My supervisor bought the school team lunch on Jan 30, 2026. He told us the food was amazing! No lies told! I had the chicken nachos and I was
in heaven. I’m going back today, and that will be my lunch, dinner and snack. Great portions.

Went with family to this location and had the Latin pork chop dish and steak tacos. Food was amazing, authentic, and delicious, and service and ambiance was amazing. I will definitely be coming back again.

Absolutely blown away! This place is incredible! I had fajitas and a chili rellano. I consider myself somewhat of a chilli rellano connoisseur, and this was the very best one I have ever eaten. The food was presented so beautifully as well. The service was that of a very expensive restaurant. I cannot recommend Samantha’s enough!

My family has been eating here for years. The food is consistently good with large portions. You can’t go wrong with any of the dishes, especially the more authentic ones. Whether we order fish, chicken, or anything else we always leave happy and full. It’s owned and run by an amazing family and we love supporting a small business like this.

Gross. Disgusting. Needs immediate improvements.
My son picked up dinner to-go from Samanthas the other night, and we were all so excited based on the reviews. Unfortunately, out experience was less Mb than desirable.
First, his encounter with ordering and dealing with ordering staffj was disappointing from the onset. They were unfriendly and seemed annoyed when he had a few questions about placing our order.
This was to-go/ carryout, so we got home and started to dig in. Things seemed fine until a few bites in, my son found a ROACH!!! Then upon a closer look, a fly was also identified. Needless to say, I was grossed out, completely. The restaurant was closed by the time we ate, otherwise I would have taken the food back. My son, however, is so kind that he didn’t even want to return because he was still affected by the poor treatment he received when he was simply trying to order the food. He threw the food away and went to bed hungry. What a complete waste of money and a huge let down. Which, by the way, this place isn’t cheap!
Sqmathas, please get a quality exterminator in there ASAP. And, work on training all employees to provide better customer service, even to those who may not be Spanish speaking. Come on people!

Since we had been to this restaurant once before, we have been obsessing for paella. But, to get to this restaurant during the dinner hour, you take your life into your own hands. It is like driving through Tijuana in a 1957 Chevy convertible. We pulled into the parking lot and we were almost run over by a diesel pickup. It was a nightmare. We entered the restaurant and were met with serenity. The peacefulness and calmness of the dining room was a 180 degree difference from the outside craziness. Our server, Carmen, made us feel at home. She was very gracious. We had mussels and nachos for appetizers and they were both delicious. I have never tasted such a flavorful sauce with mussels. I couldn’t get enough . Then came the paella. The presentation was beautiful. And the flavors were phenomenal. And the amount served for two people is more than plentiful. The food and the service is well worth a visit. Thank you chef and crew.

Such a cool place! The service was incredible. We had a wonderful server who was super nice. The food was wonderful. I was not really in the mood for Mexican and had the Pollo asago. At the end of the meal I was ready to come back the next night!

This place is so cool, I just love how it’s small and organized. And the fact that I live 5 minutes away from here and never been here is sad. The waiter was nice and friendly. The food I had was delicious. I’ll definitely be back with my friends.
