Yum- love the food here! It's our new favorite Mexican Restaurant! Wonderful coconut margaritas, excellent tamales, and outstanding queso. We live in the neighborhood and it is one of our favorite restaurants to frequent.

Very fast, excellent service. Great if you don't like Mexican food with flavor & spice.. 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.

You have a 50/50 chance. 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.

Great Service!. I read some of the previous reviews and have to correct some of the errors. First this is not Tex Mex..It is Las Cruces style mexican food. Secondly anyone who orders a house margarita gets what the deserve. Buy one of the many other margaritas there, they are awesome. I live about 20 miles but eat and drink here a couple time a week because the food and service are great. Zak is a hilarious bartender and I always ask to sit in Jame's section because he is one of the best servers in town. The food is very traditional and consistent. I love this place!

Great place to "stop by". I have to admit this is not the best place for food or drinks, but its on restaurant row and its definitely worth a visit now and then. I often come for lunch and have to admit, it does not taste like traditional Mexican food (in regards to spice and flavor), but it works, especially for a quick fix. The service has always been good, always treated kindly. The food is average, but so is the price-guess it goes hand in hand. The smaller lunch specials are worth looking into. The drinks are fair and I have to suggest the fajitas for dinner. Always enough to take home and for a really good price.
