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

    Margaritas - A new soup and the stuffed jalapeños

    I tried 2 of their new food items and both were very good! The stuffed jalapeños are decent as…read morewell. The sauce to dip them in is a bit spicy but it is good. 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.

    At a suggestion we tried this place. Had I not been told how to order I might have ordered wrong…read more We ordered the Hibachi chicken lunch and a fried California roll without the fish eggs. We were brought chips and salsa at the beginning along with our drinks. It's a casual place with a sit down eating on one side and something else on the sushi side. I tried to get extra sauce but once she dropped off the bill she didn't come back or look at us. When I paid I asked again but there was a charge! There was enough chicken for two. We have leftover for dinner. The California roll was huge

    ABSOLUTE SLOP... I gave this restaurant three tries. The…read morefirst two attempts were mediocre at best, but I just got done eating the absolutely ***WORST*** Mexican "cuisine" meal of my life tonight, and trust me, I've eaten more Mexican food out than any other cuisine, stretching the entire United States, and a few in Mexico itself. I ordered al a carte as I typically do (for the variety and to see if they can do multiple dishes well). I received three main course items sloppily placed into a single container drowning in a chili powder and salt heavy sauce such that I could not taste the tortilla or protein...it all tasted like a chili powder salt lick (btw, I am NOT sensitive AT ALL to sodium...I have been home cooking for 3 decades and fully appreciate a well-seasoned dish). This was the worse slop I've ever eaten at a Mexican restaurant, and to boot, the meal cost $20 for three al a carte items and a small side of rice. At the counter, I asked for a small side of their spiciest salsa (which I always do) and they up-charged me $2 for a literally a single two ounce serving of what appeared to be their house salsa with a ton of guess what....a handful of chili powder in it. Their prices are absolute highway robbery for the quality of food they are serving, and it's quite obvious that since they are the only Mexican restaurant in this entire county, they are gouging the local Caucasian population that doesn't know any better. At this quality, their prices should be half of what they are, and if that were the case, you still wouldn't find me eating there. You'll get no more chances from me, you low-quality scam artists. Bye and good riddance.

    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.
