La Margarita

Great food and service. Every time I'm in Salem I stop by for a great meal. The staff is friendly and always prompt service.

We really wanted to live this place because it's close to us, and are suppose to be known for their margaritas. However we were sadly unimpressed.

The food was very bland, and my husband's food was missing the beans. I ordered the fajita prawn taco salad and was sad to only 5 shrimp on it. The homemade tortilla was great. I had to add some salt to have flavoring. As for my husband, he ordered the Carne A La Tampiquena and was disappointed. The beans were missing and the steak had no flavor. It was cooked to the requested medium rare. The highlight was the creme sauce.

We ordered the blackberry margarita for two and thought we could taste the tequila just fine- this seems to be a problem with other reviews. However there was so much puree that it was difficult to drink and overly sweet.

The place itself was clean and have lots of people. There was plenty of seating and would be a nice spot to just grab drinks. I'm willing to go try a different margarita. The service was ok, it took a bit to be noticed and seated and they came to check on us only one time.

La Margarita is very tight. It is a cozy space. If you don't mind being packed in to a small space with a lot of others, this is the place to be.
The margaritas for two was only OK. The blackberry margarita was very sweet and had very little tequila.
The fajita taco salad was very bland and only had about 6 shrimp. All of the base ingredients were very separated. Had to break the shell to be able to mix the beans and rice.
The carne a la tampiquena was also pretty under seasoned overall. But the chicken crema enchilada was really good. The housemade tortillas were awesome and you could tell they were fresh. Feel it was a bit over priced for the quality.

Food was pretty mediocre to bad and the service wasn't attentive either. My daughter and wife agree that we won't return.

Whenever I drive past this restaurant there is always a line. I finally had to find out what all the hype was about. I ate the fajita taco salad and it was absolutely delicious. The food arrived in seemingly no time. After eating there I now know why people are always waiting to get food here!

It was our first stop at La Margarita. It was a Friday night in September, dreary and perfect for the warm, inviting, ambiance of the restaurant. The server was either stretch too thin or distracted which we didn't love but her peers did a wonderful job reading our queues and making happen! In all, it was a good experience. Typical Americanized Mexican styled fair with flavor and execution. If you're expecting run-of-the-mill, you'll be pleasantly (enough) surprised. If you're expecting authentic fare in a nicer background, you won't be. Worth a stop in!

Been here many times as it's a go-to close to work. Went to lunch on the weekend and enjoyed a chimichanga and margarita flight. Clean place with good chips and salsa (always sets the bar for me lol) and fun experience with the flight. Only negative was we got seated in the back section and seemed to get forgotten at times.

The food here is fantastic, with a wide variety of options to choose from. The staff is friendly and attentive, ensuring a great dining experience! You absolutely can't go wrong with their margarita flights - they're the perfect complement to any meal. Whether you're looking for a casual dinner or a night out with friends, La Margarita is the place to be!

No alcohol in their margaritas. Food and service was good. To me, there should be at least a hint of tequila taste in a margarita.

Went for lunch today with my co-workers for a bonding session, and I completely forgot to take a picture of the scrumptious enchilada I got because we were so busy chatting and digging into the wonderful food.
Had good quick service, and everyone was incredibly friendly! Will definitely be heading back
