I've been coming to this Las Margarita's since 1993. Always good flavorful, but not too spicy and not authentic Mexican Food. The staff was always nice and the food was flavorful until now. I have ordered their food a couple of times during the pandemic and it was good until the food until yesterday. The food was very bland, nothing flavorful or vaguely Mexican about it. The salsa tasted just like tomato sauce and the rest of it was bland as well. But worse that that was the response I got when I called today to complain to the manager. The conversation started off friendly enough but when I asked them to go taste the salsa (for the third time) I was told that I'm not in charge there. There was no offer of compensation of any kind, in fact the conversation erupted into total rudeness. I may not be in charge there but I am in charge of where I order food.

I come here all of the time with my friends. First time I came her was almost 20 years ago and I keep coming back. The service is always quick and friendly and the food delicious. Normally I get fajitas, but have tried other things as well. Always clean inside and they are really good about temperature checks with COOVID and social distancing. I will continue coming here 1-2 times per month!

This restaurants was a major surprise to us. Absolutely fantastic food at a reasonable price. The amount of food on the plates was unbelievable. We try a lot of restaurants and this one provided some of the fastest, friendliest service we have ever received. Food was exceptionally well prepared and served, and the portions were some of the largest we have ever gotten. Atmosphere was laid back and the interior of the restaurant was colorful to say the least. After enjoying the meal, we talked to some of the staff and they were very pleasant and friendly. All of us had different combination plates and all enjoyed the food. Can't go wrong at this place.

The first thing that struck me about this place was the chairs in the main dining area. They are all individually painted with colorful scenes, animals, people, etc both front and back. They really brighten up the place. The other furnishings are also interesting with carved decorations. I ordered the deluxe chicken burrito, which came topped with guacamole, tomato, cheese, lettuce and onions. It was really tasty and was packed with a lot of chicken. It was a really filling meal. The staff was friendly and attentive. Overall, a really great meal and experience.

Forget the food. Have a coronaita. Served in a jug. No really the food was great also. Servings are really big so share a meal. They did not rush us. Food taken home in containers, no problem. Friendly staff, really enjoyed the night.

We had driven past Las Margaritas several times and finally stopped in after having a craving for good Mexican food. The Neon crab on the window is what really pulled us in as my wife has a specific liking for Seafood enchiladas. Upon entering we were a bit surprised by the festive atmosphere. There were several large parties present and it was evident that everyone was having a great time. Our server was exceptional as he remembered all of our names and he even humored me as I tried to recall all my previous years of practicing the Spanish dialect. He was one of the reasons that our visit was truly memorable. Of course the chips and salsa kept coming and the side of guacamole that we ordered was exceptional. For a main course I ordered the Pollo en Mole which was quite good. All others in our party quite enjoyed our meals and were very much appreciative of the attentive and responsive service. The cost of the meal was not overly expensive our entire experience results in a full on recommendation to stop by if in the mood for good Mexican food. We will of course be back. See you on the trail and please try to remember to treat with dignity and respect, all whom with you come in contact. John F

Great family Mexican restaurant. All meals are exellent, wait staff diligent and attentive to guest needs. Dining area is clean and accomodating.

Ambience nice, food good, prices decent, restaurant wasn't that busy but service wise was fair but improvement needed. I just had water but ran out with my waitress disappearing after sitting me. Had to ask another waitress to find her me asking for water. That part unacceptable but I still left an appropriate tip anyway. Other than that 3 stars for good Mexican restaurant. Will go back.

We were seated promptly, served with the customary chips (hot and fresh) and salsa dip (tepid). The Guacamole was one of the poorest I have tasted, not much flavor and spiced for the timid of palates. There were some interesting dishes on the menu, we tried two. Neither the Nachos Idaho - fried potato skins filled with cheddar cheese, tomatoes, onions, guacamole sour cream and Chorizo, nor the Crab Enchilada in a creamy sauce and rolled corn tortilla, topped with jack cheese and salsa verde. Served with rice and black beans sang. But the portions were large and price very fair. The high point was the service staff, our waitress was excellent, attentive and not overbearing. We were allowed time for a short family business meeting before ordering. The dining room supervisor check on our happiness and the busboys kept our table dirty dish free. Not great Mexican food, but no surprises either.
