If you want more from your favorite authentic Mexican Place, then Sammy's is the Place. Great Food, Good portions and a fair price in today's economy. You won't be disappointed.

This is a great place. Everyone is friendly. The food is really good. It taste like homemade. The restaurant is clean and quaint. A great experience and good food.

My first time here, Great place and great customer service. Delicious menudo and excellent price

Great service, good Mexican food. Was surprised how nice the inside of this place was. It felt really old school and authentic. I had the asada tacos combo, and I added an extra taco. The beans and rice were delicious. The tacos were also great. Weak beware adding extra hot red sauce from the bar. ITS HOT! I like how spicy and tasty it was! They also have free chips, and real salsa to dip them in available from a self serve counter. Overall very good experience, and would recommend.

Great food at a great price! Really good chorizo and egg platter, we were very pleased. Large portions too!! Highly recommend!!!

Ok I love Sammy’s and have been coming here for years for their tacos. They have some of the best tacos in the AV. Recently though, I hosted Christmas at my house and my mom wanted to do tamales so I bought us some pork tamale plates so her and my dad would give their approval. As a side note, we have made our own tamales for many years, since I was a child, at my grandmas house. She has since passed, RIP. But I digress! The tamales were fantastic! Lots of meat and not dry, which can be a common problem if cooked incorrectly. I spoke with Sammy’s daughter who was working the front and she gave me all the info needed to place a catering order. My order was accurate and it all tasted amazing! I ordered 36 tamales, both pork and chili/cheese, a tray of beans, tray of rice, tray of chips and 2 different salsas. I have to say they have some of the best beans I’ve ever had in my life. They are so dang good. Their prices are on the higher side but you’re supporting a local business that truly has amazing food and excellent customer service.

I loved the place and vintage chandeliers. The food was delicious, specially the tacos de tripitas

My family and I always visit this place The wait isn’t too bad considering they’re cooking your food very fresh Place is friendly and very clean
