Discover San Marcos
Between two of Texas' largest cities is San Marcos. A college town with a meandering river, San Marcos has a lot of great food to offer. This region of the state is known for Tex-Mex food, and San Marcos takes it to a high level with the town favorite, a guacamole and queso burger. [If you aren't in the mood for guacamole, stroll through the local food truck park or enjoy Texas hill country cuisine on the courtyard of one of San Marcos’ original restaurants. You’re in Texas after all, so you'll be sure to find steakhouses and barbecue shacks. Sandwich shops, cafes, bakeries and coffee houses satisfy when you're looking for something on the lighter side.
