We were immediately seated. The beer selection was typical for a Mexican restaurant in the United States. Menus, water and chips were brought out immediately. We enjoyed some guacamole with our chip and salsa. I had a nice cold Negro Modelo and a burrito, enchilada and tamale combo.. Good food, served hot and a cold beer to wash it down.

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.

As a Texas transplant, all these items were in any grocery store around. But Louisiana? I'm very happy to have found this place.

Carne Asada Nachos were plain and no flavor despite the toppings. Loaded fries were also flavorless and wasn't coated in much queso. Salsa was NOT complementary (first red flag) and it was the worst salsa I've ever had. It did not even taste like salsa. Very watered down and lacking. The queso tasted regular, tasted like costco's if im being honest. They provided 3 salsas. The salsa verde was not that good but the other one was nice. One was extremely spicy. The service was good though! Inside was nice and clean. The food was just not that good but the visuals were there!
