01 The story, in three paragraphs

Why everyone keeps coming back.

Las Costillas de Sancho San Marcos is a standout dining destination located in the vibrant heart of Aguascalientes' Feria zone. Specializing in an impressive array of meat cuts, this restaurant delivers an authentic and deeply satisfying culinary experience for lovers of rich, flavorful cuisine.

The star of the menu undoubtedly lies in their expertly prepared ribs and succulent asado cuts. One of the most memorable experiences here is the table-side preparation of the meat, where your chosen cut is flambéed with tequila, creating a spectacular visual feast that also infuses the meat with a uniquely bold and aromatic flavor. The tender, juicy texture of the meat, paired with this exquisite technique, leaves a lasting impression on the palate. Fans of fine wine will appreciate their well-curated selection, featuring notable regional options alongside premium imports, perfectly complementing the robust flavors of the dishes.

Beyond the main attraction of meats, Las Costillas de Sancho San Marcos thoughtfully includes options for vegetarian diners, showing their versatility and commitment to all guests. The live music on certain nights adds an inviting layer to the atmosphere, creating a warm and festive ambiance that elevates the dining experience. Whether you choose to dine downstairs or enjoy the elevated view from the second floor, especially during the bustling fair season, the setting is as inviting as the food.

Service here, while generally attentive and friendly—earning praise for the kindness of the staff and the quick pace of service—has room for improvement. Some guests have noted a few isolated incidents of overly assertive behavior from waitstaff, which the management would do well to address to maintain the restaurant's welcoming vibe."

Overall, dining at Las Costillas de Sancho San Marcos is an indulgent journey marked by high-quality ingredients, expert culinary craftsmanship, and a lively setting brimming with local character. It strikes a particularly strong chord with families, friends, and couples looking for a memorable night out with elevated flavors and a sincere taste of Aguascalientes hospitality. Though prices are on the higher side, the caliber of food and the rich sensory experience make every peso well spent.

If you are seeking a place where tradition, taste, and atmosphere converge beautifully, Las Costillas de Sancho San Marcos promises a meal that is both hearty and heartfelt—an essential stop on your culinary tour of this vibrant region.

Restaurante donde la especialidad es toda clase de cortes de carne. El asado de carne lo preparan kunto a tu mesa donde puedes disfrutar de un flambeado con tequila muy espectacular y que le da un matiz muy interesante a la carne. La carne tierna y muy gustosa. Gran variedad de vinos tanto de la zona como de importación. Tienes también la posibilidad de comer um muy exquisito jamón de bellota español. El personal muy atento y amable. Relación calidad precio aceptable

Hay una sola cosa mala sobre este sitio: los meseros muertos de hambre que exigen de forma grosera e impertinente su propina, exigiéndola de manera imprudente y con mal modo. ¡Ojo para los dueños! Es un buen lugar y la comida es excelente, pero los meseros, especialmente los que están en el 2° piso arruinan el lugar, son horribles. Deberían despedirlos, o darles de comer... porque andan hambreados los pobres

Me gusta este lugar. Las costillas son ricas. Me tocó que hubiera musica en Vivo, que agradable. Lo unico que no me gustó fue que llegaran personas a la mesa ofreciendo comprar botellas de tequila, eran insistentes, pero nada mas.

Todo el personal te recibe de manera muy amable, tienes la opción de quedarte abajo o estar en el segundo piso donde puedes disfrutar de la vista sobre todo en época de feria, el restaurante es bonito y todo se encuentra en buen estado, tiene buen ambiente para ir en familia, amigos o con pareja, recibimos una atención muy rápida por parte del personal, los costos son elevados pero vale totalmente la pena, toda la comida estuvo súper rica y pasamos un rato muy agradable, los sanitarios se encuentran limpios y en buen estado, definitivamente regresaría.!!

Visited Las Costillas during our yearly trip to la FNSM 2024 in Aguascalientes... I was excited to try their ribs but a bit disappointed in the dryness and lack of meat on the ribs. We chose 4 different sauces on the ribs, and our favorite was the bbq flavor. We ordered chistorra, and that was unbelievable. The mezcal drink was fire. We love the atmosphere and live music. We will definitely go back but will have to try something totally different on the menu.
