    Rusted outlet cover in the bathroom, should fix that!
    marian r.

    We couldn't get into our usual Mexican restaurant so we tried Saritas. There was not a wait so we were seated quickly, which was really good because my medical appointment was within an hour and I was worried that we wouldn't have enough time to eat lunch. Sarita's is a fairly large restaurant with a bar. We sat in a booth, and the background Tejano music was loud. I looked up and we were sitting beneath the speaker, but it looked like every couple of booths there were ceiling speakers all over the restaurant. I know they're trying to create an atmosphere, but I really just wanna eat lunch and I don't need background music. I ordered chicken Caldo and my husband ordered an enchilada plate. I like that we got chips and there was no extra charge as the other restaurant that we normally go to charges for chips if it's not dinner time. The waitress was very attentive and came to our table quickly. She took our order and the food didn't take long to come out. the chicken Caldo had generous pieces of chicken, a fairly large wing and a breast along with a couple of large pieces of carrots, celery half a red potato , and a lot of bell pepper. I noticed I didn't receive any rice and the waitress and she told me that rice did not come with the Caldo, but I could order some on the side which I decided not to do. Overall, it was really good although it probably had a total of two green peppers in it so that was a bit much and sort of an unusual veggie to put in the Caldo, but it was still good. My husband enjoyed his enchilada plate. He asked for Barracho beans and got refried beans, but he figured he wouldn't ask the waitress to change them. I used the restroom and the music was really really loud in there. There were a lot of rust marks on the floor and the walls because it looked like the bathroom doors and hardware had been moved. So it gave the appearance of looking sort of dirty . Overall good food,but wish that background music would be turned down.

    Cheese enchiladas lunch special

    First time trying Sarita's. We came at lunch time and it wasn't super busy. Ordering was fast and service quick. We got complimentary chips and salsa. Salsa was really good. When lunch rolled around, I found that my silverware was dirty. Food was ok, the gravy on the enchiladas was too thick. Beans and rice average. The food was not bad but also not great.

    On my adventure to San Antonio I was told that this place was a good choice for Mexican food. The restaurant in question is "Sarita's", you notice as approaching to the restaurant a good amount of parking and entering you see seating for small groups and even for larger groups. It has a bar area to a good atmosphere to watch and enjoy a game but it does have a bit of everything you would need to have an enjoyable experience. As you sit down they take your drink order and on that note the staff are helpful and very cordial which makes the dining experience more enjoyable. Now the most important part of any restaurant, the food, and this place doesn't disappoint. They start you off with chips and salsa which were great way to open your appetite. Now the meal I chose came with enchilada, a taco and a chalupa, it's the Sarita's Combination Plate. The meal was good and it was plenty of food that left me feeling full but a good kind of full. This place is a wonderful option for Mexican food.

    Cheese enchiladas

    I went during breakfast, but I ended up getting the cheese enchiladas plate. I loved that the refried beans had flavor and I didn't have to add salt like I usually do. Everything was delicious and flavorful. My son got the omelet breakfast special with bacon. He was very pleased The waitress was....ok. There weren't may people in the restaurant but I feel her service was slow. She was very courteous which was nice. It was a decent size restaurant and seemed cozy. I gave it 3 stars because I felt the service was lacking

    I came to Sarita's in the past with a friend a few months back, and at that point, I would have given the restaurant a 4. This time, it's a solid 2. It turns out that my family were not fans of the food. It did the job - sort of, yet we don't plan to return. The chips and salsa were okay. The chips were a bit thicker than most, and the salsa was watery. My chili relleno was okay, yet it was overcooked on one end and okay on the other. The biggest problem was that there were so many seeds. It was like the pepper was never cored before it was cooked. It was so hard to chew my food at that point because the seeds were everywhere. The beans were decent, and the rice was okay. My husband hated the chicken fajitas. He said it tasted and felt like they were cooked the day before and then recooked the next day. My child, who usually eats all of their food at Tex-Mex restaurants, left most of his meal. If they weren't happy with the dinner, we won't dare come for breakfast.

    Huevos rancheros

    My husband and I were looking for a quick bite to eat before we started our day. When you walk in you are greeted by a hostess. We were quickly seated. There wasn't too many people when we arrived. Our waitress was extremely attentive to us. Staff here in general were friendly. We both ordered huevos rancheros. The food was bland. Not much flavor. The potatoes also looked more like miniature French fries. Not the typical potatoes I normally see. There was no salt or pepper which I understand due to some diet restrictions. I had to season everything with what was available in the table. The eggs were cooked perfectly. The beans were also a good consistency. Other than the seasoning it was okay. Nothing to be excited about. I wouldn't personally go out of my way to come back for the food. The staff did make my experience pleasant so that was a plus. As always I say judge for yourself and give it a try.

    Stopped tor a quick bite to eat. I used to LOVE coming to #saritas when I lived in San Antonio. Well sad to say, I may never visit again. We order at the same time and this is a picture of our beans!!! What th'F does it look like they scraped mine from the bottom of the pan and gave him fresh beans. Mine looked re-refried and refried again.... I see too many times waitresses tend to cater to the man not knowing if the woman is going to pay. I told him to let me pay because i woykd have definitely not left a good tip due to yoru kitchen this is something the waitress abould have noticed and paid attenrion too Kind or, well not kind of, it did majorly disappointed me. I dropped their Google review from a 5 to a 1

    Amazing food, service and ambience! I celebrated my 30th birthday with friends and some Family and we all had an amazing time. Just the perfect space for 20 people. Felt very secluded and like we had the restaurant to ourselves. Highly recommend Saritas for your gatherings. Had my Section from 7-10pm. Just enough time to mingle, drink and eat some cake I will include my dinner plate and the food menu for the night. Location: Fredericksburg Rd

    My first time here was excellent. I started with the sampler and realized their chicken wings are really good. The Paloma drink was amazing, one of the best I've ever had. We came back the following week and had the chicken wings and the chimichanga dinner. The chicken wings were on point. The chimichanga was really good however mine had a lot of beans on the side that I ate. I would've preferred to have it been all meat & cheese. their rice does not have a lot of flavor, and the beans are seasoned lightly, but they are still good. We definitely will be back for happy hour.

It was a great experience going with my Family. They provide a permanent marker in order to write your name on the wall. That makes for a great memory for everyone especially kids. The variety of food is so amazing! They have fried fish, fried calamari, fried flounder, jumbo shrimp, fried catfish, combo plates with different options to make a custom meal. Crawfish, clams, and mussels and sooo much more. You will really love the variety and all the great flavors. I think it's a nice place to catch the Spurs games because they have TV screens everywhere and also a full bar in the middle of the restaurant. Take your friends, take your Family, take your Beloved! You will be pleasantly surprised! P.S. it can be a bit messy but it doesn't matter because they give you plastic sheer hand gloves, wet towelettes, and a plastic type bib if you need it.

I called ahead of time asking if they had availability for 6 guests at around 6 PM and they said that it shouldn't be a problem, but they can't guarantee that we'd be seated right away... sold! We arrived and while the set up the table, Charlene welcomed us to hang out at the bar. We were then greeted by Ben, who we came to find out was one of the owners of the restaurant. He spoke with us briefly as our table was being set up, welcoming us in. Within 3 minutes of coming in, they set up a table for us in the corner of the restaurant and had us seated. The place is small (not tiny) and even on a Wednesday at 6 PM, it was clearly a popular spot... we would continue to find out why that was the case. Forgive me, as I cannot remember our waitresses' name, but she was great. She handed us our menus and let us be as we needed a moment to make our decisions. The front of the menu tells the humble story of how the restaurant came to be - definitely worth a read while you are waiting. Our waitress came back and took our drink and food orders. At the same time, I asked if she could have Ben come over as we wanted to hear more about his story after reading the brief story on the front of the menu. He came over and talked to us for ~5 minutes telling us about how he ended up in the States after leaving his home and how the restaurant came to be - from that alone, my experience had already been elevated and I was even more excited for the remainder of the experience to come. The drinks arrived, followed by the food, which we ordered (mostly) solely on Ben's recommendations. Everything looked delicious and as we were told by Ben, it was all fresh, purchased that day from the market and cooked to order. We started with the fried mozzarella, which was unique to me, in that it had no marinara but instead, spicy honey and sesame seeds and was fried in beef tallow - it was great. I ordered the Chicken Parm, which had fresh mozzarella poured into it at the table - the mozzarella smelled (and tasted) AMAZING. The dish has select bites throughout it that had some spice to it - I'd say that the spice level was about a 3/10, coming from someone who doesn't have the highest spice tolerance. The flavor/satisfaction level? 10/10. Typically, I'm not a dessert guy, but because of how good the experience was up to this point, I had to indulge. I ordered the crème brûlée and was not disappointed. Good temperature, good, mild flavor and presentation. This experience was excellent. From the unsuspecting setting, the greeting, the noise level in the restaurant, the attentiveness of the servers, the presentation and flavor of the food, to the staff asking how everything was and holding the door for us as we left, this is an exemplary example of how hospitality/service should be done. Ben, hopefully you are extremely proud of the team you have put together and the establishment you have made over the past two years. Very well done and thank you for your hospitality. If we are ever in town again, this will DEFINITELY be a stop that we make. Cheers.
