    Tacos were amazing and margaritas! Clean inside but a weird smell? Service was good as well.

    Most important, the food was REALLY good. I didn't really understand the menu at first, and the man…read morebehind the counter wasn't very friendly. He told me their chips and salsa aren't like what you get in most Mexican restaurants, and that they make their salsa in house. I was confused, because I was like, What do you mean your chips and salsa aren't like chips and salsa? But I get it now, and they really aren't. The chips are totopos, and the salsa is a very flavorful, thin pureed sauce that has been cooked or roasted-- not sure exactly how they make it, but there is cooking and technique involved for sure. They were SO GOOD. So delicious-- I have an Oaxaca restaurant nearish me, and now I can't wait to try it. I ordered the ceviche, which came with the totopos. I asked for more salsa verde and glad I did. They do charge for extra salsa (if your order comes with it, they give you a little of each the red and green). Glad I did because it was SO GOOD. I licked the container for real. If I ever come back to Covington it would be to come here and have the exact same thing. I took a star off because I didn't like the service.

Orders are always ready when they say. The only reason I'm not giving a 5-star rating is because I recently veered off from street tacos (of which I'm a connoisseur, if I do say so myself) to try other menu items and I wasn't all that impressed. I'd recommend sticking to the street tacos, which are amazing every time. Great job, Jose (or whatever your name actually is :).

The waitress was good but seemed to be a little busy. They were down a cook she said so food was coming out a bit slower than normal. The inside was clean and I had a clean booth. No sticky floors.

    We've had several not-so-great experiences at this Covington location over the years, but the last…read moreone ... was the last one. We went in last week for Taco Tuesday. It was around 7:15. They were relatively busy, but not slammed (quite a few empty tables). We were seated in the very back corner on the south side of the building (not a problem, but a little off the "main" part of the dining room). We looked over our menus and waited for a server. And waited. And waited. During this time, a male server (a pretty good sized fellow) came over to the table right across from us at least 3 separate times ... glanced at our table but didn't acknowledge us. When he walked away the first time, we assumed he was probably going to go to another server that they had been seated, but no one else ever appeared. He came back to that table again and made conversion with the lady and child who were sitting there (and were apparently, waiting for another person to join them). Never looked our way. Came back a third time and by this time, we had been waiting for over 15 minutes. He again glanced ar our table (avoiding eye contact) and walked away again. It was obvious we had not been waited on, still had our menus in front of us and nothing to drink or anything. So we decided to leave. On the way out the door, I stopped at the register up front and told the lady, in a very polite but disappointed tone, that we had been sitting back there at our booth for over 15 minutes and had never even been acknowledged in any way by anyone. She just stared blankly at me, as if she either didn't understand English to know what I was saying, or like she truly could not care less ... not sure which (although both are unacceptable, so it doesn't really matter). She never said a word. Just looked at me blankly. So we just turned and walked out the door. They obviously didn't give two hoots about disappointing the customer. We will not be back. Oh, and one more thing ... just a day or two later, we read the most recent bad health department inspection reports, during which they seized a good deal of their meats for being held at over 54° so maybe it was a blessing in disguise that we didn't eat there that night! Might've regretted that, big time. Anyway, we'll find other places to spend our Taco Tuesday nights, but it won't be at any restaurant called Margaritas.

    Can I get a show of hands on WHO fights a Chicken Chimichanga w/plastic to-go ware? Anyone? Yeah…read morethat's a problem but only one of many as I wait on my receipts to come back to me. 1. Seems there's some weird disconnect going on I wasn't aware of... This location is now going by Las Mexicanos instead of Los Comales. Looks like almost all new staff too, that could definitely use some Customer Service training. The menu has a 3rd name on it that seemed off as well. I was not told to come to the hostess stand to be seated, no friendly greeting when I did approach the stand. Once seated, the chip & salsa dude was quick enough in dripping them off w/out so much as a greeting. Maybe he's the silent type? Who knows? 2 Now the real wait begins.... Nothing to drink nor any sign of anyone even slowing down @ my table to take a drink order. Maybe they were fighting to see who would take my order? ‍ I was almost finished w/the basket of chips, decided what I wanted and LAID THE CLOSED MENU on the other side of the table close to the edge, hoping someone would notice. I had decided if they couldn't be bothered to come by the time I finished the chips I was leaving. Magically a waitress finally shows up w/3 chips to spare. Placed the order for water and dinner at the same time. Dinner came out quickly but looking pitiful w/barely a full tablespoon of guac, tomatoes or sour cream. Cheap bastards! The flour part of the chimichanga was NOT CRISP, & I was given plastic utensils to maneuver this sad plate. I have eaten here MANY times as I live in the area so I am more than disappointed w/this experience. Not a single customer sitting in the middle @ the 4-tops & @ least 7 booths empty; on a Saturday night @ 8:00 pm. Sad that they have lost so much business, I'll think twice before considering spending my money here again.

    I frequented this place when I lived here. I return when I visit home. Went in with my family and…read morethe service was lacking. It seemed as if the server didn't want to take care of our table! The food and cocktails were fine. Floors are very slick so beware. The server seemed ok and then midway through the meal, her energy shifted. I hope that she was just having a tough day. Can't say if I'll for sure come back whenever I visit again.
