It is easy to see why La Margarita has earned 4 stars in Yelp. For us, it was 5 stars all the way…read more Of course we had plenty of tortilla chips with an excellently sauced salsa. The house Margarita's were tasty. My wife had the Bean and Cheese Enchilada and I had the Chicken Chimichanga. Both were so good. Melanie was our server and she was quite friendly. The restaurant was quite busy due to the Joss Stone concert at the nearby Elsinore Theatre. We had the same plans as many but came early. Thanks La Margarita for a fun evening, and a perfect prelude to a great concert.

My friend said her enchiladas were yummy. I loved their rice and beans. My friend's Husband said the tortilla soup was yummy. I saw that have margarita flights, that I want to try. So I'm asking my Husband to take me on a date here because I think he would love it too. The service is great. They were a little busy but made enough time for us. I will be back when we are in Salem again.

Running errands in the area, I stopped by a few minutes after they opened at 11am on a weekday…read more The atmosphere is cheery, with lots of bright colors. Service was very friendly and personable. As I was there, a lot of regulars came in and were greeted warmly. Always a good sign. The complementary chips and salsa were just okay, but I did enjoy the refried beans they included. I went with the Combination Los Dos Hermanos, which features some Salvadoran dishes. It comes with a pupusa filled with shredded pork and cheese and a tamale filled with chicken. The pupusa is kind of like a tortilla packet. I found mine to be very delicious, with yummy pork and rich cheese. The tamale was good too. I loved the tangy cabbage salad that came with the main dishes, and the fried yucca root was super tasty too. The rice was okay, and the beans were good; I think they might have been red silk beans, but I am not sure about that. I was checked in on a few times, and it was a great lunch experience. I will keep this place in mind when I'm next in the area!

Food was great, I went with my standby today because I just wanted comfort food and I got it. Great seasoning, not over salted, and the chips and salsa with bean dip were so good. Yumm, what a bonus! I would definitely come back.

We recently ordered 12 servings of kings cake bread pudding for serving at a wedding rehearsal…read moredinner. The cook was extremely thoughtful, and gave it to us with oven warming instructions, and not yet with icing or sprinkles -- and gave those to us in large containers to apply right before serving, for best results. It was a very generous, thoughtful delivery by Noble Wave. My brother and his now spouse had spent their first date at Noble Wave, eating this dessert, and it was a phenomenal time at our wedding rehearsal dinner to have them re-tell the story of their first date, and then share with all the rehearsal dinner guests such a delicious and excellently presented dinner, fresh tasting and presented 8 hours after pickup. Thank you, Noble Wave!

The server got our drinks and our order and all came out fairly quickly. After that tho there was ZERO service. No refills. No did you need anything else. No check (we had to hunt someone down for that) and certainly no to go boxes. Let me also add that it wasn't so busy that all the tables were full either. This really is a shame because the food is incredibly good. Very large portions. We split the chicken and waffles and our friends split the ladder. Would I come back? Unlikely. I mean, I'm all about tipping but when your job suddenly stops after bringing my food and there's nothing else what tip do you deserve? Very disappointed in the service.

With so many great options for food in the area, I got a little anxious checking Yelp, but I am so…read moreglad that this is one of the places I decided to stop during my limited time here. I primarily chose this spot because they have a really nice outdoor patio area so I knew I would be able to sit with my dog and eat and enjoy the weather. What I didn't know was that it had Salem spelled out in colorful letters in the front which made for an awesome photo opportunity. I was really excited to find that. When you walk inside, it has this really bright, colorful, unique decor. There is something interesting to look at no matter where you turn. They offer free samples which I really appreciate because it personally makes it easier for me to decide what I want and it definitely encouraged me to buy more cheese! My favorite sample was the queso cojeda enchilado. It had a rich tangy flavor. I ended up ordering a torta with some chips and grabbed a few different salsas from the salsa bar to try. The food was good and I couldn't leave without buying some of their smoked Oaxacan cheese to take with me. Let me tell you, it only lasted me 2 days. I wish I had bought more. As I was buying the cheese, I saw a family enjoying some ice cream cones and I had to try their ice cream as well. This place has everything. I got a cone of the Oregon mint and honestly I think it might be one of the best flavors of ice cream I have ever had. It was so fresh and flavorful and I was actually sad when I started getting to the bottom of the cone. If you're an ice cream person, you have to try it. They also gave me a card for a free game of bowling at Northgate Bowl which I thought was a really neat bonus. I wasn't in the area long enough to use it, but if we had been staying longer I definitely would have tried out the bowling as well. This is exactly the kind of local business I want to support. It's warm, welcoming, and most importantly, all of the products that they are putting out are fresh, delicious and made with love.

The burrito was super fresh and not super greasy. The quesadillas were good, got al pastor and carne asada. The al pastor was good but the carne asada was really good!

We were told to come here from someone at a winery and although it was okay, it wasn't great…read more The cheese dip really lacked flavor and we threw in salsa and jalapeños into it to enjoy it better. The Mexican pizza wasn't bad but not something I'd go out of my way to go back to have. The lady was nice, it seemed like she was the only one working. Ambiance was interesting because it's all very closed off (or at least the area we were in). No beers on draft, just a heads up.

They refused to fill our drinks to the top and gave them to us 3/4 full because we asked for no ice. When I asked the window attendant to fill the remainder of the cup, she refused, stating it was because we asked for no ice. She then refused to give us a refund for the drinks. After I left my number and was told I would get a callback from a manager--which never happened--I called the next morning and had a terrible experience with the manager. She initially refused to give her name and argued that "all food places" shortchange customers who order no ice. Most shockingly, she told me the only way to get a refund was to bring back the "untouched" drinks from the night before, which is an impossible and illogical request to make of a customer the following day. It's a shame to see such poor management at this branch driving away loyal customers over a few ounces of soda. ** We hope corporate looks into this!

I don't usually stay in the restaurant, it's usually to go, but from when I have, it's solidly clean and smells wonderful. The only thing I would change is the music. Sometimes the music is iffy. Then again, I am a musician, and picky.
