Sammy's Mexican Restaurant No 2

This is a good family owned Mexican restaurant. Very consistent and always good. Cheese enchiladas are great for children, not too spicy. If you want something special try the Sammy's Special. One enchilada, rice and beans and a chili relleno to top it off. The Relleno can be very spicy so beware if you're a light weight. Service is always prompt and friendly. A great community restaurant.

The food is great, but the service leaves a lot to be desired!
We live in La Vernia and have recently utilized (what we thought) was Sammy's convenient drive thru. We had eaten inside before and the service was wonderful, but they definitely need to replace thier current drive thru attendant. Our first experience with the driv thru we had ordered a bean burrito with rice and various other dishes (a family of four). When I arrived for pick up, the attendant asked if I wanted the burrito "how it came" - I replied, " I am not sure, how does it come?" Her answer was, "I have no idea, I don't eat them." Really? I am thinking that is part of your job! I was speechless and just to get out of there before I said what I really wanted to!

So a couple of weeks later I tried the drive thru again hoping for a different person this time, but with no luck! This time she didn't even bother to speak to us, but simply opened the window while on her cell phone, threw her hand out for my money and shut the window (still on the phone). Came back to the window with the food, still on the phone, and shoved it at us. No words were exchanged between us, except when I pulled up and as a reply to her stare, gave her my call in order name!

I suggest this restaurant replace this worker with someone who fits the rest of the Sammy's staff that the "regular" patrons of this place have come to expect!

The good, the bad and the ugly. Service was excellent. Attentive and friendly. The chips were hard and the salsa had nothing to recommend it. The main course, had the #5 and 36 specials, were Ok. The bad....stopped in for a late lunch at 4 PM. Apparently they are a after school hangout for teenagers. That coupled with the tile floors and partially tiled walls made the place very, very noisy. Avoid them at this time if you can.  Overall better Mexian resturants are around.
