Las Margs

I was in today for lunch and received the best service I have anywhere in a very long time. There was only one guy working, but he was very attentive, friendly, and outgoing. You could tell he wanted us to have the best lunch hour possible and wanted us back there again. We ordered tacos, and he threw in a extra two just so we could try them. We tried 8 out of the 12 or so tacos and they were all fantastic. Highly recommend this place! Great drinks too!

This place is very unassuming. We stayed at the ramada inn across the street and just sort of happened by. The owner, zach, greeted us and was extremely personable and very outgoing. We felt well taken care of. The food was excellent and the happy hour was extended and dangerous with $ 4 house Margs. He even hooked us up for being nice. Def will go back. Al pastor tacos were very authentic and the 3 salsas had a flavor to satisfy all at our table. Give it a try well worth the stop.

This place is our go to taco restaurant in the Cap Hill area! The salsa trio is delicious, and the tacos are good. I also love the chili rellanos. The Margs are strong and delicious (although make sure to get them on the rocks. Frozen margs are meh). The pricing is great, and their happy hour is good!
The owner is pretty much always at the restaurant and checks in to make sure the food and service were good, and that your happy with your visit.

I came to this restaurant after dark. We were sitting near the thermostat that showed 82 degrees inside the restaurant. The food was good but it was far too hot to eat it. Also, ordered something with Chorizo which was a little too spicy for a kiddo just FYI. The service was good and the margarita was good, just way to hot and loud inside the restaurant.

Las margs is a great spot for delicious tacos and a variety of margaritas. I like the skinny marg and the chicken tinga tacos. They don’t normally serve burritos and my boyfriend really wanted one so the staff went above and beyond and made one especially for him. The people that work there are very friendly and always smiling.

Sat at the bar and mando was the bartender. He was so friendly! Food was delish. We will definitely be back!

Las margs was right across the ramada so we went. The place has awesome food and plenty of screens to watch all the sports your heart desires. My boyfriend and I ordered a variety of tacos and all of them were packed with flavor. In addition, we ordered a couple of margaritas. The bartender was so nice and so welcoming. When he made a margarita for someone else there was a bit leftover and he let us try some.

I never tire of the food here despite eating here often. Real spice and flavor. Always fresh and yummy. Always friendly and welcoming wait staff. Huge TVs at the bar if you want to watch the game. Dos Equis on tap. Margaritas! Tequila. I live a block away and get take away once a week and never get tired of the food. Always delicious.

They have a patio!!! Unfortunately, I went on the rainiest day of the month. Anyway, it’s affordable. The food is good. Drinks are strong. What else do you need? I tried the Cameron enchiladas — I wish I could remember it clearly but the Sexy Margarita I downed makes it a little blurry! Definitely try their tacos. Burritos — I wasn’t a huge fan of, as I tried one but the breakfast burrito I tried once ($ 2) definitely hit the spot. Make sure you get their chips and salsa to start off with. They gave us 4 different kind of salsa, all made in house. That had to be the best part.

Low key, great happy hour drinks, delicious street tacos. I came for an informal Unilocal happy hour. I have never been here despite it being just around the corner from one of my favorite pubs from back in the day.
Our waitress was great. Even though they clearly weren’t expecting a party of 10 or 12, she handled us efficiently and with a warm smile on her face.
I ordered a Pacifico on tap. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen Pacifico on tap at a small place like this, but it was a welcome sight. I also ordered the al pastor and the other pork taco (can’t remember the name). Both were full of delicious, fresh street taco flavor and color. They came served on two corn tortillas, and I always appreciate when corn tortilla tacos come with two tortillas because one always results in eating the taco filling with a fork.
This is definitely a cool neighborhood taco bar that I would frequent if it was closer to home. For anyone hanging around the City Park West or East Uptown area, stop by, get a cheap Pacifico on tap, and order a few tacos.

Having walked by this place before, I was really excited to finally have the chance to experience Las Margs. My first experience walking in was cool, it’s a nice place inside, and there’s a patio out front. When ordering at the bar, I asked the bartender to get the Rockies on, but he told me they didn’t have Root Sports, in which I called BS, but realizing my group was outside, I didn’t sweat him. I was lucky to have a my first marg. on the house, thanks to a really cool person! The house marg. is disappointingly made with a none-​100% De Agave Tequila at $ 3, and all the good Tequila is in the $ 8-​$ 10 range. Normally, I don’t drink anything but the best, but I didn’t feel like the guy that took advantage, so I settled.
Although, surprisingly it was made really good, and fate intervened and we ended up getting shots of Don Julio Anejo anyway. Thanks to all the Hispanic people I grew up around, I have a really problem paying more then $ 2 for tacos, but everyone seemed to be enjoying them. They have a great selection of meats including Al Pastor.

Jeff and I stopped by Las Margs last night for a Unilocal happy hour and man I was glad we did! I had no idea this spot even existed!
They have a neat little patio that’s perfect for enjoying some margs and salsa with a group of friends! Our server Rebecca was great. She was friendly, funny, attentive and fast. Everything you could ever ask for from someone who is in charge of your margaritas!
Their house margaritas are really good! I usually only have one marg because of how sweet they can be but this spot does it right! Just a hint of sweetness, lots of lime and margaritaville tequila… yum!
We had the salsa trio which actually came with four salsas. My favorite was the creamy chipotle. Jeff’s was the tomatillo. We also tried the queso. Put a bowl of cheese in front of me and I’m a happy gal.
We each had a few street tacos. On my plate were the asada, al pastor and tinga. The al pastor was my favorite though I thought all three were really good. These aren’t your run of the mill skimpy street tacos either. They’re packed full of meat and have honking huge slices of avocado on them.
It was a great time! Rebecca told us that they a great brunch so we will be back shortly for that!

Wow! I never give a place 4 stars off the bat– but it was the above and beyond service I received–
The suggestions, tacos, and margaritas, to the down to earth waitress Rebecca and owner from Chicago Zack–
These are the reason’s I became a Unilocaler–
It’s not only meeting and laughing with community Unilocalers, it’s about the people we meet that work and own these establishments that make these meets memorable —
Not only did I share interest from other Unilocalers, but it was the deep conversation’s about where they came from and what they do in there 9 – 5 —
Shout out out to all members of Las Margs for standing out in a true natives eyes among the thousand places to eat tacos and happy hours around my territory Denver —

Food is so delicious. Quaint little place with very reasonable prices. Had the chorizo sandwich and enchiladas for breakfast. Would go again.

Las Margs is a a perfect neighborhood spot to frequent. A fun Mexican restaurant with great food and great prices. Brightly colored with a warm atmosphere and GREAT music selection! SELENA YAAASS! Self seating good for large groups and also a full bar to sit at. It’s also hard not to run into a happy hour it this place.
Moving from Texas recently I was sad to leave the local margaritas… I’m happy to say I’m in love with Las Margs house margaritas! Cheap and lots of salt on the rim! Just how I like em’! Also their specialty margaritas are pretty good too. Lets keep talking alcohol at the moment shall we? $ 1 BRUNCH MIMOSAS ON SAT AND SUN UNTIL 2!!! I think I died and when to brunch heaven The food is great as well. You pretty much can’t go wrong with anything on the menu; Street tacos, burritos, nachos, tamales! All good! I also recommend the «Salsa Trio» mmm mmm mmm.
The staff is quick, attentive and have yet to get my order wrong. Zach is the owner and has always made us feel like one of the Las Margs family. He will seriously sit down and really get to know you if you let him. Great guy. I love my neighborhood taco place and strongly recommend it to you all.

5 stars for the service. Wasn’t busy, but Tom made me feel right at home, was attentive, just the right level of conversation, perfect all the way around.
The food on the other hand was bland, no spices, nothing good really. I have the huevos rancheros and took a breakfast burrito to go. Both were uneventful and lacking of flavor.
I may go back to chat with Tom and have a drink, but I’ll try somewhere else for breakfast.

Friendly staff was greeted when I walked in.
good drink specials. house margarita on rocks gets the buzz going quick
mango margarita is good to.
Tacos had a good amount of meat on them. I got the asada and carnitas
both were good. I’m back home writing this days later and I’m craving them.
you do have to pay for chips and salsa but it not all that expensive.
and the salsa sampler is worth the 3 dollars.
My date had the quesadilla with shrimp he loved it
this restaurant isn’t fancy if your looking for that go else where and pay too
much somewhere else.
street tacos affordable for everyday mexican food.
I’ll go here on a regular basis I’m a person on a tight budget and I ain’t complaining
like some of these other fancy folk.

Come for drinks, not for the food.
I would call the food, overpriced bar Mexican food, similar to the Rio (tasteless, microwaved yuk).
Pros:
Friendly staff
Good drink specials
Cheap drinks
Divey atmosphere, yet clean
Cons:
Way overpriced food for the quality.
Quality of food: ($ 7 FRIKING DOLLARS for a cup of tasteless guacamole and a basket of chips!!!, salsa from a jar, $ 1.50 for an extra basket of chips? $.75 for a tiny side of tasteless, Pace Picante sauce salsa?)
$ 4 for ONE street taco? Have you lost your mind?!?
5 stars for the bar side. Negative 10 stars for the food side.
Hello?!? You are a divey bar near Colfax, not a restaurant on the top floor of the Hilton in San Francisco!!! Lmao.

First the good, spacious patio and very friendly service. If I could rate the staff separately I’d give them 4. The atmosphere is a little divey, but it doesn’t detract (it is right off of Colfax after all) so that’s fine. Unfortunately the food doesn’t live up.
We didn’t order very much so there’s a chance it gets better, although I kinda doubt it. The queso appetizer is basically cheese wiz or velveeta with chopped peppers. The Las Cruces enchiladas were cheesy (which I was looking for) but the sauce was clearly canned.
My husband ordered three distinct tacos but found them eerily similar looking and tasting even worse. At the end of the night, I wished we’d gone to Chipotle.
Denver has some incredible Mexican food, it takes more than an off street patio to impress.

In their defense, this place dooes have a pretty cool patio. And the staff is very friendly. If all I wanted was a drink and a place to hang out, this might be it. But since it’s a restaurant, I’m shocked that it has such good reviews. The food isn’t completely inedible, but it’s pretty bad.
We started with the Queso, which was supposed to be a blend of melted cheeses served with corn chips. Sounds delicious, right? But what you actually get is cheese whiz with some peppers chopped up in it. You can eat it, but if you’re willing to forgo the peppers then you can get almost the same dish at 7 – 11 for $ 3.
I also tried three of their street tacos: the asada, al pastor, and carnitas. All three of them were boring and flavorless. The al pastor taco was especially mushy, it looked like they tossed the meat and pineapples into a blender with some sauce and then scooped them onto the tortilla. The asada was bland, and the carnitas tasted like leftovers. I love street tacos, but I only tolerated these.
It’s far from the worst Mexican food place that I’ve been to, but it’s close enough that I don’t see myself going back.

Popped in for dinner and was greeted by friendly staff, and luckily made it just in time for happy hour and lucked out on some cheap house margaritas. I had a few different tacos, but my favorite was the poblano with the corn salsa, it was super delicious. The staff was great about coming and checking for what we needed.

This is a SOLID place if you’re looking for cheap drinks with a fun atmosphere at in a great, central, location in town. It’s a few blocks from the Ogden/​Fillmore so it’s a good place to stop for a few pre-​show drinks.
We came for happy hour and were seated promptly in the bar area (had a group of four). We ended up getting the chips/​salsas (I really liked the creamy chipotle dip) along with a few house margaritas. The margaritas were… house-​like… but you can’t really complain when they’re $ 3! There are several other variations of margs like the Patron and Skinny (not as much sweetness) for a few bucks more. They also have really cheap beers if mixed drinks aren’t your first choice.
Service was friendly and attentive and I’m excited to come back on a nice day to enjoy the patio they have out front!

I was happy to find out Las Margs is just around the corner. I was happy to see how cheery and festive it is both on the inside and out. I was happy to be able to seat myself at a table or bar and see that all the open spots were sparkling clean and welcoming. I was happy to see the full bar and $ 5 house margaritas (and all margs are ½ price on Mondays, yaassssss). I was happy to see a simple menu with absolutely affordable prices. $ 2-​$ 3.50 tacos, $ 5-​$ 8 appetizers, $ 8-​$ 12 dollar entrees. Flan, churros, salsa trio, authentic street tacos. I was happy with the upbeat music featuring favorites like MJ’s Billie Jean. Happy happy happy.
I ordered two al pastor tacos which come with pineapple, purple onion, and cilantro. A TON of flavor and meat packed into those tiny corn tortillas. My side of refried black beans was fantastic as well, although pretty little. Unfortunately I wasn’t in the margarita mood, so I settled for some Sierra Mist (Pepsi products here, folks… that’s the only thing that didn’t make me happy).
Our waiter was so sweet and he took care of us without out hovering or checking in on us 10,000 times. It was all just right. I’ll definitley have many happy returns at Las Margs.

Cool décor, awesome area of the city, friendly staff, legit prices, but MEDIOCRE FOOD!
I hate to go against the grain, but all the good Unilocal reviews led me to suggest this place for dinner last night. We got: margaritas, the salsa trio, six tacos, and the chile rellenos between three of us. I thought maybe I was being harsh on the food since I had recently gone to Tacos Tequila Whiskey (AKA Pinches) and that place is really hard to beat, but the two people I was with agreed. The food wasn’t bad, and I know they are going for authentic Mexican, but any street taco I have had in LA/​Southern California was better. However, like I mention earlier, the prices are just great for what you get and the staff was really wonderful– accomodating and everyone was in a good mood. I will say there are definitely worse places to eat on this side of town, but also there is much better.
Note: parking was awful, and we went on a week night, so head over early if you are meeting people at a certain time! And another side note: Although it’s in City Park West. it’s still off Colfax, so I got asked for change twice walking to my car, and a lady called me the B word and asked if I want to fight! I was even walking with my Dad!!! This has nothing to do with the restaurant, but I’m still so appalled and I need to tell EVERYONE! Haha

I had the chips and three salsas (minus the habanero salsa), the al pastor taco, and the carnitas taco. I am SO excited about this place! I can’t wait to eat here again!
Everything was delicious, delicious, delicious… and the service was also amazing! The al pastor taco was by far my favorite. When I come back I plan on ordering only the al pastor I loved them so much. All of the salsas were good… the red salsas were my favorite. The avocado salsa was a little bland to me… and I do wish they had a green salsa that was tomatillo-​based instead of avocado.
Looking forward to bringing friends here and trying out their happy hour!

First stop of the gringo taco tour. I ordered asada (beef) and camarones (shrimp) taco. Asada was good, the meat was marinated well. Camarones was quite delicious. Marinated well and crispy on the outside. Also ordered $ 1 mimosa. It was ok, but can’t really complain for a dollar.
Overall, the food was tasty but at over $ 3 a taco, I expected a lot more. I’ve had $ 1 tacos that tasted better than these. Service was friendly and fast though.
