I've said time and time again, the Taproom has the best burgers in town. The combination of the juicy meet, the sweet buns and the ultra fresh toppings is absolutely perfect.
Besides the burgers, they have some seriously amazing sandwiches, such as my very favorite: The Chicken Bacon Pita Sandwich. Yes, I get it without bacon, but the chicken is cooked to tender, juicy perfection and has a great charred spice to it. I really can't get enough of the food here.
Recently, there was a poll taken to decide who has San Marcos' best burger of 2012. Guess who won? Not surprising to me...
THE TAPROOM!!! yay!!! I feel a surge of pride in this little joint located at 129 E Hopkins St., No 120.

The article that ran in San Marcos Mercury highlighted the winning Guacomole Queso Burger, one I have not had the pleasure of trying, mainly because I'm more of an original burger fan.
Travis Kelsey bought The Taproom in 1999 and made changes that turned the the smoky downtown hangout into a bonafide San Marcos institution. The restaurant is famous for its 42 domestic and import beers on tap, but its top-shelf hamburgers can’t be far behind in popularity. Kelsey said the burgers are actually a loss leader — he sells them more or less at cost as a way to get people in the door.“Nobody spends more on ingredients for each burger than we do,” Kelsey said.San Marcos Mercury readers voted the Taproom’s Guacamole Queso Burger their favorite in our first Best Burgers competition.
I'm just very proud of this local favorite institution.
This is one of my favorite places in San Marcos. The only thing that keeps me away from going to eat in town is the SMOKING! Other than that, I can't complain.
