maria took control and did it with a smile thank you once again Maria for the great experience you are highly appreciated ma'am!“

“OMG! Del Taco you are so nice. I ran out to get a very late dinner of tacos � and a chicken burrito � to save for lunch tomorrow. I had my hands full of stuff I was putting in my trunk so I wouldn’t forget it in the morning and what did I do? I go through the drive thru and get to the window. I reach over to grab my wallet out of my purse and there’s no purse � . When the nice man came to the window, I apologized and told him I forgot my purse. He told me they were closing early to have some work done, and gave me the tacos. ���. You can be sure I’ll bring by the � in the next few days. I really appreciate not having to run all the way back home and then turn around and run all the way back to get some dinner. Thank you Del Taco and the nice man in the window.“

“I'm writing this preview to acknowledge Jay for exceptional service hard work. She answers the phone. She takes the order. When you arrive she is the cashier. And then to my surprise she's also cooking the pizza. While waiting for the pizzas to be finished she is preparing the line with boxes and stickers and all at a very fast rate and all the time making sure that pizza come out correctly. If I was still in the position to do so today I would offer her a job without thinking twice. Regardless of experience I could tell in a few minutes that she could adapt to any situation and be an amazing employee. Thank you Jay.“

“They were way understaffed for a lunch rush on a sunday. Only three people on sift. The three people working did great under the pressure. Wish management would have given them atleast two more people so the line could have moved better, and so mistakes were made, but the staff even though short handed were very welcoming and fixed my order promptly.“

“We usually come on Sunday mornings for pancakes and sausage and the senior coffee. We use the app store points at up and if you save your receipt and enter the survey next time you visit you'll get a 2 for 1. And you can do this over and over again saves lots of money“

“I love coming here, chuie and Juan are the best. I live in Oceanside but when I'm here in San Marcos I'm always here because of her customer service and friendly service. The Food is fresh! And truly this is the best n only panda I truly recommend coming too. Thank you Chuy !!!“

“Friendly staff! Clean show room! It was a little hot in there. No AC on but everything seemed fine. There was no Diet Dr Pepper and I was able to ask the lady to refill it behind the counter versus the dine in area. I loved they had the burger king paper crowns everywhere! Made it fun! Great location for a quick bite to eat and back on the road. It's next to Hobby Lobby and Best Buy area. We happened to be waiting at Evans Tire. In the meantime time we grabbed a quick bite to eat here!“

“I never have had any problems here, the place is very cool in my book!“

“Haven't been to Pizza hut in long time. Their prices are double of Dominos and quality not consistent. Plus they are rare to find.

Saw the $3 Deal and thought to give a try for old time sake. I was surprised how good it was. I might as well ditch Dominos and become regular again as long they can mantain Quality and Price.“

Antonio if you see this, you made this mamas day. God bless you sweetheart! Thank you for being so kind. Boss man. Give this guy a raise!!!!!!“

“I dont really care for their chicken butt. But guess what? Hahaha see what I did there. Grow a chicken pair and wear feathered underwear. Cuz it got crazy chickens there so try not to stare and eat there if you dare. But I don't really care for the crazy chicken find me chicken at KFC or Popeyes Popeyes I believe has the most expensive Chicken on the planet. Fun fact“

“I go to this Subway for lunch 6 days a week/week, and love it. Cecelia is the manager, and she is always upbeat, friendly and joyful. She also hires the best staff who are just like her. Loraine is one of her staff , and she is a complete joy every time I go in. I can’t say enough good things about the staff that is always friendly, and easy to work with. Also, the store is always very clean, and well stocked with drinks and chips.“

“This Carl’s Jr. went above and beyond today! I had placed an order through the app thinking I placed it at this Knoll road location. I went in to pick up my order but I discovered I placed my order in Lake Elsinore. I heard Alfredo the cashier mention this to his coworkers while I called the other Carl’s. As soon as I got off the phone to cancel the order, Patricia, which I believe is one of the managers, wanted to know what I ordered so she could get the order transferred. I showed them the order on my phone and they got the order promptly made. I offered to pay because I was told I would be receiving a refund but Patricia and refused and said it is ok, don’t worry about it. As I finished up my meal, the employee from the Lake Elsinore called me back to reassure me that I would receive a refund in 1-3 business days. I waved Patricia to inform that I just got confirmation of the refund and that I insisted on paying for the meal. She still refused and said it is ok. The only thing she asked of me was to leave a Google Review so here I am. Thank you team Carl’s Jr. in San Marcos at the Knoll road location and a special big Thank You to Patricia and Alfredo!“

“Sal is the best guy there! Came in shortly before their closing time, Sal greeted us with big friendly smile and offered to make some of the dishes that were out. While we were waiting, Sal also came up and offered water cups to us and other customers. The check out process was also speedy and pleasant. Exceptional service!“

“I don't usually make a big deal about lids, but the restaurant was out. Then it was closing time and the employee rushed me out with a container with no lid. Not necessarily happy having a container in my car with no lid. Employee didn't offer a smaller cup with a lid.“
