The waiter was very slow and not careful, accidentally poured iced water on my guest,his pants was wet,and this guy didn’t apologize,he acted like normal.

I ordered Chicken tacos. We received microwaved tortillas with school seasoned chicken. I thought it was an authentic Mexican restaurant and I was hoping for a taste from home. But it feels like the food was colonized and assimilated.

Now I have been eating here for a while I pick up food here sometimes and I have never ever had any issues but today I ordered first thing in the morning on door dash two trays of fish tacos a chicken fajita meal and apple in a basket (dessert) which came up to $80 and I found a baby roach at the bottom of my desert which was covered in apples (by the way) and made me sick to my stomach knowing the fact that this came from the kitchen means it is unsanitary and more then likely more roaches running around. So disappointed! Do better

I chaperoned a group of students from a nearby school to San Antonio Grill yesterday. The staff at the restaurant were very accommodating to our students needs. The restaurant accommodated a student in a wheelchair. There were no stairs to enter and the restaurant was spacious enough for him to maneuver to a seat/space alongside his peers. The service was accurate and fast for our large group. Our server, Samuel, was extremely patient and kind. The students enjoyed chips, salsa, chicken tenders, quesadillas, burritos, burgers, fruit and fries. The staff enjoyed a variety of entrees and desserts as well. The students loved the food and had a wonderful experience overall. I would highly recommend San Antonio Grill to others and we definitely plan to return next school year!

Definitely in love with the Happy Hour. Large Margaritas with multiple flavors. The food all around is good… hefty wings, tasty burgers, crunchy fresh chips, great FRIES, ETC. They have seating for large parties and outdoors. Perfect for a date night or just casual lunch with friends.

This location on 12th St NE is in the middle of the block next to a small parking lot. It is a few blocks away from Catholic University and the National Shrine. Parking is the main challenge unless you are lucky enough to find street parking.

I absolutely love this place. I started out with the Gambas & Chile Con Queso. I forgot to take a picture because I was too busy socializing and sipping on my Jumbo Mango Margarita. I must say this place is very inexpensive and the atmosphere is always great. My favorite location is in Crystal City because the chips are always fresh. However, the Lobster Fajita seen in the picture was Awesome and it comes out on a sizzling hot skillet. I loved this and I ordered a side of grilled veggies on the side squash, zucchini bell peppers and carrots. Highly recommend 10/10. The bartenders are great at all 3 locations.

Sometimes it’s a hit or miss over the past years but one person I can say is Nelle. He is short, fast, hardworking and caring to all guest. He made sure I was okay even without being the main person to serve me. Nothing but smiles and movement. Thank you!
