Great food, great atmosphere, great prices

by ncgirl73

Went here last night after reading all positive reviews. Got seated and served drinks right away. Then got the usual basket of chips (they were warm!!) and great salsa, but also a few of their homemade tortillas. EXCELLENT! I got the Panchita and hubby got the chicken fajitas. Both were outstanding. The chicken has this unique smoked flavor that is out of this world, the guac was super fresh and delicious, and did I mention the tortillas?? Check out this place. You will not be dissapointed.

• Pros: Best tortillas and guac I've ever had
• Cons: Its not right next to my house

Best Mexican Food Around!!!

by Julie duncan nixon

Ever since I first ate lunch here at La Margarita, it fast became my all time favorite Mexican food restaurant. The wait staff is always friendly, the food is always great and I could literally drink their salsa, if they would let me. I have introduced this place to many friends who were addicted from the first bite. Rock on La Margarita! Don't change a thing!

• Pros: Everything is good!!! Including the prices!
• Cons: Can't get there often enough!

Great Fajitas

by Harper78759

This place rocks. The beef fajitas are among some of the best I have ever eaten. They also have this green sauce you have to ask for that is ground up jalapenos I think. It is very spicy. It is simply awesome.

• Pros: great food, great margaritas
• Cons: little noisy

best in town for me

by sta1

If you give this place a bad review you do not know about tex-mex. they are one of the best restaurants in town, yea you might get a new server and the service might not be great but 99% of the time is good food and good service. i dine in there weekly and cannot remember a bad meal or bad service. weekends are kinda of crazy due to them being so busy, so try to beat the crowd before 6pm.

Not worth a second visit

by CountofMonteFrisco

My wife and I were curious about the place simply by its flashy exterior. It seems that the owners have done a very good job catering to the majority of people that think that Mexican food is chips and watery salsa; or diluted cheese enchiladas. If you are looking for good Mexican food then should look elsewhere.

The restaurant is clean, and the hostess service amicable. Our waitress was poorly trained, and the waitress next to us actually rolled her eyes and called the customer a "B!tch" when she turned around. One thing I noticed was that most plates sat at most tables until customers left. As if that job was beneath the wait staff.

My two stars are a fair rating for marketing and getting people in the door, but once you are in you will be disappointed if you know what good service, good food, and good drinks are. Then again, you get what you pay for.

• Pros: Nice construction
• Cons: Bad service, Mediocre Food

Horrible Hostesses

by rawk74

Pretty decent fajitas. The waiter was good when we finally got there. Hostesses originally stated a 45 minute wait. We checked with hostesses about 55 minutes into waiting. We were informed there were 2 more in front of us. However, after watching 10 tables get sat in the next 40 minutes we inquired again to find there were only 3 tables in front of us now. I don't know if the laws of mathematics were reversed and 3 is less than 2, but the hostesses seemed to believe that 3 is less than 2. Their excuse was that they accept call-ins, so you can obviously go in, ask for a table, then call in and get yourself sat before your original place in line. If that works for you, try it, otherwise don't waste your time. Complete lack of organization and professionalism.

This is our favorite!

by julesjac24

My family has been eating at La Margarita for over 10 years now, since they were in the old ratty building! The service, quality of food and overall experience has always been fantastic. It's a great place for large gatherings, romatic dinners, lunch getaways from the office and even for takeout on those nights you just don't want to get dressed up to go out.

While you can't go wrong with selections like fajitas or enchiladas, if you're feeling more eager to try something new, definitely go with the Mexican Whitewings. Or perhaps try the chile relleno. Or the fish enchilada/taco plate. Whatever you try, you simply cannot go wrong.

For salad lovers, you can't get a better salad than the La Margarita Salad topped with your choice of grilled, smoked or batter fried chicken or, for beef lovers, beef fajita strips. While the grilled chicken and the beef fajitas are great, you simply can not go wrong with the sweet and juicy smoked chicken.

If after your main meal you still find room for more, you must try the skillet apple pie with the brandy caramel sauce and ice cream.

Basically, if you're in the mood for Mexican, this is THE place to get your fix.

• Pros: Simple, tasty food; Energetic atmosphere, but quiet enough for a date or lunch; Friendly service
• Cons: Long waits during peak times (they don't take reservations, but they do call-ahead seating!)

Best Margaritas Around!

by TracyDavis

I've been hearing for years that Baby A's was the place to go for great margaritas. I must say that I strongly disagree. La Margarita has THE BEST margaritas. I absolutely love them.

Their food is also quite tasty. I have never had a bad meal there and we have gone quite often since we moved to Round Rock.

This is also a great place for families and reasonably priced (so the family can afford it!).

• Pros: Great food and drinks. Great for family dining.

mmm

by ElRey1

First of all I don't see how anyone could give this well known local establishment a bad review. La Margarita is situated in a beautiful building complete with well decorated decor. The food is so good especially the Fajitas. Some of my other favorite dishes include the Chipolte Chicken which is simply divine, the Shrimp Diablo are yummy, and don't forget to try the flan for a complete meal. The Margaritas are really tasty and so are the Mexican Martinis. Now I know where the place gets its name.

• Pros: everything!
• Cons: n/a
