We really like their Salvadorean House Specialties. The food is good, most of the time. Every once in awhile the salsa hasn't been our favorite. The service is always good. If you go early it's a quit setting. It gets loud around 7PM. read more

Margaritas Grill - Sopa De Res - Mexican Near Me - Burke, Virginia

This is the most delicious food. We always Uber Eats it. Taquitos and Papusas are our go-tos. Queso is spectacular.

Up front Caveat- I'm from Texas and pretty picky about my Mexican food. I spent several years in El Paso so I have a certain expectation of Mexican food, and being from Houston prefer Tex Mex. This restaurant offered neither option. Not impressed with the food but I'll definitely drink here again. The margaritas are 5 stars; the service is 4 stars and the food is 3 stars. It's a fun little restaurant with good music and a pleasant ambience. The server was attentive but my husband's order was delayed, and then they sent him an enchilada plate when he ordered a burrito. My vegetarian fajitas were covered in some sort of enchilada or tomato sauce. The fried rice was evidently from a box. The refried beans were decent. My husband said his carne asada burrito was okay and the kids enjoyed their cheese enchiladas. I'm also accustomed to free refills of chips and salsa - which was not offered after the first basket. The chips were rather thick and not salted. My daughter enjoyed it but the salsa was pretty lackluster - and warm, without being spicy. All in all, an okay experience but not one we will repeat- except for the margaritas. Great happy hour deals. It was affordable for a family of four (plus drinks) coming in well under $100. read more

3.7/5 Food: we ordered 2 pupusas, 1 beef enchilada and 2 chicken enchilada. The pupusas were absolutely amazing and would def recommend everyone to order at least one if you stop by. The cheese pull was actually insane! The enchiladas were alright. They weren't anything spectacular nor was it the best enchiladas I've ever had but it was good enough to curb the cravings! Ordering: we ordered it as take out and it was ready by the time we arrived so we had all the food warm and fresh. The person taking our order must was very kind and made it easy with no problem. We live right around the corner so we definitely plan on coming back to enjoy some margs! read more

We've been coming here for a while; service has been hit or miss and after a particularly bad experience months ago we haven't been back... but we came back last week and were happy to be back; food was good and came out promptly. Don't waste your time or money on the salads here but the pork, lomo saltado, and nachos are tasty! read more

This place has amazing food..absolutely the best Mexican/Salvadorian food ever!!!! This was delivered and still fantastic!!!!! read more

We stopped in today for a late lunch. We were met with very friendly and attentive staff. We were served Salsa and Chips when seated. Excellent homemade Salsa. We had to ask for more. Our friend told us that this place had the best pupusas around, and he was not wrong. We ordered the Bean and the Pork and Cheese pupusas. Out of this world! We had the Trio Enchilada Dish. It was perfectly balanced with tasty spices. The owner, Jose, was charming and genuine. We appreciated his passion and our overall experience. This is now our go to place. Hopefully this review won't keep us from getting a table the next time we visit. read more

Nice small hole in the wall Mexican/El Salvadoran food place that has good service and Great Food! You have do try the Sopa de res! very flavourful soup. The Carne Asada meat was so tender and juicy! Probably the best I've had because other places are hard and chewy and dry. Good chips and fresh salsa as the appetizer. I would def try this place out and I'll be back here again to try other stuff they got. read more

I knew what I wanted, a vegetarian quesadilla but didn't know how to order. The manager ordered for me: a chicken quesadilla, "hold the chicken," put cheese and beans inside. It was so good, I'll be back soon for another! Eactly what I wanted and it had avocado on the side. Perfect! read more

If you're local and love amazing Mexican cuisine look no farther and the drinks are amazing too !! Perfect little place with lots of options and great prices. read more

Great food, I mean really great, and great prices! Can't beat the daily Happy Hour. Fantastic papusas!

I have always had a great meal and Margaritas Grill, and we come here often. Good service, full bar with a lot of margarita options, amazing salsa, and wonderful special menu items. Both the Salvadoran and Mexican items are delicious. The carnita tacos are always yummy. Save room for dessert! read more

I did a Yelp search for a restaurant nearby me with outdoor/ patio seating and decided to check out Margaritas Grill on a Tuesday evening and oh boy, was I pleased!! The patio holds 6 people at the tables and maybe another 4 or 6 people on the long bench outside. There is inside dining as well. I was totally impressed and felt welcomed by the staff. It felt very cozy and warm. I had a House Margarita which was delicious! They serve you a basket of corn chips and salsa that had a rich, smoky, chipotle flavor. We ordered the Cheese Poupusa for appetizers. For my entrée, I had the Salvadorean style Carne Asada with a flavorful, rich tomato, onion and spices sauce on top of marinated fried steak which was really tender and not too chewy, black beans, and I had fried plantain instead of rice. They were out of the flan dessert , so we order the Tres Leches instead! It was soooooooo good! The only downfall was that I had to wait a significant amount of time to dine outside. I wish they could expand the outdoor dining area a pinch further. I can only imagine how long the wait is later in the week. The food was really good. Service was quick yet personable. The solid yelp reviews, outdoor dining and the combination of Salvadorean and Mexican food on the menu is what what sparked my interest to give this restaurant a try. I could become a regular here!!!

Most amazing and authentic food we've had in the area the seating is great and the location is convenient. Give it a try. You will leave full and happy. read more

My wife and I were able to find a seat since it was a lil early. Still busy though. Their salsa is nice with a roasted veggie taste, I usually get their lomo saltado which is delicious but tried their chimichanga Al pastor. Very good and good texture. My wife got her mojarra frita which is a whole fried tilapia. As usual she loved it. We love coming here as the owners and staff are always so friendly and helpful. Highly recommend it if you want some authentic Mexican/salvadoran food read more

This is my absolute favorite restaurant for Mexican food. Best kept secret around. The deep fried chimichanga is incredible and I absolutely love the steak nachos. The fact that they ask "how you like the steak cooked" for the nachos tells you they are legit. If you haven't been here, you need to try it. The people that work here are very kind and obviously prideful. read more

Good times. Good food. They have always had prompt and friendly service for me. I rely on them for carry out from time to time as well.

We've dined here a few times for dinner and my SO has dined here for lunch-which he says is quite a deal. Every visit service has been friendly and attentive. Our food has been delicious! I love the fajitas and the carne asada is good too. The chips and salsa is a nice starter; the salsa has a kick to it. The margaritas are solid and heavily discounted during happy hour Monday-Friday. We live very close to this spot so we will be back! read more

The meat is great; the portions are getting smaller and smaller and the prices are going up. The black beans, Spanish rice, and refried beans are ordinary. I ordered fajitas and asked for sour cream, guac, etc on side and owner or manager said too many containers would be used - wasteful . What? I am paying you! Order got messed up after repeating it 3 x . Extra fees too -- IDK. A pass for me. read more

Great food. Spectacular service. To be honest I didn't have super high expectations but I was extremely surprised. It's a small space with some limited outside seating. The salsa is served warm and is different from what you typically get but it's delicious. We tried the enchiladas, quesadilla, chimichangas, tacos and even the steak and everything was very tasty. My absolute favorite part of the experience was our server though. She fussed over all of us like a sweet little mother and I loved it. This place is a definite do over!! read more

The food is fine. The service is indifferent, at best. The last time my husband and I went there, I accidentally left an expensive sweater hanging on the back of my chair. I realized it when we were about a mile down the road heading home, so I immediately turned around and went back to get it. I stopped at the curb (I was driving) and sent my husband in to get it. He came back and said that the staff hadn't found any missing sweater after we left. I didn't think that was possible in the five minutes it had taken us to drive back, so I parked the car and went in to look myself. Sure enough, there was my sweater on the last table, closest to the kitchen, which the wait staff seems to use as a work/paperwork area. I grabbed it off the table and showed it to the staff and they were like, "Wow! How did that get there?" Needless to say, we walked out and are unlikely to return. read more

Had the tortilla soup. It was fresh and delicious. Servers are happy :) I asked for red pepper and they gave me both red chili flakes and hot sauce.. both great. They also offered 2 dishes that were not Mexican or Latin dishes.. so it was nice to see an "off menu" variety in a couple dishes. Salmon creole and an Alfredo dish. Didn't try it but looked like would be good. read more

Delicious food all the way around! LOVE this restaurant. On a couple of occasions, we've ordered large quantities of fajitas for pick-up to have at a couple of parties at home. Everyone raved about the food! Jose is wonderful to work with, and we will continue to enjoy Margarita's Grill! read more

The foods pretty good. The people were very friendly tho. Chicken was cooked nice but the beans were kinda mid. Calm meal

I ordered take out I had never been here before and usually have gone into annandale or Arlington or falls church for my Salvadoran food cravings fix. The pupusas were fresh and nicely packaged not overly greasy with really good cabbage slaw/"curtido" to go with it. The lady that helped me was very nice and attentive. I definitely want to stop by again and eat there for dinner. Definitely recommend. I want to try their soups and yucca con chicharon next! read more

We ordered take out and we were unimpressed with the quality and quantity for the price. We ordered the steak fajitas, a burrito, and the queso. The tortilla's are super think and everything lacked seasoning. We might go back and try dining in to give it another chance. read more

We gave the employee a 15% tip after our meal, we left to see a notification from the bank that 20% was used. Make sure check your bank statement at this restaurant . read more

I usually go to this shopping center often for the NTB (previously Merchant's Tire) and H-Mart but I never noticed this restaurant before! We were recommended this place by a friend so we all went here for a group dinner right before everyone had to start sheltering in place. The service is really nice and attentive. I got some pupusas as an appetizer and the steak fajitas as my entree. Both were really delicious! read more

This place has excellent food! Love their salsa! Some of the best I have ever had. They are now serving margaritas and the one I had was excellent! Highly recommend getting one on the rocks! Everyone in our party of five enjoyed their food and we had exceptional service! Will be returning when I am in the area! read more

Consistently good food. Have only ordered takeout, but we are always pleased with our food. Our go to for Mexican food. Best in Burke.

Great service good food. Lots of flavor. Place get's busy at lunch on weekdays. The ambiance is good but we did sit outside which was relaxing. read more

The pork and cheese pupusas were delicious and they make great margaritas to go with it! Service was quick and friendly. And all the food was delicious. I enjoyed the pupusas with a side of yucca fries that were nice and fluffy. Great local spot with delicious food! read more

Love Margaritas. The carne asada is perfection. The shrimp and salmon and chicken dishes are great. The pupusas are delicious. I've yet to have a dish here that was bad. read more

Margarita grill is amazing.. it's a hidden gem in Burke located in the same center as Hmart.... It's kinda funny that its located directly across the lot from a Tacohell lol First off I want to say that the staff here are super friendly and give awesome recommendations. Happy hour specials from 3-7 are pretty good also... cant beat $6 margs and app specials The food is legit !!! The Sopa De Res was delicious !! It was rich and flavorful filled with tender short rib meat, carrots, yucca, cabbage and other veggies ... the broth itself was amazing ... I can literally just order the soup broth and be very happy. The Tipico Vegetariano was a huge plate filled with deliciousness perfect for a vegetarian... the pupusa was yummy and so was the homemade slaw that came with it, the beans, corn tamale and yucca were also amazing.. Next time I come here I'm definitely ordering the Parrillada Rio Grande looked and smelled amazing ..... I kept on eye balling from across the room when a table of 4 ordered it and was like damn that looks fuking delicious !!! It was a huge sizzling plate filled with different meats and smelled so damn amazing Cant wait till I go back read more

We were in the mood for some good Mexican, and after some brief research we choose this place. Tons of great reviews, and the food look delicious. So starting with the papusas, they were so tasty and flavorful, would high recommend. The fried plantain was a little bit of a disappointment-they didn't seemed cooked through and were not that sweet. The rest of the meal made up for it. The carne asada was super tender and flavorful. The grilled chicken was a a pretty good salad. And my son loved his little quesadilla. Would definitely go back here. read more
