I needed to get meats for a BBQ I was having and didn't know where to go until I stumbled across this market. They had a huge selection of different meats to choose from and even had a menu to order fresh food! While I was waiting I decided to try their California burrito and it was amazing! It's also good to note that they have a big variety of fresh vegetables to choose from. The customer service was really good as well, when I entered they said hello and when I left they said goodbye and in between my shopping they happily helped me locate things and suggest what would be great for my get together! Overall I really liked the market it's friendly and has everything you need I would definitely come again!

I stumbled across this gem about 1 year ago. It is truly a mini grocery store with all the awesome Mexican food treats, meats and produce! My son enjoys the sweet breads and I enjoy the heck out of their marinated meats for the grill, and their hot food (to go) is very DELISH as well! I decided to use them to cater a dinner event feeding 50 people. The price was very reasonable, the food was amazing and they were even able to help with some of the serving dishes. The meat was cooked just perfect, the fixins were on point, the side dishes couldn't be better and this gringo was all smiles.....it was a HIT!! Also, thank you to the friendly staff for all of your help!

Best market in north county to get some good quality, premarinated meats. Personally their carne and chicken are the best! Benjamin the butcher there is the best!! Any time he is working behind the counter ask him for your prepared meats. They ask have fresh baked pastries and desserts. So yummy!!! Their muffins are my favorite! One stop market that you can get everything you need for a nice BBQ or cookout with the family or some friends. They have fresh produce, lighter fluid, charcoal, main home items and main grocery store items. All very well and reasonably priced. Love this little hole in the wall market! Would go anywhere else for my meats ever again!! They also have some fresh appetizers by the butcher counter every once in a while that you have got to try if they are ever on display!

WOW!!!! 5 star review of San Marcos Market. I can't believe I have lived in North County for the past 10 years, and never even knew about this market. Driving by the store, you would never expect for the contents of the store in what it has inside. The selection is fantastic. All the groceries are fresh and the store is so clean and organized, you are bound to find more than what you are looking for. THEN... they have food that is made there and sold!!! The meats are amazing! Today we had a spicy red chicken on top of tortillas (I wish I could remember the name of it) and it was so delicious and flavorful! The carne asada is seasoned so well and cooked perfectly. The rice and beans are so authentic and they have every kind of salsa you could want and their guacamole is perfect. San Marcos Market catered a BBQ we had today with over 60 people. Wally, the owner was so helpful with ordering and his staff is so professional and friendly. This was such a good experience, as I have had lot of different caterers in the area for parties I have had,and never had an experience like the one I had with Wally and his staff. I HIGHLY recommend you having them cater your next Mexican fiesta..you wont be sorry!If not a party, I recommend you going in for lunch time or picking up some of their delicious meat and throwing it on your own BBQ. Either way, I am just so pleased with how San Marcos Market has treated us and I will be coming here so much more!!! Thanks again to Wally and his staff!!
