1. Margaritas Mexican Restaurant

The margaritas that we normally enjoyed seemed watered down, with lots of ice and not much drink. I requested extra cilantro with my order, but there was no cilantro at all; only scallions. Also, there was no cilantro in the guacamole. The steak in my husband's fajitas was overdone. Normally, they are much better than this.We appreciate your feedback Barbara, and we're sad to learn that you're so disappointed. We would never intentionally 'water down' any of our beverages.. please don't hesitate to mention it to your server if it ever seems this way again! We're sorry for missing your cilantro. We certainly did not mean to make such a mistake. Oh.. and you're correct! We no longer put cilantro in our guacamole. If you ever want any, please just let us know! We truly appreciate you coming in, and we apologize for any inconvenience. We hope to see you and your husband again sometime soon!

After reading reviews and people saying this is genuine Mexican food, I thought I'd give it a chance. Mistake! It reminded me of what a school cafeteria might serve on Mexican food day. Nachos were a neatly lined ONE layer of chips on a small paper plate, covered in canned cheese, and terrible hamburger. That's why it's so affordable. There's nothing there. This place confuses me. I would imagine it could be quite successful with some decent food. I've never been to Mexico, maybe this is authentic? If anything I'd refer to it was TexMex.Won't go back.When we got there it said they closed at 9, it was 8:00 and the sign and outside lights were off.

Very tiny (3 bench seats that seat 3 people each). Small selection of foods but what they serve is excellent. I had a giant beef taco salad that was really good. The couple sharing my bench had tacos and they said they were excellent. They only have those Mexican sodas (not even water) but they share an entrance with a convenience store that has any drink you want ;except hard liquor). It's worth a visit.
