    Cheese Enchilada Plate Asada nachos  Quesadillas
    Andrea G.

    Definitely 10 out of 10 especially for drive-through! Me and my boyfriend ordered a quesadilla with a plate of cheese, enchiladas and a plate of asada nachos Omg EVERYTHING WAS SUPER YUMMY ! Not at all places can satisfy me with their taste of rice, but their rice was super good The guacamole and the sour cream were also fresh which I feel like goes a long way because a lot of restaurants usually don't keep their condiments fresh ! all of my salsa containers were filled up which most of the time they're only halfway filled or not even halfway at most restaurants. And the drive-through people were super nice. Definitely recommend those asada nachos for sure !!

    I used to go to Mama Margie's all the time when I used to work at USAA. I was at that company for 19 years and I feel confident saying that I visited Mama Margie's at least twice a month for every year I worked at my previous company. I love so many things on their menu, but now that I have gone pescatarian diet, I can't eat as much stuff there. But my go to is their chips and queso, I swear Mama Margie's has some of the best queso that I have ever had. There are lots of Mexican restaurants in San Antonio, but I don't feel like anybody beats their queso for the price and the quantity that they give you. We only came for a snack, but they are a great go to when you want breakfast tacos, nachos, or a margarita.

    Mama Margie's may look like an another establishment.for those not in the know. It is so much more than the other place.I have tried almost everything on the menus and have always had a great experience. The nachos are piled high with beans and cheese . There is enough for 4 people or have as an appetizer. The caldo is fantastic. First time trying the pancakes. You get 3 big , beautiful pancakes. There is warm syrup that you choose to drizzle or just pour a lot over those crest pancakes. My husband had huevos rancheros and said it was up there for other well known restaurants. For fast Mexican food Mama Margie's is the best!

    Mama Margie's has been like a family member to me since moving to San Antonio back in '05. It got me through college, 100%. I was fueled by bean & cheese tacos & the free chips & salsa bar. If you are on a super tight budget, this is the place to come. And it's open 24 hours!? It's always lively & hoppin. You might catch karaoke night, or a big game, it's almost always busy. But regardless of how packed it is, your food will come out FAST. It's always delicious, and always consistent. They have two lanes in the drive thru which I use frequently. I can order a couple of tacos and be in and out with my order before the song on the stereo has ended. Their queso is so good, and the margaritas are great. Making it a great spot to hang out with friends and family. Their guacamole is superb. Ask for the 8oz. Quesadillas are a hit. The tacos are a smash. Love the breakfast tacos, too! Their eggs are always cooked perfect. The coffee is self serve and you can refill. It's awesome. ¡Viva Mama!

    Quesadillas de pollito and a small menudo.

    The quesadilla was cheesy and had an even ratio of chicken. Mmm! The staff could be more friendly. Tables could be clean up quicker in between guests.

    Looks much smaller in photos than in person!  Beef Fajita Nachos

    Mama Margie's is a staple in our household. We usually get fajitas or the massive beef nachos. It's consistently delicious, affordable, fast, and provides large portions so you never leave hungry. Their self serve chips and salsa station is so fun as well and makes sure you can get exactly what you want and not what you don't. Their warm salsa and the salsa verde is my favorite. Even going through the drive thru is very fast and consistent. The people are welcoming and kind as well as expeditious with any request. They have so many hardworking people you can see from the open kitchen concept that are working efficiently. Everything is very sanitary and colorful and it's just overall an awesome family or even solo place. Their margaritas are good too!

    I was charged $35 for this small container.

    I went through the drive thru on 5/30/25 at 5:30 pm. I was given the wrong order. I called the manager and was assured that it would be corrected. I drove all of the way back down there and they did not give me my correct order. I paid for a pound of fajitas and was not provided a kind of fajitas. I will NEVER go back. This place is terrible.

And anyone who know me, knows that I test a Mexican restaurant by how well they make a basic rice and beans side dish. This place passed with flying colors. I've never gone wrong with any Mexican place that if they put the attention and focus into rice and beans, then the entrees are pretty spectacular. Check them out!

To anyone who wants to try this location, I will recommend to order the Calle de olla for coffee. If you normally drink your coffee black then I do not recommend it because it is a bit on the sweet side. But they do offer regular pot coffee as an option. (The sweetness caught my mom off guard). Taste it before you add anything to it. I also recommend trying the small conchas-they came out warm and ready to eat! This was only my second time going to this restaurant but both times I have had good experiences. Parking is a little odd. There is parking in the front and parking in the back.

Leads to some concerns about the sanitation & cleanliness while birds are hanging out on half the empty tables and chairs. We could have moved inside and probably would if we visit again. The food was delicious and it is still a great place to try as long as your good with birds. My sister who joined us was a little leery of their presence the entire time.

We decided to try several appetizers to go along with our concha to get a wider taste of their food than we would by just ordering a couple entrees. Let me tell you, this was a great idea! We ordered the Tosti-Ceviche Verde, Panela Asado, Mexican Street Corn, and their Spicy Bean Dip. The Ceviche Verde was excellent, the freshness of the fish and shrimp was wonderful with the chipotle mayo and avocado. We chose to have it on the salsa Verde Tostitos and it was all great combination. The Panelo Asado was a completely new dish for us and was extremely good with a savory flavor from the salsa Tlaquepaque that mixed well with the Panela cheese. Their tortillas though not made in house, are made for them and taste like mom made them. The Mexican Street Corn was great and had the perfect bit of char taste from the corn. It was creamy and flavorful, we did think it could use just a tad more lime juice though. The Spicy Bean Dip was very good. You can't go wrong with Oaxaca, Chorizo, and pieces of pork mixed with some mildly spicy beans. Our server was fantastic. She had great recommendations for us, and was quick with checking on our drinks and generally helping us throughout our dinner. The food was prepared quickly, was hot, tasteful and refreshing. We definitely will be going back, and recommend Pan Fila to all of you.
