Not only is the food abundant but items a tasty if not more so! If you want to eat and be full then have leftovers for a couple of meals, Las Margaritas is the place to go!! Our hostess was great and our waiter was awesome! He checked with us often and oddly, I always had a request, whether it wads queso, another margarita or extra napkins. Very attentive. The space has the best windows that overlook a small lake AND outdoor seating. Also, highly suggest that you call to order pick up because it's the best way to get details in the many options on the menu. read more

Really nice restaurant. I wish the weather had been better as they have a beautiful deck overlooking a lake. They were very busy at 5:30pm on a Friday. But we didn't have to wait for a table. For a table of 7 they brought out 3 baskets of free chips and salsa. The chips were good. The salsa was very good with a bit of heat. Our server was very helpful and friendly. Checked on us, didn't hover but kept our drinks filled. The peach, strawberry and original margaritas were enjoyed! The shrimp chimichanga was huge and delicious. The shrimp quesadillas were also huge. The tomatoes made it a little too runny. It also didn't have enough cheese. We wouldn't order it again. It was just ok. I'll try something different next time. The T-bone steak with garlic shrimp was better than expected! The steak was a little over cooked but flavor was good. The shrimp were great! Steak fajitas were very good. The 2 children split an order of chicken wings. They ate every bite! We were there celebrating our daughter's birthday. They gave her a large shot of tequila for free. They said they would come sing to her. But they were so busy they weren't able to do that. Which actually made my daughter happy, lol! read more

Everything- service and food is excellent! With the lake view it is extra special! The are regulars and they have the best tea in Columbia. read more

Went here based off recommendations. Food was average, nothing special. Had the enchiladas and taco combo. Service was good and attentive. read more

The fajitas were delicious, but my typical favorite Colorado burrito was super salty. The salsa is good. Will try again.

I had a chimichanga delivered. It came in a container with pico de gallo, lettuce, guacamole and sour cream. The pico had so much liquid in it that it flooded the container bottom which soaked the other items, and the chimichanga into a gloppy mess. I fed it to my dogs. The other container has rice and beans. Those were good. read more

Service was subpar. Was overcharged by over 20 dollars. Took receipt in had to wait for over an hr for a manager. Did not get the receipt back. Kid behind the counter kept it now they will not give back the amount they overcharged for items not received or ordered. read more

.First, I will say I give out lots of reviews. Most are positive. Unfortunately this one is not. We live close to Las Margaritas so we tend to go there out of convenience, We have eaten there approximately two times a year for the past six years. I guess my memory is short because each time we go there I wonder why?.... The food is terrible. I read all the reviews about how fantastic it is and just have to wonder. I have been all over the world and eaten Mexican food and never has any restaurant been so bad. The food is overly salty and otherwise tasteless. It certainly is not fresh. The most recent order was just a couple of tacos, refried beans and refried rice (very difficult to mess up). The tacos had wilted lettuce and the meat (beef) was more like an over salted paste with the consistency of baby food. If I were to guess, i think it was cooked/heated numerous times, resalted and re-served. Whoever salted it must be a smoker who no longer has taste buds. The refried beans did not taste right even if they did come straight out of a can. Most refried beans do come out of a can and taste just fine just not this time. In short, I am in no way, shape or form a "foody" with high expectations. Everything I said above is no exaggeration. Period! Unless I get dementia (at my age it is a possibility), I will never give them any more future business. End of rant.... read more

Our group of three LOVED our dinner at Las Margaritas! The restaurant was super busy, but the atmosphere was still fantastic, the patio was peaceful, and the servers were hustling like crazy all without making anyone feel rushed. Our server was Jay, and we wanted for nothing the entire time we were there. Chips and salsa were replenished, drinks refilled, and used dishes quietly removed without us having to ask for a thing, despite the fact that he was clearly super busy. And of course, the food was delicious; highly recommend the chimichangas! read more

We had an extremely disappointing experience at Las Margarita on Mother's Day. After being seated, we waited over 20 minutes without any acknowledgment from our server. I had to get up and ask the hostess who our server even was something that should never happen in a well-run restaurant. When the server finally did arrive, they took our drink order but then served drinks to other tables who were seated after us, and even took additional drink and food orders from those tables before we were brought so much as a glass of water. We flagged the issue to the manager, expecting at least a basic apology or some effort to correct the situation, but nothing was done. The service continued to be inattentive and dismissive, and by that point, the damage was done. For what was supposed to be a special Mother's Day dinner, this experience was frankly awful. We left feeling frustrated and ignored. We will not be returning to Las Margarita, and I would not recommend it to others based on this level of service. read more

Great food and service! Good place to bring the family. Serving sizes are very generous. My husband and I split the fajita Bravas and werre still stuffed. Our grandson got the kids chicken strips and fries. They serve the fries in a cute mini size fry basket. Prices are reasonable. read more

This place is pretty popular so we wanted to check it out. We like the location by the lake, would love to sit out on the patio next time. Overall, the ambiance and service are typical for a tex mex place. The food is okay, not the best in my opinion. They also messed up our order, which isn't a huge deal. But overall would come back mainly for the patio. - Burrito carne asada (4/5): pretty good flavor overall, the salsa verde is my favorite. I prefer the carne asada over other beef. Beans and rice are yummy - Cheese steak tacos (3/5): good but would like more toppings/veggies. Overall a good portion size read more

slow service, barely warm food which was only of average quality, not worth the cost.

I came here today because we are staying in a hotel for my golf tournament. Looked like a good place to eat. Me and my family are Mexican food coni suers we got some cheese dip to start and it was really good. The vibe was different than an authentic restaurant, the music also different. The service was good too. Food came out somewhat fast. The cheese and chicken enchiladas were GREAT. The cheese one was the best I've ever had. If you don't like veggies don't get the chicken one. Beans and rice also great. Overall a wonderful spot by the college campus. 5 stars. S tier read more

Ordered house margaritas and was charged for double barrel margaritas which are about $4 more. Enchilada cheese was solid, not hot and melted. Sauce and rice and beans were bland. Paid too much for this. Will not return. What a disappointment. read more

Who doesn't like a margarita and a taco (or tacos)?? Came down to Columbia to visit a friend in university and we decided to go here with some friends for margs and tacos. We got some marg pitchers, and a whole bunch of dishes. I ordered the steak tacos, which were quite good. Likewise with the margs. The pitchers were very big and very delicious! My only complaint is that the wait to get our drinks, our orders in, our checks, etc was so, so long. It took almost a half an hour just for us to get water. The dinner that we planned on being only an hour or so was almost three hours by the end because we were waiting around for various things for so long. Our waiter was super sweet, but oof. The wait was really bad. read more

Food is typical Mexican fare. Trash can nachos are the exception. If you can get through them you are a trooper. Margaritas are great, especially on Wednesdays when there is a special on them. If you can and the weather is good grab a seat on the deck. Make sure you are not downwind from the lake fountain or you'll get spritzed with pond water. No bueno that. read more

If you want VIP treatment at this establishment then it's best to dine in. If you call in directly without using a delivery service, then you'll get your order quicker than ordering online through a delivery service. If you're thinking about ordering online through a delivery service, then be prepared to wait for extended periods of time. This restaurant does not PRIORITIZE online delivery orders in the manner in which they were received! In fact, all online orders are pushed back and not even started until the delivery driver arrives in which causes a delay for both the customer and the driver. Also, if the delivery person asks questions about the customer's order, then there's a possibility that the order will be damaged upon receiving it. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has noticed this! I absolutely do not recommend! What you're seeing is a delivery orders received 20 minutes after waiting. It was pouring rain so all drivers including myself had to drive slow because visibility was poor with the rain! This is how I received the order in which I didn't notice it until I removed it from my seat and handed it to the customer in which was very upset. To the young lady at the front, Professionalism, kindness and being courteous as well as honest, goes a long way, please request customer service skills to better assist everyone involved and to prevent this kind of review! read more

The food last Saturday night was very hot and delicious. The margaritas were great too! Great service and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. Great experience! read more

Its all bad. Food cold, won't give out "extra" napkins when ask, askd waitress for THREE waters..came out with two. Asked for THREE sides of rice...came out with one.. went from going once a week a few years ago and giving it another try about once year. Miss the old las margaritas. Food quality has definitely gone down and this was before inflation and prices gone up so im assuming new owners in past few years but not 100% sure. read more

Las Margaritas - My two tiny thin napkins for my whole table when I asked for "extra" and by extra it was because one comes wrapped in the silverware. Stupid - Mexican Near Me - Columbia, Missouri

Food is good and the service as Well. You can seat inside or looking out at the lake! Big Bar seating area with a few TVs

Food has become inconsistent. Women's restroom was disgusting. Used to be a great place. Probably won't go back read more

Food is decent. Service was good. Margs decent. Manager was rude. Nice remodel inside. 45 min wait for what they said would be 15-20. Will go elsewhere next time. read more

5 freaking stars!!!! This place has incredible Mexican food. I'm from Phoenix, so I'm relatively picky when it comes to authentic Mexican food. However, Las margaritas blew me away. My favorite item is the arrows margaritas plate. This dish is stacked to the brim with three different types of protein, rice, bell peppers, onions, and all topped with a "healthy" serving of queso. The margaritas here are also fantastic!! read more

Molcajete special is SUPER delicious. My friend has the beef tip chimichanga and he says it's phenomenal. Drinks were spectacular and Rachel the bartender is the best around. The place is packed and apparently this is normal so plan to spend some time. I definitely recommend it. read more

The first 2 times I went were great The last two times have been disappointing at both locations in Columbia . Service fine but food and beverage lackluster. Love the chips salsa and guacamole tho read more

Great atmosphere and fresh food! Went on Cinco De Mayo was great!! And sitting outside by the lake made it even better!

Been here a couple of times for lunch. We sat outside on the patio and really enjoyed the ambiance. The food was good and the prices were reasonable. The margaritas were good but a little over priced. The service was good each time. Will come back again. read more

Food is fantastic. Service was great each time. I love being able to eat outside and look out at the lake. It's very serene.

Great food, great drinks, beautiful view and very friendly staff. My Dad and I checked this place out after being recommended by our Airbnb host. We were in town for Father's Day weekend. It was worth the short drive from Fulton to Columbia. We sat at the bar and both bartenders were very friendly and gave us exceptional service. We were so happy we came in for dinner! Started our trip off just the way we were hoping! Check this place out. read more

I am giving this one star because of my experience 2 hours ago. I may cool down and feel like giving a 2 star later. I still think their food is quite flavorful as compared to others in the area (after La Terraza of course ), the décor is attractive and the location quite tranquil. The service however lets them down. Most of the wait staff are polite but some can be aloof and appear disinterested. I ordered a pickup via GrubHub for lunch today as both of us (Me and the Mrs.) had a busy morning and then had meetings at 1:00 PM and we live less than a mile away. We ordered a Fajita and a Pozole. The pickup time was between 12:15 and 12:25. I reached at 12:26 to pick up and then the front desk person asked me to call GrubHub and inform that they are out of Pozole. I was quite stunned. This was something they had to do and when they received the order, not when I come to pick it up. Being the agreeable person, I mumbled about my 1:00 PM meeting and asked them if they could just substitute it with anything else. The person disagreed as the change in order must come from GrubHub. I asked him once again if he could give me the chicken soup instead as that was a dollar cheaper. He agreed to that immediately. Then it was a long awkward wait standing next to the front desk. Both of us were trying to avoid each other's gaze. After 20 mins of standing there the food finally came by 12:46 PM. I thanked the person and walked out without tipping (for the second time in my life). I felt somewhat guilty while driving back as it was probably not the fault of the kitchen staff. At that moment however I was terribly upset, picked up food which was a dollar less than what I paid for and did not get even get an apology for the whole ordeal. The chicken in the soup was significantly overcooked or maybe had stock extracted out of them earlier. Other than, the quantity of food was decent and the flavors consistent. However, it still left a bitter taste in my mouth. read more

I will never spend another dime here. I ordered nachos with chicken. For plain chicken nachos it was $15 and it says a different price on menu. I asked the manager about it and he was rude. He should have told me this when he took my order. Overpriced and completely ridiculous. Never again. read more

Food was ok. Service was ok. Waiter told us they didn't have fish, but it was clearly on the menu. Patio added nice ambience with view. But, overall it just didn't compare to similar restaurants in the area. read more

I ordered an enchilada and taco lunch. The food was good but a little salty for my taste. I will return.

Another effort to find the best tacos in town, we landed at Las Margaritas. So the restaurant was packed, a good sign I was hoping. The food was pretty good, but pricier than others. It was a step up from other Tex-Mex places around town, sure, but it still felt a bit over-priced. I had the al pastor tacos (my favorite type - and the type I am really hoping to find a solid go-to place). They were fine, bland, meh tortilla. We will likely go back, but maybe for something else besides tacos. The search continues! read more
