Don't expect to get food at 8:45pm on a Tuesday. We were turned away. Several tables were eating when we walked in.

Service was warm and courteous. Atmosphere was lively. Plenty of TVs over the bar and scattered over the dining area. Nice patio seating area. Chips and salsa were good. Someone turned me on to the Ramen Birria so I took a chance. It turned out to be outstanding! read more

Food is meh. Service for takeout is bad. Ambiance is usually loud music. Outdoor seating is ok if they don't have loud music. Sometimes it's so loud that you can't have a conversation read more

I stumbled upon this restaurant by accident and stopped in for dinner not knowing what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised. Everything was excellent, good service, great food, generous portions. I will definitely make it a point to return, and I already this place to friends and family. read more

Went to Sammy's Mexican Grill (Roselle location, but they also have one in Elgin), and it was such a fun time. On weekends, they have a live band, and the energy is amazing! Started off with margaritas--pineapple, mango, and a non-alcoholic one--and the mango was the clear winner. So good. For apps, we got the queso and loaded veggie nachos, and both were fire. The queso was actually really flavorful, not just basic melted cheese. For entrées, I got the Hot Cheeto Burrito, and if you go for one thing, make it this--so, so, so good. We also had the loaded veggie chimichangas and stuffed quesadillas, and everything was packed with flavor. Plus, the portions? Massive. The chimichanga was huge. Ended the meal with fried ice cream and flan, and I was shocked at how good they were since I'd never had either before. Definitely worth it! On top of all that, the staff was awesome--super friendly and welcoming. If you want great food, strong margaritas, and a fun atmosphere, Sammy's is the spot! read more

07/14/24 - I went to Sammy's Mexican Grill after spending sometime @ Woodfield Shopping Mall. Why we had a Groupon $15 for $7.50 so it helped defer the overall cost. Before we ordered we were given chips & salsa which we enjoyed munching down on. We split a taco dinner w/4 charbroiled steak tacos w/beans served in a corn tortilla wrap & rice. Even though the price point of $26 for 4 tacos w/beans & rice is a bit much for the meal the quality was excellent w/very generous portions of charbroiled skirt steak topped w/guacamole, queso fresco, cilantro & onions served on a double corn tortilla (our preference). These tacos were exceptional great flavor & very generous portions of thick cut charbroiled skirt steak. The beans were also excellent& served in a small bowl formed and made from a corn tortilla. The rice was very good & seasoned well. Even though we split we had more than enough & left w/our hunger completely satiated. Overall I felt that this meal was exceptional & will definitely go back again if I'm out in that area. I also paired this with/a nice cold Modelo cerveza. I mean what's better than charbroiled skirt steak tacos & a nice cold beer. Our server was very attentive & did a great job. The dining room has a nice decor & there is a large outdoor patio that is great now that the weather is warmer. (A little to too warm & humid for us outside today). Even as I'm writing this review I'm thinking about the thick juicy portions of skirt steak on the tacos & I know I will be back again when I'm in the area (unfortunately I live in Chicago 37 miles away) Thank you for an enjoyable meal read more

My wife loves their Al Pastor and this place is close to the house, but after at least a half dozen visits, they have never brought out our order correctly. Once again, not only did they get my wife's order wrong, they brought our entree's out before our appetizer, and we truly had no idea who our server was. Every few minutes a different person came to the table with no clue what to do when we questioned our order. The server who took our order showed up once during our dinner service and then we never saw her again, and we ended up having the bus boy get our check as we sat and waited a little to long for anyone to come by. And the restaurant was at best half full. I'm not sure what their priority is here, but it certainly isn't service. read more

Sammy's is our go to for amazing authentic Mexican food! The margaritas are made of fresh ingredients and evenly balanced out! We have been here several times and each visit we experience the same great service, super clean and quality food! You will NOT be disappointed when you make this stop !!! read more

Always passed by this place so decided to stop in. Got seated right away. Our server was super informative and always kept the conversation going with us making us feel welcome. We got chips and salsa for a start and the salsa I recommend it had a nice kick to it. Chips were good as well We got steak tacos and baja fish tacos with the beans and rice. I'd say both meals were a 6/10, the steak wasn't too bad just different than expected. The fish was too fishy and couldn't get over it even with having the chipotle mayo on it. The beans were all stuck together with a mush so it wasn't too great. The rice was just okay. The pico on the tacos was good though. Overall inside is pretty small compared to the actual building when driving by it, nice bar area though. read more

They have the most delicious tortilla soup! It has chicken, fresh avocado slices, fresh cilantro and amazing flavor! We love getting this soup on cold winter days to warm us up and fill us up! Martin does a great job taking care of us! They have a full bar, great margaritas and also N/A beers. Their salsa and guac are very fresh too! A great restaurant to have in Roselle, IL! read more

Erick was amazing!! Food was delicious and so fresh. Drinks are Amazing! Made fresh to order!!

The food and service was very nice. Prices were reasonable and place looked nice and clean.

I always have a great dinner at Sammy's. The Food, staff, and drinks always top notch.

Food, service and order taking was amazing. Very easy and pleasant to deal with. I highly recommend this place!

good service, good was pretty good. I would say come here for a few things...the habanero sauce, the pibil with the pickled red onions, and the fancy drinks. I have been to each location numerous times. More so Elgin. But here at Roselle staff is always friendly just not as great of ambience. The dragonfruit margaritas are really good. Might not be on the menu but they will make it. This time I tried the chimichanga. The nacho cheese on top was a little off putting. May have said it on the menu and I didn't read that but either way. It was very good leftover since I couldn't finish it after eating shrimp tacos as an appetizer with guacamole on the side for chips. Also, the grilled onions and jalapeños are worth the $3. Would go back, wife loved the mole enchiladas with chicken. The rice here always has a weird taste similar to the way a gerbil cafe might smell. But beans are fine. read more

We were actually on our way to a different Mexican restaurant when we drove by and decided to turn around. I had forgotten about this location, I think we were at the Elgin location once before. Walking in the have a nice space and a great patio area. It reminded us of One Taco Dos Tequilas until we found out they have the same owners. Service was a bit slow over all but friendly and fine. We started with some good Margarita's I got a very good Guava Margarita and my wife got the skinny spicy cucumber that she enjoyed. The bar menu is quite extensive and the Margaritas are a good size. The chips and salsa was good, I prefer green salsa but their table red was good. For food I could not pass up the Sammys Torta with milanesa, fried egg, hot dog, ham and chorizo. It was even better than i expected, it was excellent, perfect balance, well built (somehow it wasn't just falling apart) the egg wasn't quite as runny as i would like but it wasn't hard either. My wife got the Baja salad, lots of shrimp and pineapple and avocado. We waited around for awhile for the check and take out box as I could only finish half my torta. Good bar, good food, nice please. we will be back read more

Food was excellent and the service from Martin was also great. He made the time there even more pleasant!

Sooo fabulous! Our server (Martin) was so attentive and gave excellent recommendations. Huge fan of the tortilla soup.

I usually have an ok experience here and the food is good, but my recent experience left me feeling used. I was double charged for my meal and feel the waitress purposely ran my card by tapping it and then I saw her put in the chip side. Never did she allow me to drive the payment. She held the device out for me to authorize the tip and then to sign. She didn't give a receipt for either charge. I called the restaurant twice but got nowhere. I am disputing this through my bank and won't be patronizing them again. read more

Came here with my wife for some food and Pina coladas. First time here. Staff was friendly and attentive. I like the restaurants atmosphere as well. For food, we ordered elotes, chicken flautas, & chicken quesadillas. We really liked all the food! The elotes was a bit different than we are used to. But it was still very good. All the food was great. The pina coladas my wife and I disagree on. She thought they tasted too much like alcohol. I kind of agree, I could taste it. But to me, that's a bonus. I get pina coladas often; and I don't like when I get one that tastes like no alcohol is in it. This one I will be back for, the wife will just have to get a different drink. read more

I used to go to the Elgin location often when I lived there and this location is also so good! I ordered 3 tacos a la carte... Surf and turf (steak and shrimp), Don Chido (fajita chicken and bacon), and No Manches (shredded pork). They were all delicious but my fav was the Don Chido. They have great mole too! read more

I will be coming with my husband soon. read more

Sammy's has been one of my favorite restaurants in the area since moving to Schaumburg in 2021. Their whole menu is great, but their pulled chicken burrito is my favorite menu item by far. The only reason i'm rating 4 out of 5 stars is because they exclude their storefront from basically all promotions via food delivery apps (and they raise their prices), yet they don't have a delivery service of their own. It's a 20min drive and while I understand raising their general prices, excluding basically all app promotions is the reason I hardly eat their food anymore. For 2 burritos, service fee and driver tip, almost $60 isn't worth it. read more

We drive all the way to Roselle to drop off our son at the roller rink. Sammy's is the perfect spot while we wait. We've only been disappointed once by the chicken mole. My husband has since been having the tacos which he really enjoys. The drinks are always great. The churros are hot and fresh! And my son always request and enjoys the traditional torta with grilled chicken. read more

Good quality and portions. I had the salad only because I'm low carb but it was good! I'll go back.

Went with my work besties on a Friday night and we sat outside. The food was exceptional and the service was great. Their drink menu was extensive and I had a hard time choosing what alcoholic beverage to get! Since I limit myself to one, I had the red sangria. It was tasty. read more

This place has really become a dump. Prices went up, portions are small, quality has gone down and I am not sure I would call what we got as service. 4 people. 2 burrito dinners, 2 steak taco dinner and a 3 steak taco dinner with 2 beverages was $137. I can get better food, bigger portions and same low engagement service at a take out burrito dive location for half the price. read more

Restaurant review On my recent trip up north, I was craving good mexican food and I saw someone write about the parrillada which seems like a great variety dish, but on arriving my dining partner decided that he did not want that so I switched over to a combo fajita platter. I was surprised by the quality of the food. The shrimp were jumbo size, steak was not chewy, and the chicken was very moist. This also came with a healthy helping of refried beans, rice, pico de gallo, sour cream, and guac. Overall the food was quite impressive. The only downside was our waiter was not too friendly and there was a moderate wait for the food. Overall I will be back to try some of there other food items as well! Pros: fresh quality ingredients (no micro shrimps), large menu, ample seating Cons: server was not friendly Hidden deals: Groupon has cash back at this restaurant if you register your credit card, but they recently changed to a voucher deal. read more

I was a regular loyal customer spending upwards of $60 a week at Sammy's. An incident occurred where they did not properly charge me. It was only $20 but they forced me to pay it two weeks later! I was there a couple times between when this originally occurred and when they made me pay it. Clearly $20 Is worth more to them than my business. I won't be going back! Everything is also WAY over priced. 4 tacos is close the $20! And a meal for two is close to $50! MINIMUM. This place is not worth your time, I suggest Panchos off wise road! Better food, better customer service, and better priced. read more
