Sam Diegos Reviews

My Burrito plate was good, but my wife's Questito's was not. It was soggy

So much for so little. Generous portion at a low price from the lunch menu. Food quality was good and tasty. Good service. Will be back.

We are on the Cape in the summer and winter, and find this place to be a unique, vibrant, and exciting spot to eat when you've had your fill of regular seafood. My wife is a vegetarian and really enjoys the varied meatless menu options. Dinner is routinely served year round until Midnight - a great advantage for this place and the night owls who frequent it. See you this summer.

Lively very nice bartender very efficient and made you welcome food I would say mediocre but will go Bank

This Mexican place has been a favourite since forever. Great food, friendly staff and reasonable prices. They're fried ice cream is to die for.

This crazy busy place will have a good seat waiting for you to enjoy a hot crazy meal!

The food is good. I eat here at least once probably ever trip I take to the cape.

No flavor at all on the steak and the food looks to dry and burn

Sam Diegos is good for groups and parties-- call ahead and make a reservation! Not my favorite restaurant on Cape, but acceptable. We only really go there with big groups because they are good at accommodating parties. I usually get the Veggie Burger Burrito, which is tasty.

I am a native Cape Codder. I have been to this restaurant at varying times of the week and varying times of the year. Every single time their food and service continues to disappointment me. Tonight I think I'm finally done 'giving it another chance'. As a table of two we were told the wait would be five minutes. It ended up being 25. Normally I would be okay with this aside from the fact that multiple other "table for twos" who came in AFTER us were seated BEFORE us. We also received the complimentary chip and salsa appetizer after multiple tables who were seated AFTER us. Top this off with an impatient waitress and the wrong items brought to us two times. After the second time we decided to just eat what we were served and keep our mouths shut to avoid server imcompetence. The taste of the food is not even worth all the above frustration. I wish I could say it was a busy night or just a bad night for the server but the fact is that Sam Diegos always operates this way.

Found some plastic in my food, almost threw up, they still tried to get me to pay, not recommended

Pretty good Mexican Food outdoor seating in summer months great food easy to locate of across from Cape cod mall.

This is my go-to place, go there at least twice a month. Always good Tex Mex food that's always consistent

I have always loved Sam's. Classic Cape Cod restaurant. Nice mix of American classics and Mexican food but all the food is executed very well! Staff is always friendly and has remained consistent throughout the years. Mabey not the most authentic Mexican food but the food and atmosphere are still one of a kind! Great place for food and drinks with family and friends.

Excellent food great atmosphere the manager is the best

It was very cold where we were sitting! Another couple got up and went to another table because it was too cold. The food was okay. Quesadilla had a wheat tortilla which wasn't as good. The mango salsa was good with my burrito though! And the free chips and salsa were good too.

We found this place one dark, stormy March evening when we discovered, on a trip, that our previously favorite Mexican restaurant was closed for renovation. My wife was really disappointed and as we rode around looking for a Mexican restaurant, I remember telling her that we would find a good restaurant and everything would be okay. Just after I said that for the third or fourth time, I saw the sign! Sam Diegos, never heard of it. We pulled in and immediately liked the place. We were seated and ordered drinks and appetizers. My wife went to the rest room and before she was gone for more than a few minutes, the drinks came. By the time she returned, five minutes after that, the food was also on the table. You should have seen the smile on her face. We enjoyed the drinks, food and service as well as the atmosphere around the place. That was many years ago and we not only found a good restaurant that dark, dreary night but our new favorite Mexican watering hole. Every year, when we are at the Cape, we enjoy Sam Diegos. I just looked the place up and glad it's still there again this year. My birthday is in two weeks and we are heading down from NH for St Patrick's day week end and a few extra days and we can hardly wait to get to Sam Diegos, we love it that much. I'll be Irish on the weekend and knee deep in the shenanigans and celebration but come Monday and Tuesday, my Mexican side will be itching for sure. Hmmm... Might not be able to hold out that long.. Sam Diegos, here we come. Yippeee!

Update: Sam Diego's is still Sam Diego's but we have found a new favorite Mexican place just down the street. Read my other reviews of the area for the name of our new favorite restaurant which is in a whole 'nother class.

We ate here Thursday...nicely decorated....excellent food...my husband had the taco bar all you can eat...my daughter had a chicken enchilada and I had the chicken enchilada and taco combo ...we got a side of guacamole and those tortilla chips yummy we wish we had room left for the fried ice cream....next time ....our waitress was extremely attentive......the food was excellent...only problem is we are from NH wish there was one out this way...we will be back....yum yum yum

Green chilli, endless chips an salsa, you

can't beat it

Great Food and Service! Our go to Mexican when we are in that part of the Cape

Fun dining experience with experienced service and healthy portions!

great tacos, good prices, friendly staff and all in all a great all rounder for a family night out. One downside: bring a coat! its cold in here...

Absolutely LOVE this place. Food is always delicious. Large portions. Fair pricing. Great atmosphere. Service is very professional. Whether you sit in the bar, or grab a table, you'll feel welcomed.

Great place good food went when it was busy but didn't have to wait.

Not sure exactly what I was expecting. I was fooled by the Google review, over 1000 reviews and 4.2 stars. Figured can't be that bad, right?so we gave it a shot. Service is great. We had Nicki and she was super nice and helpful, so we give one star for her. The food, however. The food was just bad. So bad. I tried so hard to eat it but it wasn't happening. I had the chicken fajitas. It looked good as it was coming out. The rice was like rinsed down uncooked Goya rice from the box. The salsa that came with it was sour. The tortillas were cold and uncooked. Then the chicken... Just plain bad. Dry, no seasoning, it just tasted like a burnt grill. I have never in my life complained or even returned food from a restaurant until today. I recommend going somewhere else. I think anything is better than the tasteless food in this place. Taco Bell would of gotten 5 stars over this place.

Our daughters favorite Mexican Restaurant on the Cape. I always eat too many of their fresh made chips and salsa and have to take home half of their generous dinner portions.

Always great, family friendly, hot fresh food and plenty of it.

Good Mexican restaurant/food been going for years. Good for kids as well.

Food was pretty good. A bit expensive, but par for the course for the Cape. Drinks were delicious.

Better of the Mexican places in the cape. Fun atmosphere.

It isn't true Mexican food but it tastes good on a consistent basis and the fried ice cream is out of this world.

Event hough the prices have gone up, it is still a place to get a reasonable priced diner.
Avoid the salty nachos, a trick to get you drinking !! Eventthough the margaritas are good.
Food was cold ( steak, other person had the fajitas ). Nice desserts .

Delicious Mexican food. Great atmosphere. Friendly service.

The food was bad was not good tacos were bad BBQ ribs bad

Atmosphere is very nice. We had great service for a party of 17. I really enjoyed the Pablo Verde Enchiladas. Rice was moist, not dry.

I got a taco salad. It was gross. Wouldn't go there again. Boyfriend got chicken and steak fajitas didn't like it either.

Outdoor patio is roomy, well staffed and comfortable. Mexican fare with an American flare.

Pretty decent Tex Mex. Drinks are fantastic. Massive selection of tequila and cocktails. Service was good to.

Adequate food, though I'm not sure the taco lunch buffet is a fair way to judge. The extra order of guacamole was very good, chunky so you know it wasn't a frozen premise product, and flavorful. Have heard the drinks are excellent but we just had iced tea. Will go back for dinner sometime.

Always fresh and creative Tex - Mex. Great Bar, with a variety of margaritas and daiquiris. Colorful indoor dining, great for events and parties. Outdoor patio offers plenty of fair weather seating.

Perfect lunch after Christmas shopping. Michele, our waitress could not have been better! Food as always was awesome .

Their friend ice cream is amazing!! Always good service thanks

Horrible Drinks! so disappointed went to dinner at 5:30 on Saturday night had not been here in years. The drinks were horrible the food was so-so bathrooms were filthy!!! It was incredibly busy but mostly families with young children screaming definitely won't be going back.

Great place, one of my favorite place to go. Food was awesome, staff was friendly and my husband loves it. Highly recommend

Excellent chimichanga's nice atmosphere with great margaritas.
Still excellent Mexican for Cape Cod. Great Business

Went for the lunch buffet, it was not what I expected but at least it was edible and decent

If you like Mexican food then this is great, reasonably priced, however it is always crowded and always loud, maybe best suited for younger people.

Stopped on our way home. It s in a parking lot and they did an awesome job at making its own personal oasis. Tex-Mex style food. We got the Hard Arnold Palmer and Watermelon large marg (huge). For food we got the Mango Pepper? Burrito and the combo plate-yum!

Enjoyed pulled pork tacos with proper covid guidelines followed. Very good!

Been going here a long time. Food is always good but wish they would take more care in who they hire. Not high maintenance here but our waitress was not just cold, which I can deal with, but irritated at even having to be there. My wife waited tables for 18 years so we arent some high society tourists. But this woman was bad. Brutal when all I wanted to do was have a good Sunday lunch with my wife and kid.
If you end up with a good waiter or waitress, then I highly recommend.

Pretty good, always look forward to chips amd salsa. Good service

Foods good. No wait to sit. Fitz was a great and attentive server. Prices arent bad either.

The Texas Iced Tea is yummy!! I had the BBQ Pulled Pork. It is served over corn bread and came with sweet potato fries and cole slaw. Everything was fantastic! My husband loved his meal, too!

Great to come home from traveling and find good service and Gluten free options!

Worst service ever in any mexican place till date.

Got chips with salsa , didnt like salsa because it was bitter told the server Mia asked for ranch which was delivered adding 1.49$.( not a bit of apology )
Anyway thats fine, ordered the Mucho which was pathetic.
First time ever chicken tenders were made bad by any restaurant.
Asked for check and said didnt like any food left eveything on plate server didnt even ask why food was bad or can she replace the food.

Super dupper rude server/waitress.
Had to leave a place without tipping a penny.

Wrote a note on the check giving all the review.
Never to return.

Learn to respect customers treat how u want to be treated.

Had a great lunch unbelievable conversation with people at the bar an amazing bartender in Michelle see you again soon

amazing mexican restaurant with good service. MY FAVORITE!!!

Hot ice cream delight. It's worth visiting. Affordable price.

Food was bad, smelled bad. When I said something I was immediately given the check while the rest of my party were still eating.

Waiter was cool. Drinks and food was good. The Bahama Mama is always a good choice...unless you're driving ;)

The food at this restaurant was inedible. I've never tasted food as terrible as this. Our service was horrible also. If your looking for good Mexican/ Tex Mex food this isn't it. Never again! Yuck

Not gourmet but we enjoyed ourselves. Good place for a drink and mexi food. Very kid friendly.
