We are from SoCal so understand where this review is coming from. We know good Mexican food! Short Version Setting: Lunch on a Saturday Price: Fair for the serving size Food: Really freaking good! Service: Perfectly adequate. Long Version: My wife and I came into the restaurant around lunchtime on a Saturday. They were plenty of people sitting outside, but not many sitting inside. They definitely are not scrimping any money on the air conditioning as it was nice and cool inside. The decor is colorful and tasteful. My wife and I are not super big on decorations from Dia de los Muertos; however, there wasn't too much of that. The Table salsa was really good and a little bit spicy. We ordered a large guacamole and, it was really good! Again, remember that we are from Southern California and we don't judge that one lightly. My wife ordered the grilled chicken nachos and made it supreme. It tasted fresh and well flavored. I ordered a Burrito A La Pina and it tasted really awesome. The pineapples were cooked perfectly and mixed very well with the chorizo and chicken inside. Their beans and rice were very good. The weight staff came at appropriate intervals. I never had an empty glass of water, which is a big deal for me, and we didn't get too much intrusive checking in. Overall, I do not understand the other reviews saying that this place is overpriced, or that the portions are too small based on the price. The portions are very appropriate given where we are, how much the rent probably is, and inflation. The booth seating was comfy while supportive. When we ordered guacamole, we didn't have to ask for more chips. We were told they would be brought out and we got a fresh bowl within two minutes. Also, when our food was brought out, the wait staff accidentally knocked my wife's fork off the napkin and under the plate. We didn't have to say anything. She immediately apologized and replaced it. Also, the food was really good. If you like good Mexican food and don't want to drive all the way to the other end of Monroe to get it, you should come here! We really liked it! read more

Bad experience all-way around. First impressions - walked in, and the floor was sticky. The server brought chips and salsa to the table while we decided. Salsa was mild and tasty, I felt. We ordered margaritas and they had a really foul taste to them. I am not sure if was the quality of the tequila, or what, but we were not able to drink them. They came out so fast, I would not be surprised if they were leftover fro the day before. No salt on the rim, just some silly straw in the middle. The food was so-so. The burrito I had was barely edible. Other locations for this chain are much better! We will unliklely return, sorry. read more

From the moment we walked it, the decor was so inviting and we were welcomed and seated immediately! They have a huge drink and food menu, plenty of pictures too. We never had to ask for refills or chips, service was prompt and excellent. The steak tacos were super tasty, chicken verde enchiladas were perfect and the pizza birria was gigantic and so full of flavor ! The prices were fair and the house margarita was delicious! Ps- very handicap accessible here which is always a plus. read more

My husband and I have Mexican food for lunch almost every Saturday. We're trying out some new places and came across Margaritas. Salsa and chips are big on our list, and we were satisfied with their salsa. It had good flavor, some restaurants put tomato sauce in a bowl and call it salsa, but this was good. The chips were served warm too. I ordered the Quesa Birria and it was very good, it came with chopped onion and cilantro, a hot "salsa" and dipping consommé. I would recommend trying this place. It has beautiful decor and looks clean. Food, service and ambiance were great. read more

Was very excited to try this place because I mean who doesn't love Mexican food. Walk in and get greeted and seated immediately. The place was clean and very well decorated. Was a bit taken aback that the parking lot was full but place was practically empty. All those folks must have been next door at the gym. Anyways our waitress came over immediately and introduced herself but music was so loud could barely hear her. I ordered the Tulum fajitas with veggies, salad and Mexican rice. Also ordered the Mexican street corn as an app. The street corn was absolutely delish but the fajitas fell flat for me. The way it was described I expected way more of a flavor punch. It was chicken, pineapples, bacon, mushrooms, onions and cheese. First thing wrong was they didn't come out sizzling. They were hot but when u think fajitas u expect to see and hear that familiar hiss of heat. And my sides came out on the extremely hot plate which would be fine but for the life of me I can't understand why u would put a salad on a hot from the oven plate. Who wants warm/hot salad? So needless to say that was inedible for me. Would I go back? Yes but I would try something different t. I saw they have birria pizza on the menu and if you know, birria anything has become all the rage lately. read more

We ordered take out dinner for 2 people in May 2026. The food was acceptable. In order for the restaurant and staff to improve, I believe it is necessary to be honest. One of the orders was fajitas. Either the kitchen staff that prepared the food or the cashier/server that retrieved the " bag " from the kitchen forgot the tortillas. After reading many restaurant reviews here on yelp, this seems to be a common problem. We tipped the cashier 16 percent eventhough it was a take out order. I find visiting restaurants post pandemic to be a disappointing experience. Average to poor food and poor service. This combined with a higher price tag will make dining out a fond memory. read more

When we arrived at 6pm, the place seemed a little discombobulated. No one was at the front to greet customers. There was a gentleman in the back/kitchen area who we made eye contact with and he seemed to be alerting others to our presence. Once seated our orders were placed and our waiter was friendly. The food was amazing! Huge portions and everything tasted freshly made. My only complaint would be the guacamole for the table. I ordered the small/one avocado portion. I believe we were brought the two avocado portion because I was charged $12. It was delicious, but more than I was expecting to pay. Overall, some kinks need to be worked out with number of servers but still a great restaurant. read more

Fast, friendly service from Xiomara. Food was fresh and tasty. Tamales and enchiladas were well made and delicious.

$35 dollars Uber eats for chicken and shrimp fajitas. The container was half full with a few pieces of shrimp. It was very bland. Even the salsa was bland. They bring shame to the margaritas name. And to top it all off I didn't get any tortillas You should really try somewhere else for Mexican. This ain't it. read more

Margaritas Mexican Restaurant - THIS MUCH FOR 26.99?!?!!? Chicken and find the shrimp fajitas - Mexican Near Me - Matthews, North Carolina

This particular location is absolutely trash. Drive 10 minutes further to Rea Farms. For the Business owner who needs to check in on the happenings. The bartender has a terrible attitude. She didn't want to make my Mamacita Margarita because it would take too long to make the mix?? Spicy Margarita can't be made with top shelf margarita bc it's a premade? They kept pushing for us to get something out of the mixer machines. Ordered a guac spicy and it was bland, asked for lemon, lime and salt. No problem. I can fix a bland guac.... Could have stayed home and saved $56 for 2 margaritas and guac ‍. 9:14 pm AFTER paying our bill, we sat on the patio to have our margaritas. Guests came in to eat dinner, they were turned away. 9:20 again guests turned away. Check the cameras. April 2, 2024. Patio is closed due to manager policy because 4 people ran out this month on the check. read more

Have been to this location 2 times now and both times it was a good experience. We met other couples for dinner and it was a Comfortable atmosphere. No loud music and we were not rushed for the table. Ordered a pitcher of margaritas and it was delicious. There is a lot to chose from on the menu. The food was plentiful for the price and we enjoyed our meals both times. We will definitely have this restaurant on our list of place to go. read more

Food was good. I had the cheesesteak tacos and my wife had the enchiladas. Steak was cooked nicely and it had a good amount of cheese. The onions had a nice flavor. My wife had 3 chicken enchiladas with 3 sauces. The chicken itself was unflavored but the sauces were good to cover. They used corn tortillas which she prefers. Service was good, got us in and out quickly. read more

Always a good time at any of the Margaritas restaurants in Charlotte. Love their selection of margaritas!! Food is always good and the drinks too. You have to try their margarita flights. read more

Tried this place for the first and last time tonight. Food was ok, but the service was horrible. Didn't get our order right. Didn't bring us other things we asked for, like napkins. All of our drinks were empty until I got up to ask for a refill. We had high hopes for this place but were grossly disappointed. read more

I really enjoy the food here. The restaurant is beautiful and the ambiance is great. They always have drink and food specials every day. It's conveniently located and since they are new to opening, I recognize it takes time to perfect service and operations but overall it was solid. read more

I have been to this place twice and I must say, I LOVE it. the staff has always been very welcoming and helpful. They are busy so you may have to get their attention at times, but that's understandable. I have never been a big Mexican food eater however every meal I have eaten, Ive enjoyed. There is someone I met that really stood out to me and because of this person J will be returning to Margaritas,,,, Maria. She was so helpful helping me chose what to order. She is such a gem. You can tell she enjoys what she does and she is good at it. Great place to go eat, drink and have some peace. oh and it's decorated so cute. read more

Do not go to the Matthews Location. Went for Margaritas. Everyone kept walking by and not assisting us. Moved to the bar and still no help. We walked out. SMH read more

Horrible service!!!! Felt forgotten. It took our server 15 minutes to get our drink order and appetizers. Guac app took 30 minutes to come out and 20 for our lemonades. The server never took our order. I had to get the manager to take our order after 40 minutes of waiting. Then that took 20 minutes for fried food to arrive. Food was cold and we never saw our server again. Had to get up and get the manager to get our bill. I explained the experience to the manager and she asked but how was the food. And took off 6 dollars off our 78 dollar bill. Horrible horrible. Oh I forgot we asked for plates from two different servers and never got them. In a span of another 15 minutes after we received our food. Just horrible. And it wasn't busy if that's what you thought. The server only had three tables including ours. Horrible horrible. read more

Do not waste your time or money going to Margaritas in Matthews. The food is not good and very small portions. My daughter ordered a taco salad with chicken which was about three bites. We had guacamole for a starter, it was the worse we have ever eaten. read more

Great atmosphere, great food! Waiter didn't speak great English but he got everything perfect and we had some picky people with complicated orders. Drinks were very good too! read more

I can't not make this up!!! I went into this establishment today to grab food and it was me at the bar and one other table in the entire restaurant. I sat at the bar (the only person at the bar) and it took 15 to get a hello; after I got a drink it took 20 minutes to get a menu... then I never seen any one again to even make an order. I had to walk to the area by the kitchen to tell them I was ready to check out for the drink. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS LOCATION IN MATTHEWS!!! read more

Food isn't horrible, but definitely not worth what they are charging. Food is pretty bland and service is not all that great. Seeing the parking lot and restaurant empty on a Friday night should have been a big hint. Nevertheless, the decorations of the restaurant is absolutely incredible. Overall, would not recommend. read more

This place is so awesome! The decor is bright and you can tell the owner spent a lot of money bringing the Mexican flare to this restaurant. Had the lunch fajitas and they were delicious with a good portion size. Did not try the cocktails but they looked delicious as well. Definitely give this a try! read more

I was very disappointed with the food and lack of knowledge our waitress new about the food and drinks anyway I ordered a chicken and shrimp dish with some kind of sauce I wanted spicy and our waitresses told me that this dish was spicy it was not. My food had so much sauce on it I had to scrap it off my chicken and by that time I was done. Our waitresses told us to try the guacamole salad it was good it had no flavor no taste (salt) my husband said his tacos where ok just flavorless. I would not go back nor would I recommend this place. One more thing the waitresses was a manager. And for it not to be busy service not so good. read more

If i could rate this place a zero i would. My best friend and I go and order the "tree of life", which is a basically a margarita flight of 5 mini margaritas. When brought to us it only had 4 margaritas instead of 5. We decide to just drink it and not say anything. Upon grabbing the 3rd margarita, which was blackberry flavored, we noticed the decoration blackberry had mold on it. We asked to speak with a manager just wanting a new flavor margarita to replace that one but upon telling the manager she immediately had an attitude and told us that the mold was just decoration and then told us it was just ice despite it being fuzzy and clearly mold (not ice burn). She eventually brought us a new one despite having an attitude and when drinking the new one there was hair in it. Eventually we just gave up and paid our bill and left. Just an all around terrible experience and would not recommend or go back. read more
