The best! Just go and you'll see. The best service and staff around. A great stop on the way to the Sierras, they have a terrific way of making you feel at home with their family ambiance. read more

The food was decent, but the service was so bad that for the first time ever I had to write "never again" on my receipt. What happened was I go up to order my food, I very clearly say 2 tacos, a burrito, a drink, and can you add on a side of guacamole to that? Pretty simple order. It comes out to $25... so, I'm already probably never going back based on that ridiculous pricing. I get my food, and there's no guacamole on the tray. So, I ask "can I get the guacamole I ordered?" And the girl behind the counter says, in a snarky tone, "you didn't order no guacamole, get out of here!" If you didn't hear me or there was some mix up, that's fine. But don't dismiss me! Treat me like a valued customer and be like "I'm sorry sir, I never got that. Can I get you some guacamole?". I would've been happy to pay the lousy $2 that it costs and all would've been right in the world. If the whole thing that I ordered costs $25, it better come with some dang guacamole and about 5 different kinds of salsa! I calmly went back to my table, eat, and add up the prices of everything I ordered. And lo and behold, I'm off $2 every time and I wanted to make my feelings known... 5 minutes later, I'm being chased out to my truck and the girl is hammering on the window like I just stole from her!! She should've been apologizing, not trying to destroy my vehicle!! read more

Best damn burritos! And nachos ,they're mine and theyre tasty too................love sammy been loyal for many yrs

Sammy's Restaurant is one of those rare places that gets Mexican comfort food exactly right. The carne asada is tender, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned, while the wet burritos are rich, satisfying, and smothered in a sauce that brings everything together without overpowering the dish. The chicken burritos are juicy and well-marinated never dry and the vegetarian tostadas are crisp, fresh, and thoughtfully made, proving that every item on the menu gets real attention. Portions are generous, prices are fair, and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. This is reliable, feel-good Mexican food done with care. A true local favorite that keeps you coming back. read more

Been here numerous times. Owners are very nice. The ambiance is average. Never an issue, though I don't like the fact that there is no pricing on the to-go menu. I usually order burritos or tacos. Always great. This time I ordered an asada burrito with a side of lemon. However, after being assured the lemon was in the bag we come to find out we got limes. I ordered the #39 Chile Relleno and beef enchilada. However, I got a cheese enchilada instead, and the Chili Relleno was inedible. Couldn't even cut through the chili with the plastic knife and the texture was terrible, invokingmy gag reflex. I only ate the rice and beans and threw the plate away. $15 right into the trash, total bill $30. Now, I'm not thrashing a business over one bad visit out of dozens, but it irks me when simple orders are wrong. Eating out is extremely expensive, and at the very least the order should be correct. It cost me $30 and I threw $15 worth away. It's not worth the 6-mile round-trip to take the order back and try to get it refunded or fixed. Moving forward I will be careful what I order, verify the price, and check it to see that is correct. read more

Don't eat in at this place rude people bad service and the owner thinks that for being open for 20 years makes it ok to treat people with no respect and he thinks he is better that his customers never to eat here again. This business stinks read more

Wonderful food and service. I recommend this restaurant to anybody who wants to try a good Mexican food, and great service

Stopped by on my way to Arizona to visit friends. Didn't care much for the food. The owners weren't very friendly either.

Went to visit my son to Lancaster California and stopped at this Mexican restaurant on the way. My mother always said small business make the best food because they cook with love. This place just proved her right. The best Menudo con Pata I've tasted in many years. I truly highly recommend it. I wish we had this in Vegas!! read more

Coming from Orange County and was in Lancaster after buying a house, so I decided to stop by and check this place out. I had the menudo and the carne asada tacos, and both were delicious. The menudo was soo good -- rich, flavorful, and exactly what I was craving. I honestly loved it. This is a 5-star review, hands down. Definitely glad I stopped by and will be back whenever I'm in town. read more

The shrimp cocktail and the chili Riano burrito are absolutely amazing! The service is always fast and pleasant! I love this place!!!

The owners need to invest in customer service. The food is ok but not great! The Ambiance is descent

Everything was really delicious and everyone was so friendly!! We will definitely be back!!

Sammy has the best shrimp cocktail, never fails on a hot day and his service is the best, they are always so kind

This is only the second time we've eaten here. We forget that it's there because it's off the beaten path when we're normally in Lancaster. The food comes out quick and it's always fresh and hot and delicious. The staff is super nice as well from the outside. It doesn't look like much. It's kind of ran down looking but definitely worth going there. It's very clean inside. I didn't get a chance to take any pictures of our food. We were so hungry from our day, that we just scarfed it down. read more

The food is delicious, they have drive-thru AND dine in! I have them cater every chance I get! They have a very full menu with lots of options and everything I've had has been great! The owner works in the restaurant, so it's family run, and everyone is friendly and great! Very personal, always ask how we're doing! They have a jukebox and a tv inside always on Spanish! Love it! You can really feel the heritage here! Feels like the genuine restaurants in Mexico! read more

I'm starting by saying the outside doesn't look as great as the food and service is. You walk in and you're welcomed as if it's your home. This is one of my favorite Mexican locations in the AV. The prices are reasonable, especially with the quality and quantity! The nachos are devilishly good! Shoot, I'd be happy as a clam to go for a date night! read more

This is a family-run place that treats you like family! Came in because I heard they have the best breakfast burrito in the AV. They did not disappoint! Got a chorizo breakfast burrito to go and planned to eat only half and save the rest for tomorrow, but it was so delicious I had the whole thing. The service and quality of the food made me feel like I was in my hometown, it has that little bit of extra care and kindness to it! read more

The service was horrible. I bought 86 dollars worth of food. The avocados were rotten and the sour cream was spoiled. When tried to explain what was going on, server, was rude and her was response was, i just had a nacho and the avocados were not rotten and sor cream was fresh. My personal of this place is, it be closed down and the owner should fined for serving in appropriate food to paying customers. The food i got was fit to serve to a pig which we all would eat anything. read more

Been coming here for at least 15 years, always happy with the food and staff ! Love the burritos and nachos !

Recently tried the drive thru food here. Service was fast and friendly. The parking lot is super sketchy, so I suggest trying to place an order over the phone and just picking up. I ordered the chicken enchiladas plate and it really hit the spot. Hubs ordered the carne asada quesadilla and he said he enjoyed it too. We liked it so much that we went back a few days later lol. read more

Called to place an order, very friendly service. The food was delicious!! We had machaca and asada dishes and cheese tamales. Will definitely be our go-to spot. read more

Delicious food and friendly staff.. what else can you ask for. I love their menudo here.. tonight I tried their tripas tacos.. Yum!!

Never been to Lancaster before and we wanted Mexican food for lunch. Looked up and found this place strictly off Yelp reviews. Got here and thought we made a mistake. Don't judge a book by its cover. Sammy the owner was working the counter. Super nice guy. Hubby had shrimp diablo and I had the chille relleno and chicken enchilada. OMG that was one of the best rellenos I've ever had. Food was fast, hot and fresh. It may be a while in the wall but it was totally worth it. Highly recommend. We will be back next time we pass through. read more

This place literally has roaches! I was eating there with my husband and kids and saw a cockroach

Sammys makes all my favorites, Machaca burrito, Enchilada Rancheros Beef, The flavor is delicious and tastes like home cooking. everyone that works there is friendly and happy to see you. the Best, I eat here every week. the lady who referred me to Sammy's told me not to let anyone know how good they are, she didn't want them to get too busy. I believe they deserve an honest review, if they do get a little busier.it's ok, .they're open 7 days, 8am to 8pm or later, read more

My husband and I went here a few nights ago. We usually go through the drive through but this time we went in. The inside of the restaurant was very clean and the service was excellent. The woman who helped us was very nice and of course the food was awesome. We got a chicken burrito and a wet chicken burrito. It came with chips and different kinds of salsa. They were so good, no complaints at all. We'll be back soon! read more

Do not judge this place from its looks or location super good food ordered the taquitos and the fried fish

Food was average. Cheese quesadilla and cheese enchilada was the best thing on our plates. I was looking forward to menudo and was disappointed. The hominy was not cooked long enough to be tender and were still hard. My husband ordered the fish burrito. There were pieces of fish that were tough. Strangely they did not wrap burrito properly and filling was falling out. As for ambience, it was very small with a sports screen saver looping with annoying music. We first sat under table near wall ac unit, we soon discovered that it was spiting condensation at us and had to move. It is in rough part of the city. read more
