Ordered a frozen mega but got on the rocks. Cool that all the furniture is from Mexico though

OMG so good! I was peckish but didn't want a huge meal. What I did want was a huge margarita! I sat at the bar and was taken care of by Anthony and he was great. Had good recommendations but even better, he knew how to make a drink. The place was not to busy that you could hear yourself think and still enjoy your food and drinks. I had the ceviche mix and while it was very good, it had a bit too much cilantro in it for me. I spent some time picking it all out, ugh. But don't let that disway you, you'll enjoy the place. read more

Was in town visiting and knew we were getting hungry, just across the street we saw 3 Margaritas. The food was not "I have to go back" spectacular - however being from Tucson I think my take on Mexican food has changed. It was very good and more of an American Mexican restaurant. My friend really enjoyed her drink. Our service was slow, however very nice overall. read more

First of all, if you like Mexican food, Margaritas, and live music, this restaurant is a Must in Downtown Denver! My family and I visited Denver for the first time, and we stayed downtown following a convention I attended. My wife is vegan and both of our children are over 21. This wonderful restaurant is right on 16th street, has a nice front patio for seating, and the interior bright, colorful, and with high ceilings felt spacious. The seating was varied with traditional height tables, tall tables, bar seating, and even some comfortable couch style seating. Our server was attentive and friendly, and made great recommendations. We even met Esteban, the owner, and had a nice conversation about the amazing food a the wonderfully creative and delicious margaritas while listening to a talented and entertaining band that played a mix of traditional Mexican music and classics. The lead guitarist was extraordinary on both electric and classic Mexican, acoustic guitars. The food and libations were impressive. First, my wife is vegan and it's often a challenge to find a restaurant that makes both good vegan and non-vegan food, 3 Margaritas nailed it. For starters we got chips (warm and crispy) with good salsa and ordered the very flavorful guacamole. I asked if they had a spicier salsa and was brought their habanero salsa, also home made and very spicy (SO GOOD). My daughter ordered a frozen strawberry margarita, which hit the spot. I tried a creative margarita and ordered the Tamacumber w/ Pueblo Viejo tequila, fresh lime, house made orange syrup, natural tamarind & cucumber over ice and rimmed with some tamarind/chili/lime salt. Perfect! The starter margaritas were refreshing and my Tamacumber was surprising flavorful, tangy, and delicious. For entrees, my wife and I ordered fajitas. She got the Veggie fajitas w/ black beans (even thought the refried beans were vegan) and it was packed with tons of well seasoned vegetables cooked to perfection. I ordered shrimp with refried beans (worth a visit just for the beans btw!) and was equally pleased with the amount of yummy shrimp, tri-colored peppers, and onions. Fajitas were accompanied by the beans, rice, more guacamole, a pico de gallo topping that included shredded cabbage as a welcomed crunchy element for the dish, and warm tortillas. My oldest daughter ordered the black bean soup, also a vegan option. It was flavorful, onion, tomatoes, cilantro, lime and more for flavor and crunch. It was served with tortilla chip strips as a topping. She loved it! My youngest daughter ordered the shrimp ceviche. The presentation was beautiful in a large bowl with a wide rim covered with sliced cucumber, oranges, and tomatoes. The large serving of ceviche itself was filled with of citrusy, well seasoned shrimp, cucumbers, onion, cilantro, tomato, carrots (a surprise, but added a great additional texture and flavor to the dish), and plenty of citrus. She said it was her favorite ceviche she's eaten. After dinner we stayed around to watch the band and have an after dinner drink. We went with the owner recommendations shown in the picture. I had the Carbón Negro, made with Mia Kasta Mezcál, anchor chili liquor, muddled blue & blackberries, rimmed w/ toasted salt. I don't usually like mezcal, but I can't wait to order this drink again! My daughter had the Mile High Guava margarita with Pueblo Viejo tequila, natural guava, orange syrup & fresh squeezed lime juice. It was another exceptional drink. We also shared another Tamacumber. This was a spectacular dining experience from start to finish. I can't recommend this restaurant highly enough if you're looking for great Mexican food, creative and delicious margaritas, great local live music, or a welcoming overall dining experience. We will be back again before we leave. read more

What great service! We were seated right away on a very busy night. A young guy brought us chips and salsa pretty soon after and our server came and took our drink orders soon after that. He was moving so quickly and brought them over right away and took our dinner orders. I ordered the Del Mar enchiladas and my friend ordere beef chimichanga. The salsa had a kick but it was very good and the chips were nice and crispy. Our server refilled our drinks before our meals came. Great job! Our meals were hot in temperature and quite tasty. Mine was filled with shrimp, scallops, and crabmeat. The sauce was sooo good. Definitely will be back again! read more

We went to 3 Margaritas to watch a few World Cup games. The gigantic margarita was that - gigantic. Drinks and complimentary chips and salsa were perfection. The enchiladas were alright. Wish there was a bit more flavor or spice on each in addition to on the rice and beans. The atmosphere was electric once the Mexico game started and for that, 3 Margaritas gets 4 stars. Service was quick and kind. Recommend this as a first stop on a night on 16th street. read more

3 Margaritas - Denver, CO After a long day of work, we were looking for a place to grab a quick bite, have a couple of cold beers, and catch the NCAA Championship game. Staying in downtown Denver, there were plenty of options within walking distance, and we landed on 3 Margaritas. We arrived a bit late for a full dinner, so we kept it simple with appetizers and drinks. First off, every TV in the place was tuned to the Nuggets game--which makes sense given we're in Denver--but when we asked to switch one over to the championship game, the staff was quick to accommodate. Always appreciate that As for the food... it was just okay. The nachos were the highlight--loaded, flavorful, and definitely the best thing we had. On the flip side, the queso was a miss and not something I'd order again. The atmosphere had some energy, but the music was a bit loud, making it harder to fully relax and enjoy the game. Not terrible, but noticeable. That said, the menu looked pretty solid, and I'd be open to giving it another shot under different circumstances when we're not coming in late after a long day. Bottom line: A decent stop if you're in the area and craving Mexican food, but based on this visit alone, nothing stood out enough to make it a must-return spot. 3 stars--good, but room to improve. read more

Not a great example of Mexican food. I'd skip it when I'm back in Denver again. Service was lacking.

Stopped by 3 Margaritas and tried the Seafood Enchiladas -- absolutely delicious! The shrimp and crab were fresh and flavorful, the sauce creamy and rich without being heavy. The rice was perfect -- light, fluffy, and full of flavor. I was dining solo, but the staff made me feel totally welcome -- friendly, attentive, and genuine from start to finish. Great food, great service, great vibe. I'll definitely be back! read more

Stopped in for a snack and they have ceviche on the menu. Being from Texas, I was a little worried, but it was very good. Not traditional, but very good. They added carrots to it, threw me off for a bit, but added a nice crunchy texture. Service was just OK - sat at the bar and you typically expect better service there than at a table. Loud atmosphere, tVs behind the bar were small and hard to watch football on. Would definitely go back if I Denver and wanted Mexican food. read more

The only good there is the service and the drinks. But what can you really expect from a tourist restaurant? I went in around 1pm for a quick bite and the place was basically empty so I sat at the bar, ordered the Sol de Oaxaca (very tasty) 7/10 and the guacamole. It came out very fast because the guacamole is premade, definitely not made fresh. 5/10. The chips were good. I ordered the mix ceviche which the bartender said was "fresh" - it's not. And it came out with a lot of big sloppily chopped carrots which...kinda weird. But it makes sense...they were trying to hide the texture of the frozen tilapia. The tilapia was grey and hard. Freshly thawed out was probably what he meant. 3/10 The second drink I got was the Carbon Negro. Tasty but I had so much ice in my drink that it was hard to drink. Whatever though...It was good but all the muddled fruit was trapped under the ice hahaha -still 7/10. Definitely won't be coming back for the food...maybe the drinks. read more

Good service and a great Margarita but the food was not worth the money. I had a chipotle chicken burrito, at least that's what they called it. It was a bean burrito with a 'hint' of chicken. And the live band was horrible! They sounded like a broken record. I hope they have day jobs. read more

Disappointed With the Food and Customer Service I visited on 09/07/26 and ordered the nachos plate. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed with both the food and the way my concerns were handled by the staff. The biggest issue with the nachos was the ratio of toppings to chips. There were simply far too many toppings and not enough chips. I was able to salvage maybe 10 good chips, but after that, the nachos quickly became soggy and mushy from the overwhelming amount of beans, guacamole, and other toppings. By the time I stopped eating, there were still plenty of toppings left on the plate, but very few usable chips. For nearly $20 for a plate of nachos, I expected something I could actually enjoy. I initially wasn't even looking for a discount. I was trying to give some constructive feedback and suggest that the kitchen use fewer toppings and provide a better chip-to-topping ratio. Unfortunately, when I brought this up, the first gentleman I spoke with became defensive and essentially told me, "That's not how things work here. You have to pay." I understood that I had to pay, and I was willing to do so, but I explained that I didn't feel comfortable paying full price for food that I couldn't properly enjoy. My actual waiter then came over, and when I explained the situation to him, his response also felt dismissive and frustrated rather than accommodating. There were several simple ways this could have been handled. Someone could have said, "I'm sorry you didn't enjoy them. Let me bring you some additional chips," or offered another reasonable solution. Instead, I felt like my concerns were being treated as an inconvenience. And honestly, I think the nachos themselves are unnecessarily complicated. When did nachos become so difficult? I just wanted a beer and a good plate of nachos. In my opinion, $20 is far too expensive for what is essentially a shareable appetizer, especially when the recipe has so many toppings that the chips can't hold up. I would strongly suggest simplifying the dish: more chips, fewer toppings, some actual nacho cheese, jalapeños, olives, sour cream, and a reasonable price point around $15. Keep it simple. I think you'd sell more of them, particularly during lunch, while also reducing ingredient costs. I ultimately felt like I spent about $27 on a meal I couldn't properly enjoy, and what bothered me almost as much as the food was the lack of willingness from the two male servers to hear me out or find a solution. Customer feedback shouldn't automatically become an argument. Sometimes a customer is simply trying to explain why they were disappointed. I do want to recognize one employee who stood out in a very positive way. An older female server approached me, asked what was going on, and genuinely listened. She was understanding, kind, and accommodating. She took the time to see my perspective and made me feel heard. That is what good customer service looks like, and I sincerely hope management recognizes and appreciates her. Overall, I left unhappy with both the nachos and the way my concerns were handled. I'm sharing this because I think the restaurant has an opportunity to improve both the recipe and the customer-service experience. Listen to your customers, keep the nachos simple, give us more chips, and don't make someone feel like they're causing a problem just because they're giving honest feedback. read more

As a couple, we stopped in here for drinks before dinner elsewhere on a weeknight... They were moderately busy and even had a mariachi band, which sounded really good. Their menu of margaritas is quite legit, they even have three sizes. We chose the regular, lime margarita in their Gigante size, which is about 36 ounces and it's HUGE!! They even have a larger size than this! The drinks were pretty good and nicely strong too! Service was friendly. The venue is beautiful. The food coming out of the kitchen looked and smelled great. Definitely would return!! read more

The food was not good. We didn't get beyond the appetizer. The staff were friendly and attentive. Only good thing I can share.

3 Margaritas used to be a family favorite. Maybe it's because the location is downtown, maybe it's because the economy is f**cked - who knows. $37 for a 'medium' margarita? Is absolutely insane. More insane ? Not making your guests' aware of the price. The service here was subpar at best. I chose to visit 3 margaritas because it was a reliable, reasonable option - and was severely dissatisfied in the service, prices, and constant disruption of servers bumping into our table while managing their other tables. Overall, crowded, overpriced, and a sad excuse of even a chain mexican restaurant in the Denver area. Would absolutely not recommend. Go somewhere that has authentic mexican food and support a small business that doesn't lie, provides great service, and a margarita worth $37 :) read more

Stopped in on a Thursday around 2pm when there were maybe 10 tables seated. It took about 15 minutes just to get a water and a margarita, which set the tone for slow service. The men's restroom also had no hot water, which wasn't great. On the positive side, their house margarita was very good. My first skirt steak came out cold, but once corrected it was tasty and well-prepared. Overall, if you can get past the slow service and small details being overlooked, the food itself is worth it. read more

Surprised this place is still in business. Feels like a Chevys that is trying to be a little inventive. The food is mediocre and uninspiring. Service was fine but I certainly wouldn't go back, the tequila was overpriced and the shots felt watered down. Also this part of 16th street is a little dicey. read more

The chips needed more salt and the salsa on the table was only ok but that's a personal preference and everything else was delicioso! read more

Our experience here was just ok. Nothing horrible but nothing outstanding either. I don't think they have high chairs, we were not offered one, which was fine. The waiter did not refill the water glasses often enough. Husband got a margarita and it was good! The chips and salsa came out fresh. Husband really enjoyed the salsa but it was too spicy for me. My fajitas were also spicy and I don't like spicy food. He enjoyed his burrito. The portions were large, we will have enough for another meal. read more

It was my last day in Denver and we needed to grab a quick lunch close to downtown. This place came up when I searched for a great and quick lunch option. The location was great. As you walk up, you see the outdoor patio, which I'm sure is nice during the spring and summer. Inside, you surrounded by vibrant colors and multiple seating options which are centered around the bar. Now, the service was not very speedy as some time past before we were greeted. Additionally, while our waitress quickly took our drink order, it took a while to get our food order even though it was not very busy. I got the lunch combination with an enchilada and burrito. The food was as expected. It was nothing fancy but good. I would not go out of my way to go back, but it is an option if you are downtown and hungry with some time to kill. read more
