How this place is under 4 stars on Yelp is beyond me; I guess people just love to complain. Margaritas gives 5 star food, service & margaritas every time I visit, and I've been coming for years. Thank you, Maci, for another much needed Margaritas fix today. See you again soon! :)
Service - 5 stars Ambiance - 3.5 Food- 5 stars I give the food and service here 5 stars easily. The ambiance would be 3.5 only because parking is limited and it was really chilly. The restaurant is open air which would be beautiful on a sunny day, but since our weather has been anything but consistent these past few months, you'll never know what you're going to get. The waitresses here were so friendly and so efficient. We waited less than 15 minutes for anything we ordered and the margaritas were delicious. I ordered the Pineapple Margarita at first and thought it was super tasty and refreshing. Then, I decided to get the Jalapeño Margarita because why would I not? Lol I ordered the Birria Tacos which were perfect because I was served two chicken tacos with consome and that filled me up quickly! I am not familiar with too many spots on the island s that serve good Birria tacos except one. However the ones served here are yummy! I would recommend ordering them.
Upgrading to 3 stars. No parking. Seated fast. Polite staff but not on it like a good restaurant. Food and drinks are tasty. Little pricey.
Went for lunch right when they opened. Had 1 gal working the entire front and 1 guy working the kitchen. About an hour in, saw another lady helping in the kitchen. The restaurant filled up quickly! The workers were awesome! Calm, cool, and collected. Ordered the side salsa $4 and guacamole with chips $10. Omg the guacamole was so good that I ordered another one to take home. The chips were perfect for them - they were thick, not the kind you can buy from the store. The salsa, however, we did not care for. For lunch, we had the fish taco ($9) and pork belly taco ($9) (because I really wanted to try the pineapple salsa) with the add on rice and beans ($5). Tacos were simple but delish. Beans were no biggie and rice was sweet with a hint of spice on top and hint of ketchup in the sauce. I wouldn't do the add on again. Chicken burrito with green sauce (to make it less spicy) was ok.
This place is so cute! We came close to closing but they were very accommodating of our larger group. We only came for the drinks and the flights were perfect so we could get a taste of everything. The passionfruit marg was the best.
I've been eating more Mexican food as of late as I love birria tacos. We were here today for happy hour. Happy hour is daily from 3-6pm. They only gave us the happy hour menu, so I'm not sure if they serve off the regular menu during those hours. We got the horchata $5, queso & chips $13 with shredded beef $3, birria tacos $18 and burrito $16 with chipotle chicken $4. The horchata was excellent. It was creamy and refreshing with strong hints of vanilla and cinnamon. The queso & chips with shredded beef was also yummy. The tortilla chips were fresh and made in house. Both entrees were a let down. The birria tacos even with the consommé were flavorless. It was just salty. The burrito was filled mostly with rice, with a little chicken and beans. It also didn't have much flavor. My husband dipped it into the queso and then it was great. I do like the setup of this restaurant. They have an open glass window that you can look into the kitchen. It's also open air, so you get a nice breeze.
I miss the old Margaritas. The menu now looks like a Happy Hour menu and the food options are so minimal, it might as well be. They advertise 10$ all day every day, so there isn't even an option to come here, for say, Happy Hour anyway. I came here with a friend and I will say the service was excellent. We were able to order pretty quickly because the restaurant that was once bustling was dead. Only 1 other table when we were there at around 7p. We both ordered burritos, hers chicken and mine steak. Her chicken burrito was mostly cheese but my burrito made me sick. It was so greasy and the peppers had seen better days. It was such an unsatisfying meal. Like I said, the restaurant was empty so the atmosphere felt kind of sad--just lingering memories of what this place used to be. Again, service was excellent, but now the menu is SO minimal, and the margaritas are not even worth a visit.
Dinner in Honolulu, Hawaii... Searching our Yelp apps for a place we haven't visited yet, we agreed upon Margaritas! Located on the ground level of the 808 Center (corner of Sheridan and Rycroft Streets), this outdoor venue has been around for a while. Without a reservation, we easily got a table near the entrance. Service was friendly and efficient. I ordered 3 tacos: shrimp, shredded beef, and Portobello tempura. All were delicious! We also shared the squash and zucchini quesadillas... yummy! The Esquite with thick, crunchy tortilla chips was a bit spicy for me. Overall, it was a good experience, even though I'm not a fan of outdoor dining. Note: metered street parking is free after 6:30pm.
Nothing salty about this place... Margaritas the little spot that sits prominently on the corner of Sheridan and Rycroft in the 808 Center with a lime in their brightly lit sign that does it's best to shield itself from the busy traffic flowing by has been a spot that I've wanted to check out and Nadine C who knows the spot was right on it. After quite an adventurous day I was ready for some dinner and as I arrived first it gave me the chance to check out their menu since we missed happy hour and though that I missed the chance to graze over their options. Though their menu are sectioned with appetizer, tacos and entrees it all was well priced considering the location at $25 being their highest (with the exception of add ons) I was excited to try a couple of items. Since I grabbed the table I chose a larger four seat since closer to the door and the staff was very nice to start us off with water and time to decide as well, I ordered Esquite a roasted corn dip which was delicious though wasn't as creamy and didn't have the kick that I hoped but you can always add more but it came with house made chips that came in a cute fry basket was really good but the chip was way too thick though very nice and had a great crunch it felt like my tooth was working overtime on each bite. Mexican Salad it had all the items that I do like and decided to try something light and added shredded beef and with the standard lettuce, onions, bell peppers, cherry tomatoes and jicama it all was chopped in chunks and I may be just nitpicking it didn't feel like a Mexican salad at all with their agave lemon vinaigrette it was quite boring as I picked at it I was disappointed. Nadine ordered tacos and quesadilla with squash and zucchini to share and at $12 is a good price but it was just cheese so an additional $3 for the veggies is a price hike that majority of the menu will be which does get you at the end but the vibe of this place is very vibrant and festive along with the wonderful staff and can see why many come here to hang out and have fun as it is the place to do so and now I'm curious of what their happy hour has to offer. Thank you!
The open air atmosphere is pleasant and offers a fun, yet relaxed ambiance that pairs well with what I would call the best margaritas on island. My personal favorite is the jalapeño margarita made with infused tequila. It's spicy and savory and totally hits the spot. The food is also great. The chips are super crispy so you don't have to worry about breaking them when you dip a big scoop of salsa or guacamole. The service is friendly, professional and efficient. The enchilada plate was not a traditional type enchilada , but it was extremely good. It's light, flavorful and the perfect portion to fill you up. I always leave satisfied. Highly recommend for a night out with a partner or friends. As the name states , the margaritas are the real highlight here!
Good food and chill vibes. My friends and I ate here for Cinco de Mayo and had so much fun. The chilli wings were cooked perfectly. The shrimp were good as well the only bad thing was the beans and rice.
Another great drink and meal here during Happy Hour. Great service and nice atmosphere. Recommend trying Margaritas!!
I really wanted to like this place especially since I came here for taco Tuesday & it wasn't very busy. They have a good special (equivalent to HH deals). Their taco trio meat was dry- like each type of protein was dry & oily at the same time? I really wanted to like it, but the meat was dry. The ceviche tostado was soooo good, but was very wet, the plate already had some of the juice on it, but as soon as i picked it up it was running off my hand & tostada on the plate. All the food we ordered tasted as if it was double fried, or maybe the oil wasn't strained out as well. Something I did love was the margaritas- so so so good! Their lilikoi & kalamansi was our favorite. Service was okay- never really checked on us after giving us our food. Mostly street parking but there is a small lot within the building.

We just tried this spot and we loved it!! I do wish I knew they could have turned the umbrella to block the sun because we sat outside and it got HOT at 2:30 pm. My boyfriend loved their margarita! I tasted it and I thought it was strong but I never drink so you can take that with a grain of salt We ordered the appetizer chips, guacamole and salsa and ate it all. The guacamole needed a little more salt but it was balanced out by the chips and salsa. We also ordered the steak tacos, which were very good. Very juicy and full of flavor. The birria tacos, which were very good, came with dipping sauce and pickled veggies on the side. The steak quesadilla was probably my favorite, with the perfect amount of cheese and steak, plus salsa and sour cream to dip. read more

This food reminds me of the Mexican food back home in Southern CA! I 100% recommend this place to anyone who wants really great food, the most amazing margaritas you will ever have in your life, and a great vibe with pretty natural decor. I have tried most every taco and they have been really good. I especially like the vegetarian option (I am not even vegetarian). The margaritas are specific to Hawaii so you still have a unique chance to taste Pink Guava margaritas or Lilikoi margaritas. The servers are very nice and have been very welcoming to my club, friends, and also just a night out with a few people. Doesn't matter the size of the party they all are great! read more
My fave place to get margaritas cuz of all the fun flavors! So far I've tried Lilikoi, guava, dragonfruit, Li-hing, a spicy one, & a mezcal one, and they're all fire. My fave foods were the birria tacos--the chipotle chicken was the best! & the chicken wings cuz the chili lime sauce was so yummy :) The vibe here is so fun, and I love the original artwork they have displayed throughout the restaurant. The staff is always really friendly and attentive!! Highly recommend!! read more

Finally stepped into this restaurant after passing by for about 8 years. My husband was craving for guacamole and chips so we were scrolling thru yelp and found Margaritas. The pictures of the Nachos and the Mexican Salad actually called us lol. We walked in with our furbaby and was able to sit at the outer tables. We ordered the Mexican Salad with chicken, House Nachos with sour cream, guac, and jalapeños (their jalapeños was spicy! but oh so good), and 1 Baja Fish Taco. Service was good. Very friendly staff all around. We would go back to try other items. read more

Very accommodating, staff was fantastic, prices are decent (especially for Honolulu area) and the food may not be great but it's good. We started with a variety of apps. Highly recommend the Queso and Chile lime chicken wings. The steak tacos are mediocre and if you know what a good birria should taste like, don't order one here. You'll be disappointed! Someone in our group ordered the Portobello mushroom taco and said they would recommend it so maybe go off the beaten path with your entre. We also tried the Margaritas flight... None of us were fans of the pineapple habanero. The strawberry was topical but great. The coconut limeade, amazing. Overall, I would definitely return as the service was great and I could fill up on just apps alone. read more

Four stars because we had so much fun celebrating my friends birthday. There was a pre-party at the hotel prior to arriving so we were rambunctious!! We were having fun and making noise. We sat at the outdoor area near the bar. I felt bad for the other patrons but after my Lilikoi Margarita I lost all concern. The drinks just kept coming and the wait staff were so good at handling a few of my wild friends. They said they enjoyed watching us have fun which we did. It was the perfect place to get a little loud and crazy over drinks. Some of us were seeing each other after several years so it was a great spot for a mini reunion of 10 ladies. We loved the drinks we all had different margaritas. I could only speak for the Lilikoi Margarita which was delicious. Next time I would like to try the Jalapeño Margarita. I like it spicy and that said de delicious. Come to think of it I wonder if they can make a Mango Jalapeño Margarita. As for the food it's tapas style so don't expect large portions. Hence the title on the menu is tapas. I was hungry when I got here so I'm going to say I enjoyed it all. We had the chicken wings, nachos, pork quesadillas, chicken quesadillas all to share. The tacos are two tacos. You can share it but it's enough for one person if that's all your eating with another app you can share with a friend. Since there were many of us we shared everything. I forgot we also had beef and chicken Birria tacos which I thought were delicious. I like to pick so I would come back for the nachos, chicken wings and try a different taco. I sat facing the street and there are low cables in that intersection. It was night time and there was traffic not too much as if it were the Main Street. I felt like I was in Mexico, from what I remember being in Mexico. Or maybe it was because we were yelling Woo Hoo from time to time having fun it reminded me of being in Tijuana when I was in college. Just minus the tequila bombs and shaking of your head. LOL. Was having too much fun to remember to take more pics! LOL so only nachos pics!Birria Tacos read more

Just moved to the area and was looking for Mexican food. Found this place around the corner . Staff, food, drinks and happy hour was perfect. Was nice sitting outside, very relaxing ! Will be back.. glad we found a spot we can come to on a regular. read more
Mexican sounds good after all of the Asian and Hawaiian food the past couple of weeks now. It's another small spot. The current wait is 30-40 minutes right now. How coincidental. We were in the same building last night for dinner for Sichuan Chinese. This building has a lot of good food options to pick from here. Parked on the street behind the building. Put in our name. We were so hungry. read more

Arrived around 7pm on Sunday night and place was practically empty. Seated at the long community table and was greeted by friendly waitress. Started off with the dragonfruit margarita which was excellent. Appetizers we had the nacho with guacamole and cheese quesadillas. The nacho presentation was nice but alerted another server that the nacho was old and overly done to a crisp. Offered him a chip to try himself and he did agree that the chip was too crunchy and hard. He left for a minute and returned to apologize and said that all the chips were like that. How hard is it to make news ones? Is that how you treat your guest? It was $14.00 which was a rip- off! I'm from CA where nachos are free in every Mexican Restaurants and tasted better! Quesadilla was good but only one piece cut into 4 quarters. Main course was Elote and the beef taco. Requested tortilla for elote because the chips were hard and overcooked. Taco was very flavorful but very small. Bill came to $84 including a 20% tip. Nothing feels worst than having a bad meal! Not only is it a waste of money but more importantly, a waste of time. I don't complain much like I used too, I just won't ever come back! read more
We went for cinco de mayo and the wait was almost three hours but we Where able to sit outside and get drinks. The staff was very nice . I do wish they had done last call for happy hour. We were about to give up when it was time to be seated. The food was actually the best Mexican I have had on island so far. The chicken quesadilla had excellent flavor. The corn was very cheesy and delicious I put it in my burrito. I liked the mango margarita the best out of the 4 we tried. Overall I would go again. read more

Service was great. Food was great. if you're ever in Honolulu Hawaii, I recommend trying Margarita's. Loaded nachos were ordered for the table we did not add a meat topping. They were tasty. The chips for crispy the toppings weren't layered they were draped across the top which actually worked out well for us. Some people might wish they had more toppings. I ordered the poblano pepper it was cooked to perfection. The melted queso inside stretched for days. I was also fortunate enough to try the shrimp tacos, which were delicious. The menu is accessible through a QR code, they also still have the option to hold menus in hand read more

The dishes were bursting with taste. From the sizzling fajitas to the mouthwatering churros, every bite was a true explosion of flavors. The ingredients were fresh, and each dish was beautifully presented. The drink selection was impressive as well. They had a wide variety of margaritas. Classic with unique twist. The friendly staff, incredible food, and vibrant ambiance all contributed to a truly memorable dining experience. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking to indulge in delicious Mexican cuisine and have a great time. You won't be disappointed! Dishes recommended: -shrimp and steak fajitas -chili lime chicken wings -crispy Carnitas -lilikoi margarita read more

Everything from the moment you walk in is perfect. The host was not overwhelmed one bit with all the people crowding around. The food was yummy. The chop salad was the best I've had in a long time. Only downfall the shrimp tostada could have a little more shrimp but the taste was very good. Next time I'm in Hawaii I will be back. read more
