Editorial Review for Las Margaritas Uptown – by Citysearch Staff
In Short
During happy hour, downtowners drop in to ogle each other and feast on free munchies. The namesake margaritas, from fruity to cool and coconut-y, ease the jangled nerves of the after-work crowd. If the free munchies aren't enough, the menu features traditional Southwestern fare like burritos, huevos rancheros, carnitas, chicken and steak plates, along with a number of vegetarian dishes. Don't forget about dessert: sopapillas, fried ice cream and creamy, rich homemade flan.

Upon arrival, the place had a good atmosphere and looked to be a bit higher class than most Mexican restaurants. We were seated immediately, drinks brought promptly & our appetizer of chile con queso came out just as our chips & salsa did. I have to say the salsas, 3 separate salsas to sample, were EXCELLENT! I was impressed. However, the disappointment began with the chile con queso. Completely lacking in flavor. Not bad tasting, just no taste. The waitress was quick to re-fill our drinks, we were never empty. Again, excellent service. Now, to the main course. Large plates were set in front of us. Good portion size for the price. However again, lacking in flavor & absolutely no spice whatsoever. Overall, the meal was very bland. It wasn't bad, it just wasn't great. As a Mexican food connoisseur and someone that LOVES spicy food, this was a huge disappointment. If you can't handle spicy food and don't like flavor & mouth watering taste, this place is perfect for you.
Pros: Excellent service & food came out FAST!
Cons: Food was bland, no flavor and no spice.

Eating at Las Margaritas is like rolling the dice. I have dined there 4 times over the past 2 months and it has been great twice and disgusting twice. Batting .500 is good for a baseball player but not for a reastaurant. I suggest you stick to drinks on the patio and eat somewhere down the street after the sun sets.
