Stumbled across this little gem this week when I spotted it across the street from a new Chiro doc I am seeing. I didn't see breakfast tacos on the menu when I walked in, but decided to ask. The staff was so friendly and helpful and service was excellent! Also the price was very reasonable! The breakfast tacos were delicious! I got the chorizo and egg and the potato and egg and used their homemade salsa on both. They were nice and hot still when I got home (they were wrapped in foil) and tasted so good!! I think this may be a regular Wednesday stop after my chiro appointment. Highly recommend! read more

Service was horrible also! And ambiance was garbage!!! Horrible horrible horrible!!! My kids and father hated it too!!! read more

After mass we weren't craving brunch, we were craving Mexican. Having never attempted this cuisine here in Holland, MI we were a little nervous. We went in with low expectations. Especially since based on appearances, the food looked bland and average. For instance, the chicken in the husband's fajita just looked under seasoned and unimpressive. But hubby said there was so much flavor and he couldn't believe how good it was. I went with a steak Chimichanga. It was pretty good. I loved the sauce it was topped with and the rice was pretty good, too. read more

I've been going to Margarita's for as long as I can remember. It's a Holland staple. Some favorites: Their Flautas are to die for. 3 crispy flautas on a bed of lettuce with, rice, and beans. Anytime I'm home, I'll get these at least a couple of times. Combinacion 3: A plate that comes out sizzling and steaming with a mixture of chicken and steak fajitas, veggies, and shrimp. It's enough for 2-3 people at least and all very tasty. Asado De Puerco: What you would get traditionally at a mexican wedding or quinceanera. It's very tasty and a generous portion. It's a mom and pop shop, so don't expect a fine dining experience. You may have to remind your server to grab you that salsa you asked for, but the food and RICE OMG THE RICE..... are well worth it. read more

Best chips and salsa by far and away. Delicious beans and rice, generous, hot and fresh portions of fajitas and enchiladas. read more

They start you with freshly fried thick tortilla chips and freshly made salsa. We ordered one of the fajita meals and it was a skirt steak served with tortillas. There were some grilled onions with the meat. The meat was not sliced fajita style. There were no green peppers, sour cream, or shredded cheese served with the fajitas. There was a guacamole salad with diced tomatoes served with the steak. We swapped out the bean soup for refried beans. The beans were flavorful and home made. The steak was very chewy and tasted like a cheap cut of meat. The service was good. If in the area, I would give them another try and have something else. The other entrees I saw at other tables looked good. read more

Small, slow service & our large group didn't get our food at lol at once- seemed like they only had 1 server. BUT food was delicious & authentic! I got menudo - so tasty!! read more

Based on earlier reviews I had marked Margarita's Mexican Restaurant as a "must visit" for my next visit to Holland. It did not stand up to expectations. Service was good and friendly but I found the food to be only average. I tried the combination and while it was better than fast food Tex-Mex or bar food that was about my higest praise. The taco was OK, the enchalada was fair and the tostada was so-so, Side of beans was one of the best features of the plate while the rice was the worst, it could have served as packing for UPS. Location was out of the way and prices were a bit high compared to competition. I won't go out of the way to go back. read more

Although it's very simple and easy to miss, the service was great and food delicious (it wasn't greasy like most places). Ordered the enchiladas suizas. Enjoyed it and will return! read more

We have been eating there for years, mostly for breakfast but went there recently for dinner with a large family group. The food and service was fantastic. read more

How can you have a restaurant called Margarita's that doesn't have margaritas? Do you even want to know any more? The food was pretty rough. Low-quality meats, too much fat cooked into all aspects of the food. Far from fresh. Felt gross afterward. read more

I'm originally from Chicago, where there's really good Mexican food and i miss it. So I decided to give this place a shot. The place looks like a disaster, but hey i really don't care long as the food is great. There are places in Chicago were the place looks like a slum but the food is just amazing. so i ordered the combination, i don't know why when i really don't like enchiladas but the tostadas and the taco were excellent. my meal + dinning experience, i would rate 4/5 My brother ordered the fajita quesadillas and he said quote "this is the best Mexican i ever had, its better then chicago" as far as being back there, hells yea. read more

Spoiler Alert: This is the only review you need to read before visiting. I recently had the opportunity to eat here after not having visited for almost a decade. It had been so long that I had forgotten how good their food is and how reasonable their pricing is. The quesadillas and tacos are 9/10, and the tamales are 7/10. The customer service is always very polite and quick to respond. Their menu is fairly expansive, however, they do not serve alcohol. Really, the only thing keeping this place from being a perfect 5-star is that they do not serve alcohol. It's kind of unfortunate to be named Margaritas without the option of a house margarita to order with your meal. I recommend anyone to check this place out if they are in the area. read more

My husband I went here recently after hearing friends rave about the place. We were not that impressed. We both ordered carne asada tacos, and the meat was very low quality, the onion-cilantro mixture on top was scant, and no lime was served on the side. EDIT: gave this place another chance in November of 2008, and our food was horrible. Carne Asada tacos were full of fat and gristle, salsa is watery and tasteless. The only positive thing I can say is our waitress was nice. read more

I had visit Margarita's Restaurant when they first opened and every visit was delicious! Visiting from Chicago I decided to have a meal at Margarita's. I should have waited to get back to the city and have AUTHENTIC food or taken my money to Taco Bell. At least Taco Bell doesn't pretend to be Authentic Mexican food!!!! The chips were the highlight of the whole meal. The salsa was very bland. So... I ordered a torta (Mexican sandwich). Can't go wrong with a sandwich. Oh, wait, but you can. I received a very very thin slice of unseasoned low quality steak meat with American cheese on top! What up right authentic Mexican Cook would do such a horrible thing. Visit Margarita's and you will experience it for your self. Hmm, why wasn't that put on the menu? Oh and when I asked for some other cheese I was offered cheddar.... Really??? I didn't want a regular steak sandwich, which this didn't qualify for as well, I wanted a torta.. to be fair the bread was ok. So you tell me why did a burrito cost a whopping $13.50? That's because it's an extra $3 bucks for avocado and $1 plus for sour cream. It was made with chicken. I had to take a bite of my Brother's burrito and well NOT COOL. No flavor! I was in a party of seven and barely anyone finished half their food. Keep in mind everyone ordered a different dish and had nothing nice to say. I left unsatisfied, disappointed and upset that Margarita's tried to fool me into thinking they are a Authentic Mexican restaurant. Really American Cheese on a Torta, REALLY!!!! I'm a big fan of ambiance but folks, nothing spectacular here. Don't waste your time or Money!!!!! One star for the waitress she was hospitable. read more

Let me start by saying that Holland is not the gastronomic capital of the world - let alone Michigan. Italian in Holland includes spaghetti pie on the menu. Having home made bread at a breakfast joint costs $0.15 extra and people refuse it because of this cost. I'm not saying you can't get a good meal in Holland, I'm just saying that Margarita's gets my four stars for being one of the better local joints in Holland. My in-laws, wife and I went here tonight (12/27/09) and we all enjoyed our meals. Portions were generous. Service was attentive. The rice was nothing special but it did have pieces of potato in it. Added a little salsa to it and it was quite tasty. Melted cheese on it would have made it great. I had the milanesa dinner with cheese and ham. Never seen it that way before and I enjoyed it. The cheese was melted American cheese slices - so not very Mexican but I still enjoyed it quite a bit. The skirt steak soft taco on corn tortilla was very nice. I'd go back for sure. read more

My kind of place: Original Mexican and Mexican inspired dishes jumping with flavor, quality ingredients, soft on the pocketbook and a simple, ultra-casual atmosphere! First visited over 2 months ago and already feel like a regular as I have been back a half a dozen times. Always during the evening and is never light on locals. Favorite entree is the chimichanga...always packed full of meat and perfect flavor in the sauce. Rice is consistently just right. To date, this is our favorite restaurant in town to bring our daughters and visiting family members. read more

Fantastic, authentic, made from scratch awesomeness. Margarita's is one of those hole-in-a-wall places that doesn't look great but more than makes up for it with their food. read more

News reports today state that Margarita's will reopen tomorrow, 8/2/12. I have changed the rating to 4 stars so as to be consistent with other ratings. read more

Not a bad choice. We decided to give Mexican food a try here in Holland. It was decent. Chips & salsa were fresh and our menu choices were edible. As for earlier reviews the place is quaint and clean. Our service was fast at 1 pm on a Saturday for lunch. It is now 6:30 and I am just thinking about food again. I think it deserves $$ because it is inexpensive but hard to get out under $10 a head. read more

While visiting my mother in Holland, I knew I had to find a good Mexican restaurant to take her to since she had just moved there from Arizona and absolutely loves Mexican food. We love it as well. The service is the only thing good about this restaurant that claims to be "The Home of Fine Mexican Food." Our server, Marina, was very attentive, helpful, and quick with our food. Robin was so sweet and bused tables with the speed of a gazelle. While we got our food quickly, it was below average in taste and some things were tasteless. The menu is large and confusing. There are a few combination plates but some of the items weren't ones I recognized. We were quickly served chips and salsa. The salsa was too spicy hot for me and my mother and there were no other options. The chips were very thick and stale. I ordered white queso dip, which I love. I had originally ordered a medium but upped it to a large. The large came in a soup bowl, much more than I had ever expected. It was not melted through and was bland. My mother ordered a taco and a cheese enchilada. She had to order them ala carte as there was no combination option on the regular or senior menus. The taco came with a flour tortilla rather than the crisp corn tortilla which is the norm and which she expected. She did not want to bother anyone to change the taco so I respected her request although I could tell she was not happy with the flour tortilla. She said her enchilada was bland and nothing special. My boyfriend ordered the enchilada platter that came with 3 enchiladas, rice, and beans. He had one of each of the choices: beef, chicken, and cheddar cheese. He was unimpressed as well, giving the food an average rating at best. I ordered the 2 chiles rellenos, one cheese and the other beef, that came with rice, beans, and flour tortillas. I did not know what I was supposed to do with the tortillas. I love chiles rellenos at other restaurants. I don't get why they are so expensive but they are. These were a big disappointment. There was no "punch" to the chiles. They are supposed to have some spice to them but these were slimy and bland. What was very weird was that the beef mixture had peas in it. Yup! Peas! Yuck! It was a slimy mess. The only good part of my meal was the special salsa that comes with the chiles rellenos but they couldn't resurrect the rellenos. I poured the cheese dip all over my meal to try to give it some taste. Didn't really help. Another really weird thing is that the rice came with diced potatoes in it. None of us ate our rice. Somehow they even made refried beans more bland than out of a can. Menu prices were expensive. When we got our bill, no prices were listed so we didn't know what to do about a tip until we took the bill up to the cash register. We left very disappointed with the food and won't return. Again, Marina and Robin were the only standouts at this restaurant that claims to be "The Home of Fine Mexican Food." The restaurant itself is old and tacky. Of real concern was the overall cleanliness, especially the floor. The entry area was an immediate turn off due to the dirt and worn carpet. The table placement was crowded and the décor tacky. You seat yourself. read more

A great place in Holland, MI. The owners are wonderful people if you get a chance to meet them at the restaurant or at the Farmers Market in the summer. If you get there at a busier time of the day the chips are hot and fresh and extra delicious. My only complaint is that once they messed up our check amount with our friends, and brought refills on sodas automatically, which made us assume they were free refills. read more

Went here for Sunday brunch. It was unexpected, the food was delish and we didn't have to wait 45 minutes for a table. I love spicy food in the morning and their fresh salsa with jalapenos was excellent. Their buffet is was I ended up eating and honestly, didn't not want to stop. read more

This is the real deal. A family enterprise that where the kitchen is lovingly run by Margarita and her son. The food is straightforward and relatively light by Mexican standards. It passed all my tests: flakey, flavorful tamales not overwhelmed with massa (so good I purchased 2 dozen to go), a tostada of the right proportion topped with fresh salad. The sopa was a special treat served in a (?) light beef stock. We sampled beef and chicken enchiladas which had a delicious red sauce. My wife was quite pleased to add their homemade green sauce for added kick. The photo is of their entree Enchiladas Mexicana - cheese, onion, little potato and a light tomato sauce. No frills but a standard dish you will be served at home or restaurant anywhere in Mexico. Perfect. By the way the homemade double thick corn chips, salsa and guacamole were dangerously good. Be sure to pace yourself. Now let's talk about the margaritas - there are none - there is no alcohol. And that is good because the proprietor is totally focused on her tasty, fresh food to be enjoyed with family and friends. I suggest you go taste and return. read more

Margarita's Mexican Restaurant - Enchiladas Mexicano - Mexican Near Me - Holland, Michigan

I have tried this place a couple times, and I have to be honest...to me, there isn't anything special about this place. Our plates seemed thrown together quickly, with very little ingredients in our tacos, and the chips were very stale. The place doesn't always feel the cleanest. We sat in a booth that had a lot of crumbs on the seats, tables felt a little sticky, and I asked for a different cup of water because there was some residue on the side of my cups. When I opened my menu, there was salsa inside of it! Don't get me wrong, the salsa is tasty, but I was kind of put off by it being smeared on the inside of the menu. They add diced potatoes to their rice and I actually really liked that about the dish. Personally, I don't plan on returning, but I wouldn't be against trying it again if I were asked to come along by friends or family. read more

Boy do I love this place. The service is great and the food is authentic Mexican. The Salsa and chips are fresh . We have been hear 30+ times and NEVER disappointed! read more

Great little family run Mexican restaurant. You won't be disappointed! It's not fancy, but we really like this place. The shredded chicken in their dishes is great. My favorite is the chicken chimichanga and the chips with nacho cheese dip. Their rice is really good, too. My son loves the chicken tacos. You know it's authentic when a lot of the patrons are Hispanic and I appreciate that about this place. read more

'Margarita' is a persons NAME, and this restaurant is named after somebody named Margarita. So don't get confused and think it's a place for margaritas. the food is authentic, and for a good price. It is a family run place, and very friendly. Always a good experience when I go there read more

Authentic Mexican home style food. A Latino/a would know. Great small-town, family-owned restaurant with good service & friendly staff. A must. Try it out!!! For people that are not used to great tasting authentic Mexican food (not taco-bell or Moe's- like food )& a little grease, then this place may not be for you. ;) read more

I've been here a couple times over the last month to pick up some carry out. I would say this restaurant is good, but I have had better. I had steak tacos the last time and they were very greasy which made me not want to eat them. However the visit before that they were much better. I will continue to go back, but it does not get 5 stars from me. read more

Some of the best Mexican food I have ever had. Not a fancy place....but if you want Great Mex food I would highly recommend. We had the Suprema Quesidilla and Beef Chimi and both were great! Will bw back the next time in Hollan For Sure! read more

Best Mexican food in town. Great service. Everything on the menu is good. Large portions.

What a gem of a place to stumble upon. Great service from everyone we spoke to-they were so kind and sincere, I felt like family. The food was good too. My boyfriend had a 3 strip steak tacos, which came with rice, small salad and re-fried beans. WOW! it was a ton of food and it was great! (Of course I snagged a few bites!) The steak had a ton of flavor and the rice was really good! We will be back! read more

I've been going to Margarita's since I was young and in all my travels (I make comics for a leaving and go to 20 cons a year, coast to coast) I've never found better Mexican food. Not in L.A., not in San Diego - no where! Margarita's is A-mazing and you can visit or pass through Holland MI without stopping by and eating some of the best food you're ever going to taste. read more

Really good food, awesome vegetarian selection, only thing that gets me every time is the wait when you call to order and the prices on certain items. read more

Good, authentic Mexican food. I like that they make their own fresh chips - the kind that are fried right there and are really good! It's not a fancy place, very basic. I had steak tacos with corn tortillas - good, a little bland, but still really good. Service was great, a friend I hadn't seen in years met me there for lunch (she suggested the restaurant) and we sat there for over 2 hours. They weren't really busy, so the waitress didn't seem to mind and was very nice. A side note .... my friend went to the ladies room there, and when she came back to the table she told me there wasn't toilet paper but instead there was newspaper in the ladies room! I didn't see it myself, but she looked aghast as she told the story so I definitely believe her. read more
