Friendly service & some of the best fajitas around! The owner always makes us feel like we're long time friends.

This place is bomb. It's just as good as it was when it first opened. The staff were very friendly and provided quick service. The restaurant was very clean. They have the best tasting pollo asado out of anywhere I have tried. The flavor is off the hook. read more

San Antonio - Mexican Near Me - Independence, Oregon

Setting is slightly generic but still warm and welcoming. Food was great and didn't taste like the typical microwaved leftovers you frequently see at Mexican restaurants around Oregon. Would've been 5 stars easy but our server put their fingers in our water read more

The wait was not long whatsoever, we went around 6pm. The service was great, not that I'm a person that needs to be checked on a lot but everything was amazing. This was my husband's and I first time going and San Antonio's did not disappointment whatsoever. I am pregnant, so it's very hard to eat anything and I very much enjoyed my food. All the way down to the salsa, I even took a 12 oz cup home. but overall had a great dinner date with my husband read more

We've basically been going to this restaurant for years. Lately, it just hasn't been the same. We ordered our fav, chicken fajitas. They have raised the price to over $21.00, which is too much for what we got. Our fajita dinner had VERY LITTLE CHICKEN in it and just a few "pieces" of pepper. It was mostly onions!!! I kid you not, we each had about 5-6 small pieces of chicken in our dinner, that was it. Equivalent to about one "chicken tender" at best. It was so ridiculous, we found it to be quite offensive. We work hard for our money and really do not appreciate this type of treatment, over $21.00 for a plate of onions is really offensive!!!!! We will never return, not if this is the way they treat their community. read more

Amazing food. Amazing staff. Amazing environment. Overall such a great time and place to spend with people you love.

service was so terrible. we ordered a cheese quesadilla with beans and rice and were charged $22. after looking at the receipt, we noticed we were charged a meat quesadilla (almost $7 more than a cheese quesadilla). when we tried to talk to the employee about the error, she argued and potentially gave us a refund and re-ran our card. hoping that we are actually refunded but she was very rude and short about the whole situation. next, the food. there was tomatoes in my cheese quesadilla? rice was white and flavorless and beans were cold. honestly will not be returning due to the decrease in food quality and horrible service. read more

This place gets a 3 due to service, pricing and speed. The food was typical American Mexican but there were some issues. I had to salt everything. My asada was dry, my husbands steak and chicken were too and the shrimp were chewy. I did like my chili relleno, the egg wasn't burnt but did lack flavor. The beans seemed to be just out of a can with nothing added to them. The rice was mild and again needed salt. I don't know if we will come back unless it's with our small children as the flavor profile suits them. read more

Ever since the spawners moved way up North to the middle of grass seed farming country, I have been dinning regularly to San Antonio. When I was coming here from the South, the experience was always forgettable. But now since I come here from a Northern home (and thus, my Mexican food experiences have been severely sequestered), I find San Antonio to be a good solid choice. Sure there is the mandatory 50% of the plate filled up with a mound of bland refried & rice. But the main courses though are pretty good. When its available, the Chili Colorado is nice. The Chili Verde is OK. Mole is a strong point. Their creamed shellfish varietals are good. Their chips are excellent. They have a hot verde salsa on special request that is a must have. I would of given them 3.5 stars but rounded up due to the direction I was traveling from on this visit. read more

As far as Mexican goes in Oregon, the food was not bad. Had the chimichanga and enchilada and both tasted really good. The pork in the enchilada was juicy and had great seasoning. read more

Great food, killer margaritas, owned by a wonderful family - consistently a favorite place in Independence.

Very cute place inside. Great service and excellent food. The only reason I'm giving them 4 stars is that I think they need a different recipe for the salsa. It taste like it came from a can. Don't let that stop you from eating here, because everything else was great. They even give you a free small desert. read more

Good Mexican food. Only thing that holds me back on giving them a 5 star review would be: 1. The margarita wasn't strong enough, tasted like pure sugar. 2. No beans come with the salsa and chips, which is my favorite part! Other than that, I'd drive here from salem to have some good Mexican food. You can't beat their service either, quick, friendly and seems like the neighborhood meeting spot. read more

If you want a great spot in Independence for quality Mexican cuisine look no further! A place to gather with family or friends and be welcomed whole-heartedly while enjoying a tasty flavorful meal. The staff is warm, friendly and easily accommodating while striving to provide quick and efficient service. They know my parents by name (who frequent more often than I do) and are very attentive to provide quality service. Meals come with chips and salsa at no extra price and have plenty of refills if desired. As I usually dine vegetarian there are plenty of great options or availabilities to substitute. The food is of high quality with fresh, tasty ingredients and there are plenty of options to choose from. Tacos, burritos, enchiladas, tostados, nachos, salads, fajitas etc. Overall I have never had a bad experience and have always had excellent customer service, and it's never too busy that you are waiting long (if you wait at all) to get a table. read more

Been waiting to try this shrimp salad, but was disappointed when I finally had it. The flavor to me was off-putting. I love mushrooms, but I think the flavor of them ruined this salad for me. Something about it didn't taste fresh. Wouldn't order this again. Also ordered taquitos & they were so-so. Probably won't be ordering again. read more

While in Salem visiting my brother and family decided to take a ride on a beautiful spring day and saw this place and stopped in. We're from SoCal and were surprised to see this place in a farming town and absolutely enjoyed the colorful interior and our waitress enjoyed my attempt at Spanish while ordering, she said I was pretty Bueno! The food was all good and we all had a variety of items, i.e., tacos, burritos, etc. for me I had the Chile Rellenos, very good. All in all a good stop and may be back some day. Adios! read more

Fajitas for 2 were fantastic. Service was exceptional and they were great with our little ones. Highly recommend!

Great food! I go here once or sometimes twice a week and usually order tilapia (a whole fish) with rice, or a fajita plate and it's delicious! I told a lot of my friends about it and they really liked it! So glad! The service is always great! I would definitely recommend this place!! read more

Great food and service. Very nice touch is the free dessert. The fajitas were especially good.

Meh. First time here. I had Chile Colorado which had huge chunks of beef in a traditional red sauce, a little heavy in the cumin, refrito frijoles and Spanish rice. Nothing to write home about and relatively bland. We tried it but probably won't be back. My wife had the special, which was pollo en crema. The chicken was pretty dry and the sauce was flavorless. The portions were big but didn't make up for lack of flavor. There are a couple of othe Mexican food restaurants in town and there is a heavy Hispanic influence. I guess we need to find out where the locals go. read more

These guys are great! Glad they have take out during the lock down. Beautiful decor too! We enjoy their carnitas, mole, pumpkin & camarones a la crema. A real treat! Thanks for your great service and consistently sumptuous food read more
