The food we got here was fantastic!! So flavorful! It came out hot and delicious. We both got items with pollo asado and I don't think I've ever had such delicious chicken. Mine was on top of a cheese stuffed poblano pepper, which was very mild. They substituted more salad for the rice. The black beans were seasoned just right as well. It came with three piping hot tortillas. The only things that might have decreased their rating a bit: it was pretty warm in there (they had ceiling fans going, but the a/c could've been set cooler, no complimentary chips/salsa like some places, and by the time we left there was one server doing everything except cooking--taking and delivering orders, bartending, refilling waters, taking payments, etc. She was working hard and doing a decent job while staying friendly, but they could've used another couple of people in there. I wouldn't hesitate to eat there when we're in town again sometime. read more

Small spot in downtown Mesa! I stopped in while in the area for happy hour. They don't have a designated happy hour menu (boo), but they did have a margarita promotion, and it was actually really tasty. It took about 20 minutes for our food to come out, but given how small the restaurant is, I'm guessing the kitchen is tiny too. But the food, once it arrived, was tasty. Our server was so kind and attentive, even though he was clearly busy. I don't remember his name, but he mentioned he was from Colombia. Super sweet guy and really made our experience better. Overall, this restaurant wasn't anything to write home about, but the food and drinks were solid. Probably wouldn't rush back, but not a bad spot if you're in the area. read more

Margaritas Mexican Grille - Mexican Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Bittersweet review. The good: hands down some of the best Mexican food, chips, and salsa in the area--arguably in all of Phoenix. The bad: closing at 7:00 PM!!!!!!!It's hard to support a Mexican restaurant that shuts its doors right when a lot of people are deciding where to have dinner. The food deserves five stars, but the hours are incredibly disappointing. I really hope management reconsiders because this place has the potential to be a true go-to spot. Until then, it almost feels like they might as well close until the snowbirds come back. 2 Stars for great food and 3 missing stars for the 7p hard close during the off-season c read more

Margaritas Mexican Grille - Mexican Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Drove our Adult son and his friend to a show at The Nile Theater and stopped in at Margaritas's Covina Grille. Lised took care of us. Immediately greeted us and told us it qas open seating and we could pick anywhere we liked and she would be right with us. She brought iced water right away and menus. The place is intimate and decorate with lots of Original Art Work by a local artist. Colorful, Fun and very clean. We ordered the Rolled Potato tacos. 5 come with an order and topped with cheese, sour cream, guacamole and jalapeño's. We also had their delicious chips and salsa. Very tasty salsa and both the chips and salsa tasted homemade and extremely fresh. They also had a handful of beers on tap, so we ordered a Pacifico with our meal. Lised was great, super attentive, personable and so friendly. Moderately priced and the food was delicious. Looking forward to trying them again real soon. read more

Victoria was super kind and fast with our phone order. She made sure that what we ordered had what we wanted. First time ordering food and I would 1000% recommend this place.

Margaritas Mexican Grille - I don't know what is in this photo. Oatmeal?! - Mexican Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

We were in the area for a show and were craving margarita's and some delish tacos. When we walked in there were only a few empty tables and were told to grab one. We looked at the menu and waited.....watched a couple next to us leave......and we waited. I finally grabbed on of the waitresses and asked if there was going to be any service. Her response was we are to busy and I need to go to the patio to serve them out there. That was our que to exit and made our way to the door. We found a place close by that had great service! When we are back in the area, we will not go back here. read more

Normally our goto for great Mexican food and really good margaritas, went in today around 2pm only customers in the place, unfortunately the AC didn't seem to be working but fans were going so we're fine. Food was great as always and drinks too. What made it disappointing was service. Our waiter\bartender was more interested in watching the UFC fight on the tv along with his friend or other employee sitting at the bar (white t shirt). A family came and seated themselves and a new waitress showed up but they ended up leaving after seemingly being ignored. Normally we've always had great service and extremely friendly service so today was surprising and we are pretty much several times a month regulars. One disappointing aspect was the employee sitting at the bar appeared to be making comments about my partner who had his head wrapped in post surgery bandages after having brain surgery this week . Yes we will continue to go back as we do enjoy the food and usually good service and we always recommend it to friends and usually bring others with us. Even as we left it seemed all employees were crowded around the bar watching the fight, maybe no owner or manager around today. read more

A vast selection of appetizers like nachos, papas frito, stuffed quesadillas, camarones, toritos and more. In their Platos de Mi Abuela section, their extensive food does justice to the Mexican Cuisine with the likes of Chile Relleno de Parilla, Fajitas, Chile Verde, or Enchilada de Camaron, maybe even just their rice, Refried Beans, Borracho Beans, or Black Beans. Yet my fave stands out not just for simplicity, but an incredible, jaw dropping and mouthwatering carne asada soft tacos! Although their 'La Casa' margarita may be slightly watered, the 'El Original' is not - and very good. We've had the opportunity to visit Margaritas a few times, and it never lets us down. This place with its inconspicuous, run-down look, good old-fashioned bar and terrific misted patio seating is a great place for an eat stop in downtown Mesa. Great place for a Margarita, ice cold beer and, of course, some tacos. read more

We had a quick dinner here and had to get to the theater... I had a tasty Baja Fish Taco and she had Chile Relleno. The black beans and rice were very good. The Guacamole was zesty and topped with some pico. The service was friendly and quick read more

You real life stepping into a little slice of rocky point or Cabo when you come in vibe is chill music is Hispanic and colors are vibrant. I had been here once before and shared a carne asada/grilled shrimp burrito with a friend and it was so good I told my man we came a different time and I'll say it slapped just as hard. So fresh so yummy and like not so heavy as chain Mexican spots. My man got a margarita and he really like it and margs are his go to drink so you're gonna get a good one here! Idk what people are talking about flavor and bugs it's super clean here it's not fancy but it's clean for sure. Everything is so fresh for example the salsa they brought me was warm like they just blended it for me and made it fresh! read more

I'll start with the good--I've been here before and ordered the mango margarita and shrimp tacos. Both were good. It's colorful with colorful artwork and a nice looking bar. The not so good: every time I have been here, the service has not been good. In fact, one time I stood there waiting to be seated for five minutes, even though there was nobody else in the restaurant and the server kept walking by me without saying a word--I ended up leaving and walking down the street to another restaurant. Today we were seated right away, but after we got our food, he didn't come back once to see if we needed anything--which I did. He never came back so I never got the salt I needed. My friend and I both got the special of the day, the rolled tacos. She got the chicken and I got the beef and then we shared. We both thought the chicken was okay, but neither of us likes the beef rolled tacos. The ends of the rolled tacos were super dry and chewy with no meat in them, so my friend had a little pile of "taquito ends" on her plate. Chips with a cup of salsa is $7.00. They honestly have a fantastic margarita, and I have liked the shrimp tacos, so if somebody else wanted to come here I would most likely tag along. But I'm not likely to ever choose it on my own. read more

I've been DYING to try this place because I go to 12 West often. This place is next door and it looks so good. I thought for sure I could treat my roommate to dinner on a Saturday night before Mother's Day. She is NOT a mom but she's 74 and has taken such amazing care of me and she loves Mexican food so I wanted to treat her. I made a reservation through their WEBSITE. I thought to invite my good friend who IS a mom, so I called to ask if we could change the reservations from 2 to 3 people. Believe me, I know this is a tall order the night before Mother's Day but their website was so available for reservations I thought I hit the jackpot and it wouldn't be an issue. Everytime I go past the restaurant it isn't busy anyways.... When I called, a young and gentleman answered.... However he was super confused about my reservation. Apparently the restaurant was booked for a wedding. I asked if I could speak to the manager because this young man clearly had no idea why there would be reservations offered through their website when the restaurant was closed. He 'accidentally' hung up on me once. I called back... asked to speak to the manager. The manager got on the phone. Super unfriendly. I expressed my disappointment and he didn't seem to care, insisted the notice about the wedding was on the website and hung up on me before I could finish what I was saying..... super disappointing. Nowhere on the website did it mention the restaurant was closed. I even pulled it up and I checked again and didn't see anything about a closure. . The manager was incredibly rude and the young gentleman who answered the phone should not be in customer service. 0/10 will never ever try this place. I suggest you look elsewhere in Mesa for quality service and food because there are so many wonderful family owned businesses in the area. read more

The food we had was great. Three of us had the taco salad and one had the cheese enchiladas. We all were very happy with our choices and portions. Our waitress was darling and so sweet. We ate inside but the outside patio looked good too. I would recommend this place. Oh, and they have good margaritas too! read more

We have come here off and on for many years and survived many crew changes, menu changes, and even owners. I'm so glad we still visit (more than we should)! We love so many things they offer. our fav currently is the burrito platter, but enchilada style and the chefs have ALWAYS accommodated our preferences for deep fried etc! They have our order down to perfection. We won't go anywhere else for our flavorful dish and the family/friends/staff who serve us here. Thank you for so very many years of care and wonderful food. Always a nice visit! Also, Victoria....that waitress NEVER has a bad day! EVER! She is the most pleasant I have ever encountered. We just love her, and a few others there! Be kind. They try very hard to get your order the way you like it. Be specific if you want a 'special' order...rather than quick to complain or want a return. They will let you know up front and do their best to please you. read more

So some co-works and I stop here last night (Friday) after our schools graduation. The service was slow, however, the waitress did apologize for the long wait and explained why (she was the only waitress working) we ordered and our drinks came. The margaritas are excellent and well liquored. The food was excellent, my only concern was, no salsa was offered at all. We sat outside which made it nice. I'll be coming back as it's only 15 minutes from work. read more

Idk. There was just something missing here to give it the full stars. The food was good. We were not mad about the prices at all. My partner loved the daily special limoncello margarita, served in a big glass. Worth its money for sure. We both liked our meals and it was flavorful. I think it might have been the service. There was maybe a total of like 6 people in the whole place and we just saw him the three times of placing our order, getting our food and check. No other real time coming over to check on us, we had to ask for the check too. We'd probably come again to try the different food there though read more

The food was the best Mexican food I've had in the 18 years I've lived in Arizona! And it was my first time there. Great service too!

Margaritas is a hit or miss depends on servers and bartenders. Went for a girls lunch the food was ok drinks were good service was good but slow we were a party of 6 and maybe 5 others in restaurant. Went back a few weeks later with my husband sat at the bar during dinner.Bartender personality was wonderful had 3 drinks they were all horrible one I couldn't even drink. Food was not good infact we waited forever for my food my husband already had his when the bartender noticed the server gave my food to someone else, I ordered rolled tacos and she ordered shrimp couldn't understand how the other person didn't realize the mistake. Of course restaurant they apologized but I still had to wait for my order to be remade and no compensation was made. It's right on main so if your drinks are not good you can walk 5 feet into another bar. read more

Beware of fraudulent activities! My waitress presented me with the bill which I signed and tipped on only for me to realize she never returned my credit card. It took her a good minute to give it back to me and when I looked at my credit card statement a few days later I saw that she had rung my card a second time as a new bill/transaction. I called the restaurant to let them know that there was a mistake made. I was told that the owners would be reaching out and so far radio silence and I've tried calling the restaurant and I can't get a hold of them. I would avoid this place. read more

Please put some vegetarian on your menu. There is not a single entree, salad, taco or burrito that is vegetarian, I asked my waiter if you had anything without meat and he said "sorry, no" really? If everything is made fresh can't you leave the meat off?? I told him to ask the chef if he could make the relleno de pollo without the pollo. Of course he could and it was delicious. I got charged the full amount which isn't right but the point is please put some vegetarian choices ON the menu! The margaritas were extremely large, too sweet and didn't taste like they had much tequila in them all. Nice downtown location and good live music. read more

I cant say i was too impressed by the margaritas we had. We honestly went in there to have a few drinks since we werent driving and wanted to enjoy our saturday afternoon. The girl attending the bar wasnt very friendly, we found ourselves saying "thank you" for any request we had & dead silence from her in return. She did make our drinks right away since we sat at the empty bar, but it wasnt until 10 minutes later that she asked if we wanted chips & salsa for $1 Ive never heard of paying for chips & salas, charge or no charge we didnt want chips anyways. Ill probably give it another chance since its not too far from my house but as far as a first impression, it wasnt great. read more
