Support Local Businesses in San Marcos - They Support Our Community
Now more than ever, it's important to support businesses that keep money flowing in our local community instead of sending it off to some corporate headquarters far away. Dan has lived here since 1986 and here are some of his favorites community resources.
Amkon Feed (512) 396-2894
360 S. LBJ, on the left, just past the railroad tracks
Our chickens and dogs give them a big thumbs up. For 25 years Randy and his family have had the coolest little feed store in Hays county. They have baby chicks and poultry food, hay, deer corn, garden and pet supplies and they even personally load your truck or car.
Herbert's Taco Hut (512) 353-7440
419 Riverside Dr. near the Tourist Information Center
Genuine Tex-Mex at its finest and good prices since 1976. We frequent the place breakfast, lunch and dinner. The Herbert's Special is a winner. Check out the velvet painting by the cash register too.
La Hacienda (512) 396-5900
1105 Hwy 123
A local grocery store with the best meat counter in the area. They have really fresh vegetables too, often at half the price of HEB. It's a peek at shopping in the near future but English is still spoken here.
Eli's Collision Specialists (512) 393-8965
Hwy. 80 at River Rd.
No one enjoys having their ride crunched but Eli's makes it pretty painless to get back on the road. They do amazing body shop work at a great price.

At their new place by Lowe's, you can find them easily - just look for the big sign. Good portions and price. The ribs, pork loin and brisket are usually yummy. If you want the popular ribs or cobbler, don't plan to eat late!
Gabriel and Sons Upholstery (512) 392-8072
113 Texas Ave. (west side of I-35 S before Wonderworld Dr.)
From couches to cars, these guys are just plain good. Spiff up your ride without busting your wallet.
King's Highway Veterinary Clinic (512) 392-5877
