This is as one of the better revisits we've had in a loooooonnng while. I gave it a 5 first time around, and now working with hindsight, and you know rookie scoring and such. First I really really dig the inside. I remember eating here before the huge remodel or plain old dissembling. It's come a long way. The service was spectacular. Wonderful waitress, attentive, kind, and never had to wave her down. Tamilitos could learn a lot from here! It's not a 5 anymore only because in the time I've eaten at so many places, umm there are just so many better places. Not a knock on it. The food was great quality. Great price. Decent portions. I didn't see any of the things people were complaining about in other reviews. The negatives..the sauces weren't as spicy as we liked, the salsa they served with chips, was almost taco cabana(not a good thing), the flour tortillas were inconsistent. That's about it. The fajita was great. Just wish the ratio of the other ingredients was more balanced. In other words more meat, and less of the rest. The rice amazing, and then beans are like we like them. Just plain mashed beans. No gross, or old refried beans. The guac was missing something, maybe heat and seasoning. Bravo for seasoning your masa for the corn tortillas! Now go teach other places please! The chicharron I'm torn on. They obviously didn't use the bag pork rinds, and got them from the meat market down the street. It's just it was stewed to oblivion. Doesn't need to stew for that long! The best part of the meal was the sopapillas! Nostalgia and we were brought a lot! Perfect way to end the meal! They brought so much we had enough to take home! I don't get the negative reviews here. Is it going to win any Michelin stars no. Is it good to great, yes. We would definitely recommend! read more

Sandra's Mexican Restaurant - Ordered an Asada with onion and got an onion with a tablespoon of Asada!!! - Mexican Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

What a gem! Ambiance was quaint, we were a large table and seated pretty promptly. Coffee was very good, hot and served in the cutest coffee mugs. Food was fire! Huevos rancheros, perfectly cooked not runny ordered over medium. Beans were so good, bubbly hot and yummy. Salsa was amazing. Potatoes were tasty, lots of flavor...but the star of the show...and you know if you visit San Antonio you have to have this star...the barbacoa! It did not disappoint, was so good. It was fresh, hot, not a smidge of fat. All meat and so good! Flour homemade tortillas were spot on. Quesadilla was good. Service was excellent, we didn't need to ask for anything really and we were a big group. Great service guys! First time visiting Sandra's, but will definitely be back when we are in town! read more

Only used the drive-thru but service is always great and quick. The mini taco plate is great and so are the breakfast tacos. The kids burger meal is more than enough food and the burger is well seasoned. read more

My table waited for 12 minutes to be served and greeted by our waitress. When she did come she stood there and said NOTHING. I proceeded to tell her that we would like something to drink and were ready to order. When the food arrived the fajitas and rice were cold. We would've asked for them to be taken back but once the waitress brought our food she never returned. I was at the restaurant for a total of 35 minutes and only saw/spoke to the waitress 3 times (once to take our order, to bring the food, and then to bring the ticket). I won't be coming back anytime soon. read more

I came by after making an order via phone. The restaurant was pretty clean and calm. There wasn't that many people there. As far as food goes, I can't say that I really enjoyed my caldo de res because the meat felt aged and was really chewy. Also, the potato wasn't cooked well or the wrong soup potato was used but I did appreciate that they put a lot of carrots, rice, limes, tortillas, and salsa. read more

Please do not go to Sandra's. The food is terrible. I ordered the tortilla soup and they put Chinese noodles in it instead of rice. Please stay away. Very very tiny pieces of chicken and tiny pieces of vegetable. What a major disappointment from the past. read more

Haven't been to Sandra's in a very long time. Other restaurants of Mexican food popped up and I just deviated. Happen to be in the hood and decided to get tacos. Went through the drive through. Damn!! Food ! The Tacos! Carne Guisada! Omg!!! The Best!!! And my taco actually had meat! Not a cube of two pieces of meat and mostly gravy. The bean and cheese! Amazingly good and the tortillas were fresh and delicious! Guess who's going back from now on!!!! ME!!! No Palapas for me! No Rodeo nor Tapatia! And the prices much worth spending at Sandra's.

Walked in and was seated right away. The room is very spacious and very nice. We ordered and the food came out quick. I had a papa ranchera taco with bacon and my daughter had pancakes. The pancakes were big and very fluffy. My taco was really good as the tortilla was fresh and the papa ranchera had good flavor. read more

Great vibes and the food is decent and also affordable, you can feel like 5 people for 30$

A hidden gem. Prices are affordable. Restaurant is super clean and beautiful restroom too. Service is fast, kind and respectful. Very wonderful first experience. The food of course was DELICIOUS. tender, juicy and flavorful. Just needed salt. Loved everything. I recommend the fajitas a la Mexicana, chicken tasted so good. The corn tortillas were just meh. But the flour ones my family had were HUGE and fluffy. read more

Went with family. First time, not busy inside. They took forever to bring drinks once ordered. Then they bought out our fajitas no fixing or tortillas said they would be back with them. About 13 minutes went by food is getting cold and I asked many people to help us. All said I'll be right back. Nothing. 25 minutes into it I got up and walked over to the food prep area to get help. Again we will be there. Finally 31 minutes later we got the fixings. Then I realized they forgot my daughter's food. Asked for that again we will be right back. Needless to say they didn't come with her food. Horrible service, food got cold waiting on the rest of our meal. On top of it all we paid the full bill. Horrible service, was treated rudely when asked for our food fixings Will never go back. read more

Terrible service!!!!! First and last time there! Not only did it take forever for the waitress to get our drinks but they over cooked the steak she never came to check on us. She assumed we were paying together and never asked. There were 4 of us. Then she forgot our cake we ordered the brought us the wrong cake and then after I complained she told me I couldn't pay up front that I had to pay with her only. I looked at my receipt and she charged me for other people's items as well as added a "to go fee" of 3.50, a charge for pastel????? For $4.99. We didn't get anything to go. She is a crook and just adds charges for her liking . I will be fighting the charge. Oh and there food sucks! I will also be making a report on them for false charges. read more

if I can give zero stars, I would. My Sister and I went this past Sunday to Sandra . There's nothing cuisine about this restaurant. We paid separate tickets. I just found out today, Tuesday, that they charge my sister's ticket and on my credit card. On top of that the Menudo, we order was so terrible. I know menudo is greasy cause menudo is usually greasy, but this was extremely greasy. We didn't even finish it. My sister even got sick.When I called to tell them what had happened. I spoke to the manager Candy, and she just said I'm sorry I can't do anything anymore. Because two days have passed. I will never go back again. Bad Service. Bad food. read more

First timer: Ordered drive thru and got home with my tacos.... ABSOLUTELY DISAPPOINTED! Are the eggs powered eggs? They tasted so cheap and the texture was trash! Tortillas weren't completely done so I felt I was eating masa. In additional to these awful tacos, I got the wrong order on some of them. Highly disappointed in this place. Never ordering from them again. read more

Sandra's Mexican Restaurant - Large Menudo - Mexican Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

This place never disappoints they have excellent food, everything is fresh. The tortillas are homemade. The lengua and salsa taco is so good and so is the Chicharrón taco , for about $10 you get a huge bowl of Menudo and I guarantee you cannot finish it all unless you're a big burly man. If you're around the area, I highly suggest trying this place out it's one of the best hidden gems on the north west side of town . read more

Sandra's Mexican Restaurant - Mexican Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Food: 3 Service: 2 Ambiance: 2 I'm going to give this place a solid 3 because the food was good. There was nothing that was super special about the food, the service or the ambiance but it had solid Mexican or TexMex options. I think the waitress must have had too many tables to tend to since she rarely came by and it took longer to get our check than our food. read more

The ambiance and service were great! However, the food was definitely a no go - my husband and I both got sick immediately afterwards and I vomited in the parking lot. Super bummed as we had high hopes because the decor was on point. read more

Nice place and service but it no not make to for the food . No words , no taste just bland. Not a repeat for me . Wasted $32

First off don't stop here if you are looking for some quick breakfast tacos, because I had to stand around and wait for 10 minutes before anyone came out and I get it- it was a little early. But my order was wrong and tacos were very thin on ingredients and mainly tortilla. Restaurant interior is very nice at least! read more

Dont know where to start. We have been going there quite a few times. Never has been perfect but close to home. This experience with Gabrial was the worst I have ever had at a restaurant. I had to ask for chips and salsa twice. Normally they come right out. Then I had to ask twice for extra napkins. He was so distracted by something on his phone. Go the receipt and was charged for 2 beers and only had one. He said no you had two. Not sure who drank the other one. Charged extra for jalapenos with the nachos even though is say incuded. I can go further but we wont be going back there. I quess we just got spoiled by Louis service when we used to go. Gabrial was cold and non concerning about us as a customer I live in San Antonio read more

I seldom give three stars however, the service needs improvement. It took a good while for someone to come by the table even after asking the hostess about assistance (this was around 10:45 AM). Food however was delicious. The chilaquiles are cooked scrambled mixed with the tortillas chips and cheese on top. I did ask for the eggs over medium on top but was told they probably couldn't do that. Overall, food was decently priced, delicious, and although the service took a while the food came out quick. read more

Sandra's Mexican Restaurant - Mexican Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

I had an amazing experience at this Mexican restaurant! The food was super delicious--every bite was full of flavor, fresh, and absolutely satisfying. The service was incredibly fast, which made the whole meal even better. A special shout-out to one of the bussers, Max. He was so polite and professional, and when I asked for his age, he told me he was only 16 years old! You don't see work ethic like that every day. I was really impressed and tipped him $10--what a real hustler! Overall, this place definitely earned a spot on my favorites list. Highly recommend! read more

Went through drive thru ordered barbacoa tacos, they are the greasiest I've ever had. And who charges $1.00 for onions and $1.00 for cilantro. It's like charging for ketchup when you order French fries read more

My husband and I have been trying breakfast tacos every Saturday morning at all of the local Mexican restaurants. We went to Sandra's on 3/29/25 and has been the worst experience we have encountered yet. The service was horrible. Waitress only came to our table to take our order and deliver food. We never got our waters or spicy salsa which she said she would get and be back. We got 3 bacon and egg tacos and 1 papas and chorizo taco and 2 coffees. The coffee was very watered down and the tacos were nothing to be desired. Needless to say we will not be back. I would recommend Mi Hacienda right down the street, Plaza Tapatia, or El Rodeo de Jalisco. They are all located off of Potranco with much better service and food! read more

Awesome place to get some of the most authentic and great tasting Mexican food. Tortillas are fresh and totally homemade. Will be returning!!! Definitely recommend!!! read more

I thought the atmosphere was very nice and the food was good. The waitstaff was very friendly

Been here several times and always enjoy it! My favorite is their fajita La mexicana. The service is always so quick and in point. Early mornings are always the best! It's quiet and you can enjoy your cup of coffee in peace. Everything is always so nice and clean! read more

Food: 9/10 Service: 2/10 Ambiance: 8/10 Food is really good in comparison to other Tex mex places in the area. Only thing that I was disappointed was the service. Server had too many tables. She checked on us once and forgot a couple things on our order. We had to wave her down multiple times. read more

this place always forgets food when you use the drive-thru. when you ask for a refund they give you the runaround and make you wait forever for the food they forgot. not cool. no apology. just straight up trash service!! read more

We have ordered from them 2 times recently. I found their food to be lacking in quality. Portion sizes are generous, ensuring you won't leave hungry, which is always a plus. However, it's worth noting that there have been occasional instances of items being left out when ordering through delivery apps. While this is a minor inconvenience, it's not a deal-breaker. What is a deal breaker for me is the quality of food. When you order a cheese burger from a Mexican restaurant you don't expect to get a frozen hamburger patty warmed over. I was so incredibly disappointed in my dinner that night. Like they didn't even salt the thing. Last night we ordered again. I got the picadillo plate. It came with a tiny patch of lettuce mix, complete with carrot and cabbage shreds. The refried beans... tasted like water and had the consistency of flavorless baby food. This is San Antonio... what happened here? read more

We stopped in for a late lunch and glad we did. This was our first visit to Sandra's and won't be the last. Our Server, Sascha was friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient. The Fajitas a la Mexicana we're very tasty and the rice was good as well. Beef enchiladas also got a thumbs up. Nice building with a couple separate rooms for large groups or gatherings. We'll be back to sample the breakfast menu. read more

This place has its moments. The tacos I ordered were all very delicious. However, here is a tip: check that your order is correct. On four separate occasions they forgot to put in my extra 8 oz salsa which they charge $2 + dollars for. I always order extra salsa because I have noticed that the little cups of salsa smell like they have gone bad. The food is good, but at time, it can be a hit or miss. For the most part, today was a hit! read more

Didn't hate the food but also didn't really love the food. It was edible but it really did have anything that would bring me back. The food was cooked well but there was little to no seasoning. And the sausage on my taco was really chewy. The staff was super friendly though, and made the restaurant feel very welcoming. read more
