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.

Pancakes and bacon

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!

Drive thru

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!? [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's always lively & hoppin.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]You might catch karaoke night, or a big game, it's almost always busy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Making it a great spot to hang out with friends and family.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Tables could be clean up quicker in between guests.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

Looks much smaller in photos than in person!  Beef Fajita Nachos
Callie D.

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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Everything is very sanitary and colorful and it's just overall an awesome family or even solo place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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.

I ordered a bean and cheese taco and chorizo and egg this morning. Tacos are expensive and not much taste.

Who or where can I request a new new location to be made? cuz if you would build a new location on 151 and westover hills it would be a huge money maker.

https://www.mamamargies.com/contact-us/ There website has a "contact us" in their menu area. Maybe send them an email and suggest your idea to them?

Whenever I travel, I make it a point to visit unique restaurants and experience what a city has to…read moreoffer. Domingo was one of those places that completely exceeded my expectations. From the moment I walked in, I could tell this place was special. The atmosphere is beautiful, upscale, and inviting. The architecture and design throughout the restaurant are absolutely stunning. Even the restrooms were impressive and reflected the same attention to detail found throughout the entire establishment. The food was outstanding. Every dish was beautifully presented and packed with flavor. This isn't your typical restaurant experience--the menu is creative, unique, and offers something different. You can tell a lot of thought goes into both the preparation and presentation of every plate. What really made the experience unforgettable, though, was the customer service. My waitress, Kreizon, was absolutely amazing. She was friendly, attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely made me feel welcome throughout my visit. Great service can make a good meal even better, and she definitely elevated the entire experience. The outdoor dining area is also beautiful and creates a relaxing atmosphere that's perfect for enjoying a meal and taking in the surroundings. If you're looking for a restaurant that offers exceptional food, incredible ambiance, unique architecture, and top-notch customer service, Domingo is a must-visit. This is more than just dinner--it's an experience. Highly recommended, and I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in San Antonio.

Electronic dance music pulsed quietly in the background. The toilets were all individual unisex stalls that were classy, mine had run out of hand towels. Also, the entire restaurant is very dimly lit. I had to use the flashlight on my phone to read the menu, but I have poor eyesight so there's that, but it might explain the quality of the photos I took. The Paloma drink was amazing. It had a great spicy zing in the back of the throat after every sip. Queso was... kinda plain. It might have been better with the add chorizo option. It was very thick. Shrimp cocktail was big, but we started fighting over the shrimp pieces. There was plenty of onion and tomato left over after the batttle. Pollo Asado was a great flavor and the chicken was juicy. Grilled squash that was on the side was good. Chicken enchiladas were good and had freshly sliced jalapeños, which is always a welcome detail. I wasn't able to taste the quesadilla but my daoughter said it was "really good". Fried Chicken sandwich had a great flavor and the bacon was actually pork belly if I'm not mistaken. Sadly there was more batter than chicken. The seasoned fries were delicious and crispy.

It was delicious! The concha was soft, buttery and flaky, with just the right sweetness. We took home the majority of it and it stayed nice and soft instead of turning hard like so many others. 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.
