    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

    Monica G.

    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.

    Party of 2 on Monday 1730…read more OVERALL Great service, great food, great ambiance. SERVICE Seated right away. Mario was our kind and happy server. He provided great recommendations. He checked us often and refilled our waters often. CHIPS AND SALSA Complimentary. Tortilla chips are freshly made, oil it was cooked in tasted well, and the salsa was flavorful with roasted ingredients. FLOUR TORTILLA Very fresh, the right amount of salt and moisture, hot, toasted perfectly, just the right thickness, and teared apart very well. CHALUPA COMBO The chalupa was made with a typical crispy tortilla. Placed next to the enchilada so it made it a bit difficult to grab since one half of the chalupa got soggy. EL RANCHO SPECIAL Recommended by Mario. Selected beef tips. The beef was very tender and flavorful, the sauce was flavorful with spice and savory, the rice/beans were well seasoned and flavorful. The guacamole/lettice/cheese was placed into a taco shell. The guacamole was very fresh and had a great texture with varying chunks of avocado. ENCHILADA POBLANO The shredded chicken was juicy and well seasoned. The poblano mole sauce was mildly creamy, tasted of delicious poblanos, seasoned well, and added a refreshing contrast to the savory chicken filling. The pickled onions were a refreshing addition and had a great snap to them. AMBIANCE Feels like we were in a home. The place is decorated vibrantly. The decorations were also very bright and clean.

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.
