CHIPS! We can eat the chips here! It has been such a long time since I could eat the chips at a Mexican restaurant. The food was wonderful. I had a combo with a cheese enchilada and a potato taco. The service was knowledgeable and helpful. We live about an hour away from here and I WILL be making the drive back for a date night soon!

The food and the service here are wonderful. The food is so fresh and hot off the grill! I got the fajitas. The steak is so tender and juicy. It’s amazing! Nathan did a wonderful job bartending and serving our table. He is very courteous and friendly. Very impressed with how he remained attentive to all the customers. Madi approached us quickly and seated us with a smile. We have some dietary restrictions (celiac disease) and she clearly showed us what we could order on the menu. She obviously works out which might explain why she has so many potential suitors.

We absolutely love Margarita’s Cocina y Cantina—it’s one of our favorite spots, and after dining there several times, we knew it was the perfect place to host our rehearsal dinner and welcome party on April 11, 2025. From start to finish, the experience was nothing short of exceptional. Yesenia and her entire team are incredible—so warm, attentive, and accommodating. We had about 50 guests for the rehearsal dinner and around 80 total for the welcome party, and every single person raved about how lovely the staff was. The service was both expedient and attentive—even with a large group, orders were never missed, and everything flowed smoothly. The buffet was exceptional, and everyone had a fabulous time. One of the most important factors for us was that my wife has celiac disease, and the team has always taken her gluten-free needs seriously with care and confidence. Their ability to safely accommodate her dietary restrictions, as well as others in our group, gave us so much peace of mind and was one of the key reasons we chose them as our venue. The food was fantastic (as always!), the planning process was seamless and stress-free, and the service was absolutely impeccable. We’re so happy we went with Margarita’s for such a special occasion and can’t recommend them highly enough.
