Wow, y'all. Being from Houston - with its amazing food scene - I was skeptical when a colleague of mine insisted that I try Prik Nam Pa in San Marcos. But holy smokes, this place is legit! The yellow curry with chicken rocked my world, and the roti banana dessert sent me off into the most wonderful food coma. You know that when your food is being cooked by an old Thai man who speaks little English, it's going to be authentic no matter where you are. Get in there!

Wow!! I have been on a mission to find great Asian food in Texas for the last fifteen years. I finally found it while rushing to get some food during a break in jury duty! I tried to find something "different" to avoid the lunch rush. What better than the side cafe in a Thai market? As hoped, it more than met the expectations. You turn left in the market and order from the cashier. There's some paper menus. Then you go to the other side and find a seat. Shortly afterwards this older gentleman will deliver the most amazing Thai meal you can imagine. Oh man, it almost makes me wish I get called up on jury duty again. I went with a classic Pad Thai lunch menu. Came with a wonderful spring role and some soup. Both were excellent. The Pad Thai was just insanely good. It's been about 20 years since I've been to Thailand so maybe my taste buds are aged, but it made me think I was back. If you ever want a great, hidden gem of Asian food - you have got to try this place out.

A+++ Food was fantastic! Authentic and flavorful! Seating is limited inside since it is a store/restaurant, so may consider pickup orders next time. Ordering at the counter was fast and easy. We will be back

My son and I have been craving Pad Thai but haven't found a place that looked good to us in San Antonio. Plus we always put the price into play. Most Thai food in San Antonio seems expensive- for us anyways lol. Since we took a trip to San Marcos we looked and found this little hole in the wall store/ restaurant. They only have 4-5 tables inside the little Asian Market they have but it seems they get a lot of take away. They have split hours and found out Yelp and Google say the restaurant closes at 3pm but actually close at 2:30pm for a couple hours and reopen at 5pm for dinner service. They do have a lunch menu with items starting at 9.99$ (pad Thai) and going up to 12.99$ and they have a regular menu with curry's, fried rice etc. Very responsible prices While we waited we checked out the few aisles of Asian items in the "store". Ending up spending and extra $20 on my kids favorite noodles that are hard to find. They have a small selection of fresh veggies and fruit. Tons of noodles. Sauces. Curries. Plus a freezer with the most popular Asian items to cook with . Within just minutes an older gentleman brought us ice water and some yummy fried wontons and sauce to snack on. I love fried wontons so this was a plus! Within another 5-7 minutes he brought out our beautiful plates of pad Thai. Fresh. Hot. Smelled sooooo good. The gentleman at the store who took our order was the best. Great customer service and great food! We're already trying to plan to go back!! It may not look like much but this place is great!

Excellent food - and I like the Asian groceries, too! Small dining area, but great take-out.

This place is consistently good! It does take a while to get your food but it's worth the wait!

Some of the best Thai I've ever had. The service is wonderful and everything came out quickly even though they were busy. I love that you can also grocery shop in here! We tried the spring rolls 8/10, Tom Kha gai 10/10, pad woon sen 9/10, chicken fried rice 9/10. I drove 45 minutes to have Thai food, and I'll do it again for this food!!

I was struggling to find Asian markets or good Asian food in San Marcos. The closest Asian markets I knew of were in north Austin - so far! I needed to prep food for Lao New Year, and heard about this place. I went and I was surprised with how much it had in this tiny market. I was so happy! I got majority of my ingredients from here. It was nice being in a locally owned Asian market, where I haven't really seen them in the San Marcos area. Will definitely be coming back!

I was excited to try out the Thai food scene in San Marcos and came across this Asian supermarket with a restaurant in it, I was excited to try it out! I liked the ambiance of a family-owned market/restaurant. Pad Thai - This wasn't the best Pad Thai I ever had, but I loved the flavors in this dish. It was too sweet for my palate, but I could still enjoy the different flavors and textures. Loved the crunchiness of peanuts in this dish! A plus - this was a huge portion! Overall, I would definitely come here again and try some of their noodle soups!

To say I was pleasantly surprised to find this place is an understatement. They have the best bowl of beef boat noodle soup that I've had since Thai Town Los Angeles, CA. I wasn't expecting much from this area and was searching for some noodle soups after hitting up the premium outlet. We are so happy we found this hole in the wall place and had a chance to try their food. Items ordered: * beef boat noodle soup $12.99 - 5 star, absolutely nothing I would change about this dish * tom yum noodle soup w/pork $12.99 - 5 star, love everything but wish they would give a side of peanuts or add it to the soup * pad kee mao w/chicken $12.99 - 4 star, lacks a little bit of salt and seasoning. This fell a little more on the blander side. Try one of their steam buns. I had the bbq pork one and went back for three more before I left. They were out of Thai tea and Thai coffee. Aside from purchasing directly from the market, they offered hot tea or water from the kitchen station. Every dish came out one at a time but they provided complimentary wonton chips. This is a mini market that sells some essential Asian groceries with a few tables inside for dine-in. The cashier appears to also wait on tables and might also be the chef! I noted many people ordered for takeout while we were waiting on our food. The downside is that they have 5 tables for dine-in and the food does take some time to prepare. If dining in, prepare to wait for some delicious eats!
