Las Margaritas

This place is an 11/10. We showed up. Immediately seated (it’s a hidden gem). Impeccable decoration. Brittany was our server, she was kind and FAST. We went on a Thursday and got $5 mixed drinks. FIVE DOLLARS. They brought it out with a smoky cover like a $100 drink. So they make you feel SPECIAL. Tacos $3 on Thursdays okay, can’t friggen beat that. Anyways I’m writing this review a bit tipsy since they gave us a free shot on the house (the place was empty, don’t go asking for it). AND they didn’t even ask for a review. I’m just here, a humble foodie, to tell you this place deserves 6 stars. Thank you and good night.

I do not recommend this restaurant if you're expecting any level of good service or food. From the outside, it looks to be a nice establishment, complete with complimentary valet. The exterior is appealing, and the guy running the valet seemed nice. Our first issue was trying to get inside— the two front doors are completely covered by fake flower strings, obstructing the entrance entirely. We had to search for the entrance, and as soon as we got inside, three different people rudely told us to give them a moment. We asked not to be seated near the DJ, which was blaring music, and it felt like playing musical chairs with the way the staff failed to accommodate us until we corrected them repeatedly. The decor is extremely loud and overwhelming, covering every inch of surface available. Even the bathroom hallway is covered in string flowers, obstructing any signage (of which there is none, just a picture of Frida Kahlo to differentiate the bathrooms). The inside of the bathroom is a sensory nightmare, with wall to wall paintings of famous people and a "teach me how to learn Spanish" audio playing loudly on repeat. If I had not been warned beforehand, I would have been terrified to hear a man in the bathroom— which the translator was. Once seated, the tables were tiny and crammed full of unnecessary decoration that we had to remove to be able to comfortably sit. Our waitress attended to us three times while we were there, which was jarring because the table next to us— who knew the owner and told us so— was waited on hand and foot, receiving free dessert and having every need attended to. Meanwhile, we had sporadic service and no water refills. The food itself was not good. We got $3 tacos for Taco Thursday, and they were bland and small in portion with overwhelming garnishes. We also ordered the dip trio, which had no flavor. Another table across the room ordered fajitas, and they have no ventilation, so smoke filled the entire restaurant and made my eyes sting. Upon leaving, the valet attendant was nowhere to be found. We had to go into the UNLOCKED and BROKEN valet cabinet to get our keys, and our car was not locked, which is a safety hazard. The valet never returned before we left. I am extremely disappointed and will never go back. It was an awful experience.

I’m not really a foodie so when I go to a restaurant I’m looking for a great vibe, fun atmosphere, and photo opportunities so I can dress up and show out! This place was gorgeous! They had Brazilian dancers and fire performers and the queso was awesome. Definitely check it out when you get the chance

I am not sure what to make of this restaurant. They just opened after been closed for few years. Service and food was very good, but place is very heavily decorated, very busy to the eye. Cant tell if they want to be a bar, a restaurant, or a lounge. Music was played fairly loud at times, and among the genres, reggaeton, not what I would expect from a latin/mexican restaurant, when there is such a great variety of tasteful latin music, from baladas to salsa/merinque. My margarita was well prepared ,refreshing. For main course I ordered the Cuban Ropa VIeja; tasty and flavorful. Not sure if we will patronize this establishment again, not sure who do they want to target as their main audience.

Las Margaritas is a latin vibe and full experience. Family friendly, great for celebrating birthdays or life in general.. The food is delicious, I highly recommend it. Check out their resident DJ CEELOS rocking the crowd with flavor and diverse mixes, I love it.. I will be coming back for sure..

This is such a hidden gem!! The food is great and the drinks are even better. The atmosphere is so positive and uplifting!! Definitely recommend!

Best salsa I’ve ever had. Best tacos I’ve ever had. Don’t let the $6.95 for 1 taco fool you. I ordered 2 Argentinian thinking I would for sure leave hungry.. I was wrong PILED HIGH.. with perfectly cooked strips of steak in the best sauce and onions.. absolutely phenomenal and I’m leaving stuffed because I can’t stop with the salsa… 😂 kind and knowledgeable bartender that offered up recommendations since it was my first time here. Highly recommend this place!

Wow! What an experience. Other Restaurants need to take notes from this place because the attention to detail and atmosphere here is incredible. It’s more than just food, but also an experience that takes you out of Atlanta. The food matched the great level of attention to detail and was delicious. Everything was reasonably priced for high quality food. Service was quick and thoughtful. 10/10.
