This was previously my favorite Mexican restaurant in Smyrna, that title, however, recently migrated to another spot. Nevertheless, Margarita House remains a solid choice in the area with good service and a pleasantly busy vibe. When first opening, the food was pretty stellar, but as years have gone on, the quality has dipped slightly. Overall, good choice. It's certainly mine on occasion. read more

We came in for Cinco de Mayo and it was super packed, which is awesome! I love seeing local restaurants packed on days like these. We waited about 30 minutes for a table, which wasn't too bad all things considered. Our table of three split two pitchers of margaritas, they were only okay. Just your standard pre-mix stuff, nothing special. We ordered some guacamole with our chips and it was pretty tasty, but felt like it was lacking avocado. For dinner, I ordered a few chicken and chorizo tacos. The chorizo was good, but the grilled chicken was so bland. I tasted the tortillas and onion more than the chicken. Extremely underwhelming. Our server was great though and we didn't wait on refills of drinks or chips. I just wish the food was as good as the service. read more

Margarita House - Tried something new today, margarita sopes. Appearance was awesome, tasted just as good. Anything you get here is well worth it. - Mexican Near Me - Smyrna, Tennessee

I'm giving it 5 stars. I was definitely not disappointed. I read some of the other reviews, but I love places like this. At this time of day, it's quiet, and attention is paid to the few tables in here. The service was quick, and the server was friendly enough. The food is cooked perfectly for me. The meat is tender, and the veggies still have a little crunch. The only fopa was asked for no rice(I don't eat rice), and I did mention it to the server. I did receive it on my plate, but it was quickly taken back and made correctly with a lot of apologies. (I'm going with force of habit ‍) I was going to go to another Mexican restaurant in town that I used to go to many years ago, but a friend said to try this place and I won't be disappointed. I'm not disappointed!! I will be back next time I'm passing through this way and want Mexican food. read more

We were greeted immediately and promptly seated. Our waiter was efficient and made sure we were taken care of in a timely fashion which stood out because of how busy they were. We had a variety of tacos with a side of beans and rice and it was all fantastic! We will definitely try something different next time as they have many options to choose from. I do like that they offer both indoor and outdoor seating options too! That is always a plus! read more

We had a large group of around 40 people following a baseball tournament. They gave us a portion of the patio. They had everything set up and everyone was seated very quickly. Two waiters were assigned to us, but many others chimed in to help. They were pretty organized for handling such a large group. Drinks, appetizers, and food all came out very quickly. It was accurate, hot, and good! read more

Unexpected flavor and great service! We are regular Mexican food fans, and my husband and I often share fajitas. We agreed these are probably the most flavorful ones we have had in a long time. We also really enjoyed our drinks - Strawberry margarita for him, Paloma for me. Our waitress was very helpful and friendly. We would definitely recommend this place. read more

Never visit this location, but visit with my friends and was not happy with the waiter. The waiter had no customer service, didn't ask how we were or how's your day, just ask what we like to drive and went back to working the table and the bar. Even when we wanted to make an order to go, he told us to wait, we will not revist this place read more

Always delicious, always fast and friendly service! The chicken and mushrooms or the Santa Fe salad are my top picks.

Food and service were great. First time at the restaurant my family I will definitely be back.

I went to this place on a beautiful Saturday afternoon; nice lunch crowd with people constantly coming and going; that is, everyone but the servers. They were slow to say the least and after we paid our check we literally sat there for an additional 45 minutes without anyone asking if we needed anything; we even tried to stop our server or anyone else to no avail. The food was tasty but not as plentiful as other Mexican restaurants I visit. Please note also, everything is extra, possibly napkins because you can not understand the charges. Will not frequent again due to these things. read more

Me and my boyfriend go in this Mexican spot all the time we went in yesterday morning and had a server that was no so good , he never refilled our drinks and checked o us 1 time, we were done eating and we waited 15 minutes for our check , when we got it I left NO tip because the service was HORRIBLE , this morning I wake up to see the server put his self a 5$ tip... I called and spoke with Pabalo, and he acted as if it was no big deal. I'm a server myself and that is unacceptable! He told me he would call back, an hour passed, and I had to reach back out to him. He said come up here I can give you 5 dollars not I'm sorry or nothing. It was the principle when a customer puts 0 its 0 you do not add in your own tip that is STEALING!!!!!!!!! WILL NOT BE GOING BACK! read more

Good food, reasonable prices, descent service, fair portions. However there was no a/c running and tge whole place was extremely hot. I don't know if it's always like this but it was extremely uncomfortable eating in that heat. If going, call first and ask if the a/c is running. If not, I'm sure there are other air conditioned Mexican restaurants. read more

We all enjoyed our drinks and food! Everyone was very nice. I wish I didn't get the chocolate on the flan, but I highly recommend the flan! It's great consistency and a good size for sharing! Next time we will get the cheese dip. Every table around us had some! read more

We came here for lunch right when businesses began opening back up from COVID-19. It was one of the only restaurants open for dine-in. We got chips, salsa, queso, margaritas, and meals. It was all delicious! Our server was excellent and we were politely greeted upon entry and exit by multiple staff members. I wish i had taken more pictures but i got one of the MASSIVE burrito i ordered. So good! read more

The food is good, however the service is terrible. Our waiter was all over the place instead of attending to us. I don't think I'll be back again! read more

On par with the worst service I can recall ever receiving! Food seems pre cooked. Manager was extremely rude. What a waste of energy! With so many Mexican places around, it's hard to believe they act like that read more

This one is the best in their chain in my opinion. Don't let the location fool you. They are quick, accurate, and their menu has something for everyone. The food always tastes fresh and their customer service is outstanding. I believe this is the best spot for Mexican food in this part of Tennessee. read more

Great food and drinks along with fantastic service. Strongly recommend, coming from Texas this has an authentic Mexican food taste.

This is my go to spot for Mexican. We're here practically every weekend. I usually get the Shrimp Tinga dip . I also get a burrito supreme also . The food is always hot, fast and delicious. We will not stop coming read more

This is one Restaurant you will add onto you Go to List. Give it a try and Let me know what you think. read more

We've been going to Margarita House for well over 10 years, and never had a problem. Things changed this past Saturday evening when all in my party came down with symptoms of FOOD POISONING after eating there. (Diarrhea plus vomiting but no fever). None of live in the same household. And the only common denominator is that we all ate at Margarita House at the same time. Does anyone know if Smyrna has any kind of "Board of Health" or other city agency we can report this to ?? read more

This place is always busy... because it's always good. Best Mexican food in Smyrna, top shelf margaritas are great, and it's always consistent. The only downside is parking, when it's full... your SOL. read more

We've lived in the area now for three years. Margarita House was recommended by our realtor. We have enjoyed much great food and drinks with friends and family. Unfortunately, this is the second occasion that we have experienced very unfriendly staff. What should have been an enjoyable dinner/drinks with friends turned into a unpleasant experience, thanks to Evonne, our waitress. We have noticed in our last few visits that not many of the staff ever smile. Not sure what is going on, but I think it may be time for us to find another restaurant for our Hispanic cuisine. read more

Food is always delicious and drinks are wonderful! The staff is polite and quick. This is by far, my favorite Mexican restaurant!

I debated between 2 and three stars. I guess 251 because I definitely don't think that the meal and services worth the price. I came here on a Saturday at noon, and the place was pretty scarce on customers. The hostess was friendly and I was seated quickly. Regardless, it took a relatively long time for a server top approach me, and I didn't get chips and salsa until I asked for them about five minutes after being seated and ordering and receiving my drink. The salsa was nice and spicy and fresh. The food was barely mediocre and the service was average. My server was slightly helpful, but also inattentive. I ordered a fried tamale and a quesadilla lunch special. The fried tamale was burnt, and the cheese sauce that covered it was already getting cool when it was placed in my table. The quesadilla was good and cheesy though. Just look at the pictures for more details. The best oart of the meal was the watermelon margarita. It was still delicious and I was well pleased. To end a meal, my check was delivered in a sticky dirty checkbook. There's a picture of that as well. I didn't even want to touch it, but in order to leave I had to. Thank goodness for pocket size hand sanitizer. I only learned about this place because I recently visited the one in Mount Juliet. The food and drink was exceptionally well at that location. This one is stretching for mediocrity. Simply put, I won't be returning to this location. read more

Love Margarita House!!! I've been for lunch and dinner and highly recommend!!! Atmosphere isn't anything out of this world, but it's cozy, staff is friendly and the food is delicious! read more

Fajitas were great! Chips, salsa, and guac were all good too. The skinny margarita had too much orange for my taste but was otherwise good.

We live in Colorado now but when we're in the area we always come back. Compared to the Mexican places at home the food has so much more flavor and the portions are huge and the price is ridiculously low for what you get. I think the bar is set so high in Tennessee for Mexican food that everyone is super critical. I know about other places like Camino Real but I also like this place. read more

Both locations LaVergne and Smyrna service sucks. They drop off your food and check on you 20 minutes later.. food is not that good. Only thing that is good is there salsa. So gave them to many chances. Done with them I'll stick to my OG Mexican spots.. El Rodeo has never failed good service and food is always on point at el rodeo. read more

My first time here and probably my last. This place has been here awhile to which I never paid attention or didn't have an interest in coming here. Now I know there is still no interest in this place. My usual Mexican joint is Camino Real but I was very hopeful that this place would be a close second if not better. Boy was I disappointed. The service was slow. The food was gross and bland. The chips were stale and the salsa tasted like it came out of a jar. I ordered fajitas Texanas and there was no flavor. The flour tortillas were hard, tough, and dry. My husband got the shredded chicken chimichanga. Again, the tortilla was hard,tough, and dry. The best thing we had were the grilled jalapeños and the margaritas. The margaritas were strong enough to get you feeling relaxed. Needless to say I will probably not be back. read more

"Wasted away again in Margarita House - not me - couple of regulars at the bar..." But it was all good...they weren't obnoxious...less so than the man chewing with his mouth open directly in my line of sight... Early evening visit because we hadn't had Tex-Mex in awhile. We had been shopping ALL DAY LONG...well 2 or 3 hours. We have been here before and it was good. I don't know if it was because we hadn't eaten anything since that Egg McMuffin and oval formed potato patty at 9:00 am (don't judge) or if was because we hadn't had Mexican food in so long, but the fajitas were amazing. We used to frequent another restaurant for our fajita fix, but it was starting be come out as grilled onions and peppers and a few strips of meat. These had a perfect balance - heavy on the chicken. The pieces were also more plump and juicy, not stringy slivers - veggies cook perfect - just this side of crunchy - meat and veggies had the perfect amount of char as well. We always order cheese dip and love salsa (theirs is good and spicy, much to my liking!) - so we share a single order of fajitas every time. At the other restaurant I made reference to, I think when couples do that, they intentionally reduce the amount of food on the skillet - to encourage you to order 2 the next time or the double - either that or the waiter snacks on yours while he is waiting for your beans and rice to come out off the kitchen. Atmosphere here is OK - used to be a Burger King, so everything is retro-fitted with a couple of add-on patio dining areas, but the artwork is amazing - or not...your basic south-of-the-border theme - a little dark inside as the fast food windows have been closed up or painted over with bright colors. I would REALLY like to see an economical Mexican restaurant that is decorated a little less gaudy. I'm fine getting my taste of the culture from the food - not the faux stucco and endless paintings of cactus (cacti?). Starting to decline a little in service and aforementioned serving size, but it is still good. Most of the times we eat out we aren't in a huge hurry - well unless we are hangry (hungry/angry)... Their margaritas are good - they should consider some way to promote them better... read more

Great Food and service. Every thing was made to order and very authentic. Staff is very friendly and professional.
