Prik Nam Pla - San Marcos

This is great local Asian market Thai restaurant combo. I find my Thai ingredients there at reasonable price. Don’t expect to be as big as H-mart. I love all Thai dishes there. They are very authentic. The crazy fish ball is a must try. People who work there are very friendly and have great service mindset.

Excellent food, good selection, fresh ingredients. My only issue is that I like really hot Thai food, and their cooking style doesn't really lend itself to that. Their Tom Yum soup, however, is not to be missed! Delicious! Also, they have a little mini-mart inside which offers a really cool selection of both food and non food items. Foods range from teas and soups to sauces, noodles, seaweed wraps, etc Clothing is also on hand and includes some of the coolest shirts and most comfortable pants for summer. Highly of you browse while you wait!

You could not ask for a better local restaurant! We've been eating here for years, and the food has always been consistently good. It is a true family run restaurant, and you can tell that they take pride in the food that they make. My family loves curry, and even my parents from Houston agree that this is the best. You also can't go wrong with any of their rice or noodle dishes! Our friends and family have all been introduced to Prik Nam Pla and often request it when they come to visit. It's so popular in our circle that in a 9 day period my parents wanted us to order it, then a friend came to visit a few days later and ordered it, and then my wife's parents came to visit the following weekend and ordered it. Today I went to pick up some lunch and left my food at the counter (no caffeine brain fog). John came running after me as I was pulling out of the parking lot to hand me my food. Great people! Great food! The market has an amazing selection of hard to find food items!

Best Thai food in San Marcos! Get the Pad Thai or green curry with chicken. They also have a cute little shop with goodies. I love the sesame salad dressing, octopus chewy snacks and little packaged soups. Great food! I’ve been back many times.

Just ordered food here for the first time today and it was truly amazing, the flavors were bold but yet not overwhelming, the spices were blended well with everything else in the Kao Soy Soup and the vegetables were fresh and plentiful. Everything was balanced so well. Thank you for my first taste of Thai food, I will definitely be coming back.
