On the 18th of August 2010 I was traveling through Clanton Alabama. I was told about a Mexican restaurant in the area, (San Marcos Mexican Restaurant). I was told it was on of the best in this small little town of Canton AL. I had been gravely misinformed. Upon our Arrival at the restaurant we were ignored by the hostess for the first couple of minuets of our encounter. When we were finally acknowledged we were treated is if we were not even good enough to be in there restaurant much less eat there. Due to being on the road that day already for approximately 12 hours we chose to stay after all we had been told the food was excellent. Upon arrival at our booth we discovered that the restaurant was also lacking in the area of cleanliness. We should have left at this point but due to our travels on the road we were exhausted and chose to stay and order, when the food arrived we knew for sure that we had followed the advise of someone who obviously never tasted Mexican food or did not have a taste bud left in there head. Most Taco Bell’s could be classified as a four star restaurant compared to this establishment. And it doesn’t end there, that day happened to be my birthday, my son saw the wait staff singing Happy Birth Day to other patrons of the restaurant he thought it would be neat if they sang to his father that alone would have been OK but after their performance one of the wait staff proceeded to smear whip cream and strawberry sauce on my face this may be OK for a child but, I am a grown man, after the waiter did this once and saw that I was less than amused you would think it will stop at this point, it did not continued on for a total 3 smears one on my nose and one on each cheek. I immediately took my complaint up to the front counter, where this complaint was not taken seriously. I would not recommend this restaurant to any one. If I saw a stray dog eating out of the dumpster I would have to take it to Taco Bell for a real meal. Unhappy Guest of a Disgusting Little Restaurant in Clanton, AL

Went to San Marcos today ordered queso cheese and completely ate all of it before waitress came back for drinks. Shes just having a bad day right? Next she brings 2 drinks one for my wife, one for my daughter. 5 minutes later she brings the other two for me and my son. At this point she took our orders, we thought at least. She goes to the back and we dont see her for a little over 25 minutes except when she ducks in and out of the back to a couples table in the corner. Man she was at that table 3 times the 3rd time my wife flagged the waitress down and the waitress ignored my wife completely and darted to the back. In the meantime we were out of drinks and chips flagging down other waitresses to get things. 10 minutes after that the original waitress brings our orders out except for my sons order which she then said we didnt order. He ordered 1st. It was a ridiculous statement. Then my wife told her wed like some more salsa and said we didnt want her to forget. She went on to try to say she had came to the table several times. Then I told her we hadnt seen her for 25 minutes and another waitress actually helped us. The crappy waitress then laughed and walked off. At that point we asked management for boxes to take our things to go to try and not make a scene. Thats when the manager actually told me she had get this 12 tables should have told him she was too busy. There were only 14-16 tables actually in the restaurant at the time with three other waitresses plus if he knew there was an issue why didnt he step in. All in all Ive been to this restaurant many times living in Clanton. I wont go back again though. The management are just slightly better servers not real management. The servers are an absolute embarrassment. Avoid eating here at all costs!

There was terrible service at the restaurant the person that was taking my order was none other than the owner of the establishment. I ordered a beer but was brought chips and salsa and then had to pay for the item. If the owner doesnt listen to the customers order and brings something that wasnt ordered and still proceeds to charge me for it without telling me. What kind of example is he setting for the employees that work there? I would never eat there again.

We just moved to Clanton from the Birmingham area and this is the first Mexican restaurant weve tried. The staff was very friendly. The restaurant was clean and decorated nicely. The murals on the wall give the place an authentic touch. Our family enjoyed everything from the fresh chips and salsa, homemade sweet tea, and the entrees. They have the best HOT salsa that is perfect with steak and fresh corn tortillas! Well be going back soon!

Horrible food! It has no flavor and is FAR from restaurant quality. The menus is a joke. Horrible server!! The hostess must hate her job, very uppity and rude. The waiter was an a-hole. The parking lot is virtually non existent, and the décor is nauseating. I will most likely never return. Dont waste your time.

My family and I go here at least once a week. The food is great. The prices are very reasonable and the service is always great as well. The owner himself even serves the food and buses tables and will sit and chat with u too. Love this place.

Im a resident of Clanton, and I USED to go here all the time. The food is OK now, but simply not as good as it used to be. The service has become AWFUL. I now go to Tres Amigos, which isnt much better.

This is one of my top 2 favorite restaurants in Clanton, Alabama. The food, especially the Cocktail de Camarone, is amazing. The staff is friendly and they make the best mixed drinks ever.

We were there on 9/3/2011, with a five-year-old up past his bedtime. The service was great. We had some of the combination plates, and kid had a Mexican pizza. We were all very pleased.

Have eaten here for years and years. Very rarely have I had a bad experience. The sweet tea is good! Cheese dip is good! Fried ice cream is good! I love the steak fajita quesadilla.

Everything we tried was awesome. The stuffed pablano was mouthwatering. The pallea was the first I ever had and its a favorite now. Definitely recommend this place.

Shrimp quesadilla was fantastic. Chicken fajitas were the best my husband and I have head anywhere. Will definitely be back when in the area.
