great service and delish margaritas

by HildiS

The service here is always friendly. I recommend the avocado tostada ask them to make it with romain lettuce with their salsa verde on the side for dressing. It's really good!

Great for a quiet dinner

by anekab

My husband and I have been visiting Margarita's for three years now. We probably don't go as often as he'd like, but we always enjoy our meals there. Recently, I tried the carne asada steak with shrimp and it was just delicious. Definitely better than Mijares in Pasadena which we love, as well. If you go early enough, it's a great place for a quiet romantic dinner. When the dinner crowd starts piling in, it can get pretty busy and loud, but that's fun too. The Works burrito is huge, and fills up even my husband who has a big appetite. Totally recommend Margarita's to everyone.

  • Pros: margaritas, carne asada
  • Cons: parking is tight
