    Margarita
    Erica S.

    We've recently noticed this place being busy since being finished. Figured we'd try it on a week day after lunch. The menu is more interior Mexican than Tex mex. Definitely much to choose from with generous portions. A bit in the pricey side. We had the lunch portion of chicken fajita nachos, which were absolutely delicious. And Barbacoa quesadillas. We may pop in again if nearby.

    Another great experience at Margarita Jones. The Happy Hour is the BEST. I was naming all of the wait staff individually, but I must stop because everyone from the people who bring our salsas ( red and green), too the the wait staff, and bar tenders give four-star service. They rank up there with the best! I want to high light another great experience at Margarita Jones! MJ also has beautiful ambience. This our go to destination.

    **This is a 3.5 Star rating** We came here for lunch on a Saturday after giving this restaurant a few weeks to get settled in, and we enjoyed the experience. First, they did a bang up job in converting this building from a Hooters to a bright, fun Tex-Mex joint. It's clean and airy. Service is also exceptionally friendly. The food here is quite delicious too -- chimichanga, enchiladas, chipotle shrimp -- all very good. The cilantro rice and traditional Mexican rice are also nice sides, as are the charro beans. So why the 3.5 stars? For starters, that's a really good rating (from me), but it has to do with the chips and salsa. While both are fine, the chips are essentially Tostitos. They're served at room temperature, and they obviously come from a bag. I prefer the ones that are fried in the kitchen and served warm. (After all, this place's calling card is "Fresh Tex-Mex.") The red salsa is decent here, but it's served warm. This practice was pioneered by the Papasitos chain. Though many people like it, I don't, because salsa that is warmed tends to lose certain flavor elements. Further, it doesn't taste "fresh." -- The green salsa here is served cold, and it has more bite than a pit of rattlesnakes! If you're a chile head, this is the sauce for you! I wish this business all the best, and I intend on being a regular customer.

    Holy cow. I have found my New Mexican restaurant. This place had the most amazing salsa I've ever had. It was warm and had big chunks of onion and other goodies. The queso, guacamole and green sauce were delicious and honestly I could just eat my body weight in the dips alone The fajitas came out hot and fresh. The beef was tender and had amazing flavor, as did the chicken. I ordered the cilantro rice and that was good, too (and I'm not a big rice eater!) All the bartenders and servers looked like they enjoyed their jobs and were friendly and fast! We never ran out of anything, or even got low on drinks before someone was bringing us fresh ones. The restaurant itself is clean and way bigger on the inside than it looks on the out. The bar seating was on point! After we left I signed up to be a rewards member and get $10 off our next order. Needless to say, we'll be back! Great job!

    First off the service is outstanding! We sat down on a Saturday night around 6:30. We immediately had our server Zaria attend to us. Then one of the managers came up right behind her and asked if we needed a drink. We said already gotten taken care of. Several managers checked on us and all of the tables. I got the chicken fajita enchiladas and my husband got the cheese enchiladas, both excellent! My husband also got an old fashioned and margarita on rocks. He said they were both excellent. They have 4 salsas. I mixed the green verde spicy with the warm red one it was so good. I definitely recommend coming here.

    They like it spicy Most of the menu items are spicy. Even the rice and beans. They have a nice happy hour but I'm not sure what you would like of you don't like spicy food.

    As soon as we entered, we were greeted with a smile, seated fast. Food came out hot ! Good quality ingredients, and exquisitely clean bathroom! We were pleasantly surprised when we saw a handmade corn tortilla. Queso blanco was really good. Get the fried beans instead of the charros, the fried beans have a better flavor.

    The customer service was great, my husband and I went for lunch. Bosky (my be spelling and pronouncing it wrong) he made the experience great, let us try different sauces. Food was okay, I felt like it could have more flavorful but by no means gross. The ambiance was good, food came out quickly. Pricing a little more expensive than I would like. I would return for the ambiance and a cocktail. The Paloma was on point.

    Had a great experience. The food was very high quality. Had the chicken Tinga Taco, one of my favorites. Service was great. Manager spent a lot of time talking to us and explaining the process of opening the restaurant. The decor is is well done. Nice patio area. TVs to watch games. Bar area is large and festive. We will definitely be back.

    Sopapilla was amazing had rum sauce (perfection)

    The waitress Janet was very helpful and knowledgeable. I informed her it was our first time there. Everything we ate was definitely 10 out of 10. Janet also had a great friendly personality which made it easier to talk to or ask recommendations. I told her I was pescatarian and she gave me her top 3 favorites. My bf prefers Asian food over Mexican food but Janet recommended the burrito .... Now my BF is a Mexican food fan and says we will definitely be back . Will hopefully get our new favorite waitress

    We came to Margarita Jones on their second day of opening and were seriously impressed! The layout of the place is beautiful, modern, welcoming. We sat at the bar and were lucky to be helped by Devon, who was not only a great bartender/server but also super attentive and friendly. Shoutout to Brendan and my girl Samantha, she makes the best drinks! One thing that really stood out was how well-staffed they were. Everyone on the team was jumping in to help, which made the whole experience feel smooth and well-run, even though they'd just opened. As for the food, phenomenal. I shared the fajitas, and they were fresh, flavorful, and came out sizzling hot. We also took advantage of their happy hour deals, which were awesome. Margaritas for only $6? Yes please! I've been on the hunt for a really good go-to Mexican spot in the area, and I'm happy to say Margarita Jones checks all the boxes. We'll most definitely be back!

    Food: 4/5 Service: 4.5/5…read moreAmbiance: 5/5 Overall: 4.3/5 Definitely solid Tex-Mex. I'll start off with the positive. This place is extremely inviting and creates the vibe immediately from the moment you stop outside. The fajita beef is SO GOOD this is definitely a must get if you're eating in the restaurant since it is so hot and tender when it comes out on the sizzling platter. In fact, most of the dishes are good. The appetizer we got (I believe it was the Nachos Compuestos) was not my favorite, since I think the ratio of frijoles to everything else is a little overwhelming, but it was still good. The only thing I didn't like from the large amount of food we got was the fish taco. It was just kind of dry and fishy. Not very good or fresh tasting at all. I hope this was just a fluke and it usually tastes good, but it stands out as by far the weakest dish on otherwise great meal. I was actually a little skeptical of this place and thought it would just be like any other Tex-Mex. And in some ways it is. But man do I just love their fajita beef so much that I would go back for that alone!

    Lupe Tortilla - Kemah Review…read more There are restaurants where the meal begins the moment you walk through the door, and there are restaurants where the welcome feels like an invitation to reconsider your life choices. At Lupe Tortilla in Kemah, our host was gracious and welcoming. We asked if we could sit at the bar, and we were happily shown to two seats. So far, so good. Then came the bartender. She greeted us with the sort of expression usually reserved for someone who has just backed into your car in the parking lot. Plates and chips were tossed onto the bar--technically within the vicinity, though apparently not within reach. We were then asked if we wanted drinks. We ordered a dressed draft beer and a 50/50 Rita. The beer arrived beautifully cold and perfectly poured. The margarita, however, was roughly 90% frozen and 10% margarita--the precise opposite of what we were hoping for. It wasn't exactly the warm beginning one hopes for when settling in for dinner. The food may yet have a chance to redeem the evening, but hospitality is part of the recipe. And when the first course is indifference, even a good meal has a little climbing to do.

    I recently had my first visit to Red River Cantina, in League City, Texas. I was primarily looking…read morethrough yelp for a restaurant that served Tex-Mex, and this was the first restaurant that popped up in my area with a "very good" rating. As I write this review, this restaurant currently has a rating of 4.0 stars with 380 reviews. Before coming, I also reviewed several pictures that other folks have posted on yelp, and I thought I'd give this place a try. The outside of this restaurant is well lit and inviting. Parking is plentiful, and they have several handicapped parking spots for folks who need that. Upon entry, I was immediately seated in one of their booths by their hostess. The busboy came out a few minutes later, bringing some fresh chips and two kinds of salsa. The busboy didn't seem too friendly; he didn't say a word or even crack a smile. My waitress came out a couple of minutes later, and her name was Eliza C. She was friendly and professional, and she was attentive to my dinnertime needs throughout my experience. The chips and salsa they serve here are amazingly good. While I decided what I wanted to eat for dinner, I couldn't stop eating them! I ordered one of their "Maximina's Build Your Own Cominados," choosing an order with two items. For my two items, I ordered an enchilada with beef picadillo, and I ordered a crispy taco with beef picadillo. I ordered my meal with a side of their Mexican rice and refried beans. I also ordered a Dr. Pepper with my meal. My meal was delicious. The refried beans were excellent, and they had a smoky/bbq taste to them. The Mexican rice was delicious as well. They did an excellent job on my enchilada and taco, and they provided a generous filling with beef on both. They were delicious as well. The Dr. Pepper was also refreshing, and I appreciated that they served it in a glass rather than a plastic mug. One thing I noticed in their menu is that they appear to pay attention to folks who have vegetarian and/or gluten free needs in their diet. This doesn't effect me, but it is appreciated, so kudos to the management for that. Unfortunately, I also noticed that they require a mandatory "large party fee" for parties of 8 or more, which is 20%. This didn't effect me either, but it would be annoying to me if I were in a large party. I think this is unnecessary, presumptuous, and a little annoying. It is essentially a tip that is mandatory, regardless of the quality of the food or the service. If you have a large party, just make sure you don't add another tip on top of this mandatory tip (for the large party) without realizing this. The management should reconsider this annoying practice. Overall, I had an excellent (almost perfect) experience here. I would definitely come here again the next time I'm in the area. In addition to this review, be sure to check out all my pictures if you'd like to get more detail on this location, some of which are attached to this review.

I noticed it was HUGE but I just thought they were generous with their drinks. When we received the check, I was charged $16.95 for this drink. I asked our server about the price difference and she stated "Oh, I gave you the Grande." OK, thank you but that's NOT what I ordered. Granted, maybe I didn't specify a size so that's my fault but she shouldn't have ASSUMED I wanted the grande size. It was too much for me so my husband had to finish it. I didn't make a big deal about it because I worked in the restaurant industry myself so I try to be kind and respectful but I think seems very sneaky to me. The server should ALWAYS ask what size they want and not assume they want the larger size. That's up-charging. I also wanted to mention that we received a FREE watermelon margarita on the rocks because I think they had an extra which we gladly accepted and weren't charged for. But that doesn't compensate for the $5 upcharge. Most people say I should have contacted the manager but I didn't want to make a big deal over $3 but it's the principle to me. It's just not honest and I don't like that. We still tipped her over 22% but I'm rethinking that now. Maybe I should have deducted that $5 from her tip since I think it was an intentional up-charge. Oh well... As far as the food, we ordered the brisket enchiladas. They were OK. We didn't love the barbeque drizzle on top of the sour cream sauce. It really threw off the flavor in our opinions so that was a bummer. The white queso, chips and salsa were all on-point! We go out to Tex-Mex restaurants every week and the other restaurants don't give us the larger size so it just seems sketchy. I don't think we'll be back for awhile because this left a bad taste in my mouth. Disappointing.

We sat there for 15-20 minutes waiting for someone to come back and even take our drink order. Nothing. What made it worse was watching multiple servers walk right past us without ever making eye contact or checking on us. We finally got up, moved to the bar, and ordered our food there instead. We did let the hostess know about our experience, but no manager or staff member ever came over to apologize or even acknowledge the situation. Really disappointing considering how long we've supported this place.
