First it was the price increase for the Tacos on Taco Tuesday. I am also not happy with the hidden surcharge for cheese $.50. Today my taco was super greasy.

I have visited this Los Fernandez on multiple occasions and have never had a bad food experience…read more They have deals on Taco Tuesday and surprisingly their fries are pretty good if you're a soft / semi crunchy fry person. Smaller spot but open late and they have karaoke going on for some live entertainment. Their drinks are normally solid, my go to margarita is delicious. We ordered some micheladas on our last visit and unfortunately they were flat and not savory. When we informed the waitress she said there was nothing she can do.

NUT ALLERGY WARNING!!…read more My wife and I got food from here yesterday, we got some loaded al pastor fries and asado vampiro. The first few bites good, until my wife started complaining about tingling in her mouth and some abdominal pain. We called the restaurant and asked about any possible nuts and found out they used nuts on their marinade. When we asked what kind, they refused to give that out since it was a secret recipe. Please consider putting an allergy warning in your menu to prevent any preventable trips to the hospital. Luckily my wife only took a bite and not the whole dish and didn't need her EpiPen.

Great Mexican food! Don't sleep on this amazing local gem…read more Very family friendly. Incredibly delicious, savory food that is both filling and satisfying. Chips, salsa, pico de gallo, and escabeche (pickled vegetable) hit your table and is a snack in itself. Salsa amazing. Green & mild. Red & hot rich and flavorful with that toasted char from the tomatoes that really comes through. I do love my burritos, but there's so much to choose from here. Tacos lengua, chorizo, pastor, and more. Great big plump tortas. Mix em up for an assortment of flavors. Recommend getting the caldo de res (beef soup.) An extremely rich and beefy soup with plenty of vegetables and big chunks of beef. Great staff. Waitress couldn't be more accommodating. She can tell you how everything is prepared which speaks of the handmade quality of the ingredients and the dish. Get the horchata or jamaica or mango Jaritos for a good pairing with your meal. Although, they do have plenty of alcoholic beverages, including margaritas, piña colada's and beer to choose from, such as Modelo. Highly Recomend.

Stopped in for a late night bite. I was impressed with the…read morecomplimentary offerings- chips, pico de gallo, mild green salsa, hot salsa, and pickled vegetables (even included garlic!). I ordered cheese enchiladas with both mole and hot salsa and horchata. The horchata was pleasant with a good amount of cinnamon. The enchiladas came out quickly and with sides. Overall the dish was tasty and the mole was well balanced but on the sweeter side for me. It was helpful that I had ordered them with the hot salsa which improved the overall taste for me. Service was quick esp for a late night full meal. Cheo's is in a strip mall and very easy to miss but with a much better option than a fast food stop.

I went out with a couple of buddies to grab Mexican and I suggested we try Los 2 Brothers. Boy, did it not disappoint!! Everything from the chips and salsas, to the birria, to the many types of tacos, it was all outstanding. Margaritas flowed the entire night and the service was great! Truly my new favorite Mexican spot. The food is classy, but the atmosphere is casual. There were people there after work, families getting dinner, just lots of different people. I will most definitely be going back and putting Los 2 Brothers on my regular rotation!!

I finally found the right time to try this place, being in the mood for a dine-in Mexican dinner…read more It's a nice place with pleasant servers, and kudos to the guy who filled my water 3 times. I was torn between a chicken mole dinner or just good old tacos. I opted for the tacos Al pastor with rice and beans. I have had Al pastor at many, many places, and it's been interesting to see people's takes on the recipes. These were, hands down, the best I've had anywhere. The meat was charred nicely, yet tender. The marinade/sauce had the perfect balance between the sweetness of the pineapple and the counterbalance of the lime, cilantro, and onion. I was so proud of my selection, that I ordered some to-go for my daughter to try. I also had a delicious strawberry margarita and finished off with a tres leches dessert. Everything was superb! I'll be back for that mole someday, and will also try their Taco Tuesday. Judging from my food, as well as the presentations of others choices that I noticed, I believe their chef is seriously talented and creative.

The restaurant is beautifully decorated for Valentine's Day... balloons and table arrangements. There is Spanish music playing softly in the background. There is a large tv near the bar area when you first walk in. The waitress let us pick our table and gave us menus to look at along with complementary chips and salsa. The chips are sprinkled with a red powder and the salsa is a green chunky blend... so yummy! She put three different bottled sauces on our table too (see photos) the menu has lots of great options! Something for everyone... kids section too. I ordered the Pozole soup! Oh boy the soup very filling and flavorful. The temperature is just right. The meat is very tender and the beans are nice and chewy (Not hard or soft). This is the best Pozole I have ever had. I will definitely order it again. It came with a stack of crispy corn tostadas, onions, lettuce, and slices of limes! So so yummy! My husband ordered the Fajita Texana (a burrito with steak, chicken, and shrimp) he said the Fajita Texana was very good with all the vegetables and meats mixed together. It marinated well and made the flavor really stand out. We highly recommend dining here and will definitely come back again!

Started off with margaritas--pineapple, mango, and a non-alcoholic one--and the mango was the clear winner. So good. For apps, we got the queso and loaded veggie nachos, and both were fire. The queso was actually really flavorful, not just basic melted cheese. For entrées, I got the Hot Cheeto Burrito, and if you go for one thing, make it this--so, so, so good. We also had the loaded veggie chimichangas and stuffed quesadillas, and everything was packed with flavor. Plus, the portions? Massive. The chimichanga was huge. Ended the meal with fried ice cream and flan, and I was shocked at how good they were since I'd never had either before. Definitely worth it! On top of all that, the staff was awesome--super friendly and welcoming. If you want great food, strong margaritas, and a fun atmosphere, Sammy's is the spot!

07/14/24 - I went to Sammy's Mexican Grill after spending sometime @ Woodfield Shopping Mall. Why…read morewe had a Groupon $15 for $7.50 so it helped defer the overall cost. Before we ordered we were given chips & salsa which we enjoyed munching down on. We split a taco dinner w/4 charbroiled steak tacos w/beans served in a corn tortilla wrap & rice. Even though the price point of $26 for 4 tacos w/beans & rice is a bit much for the meal the quality was excellent w/very generous portions of charbroiled skirt steak topped w/guacamole, queso fresco, cilantro & onions served on a double corn tortilla (our preference). These tacos were exceptional great flavor & very generous portions of thick cut charbroiled skirt steak. The beans were also excellent& served in a small bowl formed and made from a corn tortilla. The rice was very good & seasoned well. Even though we split we had more than enough & left w/our hunger completely satiated. Overall I felt that this meal was exceptional & will definitely go back again if I'm out in that area. I also paired this with/a nice cold Modelo cerveza. I mean what's better than charbroiled skirt steak tacos & a nice cold beer. Our server was very attentive & did a great job. The dining room has a nice decor & there is a large outdoor patio that is great now that the weather is warmer. (A little to too warm & humid for us outside today). Even as I'm writing this review I'm thinking about the thick juicy portions of skirt steak on the tacos & I know I will be back again when I'm in the area (unfortunately I live in Chicago 37 miles away) Thank you for an enjoyable meal

When it's good, it's really good. The flavors hit, everything tastes fresh, and it reminds you exactly why you keep coming back. But the inconsistency is hard to ignore. Some days the food is on point, and other times the meat comes out overcooked to the point where it's almost crunchy, which definitely takes away from the experience. That said, it's still a pretty decent spot overall. The familiarity, the portions, and the occasional great meal keep it in rotation. You just kind of have to accept that it's hit or miss--but when it hits, it's worth it.
