This place was a wonderful pit stop on the highway. It was so much better than any of the other fast food options. We were seated right away and served just as quickly once our orders were put in. I ordered the chicken taquitos and I'd order them again in a heart beat. They were so tasty and just enough to feel satisfied. The decor within this space is also wonderful, I think my favorite item is the parrot above the register! read more

Margaritas - Chicken taquitos - Mexican Near Me - Ogallala, Nebraska

As we traveled from Wyoming back toward Illinois at the end of our six-week national parks road trip, we stopped in Nebraska for our second to last overnight break before getting home. After weeks of hiking, driving, unpacking, repacking, and surviving on road snacks and caffeine, we decided to have dinner at Tres Margaritas. The restaurant itself is very cute and colorful, with lots of traditional Mexican décor and bright painted chairs that give the place a lively atmosphere. We arrived pretty early, around 5 PM, thinking it would be quiet, but the place filled up surprisingly fast. It definitely seems to be a very popular local spot. The food was actually very good for a road-trip dinner stop. We shared a large steak taco salad that was absolutely enormous and honestly could have fed two hungry hikers without any problem. It came loaded with carne asada, avocado, beans, tortilla chips, and very fresh ingredients. Definitely the highlight of the meal. I also had a margarita, while my husband ordered an Arnold Palmer, and both were good. Now, the funniest part of the evening was honestly the service. Our server, Daniel, was polite and friendly, but for reasons we never fully understood, he addressed only me during the entire dinner. Since I speak Spanish, he kept calling me "señora" and speaking directly to me while almost completely ignoring my husband's existence. Not in a rude way exactly, just... very specifically focused on me. He would take the order looking at me. Bring the food looking at me. Ask questions looking at me. Meanwhile my husband was sitting right there like some kind of invisible travel ghost. At one point my husband joked, "I guess I disappeared and nobody told me." Honestly, it became more amusing than anything else, and we spent most of dinner quietly laughing about the strange dynamic. The only slightly annoying part was that the check arrived before we were asked whether we wanted dessert, which seems to be becoming a recurring theme on this trip. Overall though, the food was fresh, satisfying, and generous, the atmosphere was lively and colorful, and it was a pleasant stop at the tail end of a very long journey. After six weeks on the road, sometimes a giant taco salad and an unintentionally hilarious dinner experience are exactly the kind of memories that stick with you. read more

Didn't get water for quite a long time after being seated was even given chips and salsa but the chips were dry and still barely got water when we asked for it. Also my sopapias had chocolate on them when I didn't ask for that either and it does not say they come with anything on the menu at all. read more

From southern California. Ordered food togo on my way to Iowa. Salsa was on point with a hint of cilantro, beans were not from a can and my Chile relleno/chxn taco were good, better than some places at home. If you want authentic Mexican food on your road trip through wherever I am, eat here. read more

Margaritas - All good - Mexican Near Me - Ogallala, Nebraska

Wonderful road-side food stop tucked behind the gas stations just off the interstate. Free chips and salsa to start. We had some solid guacamole (a good size portion at a reasonable price) and a lunch special burrito which came out of the kitchen very quickly. The staff were friendly and attentive. Satisfying and delicious! I would love to come back and sample more of Margaritas' menu. read more

3 margaritas family Mexican restaurant:The name is perfect! Me & my friends ordered 3margaritas, we saw family's eating, there was mexicn food, & you guessed it: it's a restaurant. When we arrived we were greeted by the friendly staff and served chips & salsa. We had 2 portions of salsa shared amongst 5 ppl which was adequate. It was a very classic cantina style salsa with mild kick. Our waiter was attentive, kind & allowed us to sample some of the enchilada sauces before deciding which ones we wanted.. tomatillo sauce all around. Most of us ordered the pick 2 meal combo (deluxe style with the guacamole and sour cream). Jeff ordered the steak fajitas because he likes it when the sizzling platter comes out and all the people at the tables next to us hear the sizzling and look over at him. That's just how he is. the portions at this place are large! nobody made it to the clean plate club tonight. even the margaritas were too big for us to finish! Mine was a bit sweet for my liking, but I'm sure it's just right for a most patrons. I believe we were all satisfied with our meals, however Bailey did not eat most of their chile relleno because they did not know what chile relleno was prior to ordering. not a fan of the egg aroma in the fried batter- again, a matter of preference!Michael paid on the company card (thank god ) and I hope he tipped good because those people were so nice. Prior to leaving I used the bathroom (#2) and was impressed by the led light around the perimeter of the faucet. It shined a bright narrow beam of light on my hands as I washed, a fun feature to encourage good hygiene. I am grateful for my dinner and a feeling full. next time we pass through ogallala we will share some food at margaritas instead of ordering our own entrees. read more

Really great Mexican spot passing through the small town of Ogalalla. Portions were huge! We had enough for 2 meals (at least). Got the Mexican stir fry -- was loaded with veggies and super yummy option without having to feel so lethargic after :) read more

When we travel, we plan on stopping in Ogalla, NE to have Black Bean Soup without cheese . This with some chips and salsa make for a delicious and nutritious vegan meal for us. It's not on the menu but we'll worth asking for. Same is true for the vegetarian version with the Mexican Cheese. The servers are helpful un answering questions about ingredients so we can stick to our diet while traveling. The restaurant is located next to the Tesla Supercharger so our car refuel while we have a delicious meal. read more

The food was excellent! Have not eaten a Mexican meal anywhere that was homemade like that. It wasn't out of a can! I travel a lot and eat out ever where we go. Have been in 48 states and this was the best Mexican food!!!! read more

Was very prompt to seat us with a friendly greeting. Chips and salsa were good -had the right spicy kick to it. I ordered the pollo con crema and was delicious. The queso fundido is probably the best ive ever had. Price is appropriate for the quantity you get. As we went through our meal, it kept feeling very cold. We asked them to move us or turn it down. Neither happened and by the time we left it had gotten colder. Only three tables were taken when we got there and by the time we paid the check we were freezing. Seemed they wanted us out. read more

Despite my review from 7 years ago we did in fact come back here recently! I opted just for beer vs the margarita. We were a large party and they put us right in the middle, but it was fine we were easily accessible. Overall the food is still same, hot, delicious mexican food and chips and salsa a plenty! read more

Salsa was good, restaurant was clean, restrooms were very clean and the spinach enchiladas were probably the best I have ever had. My hubby liked his food as well. So nice it is off the freeway because traveling, fast food starts to get to you. I wish they were closer. read more

Good Mexican food and service. We ate early and were served quickly. Crisp and warm chips and tasty salsa. Lots of food, well prepared. We would eat here again. read more

The first sign that this place was good was the fact that there were a lot of cars in the parking lot on a Sunday evening! (That's always a good sign) I had the Pollo Fundido and true to its name, the chicken breast was completely covered with deliciously sautéed vegetables. The chicken breast was so ample that my husband had to help me finish it. The beans and rice could have been a bit more spicy (to my taste), but as I am writing about the main focus of my dinner, I have to say I was well pleased (and full)! I'd definitely come here again! Love the decor. read more

Always great service and great food. I love the shrimp and cream over rice. My husband likes the Chile Colorado burrito

What a great find! Traveling home to Denver, we were hungry for lunch and decided to give Margaritas a try. Everything was excellent: service, food, and ambiance. The complimentary chips were warm and crunchy, without a hint of grease, and the accompanying salsa had just the right tang of spice. My husband and I each ordered one of the lunch specials, both of which tasted fresh and delicious. I had the Vegetarian Burrito which was overstuffed with black beans, rice, and crunchy lettuce. The guacamole on top and sauce that filled the plate bottom were both addictive. My husband's cheese quesadilla, served with beans and rice, were just what he was craving. At $9.95 each, these were true bargains. You definitely won't go away hungry! Highly recommend; we will definitely make this a regular stop along this route. read more

Had my taste buds ready for a chimichanga that's deep fried. Instead I got a wet burrito. Good but not the same

The restaurant is nice. It's located next to AmericInn hotel so business keeps coming in. My food was good, I got whole fried tilapia and fried ice cream. I stopped by after a long road trip from Utah, I had book the hotel next door to rest. Unfortunately maybe because I was seated in a corner all the waiters forgot about me, I became restless as I was left unattended for over 20 mins and needed a box to get my food to go. read more

Friendly is the first word that comes to mind when I see Margaritas again. Great people a plenty here. I was craving my usual, The Carnitas is my go to Mexican dish. Sadly, they were fresh out. I ordered the Seafood enchiladas and I really needed some soup. The nice man on the phone informed me they had at least 4 options. I chose the Chicken Tortilla. I grabbed my to go order at the very convenient drive up window, super easy way to do a pick up. Back at my hotel room, I found chips that were warm, salsa that was cold and some piping hot soup. The soup was delicious and warmed me right up, it wasn't spicy like I expected, but it was real good. The enchiladas did not disappoint either, both were stuffed full. The beans and rice were perfect to me. Avocado slices are a nice touch and they look and taste good too. There are very few places that have predicable hours and consistently good food in this town. I will always gravitate towards Margaritas. read more

Margaritas - Seafood enchiladas to go - Mexican Near Me - Ogallala, Nebraska

my husband got taco and enchilada plate, the taco was in enchilada sauce so it was soggy, still edible but soggy. I ordered smothered burritos, I asked waiter what it was smothered with and he said green chili, you can see from photo it was not green chili. It was okay. Would I order it again, or not. Food was not the worst I gave ever had, just average. read more

Margaritas - Half eaten smothered burrito. - Mexican Near Me - Ogallala, Nebraska

On a road trip and stopped here for dinner. Chips and salsa were tasty. Margaritas were big and tasty. We had enchiladas that were "ok". I usually like shredded chicken or pork. Here, the chicken was shredded but the pork was chopped/diced. Service was friendly and the food came up fast. read more

My husband and I and our plus one Labradoodle were passing through Ogallala and happened upon this amazing Mexican restaurant. We actually ordered dinner at lunchtime, took it back to the KOA campground. We were very happy with the quality of food. The service was fast, and the staff were friendly and respectable. read more

Oh my goodness! This place was so good! Loved the carne asada. The pork burrito was a hit. The shredded beef taco was delicious. The beans are def homemade. Rice was great! Javier our server was awesome. We wanted to come back, but didn't have the time. read more

Excellent Excellent Excellent We were told to go here instead of across the street from the truck stop, and we are so glad we did. We waited a few minutes to be seated, and then a minute or 2 later, we got our chips and salsa. Then the Guy came and took our drink and food order. I would say that we were served within 10 minutes of walking in the door, not that we were in a rush. I don't get to this part of the country often, but I will eat here next time... read more

Margaritas - This is the steak and eggs. - Mexican Near Me - Ogallala, Nebraska

Good food & service. Very chilly...we had to get our jackets to wear while waiting for our food.

I'm not sure how there was so many 5 star reviews. This was some of the worst Mexican food I've ever had. If you are looking for authentic Mexican food this is not the place to go. The guac looked and tasted like it had been out for hours. The salsa tasted more like a spiced pizza sauce than salsa (appeared to be out of a can). The rice tasted off and was overall very bland. I could go on. On top of that the service was not good. Queso dip (an appetizer) came out cold after entrees arrived. Requests/modifications were not followed. They didn't remove tomatoes from the taco salad as only one example. The server just placed the food down and walked away so we couldn't get anything corrected either. Overall if I could give this place no stars I would've. If you are road tripping do not stop. The fast food options would've been safer (or maybe the taco truck). read more

Busy place, especially because it was past prime dinner time. I ordered a Mexican hamburger, not really knowing what that would be, but it was tasty. It was basically a hamburger patty cut up in an enchilada. read more

The food is authentic Mexican Cuisine from a Mexican family that owns and runs the restaurant. The margaritas are excellent and the jalapeños are great. I suggest ordering the cheese dip with your chips and salsa. All the food is highly recommended The restaurant is located right off of Highway 80 for easy access. Juan was our server and he was especially friendly and helpful with suggestions!!! read more

Margaritas - The lively Decor. - Mexican Near Me - Ogallala, Nebraska

We came here before checking in to our hotel. The food was average...and the sides for my fajitas came out piping hot. Typically I love my food piping hot; however, this included to be the sour cream, pico, and guacamole (browned due to high heat). I asked for them to re-send the sides that should have been cold. Other than that mishap, the margaritas and service was great. I will be returning, but will be more mindful not to go too late right before closing time. Perhaps the kitchen was rushing that night since it was close to closing time. read more

What a sweet unexpected gem!!!! Was looking forward to dinner upon getting snowed in at Ogallala. So glad this place was open unlike other places near the motels!!! Thanks to the staff! Bet the motels were at capacity, too. Anyway, so glad Margaritas showed up for work because it would've been a sad day eating from the gas station! The black bean soup was SO good. If you're like me and like a little spice, ask for some housemade jalapeño salsa to scoop in the soup to make it absolutely perfect. Lots of lovely fresh cilantro, too. The shrimp and mushrooms entrée was recommended. I didn't feel hungry enough for beans & rice so they substituted for me greens as a side which were unseasoned so I doused it with fresh squeezed limes. It worked out great and went perfectly with the buttery, salty sauce on the shrooms and shrimp. The margarita that comes out of the special made metal pitcher is the bomb! Omg yea baby you'll def feel it, lol. I'd absolutely recommend this and the staff was great, too. Love wonderful surprises! read more

We stopped in here after fueling up nearby on a long trip. I tried the pork burrito and my wife got the chicken quesadilla, both of which we thought were bland. I was really disappointed, as I had higher expectations once we walked in and met the staff. The kids had some child Shirley Temples, which they seemed to like, and a bunch of chicken nuggets or chicken strips, which they enjoyed. They did have a good bar and bottles of Modelo, but I would try a different place the next time. It was also way overpriced for what we received, as I feel I didn't get my money's worth. read more

Excellent food!! We stopped for lunch on our way through and ordered off the lunch menu....don't be fooled. The portion was huge. I ordered the Express Burrito and my wife got the Arroz con Pollo and neither one of us could finish the meal, but there was no chance we were leaving anything behind. This might become a "regular" stop on our trips to and from Denver. read more

Ended up here after a different place we wanted to try looked deserted. 3 Margaritas is actually familiar to us as we have locations at home. Food was as expected (tortilla chips were warm & good). Probably would not order the Queso Fundido again, but the Pollo Chipotle was good (want to find a copy cat recipe to make at home). Bathroom was clean (bonus on a road trip). Service was attentive. They were open (the rest of Ogallala looked closed). Nothing to complain about. read more

We take a lot of road trips from Minnesota to Colorado. By Ogallala we needed a break. Service was quick and friendly. We tried cheese enchiladas, seafood enchiladas and a chimichanga; all were great. We also had flan (good), ice cream and the chimi cheese cake (a must). For the 3 of us with drinks, entrees and desserts it was $52.64. We will be back. read more

Food and drinks were fine, service was fine too. We had the chicken burrito, chicken enchilada and beef taco with margaritas.

At Margaritas in Ogallala, Nebraska, I ordered the Burrito Colorado, the pot roast inside had been marinated in red sauce. The burrito itself was smothered in green sauce. The flavor of the beef was extraordinarily delicious. I would whole-heartedly recommend that others consider this menu item. read more

Nobody ever gets a 5 star but Margaritas get a 4.9999 star with two thumbs up. Great service and staff and the best food I've eaten in too long. I can't wait to eat here again. Sad to see people going to McD's when just a few yards away is some of the best Mexican food I've eaten EVER!!! read more
