Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

Great food! I go here once or sometimes twice a week and usually order tilapia (a whole fish) with rice, or a fajita plate and it's delicious! I told a lot of my friends about it and they really liked it! So glad! The service is always great! I would definitely recommend this place!!

Everything on the plate is stupid good, expertly prepared, fresh and well presented. Tender, juicy beef, tangy crisp cilantro, fresh tasting beans and rice. I'll definitely come here again

Ever since the spawners moved way up North to the middle of grass seed farming country, I have been dinning regularly to San Antonio. When I was coming here from the South, the experience was always forgettable. But now since I come here from a Northern home (and thus, my Mexican food experiences have been severely sequestered), I find San Antonio to be a good solid choice. Sure there is the mandatory 50% of the plate filled up with a mound of bland refried & rice. But the main courses though are pretty good. When its available, the Chili Colorado is nice. The Chili Verde is OK. Mole is a strong point. Their creamed shellfish varietals are good. Their chips are excellent. They have a hot verde salsa on special request that is a must have. I would of given them 3.5 stars but rounded up due to the direction I was traveling from on this visit.

The décor might be a bit outdated, cheap, or cheesy..... But the food is really fantastic. They don't "dumb down" the flavors to appease dull palates, yet the amount of heat is acceptable to anyone's taste. My personal favorites on the menu are the flautas (Thank GOD a restaurant in this area ACTUALLY UNDERSTANDS the difference between a flauta, and a taquito!!!!) Beyond that, the Carne Asada and Chile Colorado are wonderful as well. Tonight, I happened to order my all time favorite Mexican dish - Chicken Mole. I have to say, it held up to any I've ever had, and did not disappoint. The service is polite, quick, and gracious. All in all, I can't think of any reason not to come back over and over!

Love the Mexican food! It is authentic. The fajitas for two are plenty of food or more than enough for two people! I love their chile relleno! They give you free chips & salsa and a free cute little desert! Very friendly service and good quality of food at a good price!

We're from Salem, and we regularly meet friends from Monmouth at San Antonio's. The food never disappoints, and the wait-staff is top-notch. The owner, Moises, is charming and, if you regularly order the same dish, he'll remember and make certain it's as good as it was the last time, or even better. And, when we take picky grandchildren with us, their "special order" is filled exactly as specified---even when it's very strange. There is no specific dish we can recommend, because everything we've ever ordered was excellent, but the rellenos are my "benchmark" for Mexican restaurants and these are goo-o-o-d!

Yummy food and excellent service. The food is good and served quickly. The servers come by often to ensure water cups and other drinks are full. Love the little but if ice cream that comes at the end of every meal.
(4)Adam L.
CHEAP! But you get what you pay for lol In other words, not the greatest food. But again, it's cheap.

Solid truck. We had mostly lengua. Good, perfectly cooked and tender. Really nice owners. Would definitely drop in the next trip through Independence.
(4)Joseph B.
Good service. Better food than most Mexican places. We had a veggie salad and the pollo asado ensalada was very good. Plus they bring some sherbet at the end for for lunch

My wife and I go here a couple of times a month. Unlike like the previous reviewer, I've had the Pepian sauce on multiple occasions and it has been great. I am half mexican... mom's side of family is mexican so if this place wasn't good I wouldn't come back. I would definitely recommend the carne asada, flautas, fish tacos, and puerco in pepian. Also, the deep fried ice cream and banana daquaries are good if you want something sweet. The service is also always great. Always on top of refills and the restaurant is always incredibly clean.

Me 'n' Mexico? We're like this (picture twisted index and middle fingers). We be tight. So it can go without saying that food from this country is one of my favorites, and I'm always eager to try new restaurants that serve the area's fare. While San Antonio is a nice alternative from many of the other Mexican restaurants that the Monmouth-Independence area has to offer, I have to say that the food is just okay. The flautas and taquitos are awesome. But if you want something not fried.... You see, I'm a HUGE fan of mole. I get it at almost any Mexican restaurant that gives the option. I almost got it yesterday at San Antonio. But then I saw something that caught my eye. Enchiliadas con Pepian. WHAT?! Well, I mean, I'd only seen it spelled "pipian," but it's this delicious sauce made from chilis and pumpkin seeds. And it's really hard to make (and I've NEVER seen it on a US menu). Someone made it for me when I was in Mexico, and upon returning, I tried to duplicate the recipe, but it turned out horribly. So, very excitedly, I ordered the pipian. It came out. It was a green sauce. Bummer! I almost always prefer reds when it comes to Mexican sauces. I think it tasted fine, but for some reason, my enchilada tasted like there was a chicken broth in it. I don't think it was the chicken filling, but it could have been used as the pipian base. The beans are awesome, as is the complementary salsa. The regular margarita was a let-down, though; it seemed to be lime juice and ice. I could BARELY taste the tequila. Sadness. But definitely the place to go for deep-fried Mexican fare.

We are regulars, eat here at least once a month for the past couple of years. Have never had a bad experience or a less than delicious meal. Staff is attentive and friendly, owner is top notch. Highly recommended as best mexican restaurant in Independence/Monmouth.
