Stopped in here for a quick bite with my family this evening and really enjoyed the live music and Rusty realistic type decor. The chicken fajitas were very well marinated and tasty. Cold beers are great. The salsa could use a little help, but other than that we were quite pleased. read more

This is definitely my go to Mexican restaurant. I've been coming here pretty much since they opened, and my son was in a highchair. I love to come here because of the raspberry margaritas but when I came tonight, they didn't have any. I'm hoping they didn't get rid of them. I ended up getting a frozen peach margarita which was really delicious and I got the steak quesadillas. Both were equally delicious. Jonathan was our server and he said he'd only been there two days but he seemed like he's been doing it forever. He was very attentive and friendly. Again, I wish they would redo the bathrooms because they look pretty rough. I didn't sit in the bar area because there was live music and it was extremely loud so I ended up sitting in the dining area. They do have a cute little bar where I'm sure they have a lot of regulars that go there. If you haven't ever been there, I highly suggest giving it a chance. read more

This is hands down the best Mexican restaurant in the area! Their carne asada is the best I've ever had...just wish I could replicate it at home! Even the chips in a takeout order are warm, crispy, and delicious. The service is impeccable, too. The staff are all so friendly and we never have to wait for drink or chip refills. We'll be back soon! read more

Stopped by for a quick lunch. The food was good. I'm not a big guac fan and will only eat it table side I must say it was some of the best I've tried. The service was quick and I was asked how was my meal and encouraged to return. read more

ALWAYS Great food & service. We regularly drive the 45 min trek just to eat here! Our all time favs are Jody's Gold Chicken and the Mesquite Carne Asada. My husband could live off of their Spanish Chicken Soup alone! read more

This was our first time here today and everything was very tasty and fresh. The Spanish Chicken Soup was amazing and full of flavor and chicken and having the rice with it was a good combo. My Grilled Shrimp was overcooked but everything else was delicious. My hubby had the fish tacos and he loved them my kids had the Steak and Chicken Fajitas and they enjoyed them. The server was very friendly! We will definitely be back especially for the Spanish Soup. read more

Did not have the best service. Was brought out the wrong dish. The Al Pastor tacos were good everything else was inedible, did not taste fresh and almost rotten like. Tasted like it was reheated and old and sitting out for a while. read more

Service- no negative feedback. Ambiance- Typical Mexican decor. Food- I ordered a chimichanga with chicken served with beans and rice. The chimichanga was crispy, chicken was moist and flavorful. Verde sauce complimented my entree. The beans were silky, creamy and seasoned well. The rice was fluffy and flavorful. Price point- $15+tip. Worth the money paid for lunch. read more

Always a happening place where patio live music draws a crowd. Had many fun visits. Sometimes music is too loud though, so manager, keep a check on it. People prefer talking to each other in addition to the music. Food is very good. I loved my lunch version of chicken veggie soup with avacado for $7. Chips could have been thinner but good. Service can be slow when crowded. In afternoon, it was great. Put this on your list to try when weather is nice. Patio with music is fun! read more

Cleanliness is not a high priority . Salt shaker was so full of dirty food no salt came out . Margarita served in a Dirty beer mug. Gulf shrimp taco had only 4 tiny shrimp and not much else in it. Black beans was mainly liquid Hearty soup was mainly broth Over priced and poor quality food Very noisy Music in bar was good, but very loud Would give this place a negative 5 if possible read more

I've been wanting to check this place out for a while, so I decided to come for my birthday. The live music is a great vibe except if seated too close it becomes too loud. We got queso which was not good. It tasted like mac and cheese sauce which was interesting. The food was good, they put lots of cheese on top and inside of my chimichanga. Our server took his time taking care of us which might have been because it was later in the night. Nothing beats Cozumel but it was not a bad alternative read more

Great wait service. Terrible overpriced food. Ordered Shrimp & chicken fajitas...5 overcooked shrimp for $28. Chicken was boiled & bland. Rice oversalted. Vegetables appeared to be boiled also then thrown on the grill....worst Mexican food we've had in a long time...need a new chef! read more

I would give this place a 4 out of 5 stars. The atmosphere was amazing! From the host to the waiters to the owners I felt like they took real dedication to make everyone feel welcomed. Took us less than 5 seconds to get seated and since it was nice weather we asked to be seated outside. While in the meantime we waited on our food we had complimentary chips and salsa, had live music, and outside games like corn hole. The music was my favorite part as he let us do song request. I ordered the chicken chimichanga that came with beans and rice. The only con I had about the food was that the chimichanga was kind of soggy and the chicken kind of tasted burnt. Other than that I really enjoyed this place and would love to come back later in the day! read more

I'm lying here, on my comfy Hampton Inn bed, almost doubled over in pain. How could an appetizer and a veggie side fill me beyond full? Could it have been the 3 Tito's raspberry lemonades? Uh, maybeeeeee. After fighting Birmingham traffic (Huntsville may be the biggest city in Alabama but Birmingham definitely wins with traffic). I decide that I was done driving and chose to walk across the hotel parking lot rather than go back out into that mess. Good thing I wasn't driving - did I mention Tito's? It was super windy, yet I, and apparently most other diners, chose to eat outside on the large, semi covered patio. It was so windy that my extra crisp, extra delic chips were flying off of my table. I wasn't exceptionally hungry so I chose to stick with an app - quesadillas, to which I added carnitas. The 8 little wedges, served with lettuce, tomato, and a little guac and sour cream, didn't look like much but turned out to be way more than enough. They were absolutely delicious. Because I "only" ordered an app, I also ordered a side of street corn. I didn't really care for it, the cheesy "crust" was just too overpowering. I'd be remiss to not comment on the raspberry lemonade(s). They were good but all three were made differently, one being so tart it reminded me of the Atomic Sour candy my kids used to eat. If I had to do it over, I'd probably opt for one of the large variety of margaritas or another tequila drink. The girl at the front desk of the Hampton Inn recommended that I eat at Margarita Grill. She didn't steer me wrong - maybe y'all should offer her a referral discount! read more

This place is one of our favorite go to for Mexican food. They always have plenty of space and I love their outdoor seating for our kids. The outdoor area has fans when it's hot out and heaters when the weather cools down. Service is typically fast and at tentative. The food is a never fail. We have our usuals which for me is the mahi mahi sizzler. The rice is flavorful and different from the other local Mexican restaurants, which I love. Definitely recommend for the vibes and atmosphere. read more

stopped here to eat with a friend after volunteering at an event. had my foster dog with me and was hoping to sit on patio with her. we denied and told only service dogs. lame. plus the people at the front host bar seemed a little irritated and annoyed with me for asking. almost left for another place. wish we did. ordered a margarita off the special menu. after all the name says margarita. sandia loca - the worst margarita i ever had and the biggest waste of $9. actually two sips and gave it back bc it was awful. look, im 37 - i've had plenty of margs - and that one was disgusting got steak fajitas. oddly it came with soup? a bit pricier than most places at $33. steak quality seemed nicer than other places though. food okay. service okay. but probably wouldn't go back after all the diff things from my first time visit here. read more

The service here has gone down. I just got home from picking up an order of RJ's dip and it is runny and the beef is not in it. $40 wasted read more

Margarita Grill is usually one of my favorite establishments in Pelham. However, tonight was very frustrating. My waitress definitely had a language barrier. She brought me the incorrect drink. And when I brought it to her attention, she argued. Then I ordered dinner and mentioned soft tacos and when they arrived, they were meat only with no sauce and when I mentioned it, she said oh I thought she said no sauce that's what I realize she didn't understand English read more

If you are looking for authentic Mexican food, don't come here. The service was great and the restaurant itself was nice. There is live music every night and options for seating. You can sit outside on the heated patio, inside, and outback where it is pet friendly. The food itself was not the greatest. I am not a fan of mesquite charcoal and that is how they prepare all their meats. My kids got cheeseburgers with fries and I got chicken nachos. My kids did not like the mesquite patty so they barely touched their food. I was disappointed in the nachos overall because it was just chips with cheddar cheese on top, microwaved. Only reason we came here is because of the convenience, it was right by our hotel. read more

Great service, great atmosphere and good food. My wife got a drink on a recommendation from the server- really good. I had tacos- they were really good. Complementary chips and salsa were awesy- definitely homemade. If we're ever back we'll eat here read more

Nov 14, 2021 - Driving back from Arkansas, we stopped for the evening in Pelham (just So of Birmingham, AL). The Margarita Grill was outside our Hotel. Walking distance..... GOOD.... really didn't want to drive anymore !!. Parking lot was packed, inside was bustling with servers getting meals to tables. Very crowded. Food smelled good. Found seats at the bar, they immediately brought over some chips & salsa to munch on...(Salsa was very mild in heat but had good flavor). Good music playing. We ordered regular Margaritas...nice pour. Not too sweet. Then ordered Tamales for dinner. Moist and very, very tasty and full of flavor. Still needed to ask for "hot sauce"... but overall, delicious. Didn't get to the restroom to see cleanliness since we had the Hotel room across the parking lot. We did notice servers wiping down (sanitizing) the tables and seats though. It was good to see with Covid "still lingering". I would recommend Margarita Grill as a good place to have a meal and we would stop again when in the area. read more

I've been to Hoover, Alabama twice for work travel. Both times I came to Margarita Grill. Once for lunch, and once for dinner. Both times were good. For dinner they had live music outside which was really nice. It was country music and the weather was perfect and the atmosphere was great outside. My server was really nice and attentive, checking on me enough to always keep my drink full but not too much that it was annoying. I got a burrito in a bowl which was REALLY tasty. I got steak and the steak was good - not too tough or chewy, and all the rest of the ingredients felt fresh. The second time I went for lunch, and again sat outside. The atmosphere was nice and the waitress was attentive and quick and friendly. This time I got the taco salad, which was tasty and fresh. I definitely plan on coming back here on all my future trips to Hoover! It's got to be one of the best restaurants in the area. Oh also - free chips and salsa on the table right when you sit down. Awesome, A + !! read more

We went in today! I'll hit the high points.. Food was great! Staff was very friendly. Bathrooms were clean. Mask were optional for staff and guests. Restaurant area was clean - older looking.

Margarita Grill - Taco salad add rice and guacamole! - Bars Near Me - Pelham, Alabama

Me and my husband came around 7pm and was seated immediately. They gave us the choice of outside or inside and we chose outside. The outside sitting was nice but the tables were super close together so we could hear everything our neighbors were saying. We got sat by the big group and they were super loud. The group isn't effecting my score though. My husband got the Queso Flameado and it was really really good! I had a couple bites and I had wished I had gotten it instead. Super cheesy. I got the Gold Chicken and it was good, but the chicken tasted like smoked chicken, which is okay, just isn't my preferred way of eating chicken. Over all both me and my husband loved it and will be back the next time we're in town. read more

Wonderfully authentic Mexican restaurant. Service was amazing. They constantly refreshed salsa and chips and drinks. I highly recommend the Casa Cazuela, as the sauce is wonderful. The flour tortillas were fresh and homemade. They also have a beautiful outdoor patio that is covered, they have heaters and fans outside, and they say there is music nightly after 6 on the patio. We will be eating here again. read more

Great restaurant! Perfect food perfect service! Second time here and a party of 10 and still killed it!!! Will always come back when we are in the area. Thank You for being a dependable restaurant when most are struggling!! Be blessed read more

My husband and I came in with some friends. We were seated quickly, clean restaurant, and fast service. The tortilla chips taste fresh and are on the thinner side (which I prefer). Salsa was tasty, not too spicy. I will say it's a little on the pricier side for Mexican food. I ordered the Javier salad and they gave me an amazing amount of guacamole which is so appreciated. My husband got the quesadillas and he liked them. read more

Great food, good service, and friendly staff. First visit, if you are looking for authentic Mexican cuisine, I recommend it!!

Nice for a lunch but a little slow. I don't know if it was just our server or what we ordered (2 orders of fajitas, and a Cuban sandwich). Other tables seemed to be served quicker, and several tables seated at the same time or after turned while we were there. The Cuban sandwich was really good. While it wasn't the Cuban you get in Ybor City, it was pretty tasty. read more

3 chicken tacos...by themselves with no rice and beans is $30. THIRTY DOLLARS. Inflation or whatever but a plain chicken taco shouldn't cost $10. We just ordered them without looking at the menu thinking it would be a cheap option until we got the ticket. Yeah, won't be eating here again. read more

Love the atmosphere and food! Prices are a little high, but it's really good food. The smokey flavor of the chicken is amazing!

I tried this place out with a group of friends and acquaintances last week. Like many Mexican restaurants, we were almost immediately served salsa and chips. I really like their chips. They are thin and crispy. The salsa was good too. We also ordered their cheese dip, which was really tasty. For my meal, I ordered a chicken burrito that came with rice. The burrito was good. The rice was good, but it was just a tad bit salty. One of my friends got the table side guacamole and she let me try it. They put a pepper in the guacamole. I believe it was jalapeño. The guacamole was fresh and tasty, but I did have to add some salt to it. For our group to be around 14 people, we were constantly being given refills and being checked on. The service was friendly and fast. One of my friends ordered a drink that wasn't on the menu. It was called Liquid Marijuana. I tried a sip of it and it was pretty good. It tasted like it had rum in it. It's a bright blue drink. Overall, I liked this place and I probably visit again. read more

It is not a Mexican restaurant, it is more Latin food with Cuban and Brazilian dishes. Portions are small and the prices are quite high. The regular salsa is just tomato sauce and the spicy salsa has little flavor but has plenty of heat. The cheese dip is not typical queso blanco and is mostly flavorless. The main dish, a grilled chicken breast with cheese was good but not great. read more

The food is great! The margaritas are awesome! Service was... always coming by the table to see if you need anything else... Ambiance is good, you can sit outside and enjoy the weather... read more
