La Margarita Restaurant

The food here is alright, there is definitely a markup due to the location which makes sense, its in the middle of a busy market. Depending on when you go, you may see the waiter often or hardly at all. Chips and salsa are great, definitely a good place to stop by if you just want to relax and have some drinks.

Unfortunately, there were a few dishes that lacked the punch and finesse expected of Mexican cuisine. My food, though decent, could have benefited from a more robust blend of spices. The prices were reasonable, considering the quality of the food, and the overall ambiance of the place was warm and inviting. Despite the inconsistency in the culinary offerings, the attentive and friendly service provided by the staff was the highlight of the evening. Their efforts went a long way in ensuring our comfort and satisfaction throughout the meal. With some refinements in the kitchen, this restaurant has the potential to become a true culinary hotspot in the area.

We stopped in for dinner during our visit to San Antonio. They are located downtown in the Market Square, it was easy to find. It was only a few blocks from our hotel, but they also have limited parking. We both had a delicious burrito. They were cooked to perfection and full of flavor. We both had margaritas, frozen and on the rocks which was very delicious and hit the spot. They have plenty of seating both indoors and out. We arrived about an hour before closing and was seated indoors. We were served relatively quickly and the staff was friendly and very attentive. Overall we had an excellent dining experience. We will stop in again on our next visit to San Antonio.

Being a local San Antonians, we usually don't frequent restaurants in the Market Square, but today was a special occasion with friends and family visiting San Antonio, and they requested La Margarita Restaurant. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and not crowded. Granted, it was a Wednesday evening. There were 2 other large parties in the restaurant but not crowded at all. Our server was very patient with questions and attentive to our visiting friends and even offered a vegan option. Our food was fresh, colorful, and flavorful. Our drinks were simple margaritas and micholdas. Everyone seemed to enjoy their meals and drinks. We enjoyed mariachis singing at our table and we some of us sang along with their songs. Note that each song requested is $10, but it is worth it. Overall, we enjoyed our evening and our dining experience in Market Square.
