Seriously in place that had 2 people at the bar and about 15 people in the restaurant. Owner attitude bad. A waitress was trying to wait on me at the bar and she was confused, not her fault.

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.

Definitely a vibe!…read more So I visited the Baton Rouge many times on lunch break on Taco Tuesday, which is usually packed! This time I went for Sunday brunch, which they still offer the full menu. We had a pitcher of frozen margaritas, which they offer many flavors. The inside is dim lit with very nice decor, but we chose to sit outside since the weather was so pleasant. Our server visited the table within minutes & was super polite. There's music playing outside with a covered patio & spacious seating. It didn't take long at all for our food to come out (pictured). The chimichangas & everything was flavorful. Other tables ordered margaritas flights & one drink even came with a sparkler. They really take pride in their presentation. There are mocktails if you need nonalcoholic options & $4 margaritas during happy hour. I'll definitely be back to try something new.
