they could really do better on the size of steaks a 16 oz steak 🥩 and a 18 oz steak or bigger or possibly a 22 oz porterhouse on the menu but other than that their restaurant is perfect
they charge too much right now for their small steaks 😔💔😭 and I need a hamburger steak menu

My husband and I travel a lot. We try to eat and shop at local places.
We went here for lunch today. It was excellent food and service! So if you are driving through, stop here to eat! But, beware! There are 3 sizes of margaritas. We got medium and they were Huge! No idea what large would look like!

My brother and sister in law both had the rib-eye, and it was better than most steaks I have eaten in”steak” restaurants. In my 63 years. I have only had two steaks that were better. One was at Ruth’s Chris steakhouse and the other was grilled by a country boy whose family raised cattle. I got the fajitas with chicken, steak, and shrimp, but if I had to do it over again. I would have stuck with the chicken. They were extremely good that night for my dinner and later on for a midnight snack for the three of us. I was eating on them the next night. My brother paid for our dinner , and I believe it was less expensive than what you would normally pay for steaks. They had margaritas and daiquiris with their meals, but I chickened out and had a Coke. We were all given to go boxes that were filled up when we left. The service was impeccable, and it was a pleasure to have dinner at San Antonio Grill with family. Can’t wait to return!

This was our first visit to this location. Since the Helena location was shutdown last year, we have been struggling to find a replacement. Decided to drive the 20 minutes to the original site and it was will worth it. We have revisited multiple times since our first visit and it continues to be worth the extra drive for the food and the value.

Food was great! Service was good too! I ordered a corona-rita. This place serves Corona Premier too. We ordered a side of cheese sauce and both ordered Fajita Nachos supreme with chicken, shrimp, and steak (no beans). The salsa wasnt very spicy. They also have Chalula hot sauce. There was plenty of food! The drinks were good as well. One drink was enough. There's something about their margaritas. The margaritas (frozen) but very frothy. We will definitely be back.

Update: 10/2023
Update! We're back! I had the same thing!

I had their chicken soup. It was delightful. They wouldn't give up the recipe. :) Although, I didn't really expect them to. It's a clean place and a friendly atmosphere. My companions had the fajita burrito and the chicken fajitas. They all loved their meals as well. Great place for a weeknight dinner stop or lazy weeknight take out. Will visit again.

I thought I was having a late lunch for one after a dental procedure down the street, but they provided chips, dip AND a companion. I was a regular when this place first opened and I lived in the neighborhood but unfortunately like many restaurants, it looks like they have gone down hill. The young cashier didn't seem too concerned about it. I guess all I have left for SAG are memories. (and the last one will not be a good one) :(

The food was awesome like always I've been going there ever since San Antonio's opened and that was probably about 17-18 years ago. Me & my friend went there to eat last night and she wanted to order a picture strawberry margaritas, welda Margaritas didn't taste like any alcohol was in them and I haven't drank tin for years so I would think that I would be able to taste some alcohol and the waiter he has been my waiter for many years and he just kept dodging us I know that he was busy but when we told him about the margaritas he wanted to play it off and told us to talk with the manager about it well I think he should have pointed it to her first about the issues so she would have been aware of it. I used to drink Margaritas there all the time & know that they taste really good.

The meat for the fajitas seemed to be steamed or even boiled.

The staff were incredibly nice, but didn't check on us much.

I ordered unsweet tea, and the server refilled my glass with sweet tea. And it was a while before we saw him again.

It is a nice restaurant, and maybe we caught them on a bad day.

My wife and I have enjoyed this restaurant for several years. The food is always excellent and and the wait staff are friendly. We mostly dine in, but even take out is always great. There's something on the menu for everyone, even kid's meals, and I've been told they have a very good steak, although we have never tried that. I've been to quite a few Mexican restaurants, and this is by far my favorite.
