This was our very first time eating here it was great. My husband got a grilled mushroom, spinach, onion, and cheese quesadilla with beans and rice, I got fried chicken fingers with double rice. The food tasted great, service was great very fast and hot and ready in less than fifteen minutes. The restaurant was decorated with neat things. We will be back because it is close to UAB West Hospital. read more

The food is always fresh, service is always top tier and the ambiance is casual and comfortable. The only occasional problem is sometimes the cheese dip is a little too thin. Overall, my adult kids and I love this place and the service they provide. I highly recommend their chicken fajitas or their chicken fajita quesadilla but really everything is good. read more

The Steak Fajitas were excellent. I will definitely eat them again. Beer is only in a bottle.

This location was very good. The servers were quick at serving and continued to check to make sure if there was anything else needed. The interior seems to be upgraded maybe bc this shopping center doesn't seem new but this inside of the place seems brand new. The food was good. read more

Super friendly staff! Great food! Killer house Margaritas! Can be a real crowd-pleaser if you have a big group. Great for family dining. Probably the best Mexican dining experience in the Birmingham area. Catch sports on the television in the dining room. PROS: the food and service. CONS: Service can be slow. Hasta Luego! read more

This place is fine. I didn't see any roaches (thank god), but it wasn't exactly a heaven sent meal. Pros: The usual free chips and salsa, though the salsa was bland and the chips were hard. Service was okay, albeit slow. It wasn't as rude as others would have you think. Prices were reasonable. Cons: My chile rellenos just weren't good--meat tasted old, the peppers weren't cleaned properly, etc. Beans were watery beyond the consistency one could eat them with a fork (ew) Mediocre Mexican, reasonable prices, you'll be fine if you keep expectations low. read more

How hard is it to get an order right?! Everyone is nice enough, but I think it is because of the language barrier. I repeatedly asked for my food to be prepared well done and although the waiter assured me that he understood, it came out medium at best. I have to say, this is the absolute last time I waste my time (the food was taken off the menu) read more

The service is perfect. The food taste amazing. They always get the food right I will always love this place. and the cheese dip is perfect.

If your hungry, give it a try. If you can wait to eat, then go on down the road. Sadly has gone downhill since coxid. Jabaneros just across bridge is better for the money. read more

When in McCalla, definitely stop in for a frozen margarita or David's special sangria mix. read more

We stopped here on Sunday for dinner. We asked to be seated at the patio so we could watch our car that had our dog inside. They do not allow pets at the patio outside. The outside patio is fenced in with a tall wrought iron fence that is locked. Felt a little like a jail. We ordered a chicken chimichanga and a chicken quesadilla. The quesadilla is served with the meat and cheese in a flour tortilla and no tomato or lettuce. It also comes with rice and refried beans-sort of.... I swear to God there wasn't a single bean in the sauce. I searched. Nope. Just sauce. No beans. There was minimal chicken and cheese inside the quesadilla. Disappointing. Same thing with my spouse's retried beans with his chimichanga. No beans in the retried beans. None. After I pointed out my plate had no beans, he looked too... The service was good which is the only reason it earned 3stars instead of 1, but overall, we were not impressed with the food. 10/19/2019 update: met friends here for dinner. There was a black hair in the salsa. read more

Great people everyone. Try it and enjoy the fajitas and nachos! But also all the other opportunities!

The food is pretty good, the service and customer service is even better! They are very friendly and personable. The atmosphere is sometimes chill but sometime the crowd can be a little loud! Music is at a good level but when theirs a ton of people I can't really hear the person next to me but it's okay lol read more

The guacamole was really good. My husband enjoyed his quesadilla with rice and beans. I got a taco salad that was supposed to be shredded chicken but was really just cubes chicken. It wasn't great. My husband saw a roach by our table on the way out. I probably wouldn't go back. read more

San Antonio Grill - Guacamole Dip - Tex-Mex Near Me - Mc Calla, Alabama

Went in, asked to sit at the bar since nice we only wanted a margarita. They seated us, gave us chips and salsa and menus and never came back. After 20 minutes we left. Not even an apology. Won't be darkening their door again. read more

The best customer service!! Food was amazing and the owners even provided great service. Very good and would definitely come again!

I thought I was having a late lunch for one after a dental procedure down the street, but they provided chips, dip AND a companion. I was a regular when this place first opened and I lived in the neighborhood but unfortunately like many restaurants, it looks like they have gone down hill. The young cashier didn't seem too concerned about it as she swiped my card. Why do they even ask "How was everything?", and not address the issue? I guess all I have left for SAG are memories. (and the last one will not be a good one) :( read more

San Antonio Grill - a bowl of tortilla chips - Tex-Mex Near Me - Mc Calla, Alabama

This restaurant is not only reliable, but very good as well. I have thoroughly enjoyed eating at this fine dining establishment. Very good rice, as well as very good chicken with cheese on it. I love Mexican food. It is very bussing as the kids say. read more

Great service. Great food. Good prices. Have been coming here for 15 years. Got the fajita taco salad and fajita nachos-- so much food. read more

They are very professional, with everybody , food is good as well, my daughter go all the time

This restaurant isn't a real Mexican restaurant and if it was it would have horchata and more drink, not just coke. Also the food isn't even good here and when they give you the dish and it come with beans with cheese, rice, and lettuce, the lettuce doesn't even have anything on it only has sour cream. This place isn't a good place the have dinner or lunch at. I don't recommend read more

Came here with some friends about 1:00 on a Sunday afternoon. They were somewhat crowded, however we were able to be seated immediately. As with most of the Mexican restaurants in the area they were quick with drink orders and had chips and salsa out at the table before the drinks. Menu is full of the normal things your would expect. From Fajitas to Tacos to go along with all sorts of lunch combinations, there is something you will find on the menu. Waiter took our orders and our food took a little longer than most Mexican restaurants in the area. We needed to request additional salsa to keep snacking on chips until our entrees arrived. When they came out they were spot on with one order. Two Shrimp Tacos with Rice and Beans. My other friend didn't get the sour cream and had to request it for a second time. My order was placed for two tacos (one steak and one shrimp) and all rice/no beans. The order came out and had rice and beans. Everyone waited for my food to get fixed up and returned. They were nice and got it handled, but there really wasn't anything special about the taste of the food. Both the shrimp and steak taco were prepped with the same toppings. Typically there is some kind of difference between a beef/chicken based taco and seafood tacos. Usually the seafood is going to have a slaw type topping with a different flavored salsa, but not these. The staff was friendly, but could stand to be a little more attentive once the meal has been delivered to the table. Prices seem reasonable/comparable to other Mexican restaurant lunch specials. Overall I wouldn't rule out returning If I was with friends and they wanted to come here, however I wouldn't go out of my way to return. read more

Have been going here since they opened. The food has Always been good !!! Will continue to give the m my business.

This was my first and last time I'll dine at this restaurant. The food was mediocre; the friendliness of our waiter was terrible. He didn't smile, was not courteous and barely spoke. I don't recommend this location. read more

I honestly do not like the entire environment. From walking into the door until leaving. The workers are not friendly and they take for ever just to take your order. The food is rushed and sloppy. We only saw our service twice (taking our order and to give us our ticket). Once we finally was about to check out , the waitress overcharged us. We brought it to their attention and yes it was fixed. read more

The food was great snd the people were really nice. The margaritas are heavenly. I would definitely recommend this place. The atmosphere is casual. read more

Veggie Quesadilla and Veggie Burrito are some of the best I've ever had. Definitely recommend that over anything else on the menu (I'm not a vegetarian). Table salsa leaves a little to be desired but it's not awful. Service is always good. read more

Food is bland (authentic?) Mexican. Fajita meat (chicken, beef & shrimp) was tender but tasteless. Service was ok but cool. We wouldn't come here again without trying all of the other nearby Mexican options first. read more

I'd heard about a wonderful sirloin steak San Antonio Grill had. I finally convinced my hubby to try one. While the flavor was pretty good it was tough. He was not a happy camper and said well I told you so. He really wanted his $25.00 back. Just saying if you like a flavorful but tough steak then you're good to go. read more

I went here with a friend because this is where she wanted to go. First off I always look forward to eating out and I always want to like the place. The chips and salsa, not good. Cheese dip was the traditional cheese dip you get at Mexican restaurants. I guess it was the best part of my meal..? I ordered the fajita taco steak, no seasoning no flavor on any of it. The steak tasted frozen but I don't know if it was or not. I also had the Spanish rice..? It didn't look like Spanish rice or taste like it. Sorry:( I hate leaving negative reviews, but it just wasn't good. read more

This is probably one of my favorite restaurants. I love the food here and I especially love the queso. The service can be a little slow sometimes but most of the wait staff still make up for that. The chimichanga with shredded beef is my go to staple, can't really go wrong there. The steaks they serve are better than most of the steaks at a steakhouse. I've never had an issue receiving a perfectly cooked steak from here. Also to be mentioned the margaritas are superb on the rocks. read more

Ehhhhh... one word. Mediocre. My hubby and I went here bc we were hungry before a movie and the high yelp ratings... disappointing. Firstly, the hostess yelled at us "how many" from across the restaurant then motioned us to come around. First red flag of the afternoon. The service was so so. She brought us everything we needed but we had to ask for a water refill. The food. It was okay. We had cheese dip that was good(4.95) and a decent size. The salsa was also decent.. I had the steak quesadilla a la carte (6.50) and my hubby had a lunch special (5.95) with a beef taco, beef burrito and chicken enchilada. I wish I would have gotten what he ate. Mine was really bland and the most expensive...oops! His food, on the other hand was quite good. Flavorful shredded chicken. Overall, we would not go back. We were just in the area to watch thor at a non crowded theater. If we wanted mediocre, we could've gone fast food and saved some money.. read more

Fast friendly service and good food. They have been around a long time. And, the dining experience has always been enjoyable every time I go. My ex wife liked going there a lot. And, she alwas said I like going there to see the senioritas. Sure, the senioritas are pretty. But, I go there for the delicious food. It's a fun place to have a meal with friends. I'll be back. read more

What a surprise. Pure coincidence brought us to this place after a long day of work. I liked the outdoor seating and the fresh and tasty vegetarian choices. And all this for a very reasonable price. Congratulations, that is worth four stars. Btw: this seemed to be a Mexican place. Not American traditional. read more

This is the sorriest Mexican Restaraunt in town. I just hate to say it... I have eaten here multiple times and its just terrible. Every thing is bland, the rice is just white rice- well more of a paleish brown- the chips always taste burnt . My cat could make better salsa. My wifes bunch has all the family birthdays here and eat here alot and frankly, I'm dumbfounded. I mean honestly most of these Mexican restaurants are very similar, they all get their food from Sysco or some supplier, but this place here?... I dont know what to tell you. That slop aint fit to eat. read more
