I've made a couple of visits now to this new Mexican joint that just opened down the street…read more Food is very good, I've tried the burritos, tacos , and stuffed peppers. Free chips and salsa for dine in customers. Good/friendly service, clean restaurant and bathrooms.

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.

I can't think of a better torta in the burbs even with the bread being average for my rankings. Very filling and awesome sandwich balance. Helps stomach the $14 price point. Taco Arabe - where were you all my life? Normally I wouldn't care for the side dipping Chipotle sauce, but dang, just dangity fire. I'm going to end up trying this at all the other places where I see it now. Green sauce - top tier Red sauce - not my thang, so not going to judge. No napkins in my takeout...only ding. They are generous with sauces.

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!

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

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.

Meat was tender and well seasoned. I didn't enjoy the refried beans. The rice had a good sprinkling of peas. Guacamole, sour cream and diced tomatoes were striped across shredded iceberg lettuce.

I was pleasantly surprised with our experience. They offered free chips and salsa, and also had lunch specials which is always good. The girl at the front had us sit down and brought us menus and the chips and salsa. Steak in the tacos/burritos was tasty although a little dry (which i chalk up to coming after the lunch period at 130p). I really want to come back earlier in the day while everything is fresher! But that being said was happy with the food and it was reasonably priced and the serving sizes were very good.
