The food and service were good but not remarkable. We went for an early diner before the theatre. The ambience was fine but the music was too loud to talk over. We were very pleased that our server lowered the volume when we asked. It seemed a bit over priced for decent, but not extraordinary, Mexican food.

Stopped in after a play and it was very convenient to the theater district, and at 10:00 very quiet and comfortable. The nachos had a lot of toppings on them and quickly filled us up. My only suggestion is that you get the hot sauce and add that as there was not much spice in the dish. This is a very reasonably priced place to know about in the theater district.

Our friends and I have been to this location when it was a Mediterranean Restaurant, same owner, and liked it. So now with the Mexican theme, we also enjoyed it immensely. The food was fresh, plentiful and tasty. They even had a REALLY great hamburger and fries for my hubby who is not the Mexican food type. Definitely will be back.

Margaritas is a fine place for pre-theatre meal. Food is good, tasty. I’ve had better Mexican food but I like this place enough to return. Reasonably priced and a happy hour. Drinks are just ok.

Nothing to look at from the outside. You would probably pass it right by, but surprisingly, we had a great experience and enjoyed the night. Great food and great wine. Our server was terrific and very accommodating. Recommend it highly.

Looks like a hole in the wall and we were hesitant at first. Glad we did go in. The half price margueritas until 8 PM are a great value especially for the City. Service was quick and friendly, food was very good. If you're in the area I definitely recommend.

The restaurant is intimate and quiet which we really appreciated. The food was excellent BUT the drinks were a big disappointment. Margaritas are $18 and they were very weak, not just on alcohol but flavor. I would go back for the food but next time I'm drinking straight tequila!
