Dined in at Tacos & Beer on a Tuesday night, which was very busy as expected. We were initially…read moreseated on the patio, but after about 10 minutes no one had acknowledged our table. No one stopped by to say they'd be with us shortly or even offered water while we waited. There are only about four tables on the patio, and while two tables were being helped by separate servers, both our table and another nearby table sat unattended with menus the entire time. We understand busy nights happen, but acknowledgment and communication go a long way. The servers in that section spent most of the time laughing and talking with the tables they were already serving while completely overlooking the unattended tables. Even the hostess walked back to the patio area, looked around, and still no one was sent over to assist us. At that point, we decided to move to the bar once two seats opened up. We were helped shortly after sitting down, although the service still wasn't great. The bartender who assisted us came across as uninterested and not very pleasant. We started with the queso, which unfortunately came out room temperature. The pastor tacos, however, were hot and fresh. We also ordered a frozen margarita flight, but by the time the flavors were stirred in, the drinks had already melted down quite a bit. One positive was the lady working behind the bar, who was attentive despite not even being the one serving us. Overall, this visit just wasn't a pleasant experience.

Someone had mentioned this was the place to be on Tuesdays due to their taco specials. I can't…read moreremember what it is specifically in terms of $$$ amount. All I know is tacos are cheap here on Tuesdays if you dine in here. So of course that's what I did on a Tuesday evening in mid September. Upon arriving, it felt like you were in a college bar with how packed it was with the demographics here of mainly young millenial & gen Z people. Many of the other reviews will attest to the crowds this establishment draws to it. Probably explains why Tuesdays are it's busiest days. Somehow there was a seat at the bar where I got greeted immediately; they gave me a taste of the juicifer beer when I couldn't decide. I enjoyed the citrusy taste so I ordered it and sipped on it while waiting on my tacos. And of course I decided to order another one once the tacos arrived. So the tacos; I went with the lengua, barbacoa, fajita, and the fish. The fish was not on the Tuesday special but figured I had to try it. The tacos are good size and tasty once you squeeze the lime on it; especially for the traditional kinds like the lengua/barbacoa/fajita with the onions/cilantro on them. The fish taco had a cabbage slaw and a baja sauce on top; not bad but I probably would've preferred ordering more of the traditional tacos that were part of the Taco Tuesday special. Of course I did just that by telling the bartender to order another round of those tacos since they were cheap. I forgot to mention to change the fish so they brought out another tray of the same ones I ordered the first time. I thought about saying something but figured I was the one who ordered it and it's my responsibility; so I finished them with a full belly but a smile on my face. These are probably the best tacos I've had in Louisiana. I've been critical of the taco/mexican eats in that state so I'm glad to come across some tacos that are actually worth ordering.

Food arriving only two minutes after I ordered it should have been my second warning. Was it fresh made? I don't think so. Two carnitas tacos. Dry pork shoulder covered in shredded lettuce. And SALTY SALTY SALTY! That was the only flavor. Refried beans straight out of a can. Plain rice. And the crispy taco shells? They came from a TACO SHELL FACTORY. Yep, ready-made out of a box. Barely edible, and let me mention, even if you do want this, you can get the same thing at Taco Bell for one-third the price. Terrible! DO NOT eat here.

My brother got the steak one and there was barely any on the burrito it was mostly rice. Also they give you a tiny little bowl of queso if you get it on the side.

I saw the sign for Margaritas Mexican Restaurant. When I went inside, I was met with a smiling waiter who took me to my table. It took me a few moments to narrow down my selection and when the waiter came for my order, I had 3 items I couldn't decide on. It was either fajitas, arroz con pollo or huevos con chorizo. I told him what I was interested in and he said to go with the arroz con pollo because there is chicken, veggies and rice, it has everything. My waiter, Phillpe, was so right in suggesting that dish. When it came out, it was amazing. The chicken was loaded with all kinds of sautéed veggies on top with a side of rice, sour cream and guacamole. He was spot on. This dish was amazing. The chicken was so flavorful, the veggies were moist and perfect. I took leftovers home and had them for dinner the next evening. If you do not try this place, it would be a mistake. This place was so colorful as you would expect it to be. For me having a knowledgeable waiter is so very helpful when you can't quite decide what to eat. I was so glad I stopped in to try this place. It is worth a visit and really putting it on your restaurant rotation. Phillipe, you are amazing at your job and should be recognized. You love your job and your knowledge of the food is amazing. Thank you for making my initial visit memorable and I am telling everyone about Margaritas! Please give this place a try. You won't regret it.
