I drove about two hours to try Las Margaritas, and it was definitely worth the trip. I ordered the torta de lomo, the aguachiles verdes, and the tostadas de ceviche de pescado, and everything was delicious. The torta de lomo was honestly my favorite out of everything I tried -- the flavor was amazing. The staff was very nice and welcoming, and the restaurant itself was a little bigger than I expected but still felt very homey. Their food reminded me a lot of San Juan de los Lagos, which makes sense since that's what their food is based on. I'm really glad I made the drive and I can't wait to go back and try more from their menu. read more

As I walked in I was greeted by a young lady and possibly her dad. They were sitting at the tables in the entrance. They assisted me right away. The girl took my order immediately and gave the price of the food I was going to order. She told me to sit anywhere. Menudo was about $15 and it was a decent size. Comes with tortillas or bolio. It was delicious. They sell drinks in cans or bottles. The food did not take long at all. She checked up on me while I was eating. She was very friendly. When I finished there was a lady with an apron sitting in the entrance table with the same man that I assume was the dad. They thanked me for eating there and said goodbye. Great experience. read more

Friendly owner made us the taquitos specialty. He told us he's been here for 26 years! Taquitos dorados come with a huge portion of cabbage, lomo, tomato, jalapeños & CUERITOS smothered in crema. They also carry Mexican treats - cocos, cajeta, guayaba paste, sesame snacks etc. Tasty regional style taquitos to San Juan. First time trying these, will definitely be returning. read more

We stumbled upon this spot after a... long night and we were in desperate need of some comfort food. We first looked on Google and saw that it had pretty good reviews so my friend headed over. I then checked it out on hers and saw that it also had good reviews, but seemed like a limited menu. It didn't worry me since we were all just looking for some soup but after my experience I can safely say that what they do offer is cooked to perfection and no part of the meal is lacking love. It's better to master 10 - 15 items then to have 40 options that are meh. The service was amazing. The staff was friendly, happy to ask questions and also very happy to make somewhat custom orders (for a burrito). They were also very attentive. The space in here was limited but it was still comfortable. I had the pozole, my husband had the menudo and we also shared their breakfast plate that came with beans, rice, sour cream, delicious salsa and an egg mixture that had onions, peppers and ham. All amazing. It's also came with this fresh bread that was so soft and delicious. We were very hungry so we were very happy that we ordered that. My gf also got some shrimp tacos that were delicious and also unique. They came with this salsa (a different one from what came with my plate but it was perfect for shrimp tacos). The burrito was made with potatoes, beans, Carne Asada, onions, peppers and cheese. The waitress was so happy to help my friend create this order. And it turned out amazing. We all had giant bottled cokes..and it brought us back to life. As we left the server overhead me say that I thought that my mom would lobe to try their food and stopoed and gave me a card for her. Lastly, you know the food is good when you don't take pics but just devour it. But it all look great as far as presentation went. 9/10 will try again. Only reason that it isn't 10/10 is because I'm not close enough to eat here as often as I wish I could. read more

First, we found it by mistake. We asked if they were open, the said of course come in!! Service was immediate, they were slow so they waited on us hand & foot! We thought by the name Las Margaritas, it was a bar, so we almost walked past it. Ok. The FOOD!! was like OMG!! without a doubt the best Jalisco style ever!!! Great chicken & pork with their own house made sauces!! The tortillas had to be made in house because they were SO FRESH!! Their Molé Poblano & Chicken Molé were the BEST!! Ambiance was terrific. I kept wanting to eat on the patio because it was so quiet, but they were so friendly and talking about how they cooked their traditional menu it was amazing!! Five stars plus!! for Las Margaritas!! A definite return to!! read more

Las Margaritas Restaurant - Cueritos, lomo and tacos de papa. - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

The food here is amazing. We love the tostadas de lomo and the plato de cueritos con lomo.

This place is a hole in the wall. My friend has lived in the area his whole life and passed by this place all the time. We decided to stop by to check it out and we were really timid about eating in but pulled the trigger anyways. We walked in on a Tuesday afternoon and it was empty inside with the exception of the two owners eating on one of the tables. They were kinda surprised when we walked in and were willing to dine in. My friend asked if they had enchiladas which we soon realized after that they didn't but the lady was able to whip them up anyways. I ordered the torta and both dishes were really good. We were surprised. It's not a very open welcoming location but the food was good which ultimately matters. read more

Snuggled smack dab in the center of Boyle Heights, Las Margaritas serves up dishes that are not so much inspired by the cuisine of Central Mexico, but near-exact replicas. Don't expect to find menu items displayed against a wall, or even listed in a traditional hand-out menu. You either have to ask the proprietor to recite the menu or take note of the highlighted items on their exterior windows (it's Mexican food -- you most likely know what you want before you get there). The bare interior is reminiscent of an 80's horror flick, which would help to explain why most orders are called-in and then picked up. If you dare to dine-in, prepare to be dazzled by their selection of glass bottle soft drinks imported from Mexico (yes sir, that's real sugar cane in them there soda pop). Don't let the medium-weight paper plates distract you from the spectacular (under $5) stars of the show: their tortas, tostadas and flautas. Most noticeably, these items are unlike popular versions in that they are drenched in crema (the Mexican version of creme fraiche). It certainly makes for a great take on some well-established Mexican faves! read more

Soy de San Juan de Los Lagos y mi debilidad son los tacos dorados y las Tortas, la comida es deliciosa pero el servicio al cliente es pésimo la señora tiene mucha actitud a excepción del señor el si tiene buena manera de atender los clientes. ya van 3 veces que tengo mal experiencia y creo que ya no serán más por que no pienso regresar a ese lugar aún que la comida este buena, 1. Llame para ordenar y el teléfono lo contesta de mal modo. 2. compré 6 órdenes de tacos y 3 tortas y solo me dio dio dos vasitos chiquitos de chile le pedí más me dijo, ya te puse y yo le dije si pero solo 2 me puede poner más no importa que me los cobres a lo que el dueńo escucho y al ver todo lo que llevaba, rápido fue y me dio un vaso grande de chile y me dijo quieres más y le dije no, esta bien así, cuanto es?? me dijo no como cree nada así esta bien y si gusta más estamos a sus órdenes, si me moleste ese día pero la buena actitud del señor me hizo que regresará otra vez y esta vez ya fue lo último mande a mi hijo por tacos y también me dijo que le dio mucha actitud la señora y cuando mi hijo llegó a casa con los tacos ni un solo vaso de chile, no tenedores servilletas nadaaaa si eres de San Juan sabrás que el chile es el toque final que hacen los tacos Tengan ese sabor auténtico. No me quedó otra que ponerle Tapatio an mis tacos y obvio arruino el sabor. Cabe mencionar que les recomendé ese restaurante a mucha gente de San Juan y a mis hermanas y más de uno me a dicho lo mismo la señora tiene mucha actitud. read more

This place is legit! Try the gorditas with chicharon, damn they're good! Christian's and Heather's stay away from here! This is real Mexican food not Taco Bell read more

This is the strangest place. It looks like a sit-down restaurant and there is table service, but they don't have menus, anywhere. Not on the wall. Nothing. The waitress seemed shocked that we didn't know what we wanted. I ordered beef tacos (seemed safe enough) and got taquitos with a HAM SALAD. That's right. Ham salad. My husband and son both got burritos. So I guess those are safe to order. My husband said his was good and my son ate his. I picked at my ham. For two burritos and a ham salad it was quite expensive. $27 plus tax and tip. The waitress only spoke Spanish, and there are no menus to point to what you want, so if you aren't fluent In Spanish I don't recommend coming here. My husband's first language is Spanish but he and the waitress had a hard time communicating, so when I say fluent I meant really fluent. read more

I grew up living next door to both of the San Juan native owners of this little gem. Back in my days, he made these amazing meals from his home and sold them. Lucky US! Now, they have Las Margaritas Rest. to share the goodness with anyone who dares. I say dare because, it's a tiny place with no menu. You kina just have to know, or care to ask what they serve. They make these amazing taquitos topped with lomo, cueritos, fresh tomates, crema and queso fresco, cabbage and some really tasty red hot sauce. AMAZING! They also have gorditas de chicharon, tortas de lomo, tostades de cuerito or lomo, or both. If you're ever in Boyle Heights and want something different, stop by Las Margaritas. You won't regret it. read more
