12 Best Cafes near San Marcos

“I recently began visiting The Native Blends for my matcha lattes, and they are the best I've ever tasted. Unlike many coffee and smoothie places, their lattes are organic and unsweetened. The menu features a fantastic selection of healthy bowls, beverages, and smoothies. Additionally, Bella the Baker offers a variety of organic baked goods that I've tried and found consistently delicious. I highly recommend stopping by this fantastic spot in downtown San Marcos!“

“When we first visited this restaurant, we were immediately greeted by the owners, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Normally, I don’t enjoy dining with my children because I worry about getting them to sit down. However, they had a charming little area for the kids to play, which made the experience much more enjoyable for both of us. The food was incredible, and let’s not forget about the dessert. I haven’t had a homemade pie like that in ages. We’ll definitely be returning to this place.“

“​Wow! My recent visit to Los Vaqueros Cafe & Grill was an absolute revelation. This place serves up some of the most authentic and delicious Tex-Mex I've had in a long time. The moment you walk in, you know you're in for a treat.
​I had to try a little bit of everything. The menudo was a standout—rich, spicy, and loaded with tender tripe and hominy. It's the kind of dish that makes you feel at home. The carne guisada was another highlight; the meat was fork-tender and the gravy had a depth of flavor that can only come from a well-loved family recipe. And don't sleep on the breakfast plates! My huevos rancheros were cooked to perfection, with a savory ranchero sauce that was simply divine.
​If you're tired of generic chain restaurants and want to experience true, authentic flavors, put Los Vaqueros at the top of your list. This is the real deal.“

“Pies are worth the trip!!“

“Brand new location. Very clean. The regular fare, although the dining room is more modern and more minimalistic, i.e., less like a dining room and more like a cafeteria, a clean cafeteria with plenty of seating. There's covered outdoor seating as well. Free parking and plenty enough. They have an ETA board with status updates on your order. Very cool.“
