Nice little family type of restaurant. Good food and friendly service too. The beef Tacos Chihuahua were amazing, glad I picked that dish, my wife had a combo plate with enchiladas and a taco which she really enjoyed. We have only one regret, La Margarite is in Texas and we live several states away. We never had to wait on refills, and everybody was playing things safe. I noted how quickly the staff cleaned each table once the customers left, they were taking no chances with our safety and this was comforting. Any time I'm in town, this place will be on the menu. read more

CHECK YOUR RECEIPT BEFORE YOU PAY!! You will Not want to eat a La Margaritas! Mother's Day Seven of us went to eat at La Margaritas. Bear in mind all of us are 50+ years of age. Some of us got a glass of water, and some didn't. Those that ordered tea got no refills. One ordered a margarita. She got a margarita mixed with wine instead of tequila. Two order Asado plates and got child's plates of Asado at adult prices. One order shrimp. What she got was scary. A ball sitting on a lot of rice. As she took it apart with her fork, we saw it was a ball of Bacon, uncooked bacon with what looked like shrimp (2 shrimp). Nasty as hell. She sent it back and the owner/manager asked her if she had not read what was in the dish before she ordered it. So they didn't come back to our table until they brought us a small slice of soggy coconut cake for free. When we we went to pay they had already added the tip to the tickets. Some had left cash on the table and some of us added a tip at the register not realizing the tip had already been added. They did not let us know. We noticed it later. One of us showed the cashier a picture of an adult plate of Asado that he had eaten at Aguas. She said if you didn't like it, you should have eaten at Aguas.. Anyway as we were paying, the owner/manager watched us the whole time. She looked angry. We all WILL NOT BE EATING AT LA MARGARITAS AGAIN!! Being Rude as hell won't get you any customers. read more

The customer service experience was terrible. The staff was extremely rude and rushed us through our meal. The restaurant was dimly lit, and there were no customers. The waiter, who was Hispanic, was not very friendly either. read more

Typical Mexican restaurant, nothing too fancy but the service was wonderful. Came with the whole family, 9 people, and the level of patience the servers had with us was incredible! The chips and salsa were so good, the chips weren't oily or too salty and the salsa had a nice kick to it. Food tasted as if it was homemade. The star of the show, easily, was the Sopapilla with ice cream! read more

I am a repeat customer and come once a week. After my first experience I enjoyed coming back. This time it was awful. I had a short hair in my food like the length of a natural lash. I informed the staff. Instead of listening they blamed me and said it was mine. I informed them i have curly brown hair so could not be mine. then the other woman stated it could be my eyelash due to my lashes. I informed her it was in fact not. She stated i had a issue yesterday with my michelada due to me literally showing them it was full of salt at the bottom. I looked at my transactions and they totaled to atleast 10. Therefore making it seem as if i am a problematic customer or that i try to get away with not paying for my service was highly offensive and rude. I will no longer be coming back. I once admired the family like atmosphere and the owner is a sweet woman I even have a favorite server. I no longer want to return then to tell me at the door i can no longer return. is even more rude. Mind you this was not my first bad experience but sometimes everyone has their days so yes i returned but will not again! read more

After years of being a patron, me and my wife were severely disappointed in the total experience, from the cheese dip, service, quality of food,and the increase in price. Campo Azul comes highly recommend. read more

We sat for an hour and a half and didn't even get our food. We finally went up to someone after multiple tables got their food after they were sat after us. They blamed a 20 top table for the whole thing. We pointed out one table that got their food after we were waiting an hour and they said they are not even paying for their food. So we will never be back and unless you want a horrible experience don't go here either. I have to give one star to post but they don't even deserve that! read more

I was in town on business and was recommended La Margarita for dinner. Small hole in the wall place but let me tell you the salsa and guacamole is delicious. I had the La Margarita plate for dinner and was not disappointed, believe me my plate was clean by the time I was done with my meal. I will definitely be back the next time I am in Odessa. read more

The food is really good and the margaritas are wine base but also very good!. Very quaint little place. read more

La Margarita - Wine base margarita.. Very good! - Mexican Near Me - Odessa, Texas

So I was told that this place was the bomb. It bimb alright. Wasn't that impress with the place. Food was decent, nothing to really right home about. Had their steak ranchero, they asked how I like my steak, doesn't matter cause it comes out well done. The enchiladas that came with it was hmm on the salty side. Asked for all rice and it came out with beans. Didn't finish my dinner, cause well it wasn't all that. I get better M divan food in Houston. read more

Awesome place that is family owned by a great family. The food is always delicious no matter what you order. Handles large party very well.

Best food in our area. Queso is so good and stringy. Incredible service. Most of the time the music isn't too loud. It's nice to be able to have conversations with the people at your table without blaring music. read more

Shrimp soup was fine but by the end was so salty. Steak was tough, overcooked in the fajitas. Chicken fajitas were good. The salsa was painfully hot for everyone. Bathroom arrangement is befuddling. read more

I stopped here on the recommendation of the desk clerk at the motel I was staying in. I was a little hesitant after I read the reviews , but decided to try it for myself. I did like the salsa , it has some bite to it. My mouth was warmed up. The chips were too thick for my liking. I ordered a tamale on the side . I wasn't crazy about it. It was mostly masa , and no filling. The tacos I got were good. A little greasy like some have stated in other reviews , but that's the bacon fat , and bacon makes everything better . There was so much meat filling for them , you had to eat part of it before you could close the tacos up. I left very full , but thought the almost $15 for the three tacos was a bit pricey. read more

We were reluctant to go to another Mexican restaurant on our trip but the food was absolutely outstanding. We live in Tucson yet the nachos with the beef and beans were the best we ever had. My husband's beef enchilada he said was fabulous. read more

La Margarita - Beef and bean nachos with wonderful guacamole. And I never like anyone's but mine. - Mexican Near Me - Odessa, Texas

Wow!!!!! A quaint and authentic Mexican restaurant minutes off of Interstate 20! The staff was great!!!! And the food portions were over the top - you won't leave hungry! My husband ordered beef fajita nachos - wow! Covered with cheese and jalapeños- and a scoop of delicious guacamole on each end of the plate! I ordered brisket tacos (recommended by waitress) and the plate was so so yummy! And the salsa..... omg definitely made in the kitchen! We brought home enough for supper! Plus the waitress was kind enough to bring a Togo container for the salsa!!!! La Margarita is filled with pictures of locals and write ups from different publications!!!! You MUST stop in - it's only a couple of minutes off I20!!! When we were leaving the owner stopped and talked to us like we had known her for years and this was our first visit!!! It won't be our last!!!! And one final comment - when you notice abuelas vomiting and out - YOU KNOW IT MUST HE AUTHENTIC!!!!! Good Price!!!! read more

No matter coming for sit down or to go order ...the food & staff are on spot . Now I got my favorites..cheese enchiladas with green sauce ...Tamales with red sauce ummm pretty much all read more

Wonderful food, wonderful atmosphere Try their chihuahua tacos!!! Most excellent. Great prices as well.

Hot chips, great salsa, best cheese dip in town. We ALL (6) got our food in 8- minutes. This is after our late guest ordered the chili verde. Delicious food, great service, the place was packed for a Monday lunch. I saw some great looking carne asada, I had the taco salad with chicken. We met the owner, very sweet and cooking too. Just a great place to eat, thank you. read more

The Chicken La Margarita is amazing. II haven't beeen here in years, but it is better than I remember!

I screwed up and I paid for it in full.... I forgot to check the ratings of this particularly horrific establishment. Please read and take for complete honesty, for that is how I write this out with an upset stomach. The salsa has the distinct flavor of cigarette butts and even after saying something, I got another bowl of the same crap. Chips were ok at best, which carries the distinguished honor of being the best item I ate with this meal. Menu states 1 refill on a 3.00 glass of tea..... are you freaking serious... I should have left, but didnt, since I was very hungry. I ordered a beef FAJITA chimichanga.... and was told that the 9.59 price DID NOT include any sauce over the chimichanga. Once my meal arrived I was pleased to find no, I repeat, NO FAJITA meat in the deep fried burrito, only some ground beef. After telling waitress of the issue, she informed me that that is the way they serve BEEF FAJITA meat.... Fawk this place and idiots that abound here. This place is why there needs to be a way to do zero stars.... I do not ramble on about most places I eat, but I can't say enough bad about this crap hole. read more

I added these guys to yelp because surprisingly they were not there.... They have the usual Mexican comfort food, but the big difference here is that I could tell from the flavors and the staff that they make things with love. I ordered one of the mix plates that had Asado de Puerco, Carne Verde, 2 Chiles Rellenos, Rice and Beans. Taste was great! Size of the plate was very big, and everything was just solid. It seems like these guys are very well known locally, but for us outsiders, please give this a try, you won't regret it. I'd definitely come back! read more

I've been going to this place for years. One of my favorite Mexican food restaurants. Can't go wrong with this place. Great food, excellent tea, hot salsa, and great customer service. One of my go to dishes is the brisket tacos. read more

The food is excellent. The reason for the four stars is the service, everytime my family and I eat there the service is slow or they do not really aknowledge us. The food is good enough for us to keep coming back! Try the beef enchiladas, and the La Magarita plate!!!! read more

Best restaurant in Odessa! Love their salsa and they have GREAT guacamole. I have eaten here for the last 18 years and have never been let down! read more

Fuck this place the worst restaurant I have ever ate at, if I could give them zero star I would, the service sucked and the food sucked the damn waitress couldn't even say your welcome when you would tell here thank you. read more

Not bad tasting mexican food. Free chips and salsa. Staff is attentive.

I can only think of one time when I've had worse Mexican food. I ordered the Mexican dinner. The enchilada sauce tasted like gussied up ketchup. The chile relleno was a chile at one point, I think. I'm not really sure, because it was smaller and flatter than than the enchilada. The salsa was a little on the spicy side, but average otherwise. read more

I read all the comments about this place and I was scared to go. Having gone, I don't know why people gave this place such a bad vibe. The food was good! And for it being to expensive, it's Odessa everywhere is expensive now. The salsa was good as well. I will definitely come back soon. read more

The smell if this place from the outside is delicious. My mouth started watering before we even got to the door. Me and a friend decided to try this place out for lunch because every time we drive by, it's packed. The chips and salsa were very good. Not too spicy but just enough. The menu is huge filled with any Mexican food you could think of. I ordered the chicken quesadillas as my lunch. They came out and honestly I was a little disappointed with the quantity. For the price, there should be more. The quality was alright, nothing really good enough to spread the word about. Really the saving grace for this place was the horchchata. It was probably the best I've ever had. Overall I probably won't come back due to the prices were too high for the quantity. I mean 3 small tacos for almost $10? No no no. read more

Bland food, outrageous prices ok service. 2 adults, 2 kids = -$50 Chips were pretty good. Sent Gorditas back ordered something different they didn't adjust the price. Warning stay away warning stay away read more

The beef fajitas tasted like spoiled meat , beans tasted bad , rice no salt , tortillas were store bought and raw not even cooked It was a bad experience. No real margaritas . Never ever going back read more

Worst food I've eating got food poisoning meat was nasty service sucked I suggest any place but that

I ate lunch there today and the tacos chihuahua and an ice tea. The bill before tip was $17.54. The meal consisted of three tacos beans and rice. While it was very good I must say that I don't think three tacos are worth $13.99. That's $4.50 per taco ladies and gentlemen. I'll go again just as soon as I get my American Express Black card. read more

Regretfully, I should have listened to the reviews. Service was slow. Food was bland. Salsa was "different." Queso had a weird flavor. Will not be back ever. Learn from my mistake! DO NOT GO HERE! read more

Me and my brother stopped here and enjoyed it. Service was great and food was pretty good. Definitely not the best Mexican food in west Texas, but the Asado was pretty tasty. I did not like the enchiladas though. The queso is really good and the salsa was hot and delicious. read more
