Santa Maria Mexican Restaurant

My boy took me to this place and I got the # 2 special fajita ranchera special it was good the meat was prepped very nicely and the rice and beans were average nothing really special but I'm a bean snob lol but the flour tortilla's where good though .I will say this the service could have been better we where in need and a lot of the time the service was no where to found and given the state of things the Restraunt was pretty empty and it wasn't they were trying to distance them selfs it was that there was something far more important at a different table.But I digress I will more then likely be back to try there menudo my buddy says it's the best which is what he had that day, and in my return hopefully things will be better and I'll update my review then.

BEWARE! Went through the drive-thru and ordered 2 tacos. Which came out to $4.01 at first didnt think anything of it but then realized that was a bit much for 2 tacos. So I called and asked them to verify the price which was correct on each taco but when asked why I was charged $4.00 she told me they have a service fee of .20 each item you order when going through the drive-thru which to mean isn't fair because it is not displayed anywhere on the menu that they do that. I know it's not much but it's the principle of the matter. Needless to say I will not go back.

Very large servings of food with decent prices, my host family (Mexican) loves it :)

I really love this Mexican place! It is very good! I love the chicken fajita tacos! The only flaw about this place is the service most of them do not speak English you may need a certain knowledge of Spanish. My grandma also loves this place. I come here at least once a week.

WOW! Never been to a resturant that I had to add salt to everything, just to give it some flavor. $24 for 3 people and the food was TERRIBLE. We had the fajita, enchiladas, carne guisada plate . YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! lol

I travel a lot for my job, and the one thing that has never steered me wrong is seeing a little roadside joint with a parking lot packed full of cars. The service is great, super nice girls. My server steered me in the right direction with a fantastic meal. I got the obligatory chips and salsa rat tastes like grandma made it. And the best surprise, spicy queso for dipping! Homemade tortillas tied the whole thing together. Seriously, eat here.

I work out of Port San Antonio (formerly Kelly AFB) and literally every single day, one or more of my coworkers eat here. Needless to say, I eat here a lot.The portions are large, the prices are low, the service is good. The food is tasty, a bit greasy, and only occasionally questionable.

Huge portions. Not bad for price. I ordered the carne asada plate and it was very tasty, a bit on the salty side for my liking, but the salsa masked it.Great service, prompt and courteous. They never let my coffee cup get low and i must have my coffee. Would i recommend? Ehh sure why not?

I've eaten here 2 times the first time was pretty good considering I only got two potato and egg tacos the second time was terrible I ordered the puffy taco plate and the meet was slightly still red and I was kind of disappointed but thought they just might have made a mistake so I asked them to look at my plate and they said that's normal... So I took pictures of the meat and sent the pictures to a couple of my family and friends and asked them what they think. they said that hamburger meat should not be red at all! Anyways this restaurant kept telling me that it's normal and when I told them I want to return it they said no that you're going to have to pay for at least half of the plate I barely took a bite out of the taco... So I paid for the half of the plate as a manager took my plate she and my waitress laughed and gave me a smart look... I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone unless you are looking to get salmonella.

Ordered tacos for the family and took them 3 TRIES to get the order correct after showing them what tacos we got vs what we ordered. Unimpressed with the service. Don't recommend.If you want a good restaurant, good service and quality, recommend driving up less than a mile toward Quintana and go to Blanquita's.
