"My son, and I passed Margaritas Mexican Restaurant so many times, we wasn’t sure if the food was good or not; never again the food is absolutely delicious, and authentic. We place our order by phone, and they were very pleasant, they say it would be only 10 minutes, not bad at all. The atmosphere from outside looks great, I haven’t dined in yet."

"I have eaten here with family and friends five times now and will continue to come back! The food is outstanding! Always hot & delicious. I love the home made guacamole with slight hint of lime served in a small fried tortilla bowl …. yummy!! I have tried four different dishes and all were great! Hard to decide which I prefer. Also have left overs for work the next day. Service is always prompt and with smiles! Atmosphere is fun and roomy."

"We sat at the bar and ordered the trio combination. Beef taco, beef burrito and chicken enchilada. All three tasted good and were seasoned well. I also had three ultra tall drafts which were terrific. Their chilled mug is second only to twin peaks. They also have many more Mexican style beers on hand then listed on the menu. The manager Victor was cool. He let my friend and me try a Mexican hangover drink which consists of basically a spicy tomato mix with seltzer water I think. Overall it's a nice place that is only a few weeks in. I will visit this restaurant again. They have one of the most comfortable bars I've ever been to. Chairs with back rest and a perfect foot stool. I had 4 beers and dinner for 25 bucks."
