Out of all the restaurants we have tried in Silver Spring, we like this one the best! Warm salsa that is made fresh daily, excellent dishes that excite the taste buds, and great drinks will keep you coming back for more. Definitely enjoyed our meal!

Located on East University Boulevard, Samantha's Restaurant presents fine Mexican and Latin American cuisine. Samantha's offers a vast menu from a 14-ounce T-bone steak with white wine sauce to mariscos saltado, a shrimp and scallop dish in a Peruvian-style sauce. Customers will also find Mexican favorites such as tacos and fajitas, as well as desserts and a selection of cocktails and wine....
