Well we wanted to good lunch and well all I have to say is that it was probably the worst experience I've ever experienced in America. My waitress who was probably in her kid 20's was asleep up against the wall and it took her over 40 minutes to get us drinks. Don't get me started on my food. It was so cold I wouldn't eat it. The service was not good since that waitress decided to be rude to her customers. In my home country we take pride and determination to provide great service but clearly over here the waitress does not care. Overall this made Maria Mezcal a terrible place to eat at. But my uncle wanted to try this place again for dinner. Well our experience wasn't any different. We had the same waitress from before she was very rude, sleepy, slow and overall an embarrassment to this establishment. My uncle uncle ordered a fried ice cream for dessert. Now fried ice cream is normally vanilla ice cream but it was chocolate. I kindly asked the waitress why is it chocolate and well I was very surprised to hear that the waitress loudly said we only serve chocolate not vanilla which I know is not correct considering the fact that I have eaten their fried ice cream before and it was not indeed chocolate. It was vanilla. I kindly requested to get the manager, the waitress ends up walking away, and I proceed to go over to the manager. I tell the manager that my experience was absolutely terrible and that my fried ice cream was not fitting the description. She apologized, saying that the person who supplies ice cream accidentally got them chocolate instead of vanilla. It was not a problem, but the only reason why it is now is because the waitress decided that her day is ruined everyone else's day should be that made my experience for this establishment absolutely terrible My uncle was absolutely devastated to see this is how America is. I convinced him that it was just a bad experience. Thank you so much for providing us. This absolutely terrible experience..

I saw the sign for Margaritas Mexican Restaurant. When I went inside, I was met with a smiling waiter who took me to my table. It took me a few moments to narrow down my selection and when the waiter came for my order, I had 3 items I couldn't decide on. It was either fajitas, arroz con pollo or huevos con chorizo. I told him what I was interested in and he said to go with the arroz con pollo because there is chicken, veggies and rice, it has everything. My waiter, Phillpe, was so right in suggesting that dish. When it came out, it was amazing. The chicken was loaded with all kinds of sautéed veggies on top with a side of rice, sour cream and guacamole. He was spot on. This dish was amazing. The chicken was so flavorful, the veggies were moist and perfect. I took leftovers home and had them for dinner the next evening. If you do not try this place, it would be a mistake. This place was so colorful as you would expect it to be. For me having a knowledgeable waiter is so very helpful when you can't quite decide what to eat. I was so glad I stopped in to try this place. It is worth a visit and really putting it on your restaurant rotation. Phillipe, you are amazing at your job and should be recognized. You love your job and your knowledge of the food is amazing. Thank you for making my initial visit memorable and I am telling everyone about Margaritas! Please give this place a try. You won't regret it.
