“We were looking for a taco spot that was open on Christmas. Luckily we found Lucy's Tacos! The owner was very sweet and kind! The food was also delicious. We ordered the chilaquiles verdes with carne asada, a sausage egg and cheese taco, and a carne asada taco. The green sauce is a little spicy but is so good! It was made fresh so there was a little wait but was worth it! My mouth was watering as I could smell the meat being freshly cooked. Honestly, I will be going back to eat there and am so happy I found a new taco spot in San Marcos!“

“These are the best tacos not only in San Marcos but in Texas! They're exceptional! Big tacos they pile on the bacon. They're not afraid to load them up. All of the staff are extremely helpful, friendly and super fast. Highly recommend if you're new to town and wanting to try award-winning tacos! This was the first place we ever brought our baby and we dressed him as a little taco. Today at 1-year-old we brought him again and they gave him a drink cookies for the first time! Thank you Loli and all the staff!“

“By far the best taco shop in San Marcos, TX. I have been going to this place for over 8 years and the tacos have always been the same, (DELICIOUS). Fair prices and they're decently sized. Given the fact I've been going so long I've seen front staff come and go, but always polite and friendly :) Definitely recommend stopping in!“

“Some friends highly recommended this place to us, and we had a great first experience on our date night at Balcón. Vanessa, our server, was very attentive and knowledgeable. She was able to ask the right questions to provide the perfect suggestions for both drinks and meal. The carne asada taco was delicious, as were the warm chips with guacamole and the churro donut for dessert. The restaurant is located above Otsu Asian Bistro on Stagecoach. Since it was a nice evening, the garage window/doors were open we could look out over the city. There were also heaters around to keep things comfortable as the night cooled off. The music was lively and not too loud so we could still hear each other. We will definitely go back!“
