Cheese Enchilada Plate Asada nachos  Quesadillas
Andrea G.

Definitely 10 out of 10 especially for drive-through! Me and my boyfriend ordered a quesadilla with a plate of cheese, enchiladas and a plate of asada nachos Omg EVERYTHING WAS SUPER YUMMY ! Not at all places can satisfy me with their taste of rice, but their rice was super good The guacamole and the sour cream were also fresh which I feel like goes a long way because a lot of restaurants usually don't keep their condiments fresh ! all of my salsa containers were filled up which most of the time they're only halfway filled or not even halfway at most restaurants. And the drive-through people were super nice. Definitely recommend those asada nachos for sure !!

I used to go to Mama Margie's all the time when I used to work at USAA. I was at that company for 19 years and I feel confident saying that I visited Mama Margie's at least twice a month for every year I worked at my previous company. I love so many things on their menu, but now that I have gone pescatarian diet, I can't eat as much stuff there. But my go to is their chips and queso, I swear Mama Margie's has some of the best queso that I have ever had. There are lots of Mexican restaurants in San Antonio, but I don't feel like anybody beats their queso for the price and the quantity that they give you. We only came for a snack, but they are a great go to when you want breakfast tacos, nachos, or a margarita.

Pancakes and bacon

Mama Margie's may look like an another establishment.for those not in the know. It is so much more than the other place.I have tried almost everything on the menus and have always had a great experience. The nachos are piled high with beans and cheese . There is enough for 4 people or have as an appetizer. The caldo is fantastic. First time trying the pancakes. You get 3 big , beautiful pancakes. There is warm syrup that you choose to drizzle or just pour a lot over those crest pancakes. My husband had huevos rancheros and said it was up there for other well known restaurants. For fast Mexican food Mama Margie's is the best!

Drive thru

Mama Margie's has been like a family member to me since moving to San Antonio back in '05. It got me through college, 100%. I was fueled by bean & cheese tacos & the free chips & salsa bar. If you are on a super tight budget, this is the place to come. And it's open 24 hours!? It's always lively & hoppin. You might catch karaoke night, or a big game, it's almost always busy. But regardless of how packed it is, your food will come out FAST. It's always delicious, and always consistent. They have two lanes in the drive thru which I use frequently. I can order a couple of tacos and be in and out with my order before the song on the stereo has ended. Their queso is so good, and the margaritas are great. Making it a great spot to hang out with friends and family. Their guacamole is superb. Ask for the 8oz. Quesadillas are a hit. The tacos are a smash. Love the breakfast tacos, too! Their eggs are always cooked perfect. The coffee is self serve and you can refill. It's awesome. ¡Viva Mama!

Quesadillas de pollito and a small menudo.

The quesadilla was cheesy and had an even ratio of chicken. Mmm! The staff could be more friendly. Tables could be clean up quicker in between guests.

Looks much smaller in photos than in person!  Beef Fajita Nachos

Mama Margie's is a staple in our household. We usually get fajitas or the massive beef nachos. It's consistently delicious, affordable, fast, and provides large portions so you never leave hungry. Their self serve chips and salsa station is so fun as well and makes sure you can get exactly what you want and not what you don't. Their warm salsa and the salsa verde is my favorite. Even going through the drive thru is very fast and consistent. The people are welcoming and kind as well as expeditious with any request. They have so many hardworking people you can see from the open kitchen concept that are working efficiently. Everything is very sanitary and colorful and it's just overall an awesome family or even solo place. Their margaritas are good too!

I was charged $35 for this small container.

I went through the drive thru on 5/30/25 at 5:30 pm. I was given the wrong order. I called the manager and was assured that it would be corrected. I drove all of the way back down there and they did not give me my correct order. I paid for a pound of fajitas and was not provided a kind of fajitas. I will NEVER go back. This place is terrible.

Ladies at the pick-up area are rude as hell, they have no customer service and had attitude when I asked for a bag for my to-go items.

I ordered a bean and cheese taco and chorizo and egg this morning. Tacos are expensive and not much taste.

Who or where can I request a new new location to be made? cuz if you would build a new location on 151 and westover hills it would be a huge money maker.

https://www.mamamargies.com/contact-us/ There website has a "contact us" in their menu area. Maybe send them an email and suggest your idea to them?

We ordered the half chicken ($11), and I was honestly surprised by how juicy and moist it still was inside. The outside had a wonderful smoky charcoal flavor, and the marinade was flavorful all the way through. It also came with rice, corn tortillas, red and green salsa, grilled jalapeño, lime, and grilled onion, so it was a really filling meal for the price. We also tried the Bean Burger ($9.79), which was a fun combination of a beef patty, refried beans, cheese, chipotle sauce, and pico de gallo. I enjoyed it, although I personally would have loved a thicker layer of beans. The green salsa was SO good that I ended up buying an extra container for about $5 to take home. The restaurant itself is very casual and no-frills, with a big charcoal grill that really adds to the atmosphere--you can see and smell the chicken cooking. It feels much more like a local neighborhood spot than a polished tourist restaurant. Service was also very friendly and attentive. Even though we arrived late, we never felt rushed, and our server checked on us several times to make sure we had everything we needed. I would absolutely come back for the chicken and green salsa.

The green sauce is my favorite so far of all the pollo asadas places I have tried so far in San Antonio area. The beef fajitas were another favorite. If you're looking for the best pollo asadas in the area; definitely give them a try.

We were first planning to get their viral pumpkin torta but then decided on trying some of their other dishes instead. The Chicharrones came with guacamole and a delicious salsa that was quite spicy, but also incredibly tasty. The salsa complemented the chicharrones, especially once we placed them in tortillas to make our tacos. Four of us shared this appetizer and we were able to make two tacos each. The chicharrones also had a nice crispy skin on the outside but with pork meat available on the other end. I had the omelette de Rajas and it was perfectly seasoned with crispy corn chips in the middle, which I thought went perfectly with the tender delicious omelette and sauce that surrounded it. It came with a side of beans and potatoes which honestly I hardly ate because the Chicharrones were so filling. My partner got the pork mole, and I thought the mole sauce on it was really interesting because it seemed to feature toasted sesame seeds, which gave it a nice crunch and flavor. Please see my pictures to see the dishes we all tried. Our waitress was incredibly sweet, accommodating, and apologetic about the wait. After trying their food, I can honestly say that it was well worth the wait. My only suggestion would be to please be sure that no one plays their in phone or iPad loudly, and instead uses headphones so as to not disturb any of the patrons enjoying they're lovely meals. We will all definitely be back.
