Las Margartias

Great service, decent food. Chips/Salsa super fresh and right out of the fryer, chips are thin and crispy, and salsa is served in a small pitcher and dish to pour into. Great flavor on salsa, not spicy, but adequate when you're hungry. Feels like you're in an authentic Mexican restaurant. Having the Chicken Enchiladas with their Special White Sauce was a good choice. White sauce has a unique, and slightly sweet taste. Tortillas were a bit tough, as with the chicken inside the enchiladas. Rice and beans were served on the side, beans should have been processed (blended) a bit less, so as to resemble beans yet. For those of you travelling, the Iced Tea served here is SWEET. Ask for NO SWEET if you don't want a blast of sweetness with every sip. Ratings here seem to be drawn down a bit by a few individuals that had a negative experience with something in their meal/drink. It appears someone was so disgruntled that she created a 2nd Google account just to rate this establishment. Since the primary language spoken here is Spanish, perhaps the staff misinterpreted her reason for complaining, and may have found it amusing. 4.0 is an adequate rating due to the toughness of the main entre, yet still wanting to re-visit to try their libations in an evening setting.

This restaurant had some great fajitas and other dishes. The service was excellent the only thing missing was some Mexican music to complete the atmosphere. Close to Peabody, Hilton Garden Inn and other surrounding hotels. My only suggestion is watch for added gratuity on your bill. We tipped twice we didn’t notice it but service was great and felt great for tipping twice especially after margaritas and a pitcher of beer. The margaritas were made very good and everyone in our group were pleased with our visit. One of our photos was from the roof top of Peabody hotel looking down.

Taco Tuesday. .99 Cent taco special was great. Salsa was delicious. Guacamole was fresh. Music was so loud I had no choice but to dance to it and do my Happy Dance. You get so much food for your money. Great customer service smiles from the staff. Drinks were nice. I had the apple Martini and he the Long Island.

So this is my second visit. I said I would not be back, but here I am. There are big notices as you walk in, 15% added to all checks, no exceptions. Read menu carefully, etc. Both warning signs that things hadn’t changed. I must say, I was pleasantly surprised. The server was very attentive, even come back to verify my order before he submitted it. Chips are very light & crispy, salsa has an excellent flavor with just a tiny bit of heat, nothing major though. Food like last time, was very good (only reason I gave a second chance). Only complaint is the music was very loud. Too loud for a lunch setting in my opinion. Shockingly, I believe I’ll go back again.
