Las Margaritas at Belmar

04/10/2008 Posted by Ailea

Decent food, really different from any Mexican I've ever had. Trying really really hard to be trendy and unique. Nothing is simple or basic, it is all dressed up with something kindof different - a cheese sauce here or an oddly flavored red sauce there, many colors, many flavors all mixed together. It's interesting, but picky people might have issues. There is way better mexican out there. The salsas are really tasty, though. Food will come in a reasonable amount of time, wait won't be horrible - though I've never been there on a Friday or Saturday night. Wait staff is usually good about getting what you need, but are often too busy to check on you much. Seating is uncomfortably close. You are guaranteed to get a butt or a bag in your face as people squeeze by your table to get to theirs and you are practically sitting on each other. No room to walk. Probably better in the summer time when they can open up the walls and move more tables outside. As is, don't wear a big coat, there will be nowhere to put it that isn't on your neighbor's lap or your own and don't bring a claustrophobe to dinner.

Pros: Food is interesting

Cons: claustrophobic, tad expensive for what you are getting

Every time we go to Las Margaritas the place is packed in an uncomfortable way. I like the food, though I feel it is overpriced for simple Mexican food, but it is almost unbearable to dine there. It's not romantic, quiet, spacious or welcoming. All the waiters are in a rush to tend to their tables, so they come off as merely civil. Their hurried manor makes me feel like I am being pushed forward in the meal as well, as if they are timing me to eat. This is further compounded by the lack of a waiting area, so new customers are watching you eat, glancing at what stage you are at in the meal to try to estimate their own wait time; they do this in the only place to stand (no waiting area), which is directly in front of the main entrance. The last time we went there, this weekend, we ended up being so uncomfortable due to all of the reasons I stated above, that we asked for our food 'to go' and cut our dine in time in half. I told my husband that I never want to go there again. This review is polite compared to the way I felt after several date nights being ruined.

Pros: They never change their menu, so you can count on your old favorites

Cons: Loud, Packed, Uncomfortable seating, No waiting area, Curt waitors, etc.

Great new spot located in Belmar. I love going there on Sunday afternoon and hanging on the patio listening to live music and people watching. The food is great and the marg's are fantastic.

Pros: outside bar patio, late night happy hour, great food

Cons: none

Las Marg's is your non corporate restaurant bar located in Belmar. Great food and a wonderful staff. I love that they serve good food until 1am everynight and there is a 2-1 happy hour everynight :). The outdoor bar to the patio is my favorite feature. Everthing I have tried has been outstanding. Best free chips and salsa in Denver.

Belmar has some of my favorite Lakewood restaurants but the new Las Margaritas in Belmar is the bomb. The outdoor bar is the place to be for happy hour and the weekend brunch menu is delicious. (Try the brunchiladas) The day bartender Louie makes a really good mojito from scratch or ask for his signiture drink "vodka yummy goodness". Really good people and a very unique restaurant design...

Pros: The staff, food, and strong drinks
