Enjoyed atmosphere. All items are homemade, including guacamole at table. Everything was excellent and reasonably priced. Will be back to try the sangria and many other dishes. read more

Margarita's Cafe - Arroz Con Pollo - Mexican Near Me - East Meadow, New York

I haven't been here in awhile so since it's Tuesday and they have margarita's for $2.95 between the hours of 4p-10p I decided to stop by and also order some tacos. It was not crowded, I was greeted at the door as soon as I walked in and seated right away at the bar and your served nice warm chips and salsa that has a nice spice to it. The house margarita's are not watered down, I ordered chicken tacos the tacos shell was not thick and hard the chicken had alot of flavor it taste great. I will definitely stop by again I know on Thursday night it's ladies night I have to check that out. read more

The best Mexican food I've ever had.And all the servers was so nice and helpful.I love this place.Thank you for a great meal.

I've been before so I suggested it for a quick dinner with my mom. veryyy crowded but only waited about 10 mins for a table. Food took a little long but came out steaming hot. I enjoyed the fajita combo (chicken, steak, shrimp) with a side of strawberry margarita but my mom could've used more flavor and spice in the jambalaya, the restaurant also is a little cold so it made it kinda uncomfortable while eating but other than that ... read more

From the moment you walk in, the energy is infectious. The décor is festive, the music sets the perfect mood, and the aromas coming from the kitchen are incredible. The margaritas cafe are, hands down, the best in town perfectly balanced and refreshing. We tried the burrito mojado and the Pollo Al aguacate every bite was packed with fresh, bold flavors. Also the calamari appetizer was so delicious (Polito) and (gringo) What truly took our night from "good" to "unforgettable" was our waiter, Polito. It is rare to find someone so attentive, professional, and genuinely charismatic. (Polito ) knew the menu inside and out and suggested the perfect pairings for our meal. He managed to be right there when we needed a refill without ever being intrusive He has a way of making you feel like the most important table in the room. His hustle and positive attitude are exactly what top-tier service looks like. Final Verdict Margarita's Café already has great food, but staff members like (Polito) and (gringo) are what keep customers coming back. If you go, ask for Polito's section--you won't regret it!!! read more

Been going to margaritas in east metal, for over 15 years. Willie, you need to bring back the original menu. Your new menu stinks. Your manager and the East metal store is not very pleasant. The food Now are small portions compared to what margaritas was. You made it big because of the taste. The menu and the size portions. Sorry to say you probably lost me as a customer. The only way I will come back. Cause you bring back the original menu. The new one is terrible. Sorry. But if you would see me you would know exactly who I again. Your menu needs to go back to the original way. read more

The enchiladas were very delicious and insanely filling. I'm not a fan of spicy food and was a little nervous because it came with "red sauce" but they were not spicy and still so tasty. We also got a pitcher of the passion fruit margarita which was so sweet and delicious. My boyfriend and I went for my birthday so they sang a song with some instruments and gave me a giant sombrero with a dessert and tequila shot overall a great experience with great service and food! read more

This restaurant exceeded my expectations!!!! I took my family to celebrate my mom's birthday and the whole experience was beyond amazing. Our waiter Ismael was very attentive and knowledgeable. He explained the menu.. food... drink and dessert. He was always checking on us very cheerful and helpful. The place is very well decorated and Spanish music makes it amazing. Just feels like dancing!! We will recommend this restaurant and Ismael service to anyone!!!! read more

Margarita's Cafe - Happy birthday Tres Leches - Mexican Near Me - East Meadow, New York

I placed an order with someone who did not understand anything I said. I tried to check the bag at pickup but everything was oily and spilling. I asked if tortillas were in the bag because I couldn't see and told yes. I came home to no tortillas for fajitas, three pieces of lettuce, half a teaspoon of tomatoes, and half a teaspoon of sour-cream. I called and spoke to Marvin, a MANAGER, who said it was my fault but I told him I couldn't even check the bag properly because it was oily and dark. Marvin then continued to YELL at me. This is the WORST experience and HORRIBLE customer service. The staff gets worse every time and messes up every order with no resolution. Do NOT recommend. read more

This place has pretty good food. Only thing is the noise here... the volume of the music, and everyone in the place speaking loudly to be heard over it, on a Friday night, can be overwhelming. Or I suppose it could be invigorating! It's all you... but as for me, I've heard it's much more chill and quiet in the afternoon at lunch time. I'll stick with that should I return. One thing I must say with no shame... that guacamole was one of the best I've ever had. And yeah, sure, I was hungry... I'll admit that. But you could taste these overtones of the white onion in there, and just enough kosher salt. See... I'm married to a Mexican. We've been married so long that I can make an awesome guac all by my lonesome gringo self. But this one... I don't even know if they can reproduce how perfect it was. I had the Burrito Mojado as a main. Tasty! Lots and lots of melted cheese... in my mind I was taking a long bath in a tub of melted queso... very good dish. I wasn't nuts about the sangria TBH, but I didn't think it was bad... just my taste. I think you should try it if you like sangria. My frozen Strawberry Daiquiri hit the spot though. Stayed nice and icy for a good, long time, too. So go... this place has it going on. Just beware of what time and day you're going there, as when the freaks come out at night, these MFs are really killing it. read more

Been going to this establishment for years and its always been good. Last night we ordered take out and I am not sure what happened. Though it tasted good the portions were embarrasssingly small. Normally I cannot finiah a combination plate. Last night I was still hungry. The chimichang was smaller than an egg roll, the flouta had 1 or 2 small pieces of chicken in it and the enchilada waa 95% tortilla. With the number of Mexican restraunts in the area, I will not be returning read more

I wanted to give an update. I'd like to give 3 1/2 stars. Did they change their recipe for the salsa they serve with the nachos? It actually tasted like it was from some pre-made can of salsa. It was not the delicious salsa they used to serve. Also, do not order Chardonnay while there. Do not! read more

One of the few Mexican restaurants that is authentic and fabulous. I love this place!! This place is perfect in regards to ambiance, food, value and hospitality. It is located inside a shopping plaza therefore ample parking space that is free of charge. My best friend chose Margarita's cafe for her birthday shenanigans and we all enjoyed every second we were here. Table service starts with complimentary colorful chips served with salsa. We ordered a margarita pitcher w/mango flavor (well worth the price). Food was just mouthwatering, I probably drooled when I saw my plantains and veggie enchiladas. Oh yes! Generous portions for hungry kids like me!!! Everyone enjoyed their food it was a perfect night out. Jose was our server and he was just amazing because he provided us with outstanding service (consistently checking upon us and making sure we were satisfied). Highly recommend this place if you're looking for delicious Mexican food. read more

I have been coming to this place for over a year regularly for happy hour served by the nicest bartender named Katia. Between her drink and happy hour empanadas served with sauce and cabbage things were popping. Recently our last visit we were greeted by new bartender watched carefully by the supervisor in the corner with stern look Drinks were carefully measured waited for approval from corner boss and empanadas which now looked frozen from Costco deep fried were served with a French dressing instead of an authentic shrimp sauce so much for authenticity read more

They were wonderful and the food was delicious. Highly recommend, great ambiance and very friendly service

I came on a Friday evening and sat at the bar. The decor is nice with different colors and Mexican decor. The music is good and not to loud so you can talk to people. They have happy hour at the bar from 4 to 7. I got 2 margaritas with salt. They both were good and costed $5.95 each. Then i got 1 beef taco and an order of empanadas. Both tasted very good and were $5 each on happy hr menu. The bartender was very nice and excellent service. The owner or manager was there and friendly guy. I will go back again and try more stuff. read more

The food was good, the environment is welcoming and drinks are fantastic. Always a good time at margaritas cafe.

Went at 430 on Tuesday.. place was empty yet service was extremely slow and we seemed to be bothering staff. We ordered table side guacamole and the person making it truly seemed to hate being there.. he also had the whole thing turned away so no one could even see it being done- which is the whole point. They were not friendly at all. The rest of the food was ok... The drinks tasted like premade mix's, very sugary. But we also all got sick that night. Would not go back. read more

Very good food Slightly on the salty side Very good service Nice dining atmosphere Very good drinks read more

Came here for a bite and a drink with a coworker. We're always looking for happy hour spots in the area. They don't have happy hour here, and the bar seating is limited (and was filled) so we opted for a table. Fun fact, you can also get alcohol at a table. It's reVolUtionAry. I swear. In the spirit, I ordered a white wine spritzer and my coworker I believe snagged herself a passionfruit margarita. It's ladies night on Thursdays and the speciality is $5 margaritas. Very good to know. Right away they brought over a fresh and warm plate of tortilla chips with salsa. No complaints there. After going over their quite large menu, I settled on the salmon salad and asked for the dressing on the side. My coworker ordered a flauta. The portions were huuuge! My salmon salad was simple, the fish a little on the dry side, but I was thoroughly pleased. The dressing was really flavorful and a great pairing to the fish. The mariachi band began performing as we were finishing our meal. They do come around and ask for requests. read more

Ok so here in the middle of this quarantine disaster, the team at Margheritas is still managing to maintain their amazingness. For the second time, they've sent us over an absolutely outstanding meal hand delivered by none other than awesome manager, Guillermo. They never cease to impress us with the loving fashion in which they take care of their customers. Guillermo actually reached out to us, knowing that my wife's condition puts her at high risk for COVID and offered to bring our favorite food to us at home. These people are so wonderful and we are grateful to God for them. Please please please support Margarita's and help keep these wonderful people employed throughout this disaster. read more

We have eaten here on many occasions and have been very pleased with the food and the service. Today, that all changed. We were promptly seated and brought drinks. We placed our order and received it within 10 minutes after ordering suggesting that the food was microwaved and not prepared fresh. The flour tortillas for my fajitas were definitely microwaved since they were dry and crispy. We never received our chips and salsa before our dinner and we weren't offered refills for our soft drinks. We were so disappointed in our experience that we decided to complain to the manager. Let me say that the restaurant was not crowded, nor was it busy so there was no reason for such a terrible experience. The Margarita restaurant in Wantagh offered a much better experience and I will be dining there in the future. read more

My husband and I were looking for a quick bite late evening on a Friday. It was 11:15pm and we noticed Margarita's Cafe was still open ( noted time on Yelp). I was always curious to try this place so we decided to give it a try. There were three customers sitting at bar chatting with the bartender and having drinks so we figured we could at least try a drink. Unfortunately, the moment we stepped in the bartender instead of greeting us quickly began to tell us they were closed. Before she had a chance to finish telling us, a gentleman who appeared to be the manager told us that the restaurant was closed and apologized. I'm all about customer service and this experience has really turned me off. My best advice is to call ahead and make sure it's still "open" because unfortunately like many businesses when it's not managed by the owner "management" and workers tend to work as they please. read more

My family and I have been enjoying Margarita's cafe for over 20 yrs. Service is always the best and the ambiance is also great. While waiting to use the male restroom, an employee walked out of the female restroom wearing gloves and went into the kitchen. A moment later a male employee walks out of the male restroom wearing gloves and he too walks into the kitchen. I hope they wasn't our chefs. Either way infection control was not practiced. My family and I will not eat there again. read more

LITERALLY ONE OF MY MOST FAVORITE PLACES. I have been many times & it used to be my go to anytime I visited the island before moving here. Now that I am out in Brooklyn any chance I get to come here for dinner I do. The guacamole is amazing and made right at the table to your preference. The margaritas are amazing (and strong). They have a great brunch deal with a fun champagne punch on the menu. I ordered for takeout over the weekend and everything was just as good as it would be if we were able to eat in. An added bonus was the take out pitcher of margaritas! read more
