I have never been a big fan of Mexican cuisine... until a group of my friends and I stumbled upon Las Margaritas after a long day at the beach.  The fact that the doors were overflowing with people is what made it illecebrous; after one look at the menu posted on the restaurants exterior, we knew we had found a place to eat.  There was a 15 minute wait, but that quarter hour flew by as we waited anxiously to enter the eximious eatery.  Once inside, we were seated and ordered promptly.  My colleague and I both ordered the moderately priced Enchiladas San Blas ($14.40).  How can one resist two tortillas filled until bursting with a seafood combination to die for (fresh crab, shrimp and red snapper) and, of course, one cannot forget the Mexican rice and the refried beans. Surrounded by constant hustle and bustle, it was obvious we were not the only ones who found Las Margaritas foudroyant as we waited for our meals to arrive.  We enjoyed the unlimited in-house made tortilla chips and salsa and we were not unimpressed with the service.  In fact, considering that the restaurant was so busy, we expected a longer wait.  As far as we could tell the rest of the menu looked just as scrumptious. Also, if you are looking for a great place to enjoy a drink and a meal, the martinis being served were tempting.

All in all, Las Margarita offers great bang for your buck as the food is exquisite and the overall, authentic atmosphere only leaves you wanting more.

We plan on enjoying another meal at Las Margaritas as soon as possible.


¡Adios!
