Margaronas Cantina

We had a group of 13 people, and the servers were attentive and very polite. The atmosphere was relatively dark with a lot of cool décor, particularly for a Mexican restaurant in a strip mall. I was pleased that the chips were light, crispy, and not stale. We ordered our food, and it came out timely. I had the Chimichanga, which was good, but with our group we had a large variety. Everything looked good, and the group was pleased. The only thing I can think to improve on is not to fill (literally, fill) the glasses with the little pellets of ice. The drinks will stay cold enough with half that ice, the drink service will be a little easier, and everyone will be happier. We look forward to coming back when we are in town.

I’ve enjoyed each time I’ve been here. Food is very good and we’ve always had good service. My personal favorite is the pollo loco. Would recommend to everyone. Also, on Mondays from 6 – 8 pm, you get live music that’s very entertaining.

Really it was eh…
Service was slow and not very attentive. We ordered drinks and the Mexican dip right after we sat down. It was a while before she came and took our orders… still no dip… then another while and I finally asked her about it and it was pretty apparent she had forgotten.
The Mexican dip is cheese dip with beef and pico de gallo. It would have been good had the beef not made it really runny and kind of gross from all of the grease. By the time we got the dip we were nearly out of chips, ran out, and couldn’t eat the dip if we wanted to.
Another long while and our food finally arrives 1 plate at a time. My husbands burrito came out first. Halfway through that my meal arrived. When he had only a few bites of burrito left the waitress came by to see if anyone had brought his two tacos. Nope… so she had to go get those.
He really didn’t care for anything he had-​beef burrito, steak soft taco, and hard chicken taco. Beef was unseasoned. Chicken was probably the closest to being good because it was seasoned.
I had the Guacamaya which is like a torta. It was on fresh made bread with shredded pork, refried beans, pico de gallo, and avocado. I was very pleased with the quality of my meal until it started falling apart. Bread was delicious, pork was tender. I just don’t think it made up for the service issues we had.
They have a very unique menu so I think it’s worth another try. For a fairly new restaurant in a town where Mexican restaurants are a dime a dozen there were a good many patrons so apparently people really enjoy it.
