This is a neighborhood restaurant for us. The food has always been good, and it's also a great value. The restaurant has a very nice atmosphere, with clean white tablecloths and candles, and the staff has always been very nice. This is our no-fail place to take visiting friends and relatives, or a fun, easy dinner for ourselves. more

Samantha's is in an uninspiring strip mall with a few adjacent parking spaces, but is a fairly classy place as soon as you're inside. Linen napkins, glass water goblets, and vintage European posters on the wall. The gratis salsa and chips are quite tasty. Our appetizers were yuca (a surprisingly interesting assortment of ribs, pork, sauce, and expertly-fried yuca) and... more

The restaurant does not look particularly exciting on the outside but it is actually very nice inside. It is clean, water is served in glass goblets, and there are cloth napkins. The food is excellent, and the fact that Latin Americans go there speaks for itself that it is quite authentic too. more

Yesterday, I dined with 7 friends at Samanthas. I arrived early with a friend and waited at the the tiniest bar ever while the rest of my party came. The host to the bartender who looked to be younger than my 4 yr old nephew had no personality and was not very welcoming. After we sat down the waitress was... more

When this happened i myself went to the table because they called me over. The incident was regrettable as i do not wish this upon any of my customers. I took the shot myself to him as a gesture of humility for what happened and gave a authentic apology. The reason they rejected the shot and my apology was because...

Samantha's provides excellent and authentic Central American and Mexican cuisine, consistently well prepared and tasty. The low prices make a meal here especially pleasant.. Service is very attentive and this place is highly tolerant of families with children. more

Consistently delicious - each time I leave saying "Damn! Those were the best fajitas I've ever had!". A little pricy, and parking can be tricky on a busy night - but the food is undeniable. more

If you are lucky enough to get a parking spot, you'll have a great meal. We started with a refreshing flounder ceviche and pupusas -- thick corn tortilla sandwiches stuffed with cheese and seafood. I had the yucca con chicharron, which is a pile of crispy fried yucca with pork ribs topped with a tomato salsa -- definitely comfort food.... more

Don't let the outside of this restaurant fool you. The entire dining experience more than makes up for the old store-front appearance. I ordered the Seafood Paella and enjoyed watching my server complete the final arrangements of the dish at my table. It was delicious. And in spite of the large serving, I managed to save enough room for a... more
