We came for Margaritas and a dessert and probably wouldn't go back... It was very moist in there, yes humid. It was strange because the air seemed to be blowing based on the streamers hanging from the vents, but it was very uncomfortable. They have a lunchtime buffet that's only $10 or around there, which sounds good! Don't know that we'd come back to it. Service was okay, nothing to call home about. We ordered the fried ice cream, and I've never had it before, but the crust seemed soggy, again it was okay, we still ate it. For Oak Park, I expected it to be nicer in there, but it seemed a little divey. read more

Margaritas - Mexican Near Me - Oak Park, Illinois

Hmmm... well...came here for Bday.. didn't have high expectations and I'm glad I didn't. Service was a bit slow.. perhaps due to shift change. Traditional mexican platters, nothing that will rock your socks off. I heard this place was well known for their "Margaritas".. and... they were ok. Not much selection as far as sizes and you can definitely taste these were not handmade, more like a mix you can find at your local liquor store. Definitely high end pricing, expected more. The food was also ok, little bland and perhaps a little under cooked to my taste and not as hot as should be. Perhaps it was due to party size?? The service was fine once we had a server, but not a place I will go out of my way to eat. The sauces were not typical home made, tastes like it was straight out of the can.. the exception was this chile de arbol sauce.. that was great! That's about it... Cheers! read more

Margaritas - Medium Marggie... - Mexican Near Me - Oak Park, Illinois

Margaritas is my go to Mexican place in this area. Each time, I have tried something new and have enjoyed each and every item. I highly recommend the sopes and bistek dishes. Both of very flavorful and large portions. The frozen margaritas are a real treat as well. I have only indulged once but it was very memorable and I suspect it will be a regular indulgence going forward. The Yelp check in offer is a sweet deal. Get a free appetizer with the purchase of an entree. Parking is a deterrent? It shouldn't be. You can park in the Divine Consign parking lot after 6p free of charge. So what are you waiting for???!! Get to Margaritas and have a Margarita! read more

Delicious food and very good customer service! I ate at the one in Oak Park, IL. Thank you all... Minnie. read more

Margaritas shares the street with other businesses including a restaurant, boutique, flower shop, the cleaners and a grocery store. After I was seated the waiter takes my order, then brings out a small bowl of chicken noodle soup which was sooo good! It jad a small piece of zucchini and carrots which only enhanced the flavors. I ordered the burrito dinner. The burrito is huge, my choice of meat (chicken) was well seasoned and moist. It was also topped with guacamole and sour cream over a bed of melted cheese. I ordered guacamole for an appetizer due to the free appetizer you receive for checking in the first time. Its made fresh in front of you and offers such a side of goodness. My only complaint is that while I would order the burrito again, I would order it with the lettuce on the side as opposed to inside which is how it came. Other than that, this place is a winner. P.S. please excuse the dark pictures. I arrived around 7 and the ambience was already dim. For some reason when I turn my flash on, my phone shuts down :/ read more

I've been going here for over 20 years -since it Was part of the Lalo's restaurant group.I stopped eating in house during COVID but started eating in house again about 6-9 months ago. It is as good as before. It is more expensive, but all restaurants are. What I really appreciate is that Margaritas is following COVID protocols in spacing tables and staff wearing masks. I feel very comfortable eating here and will continue patronizing Margaritas. read more

Not a place I would go back to again. Service was great, atmosphere was nice, food was below average. I had seafood enchiladas and my lady had fluetas. Neither was good. Margaritas were only fair, margarita mix from a bottle. Great name, but unfortunately, disappointing. read more

The service was good and I enjoyed the music and the decor. The food and drinks were underwhelming. The margaritas left a lot to be desired. Some of the food that were ordered was just bland and missing flavors that you would expect. read more

It was excellent! Great service and food. Used the Groupon. Definitely going back! (ordered guacamole , queso, drinks, tacos, enchiladas, and chiles rellenos) read more

I am only giving the review based on quality of food. Our server and service were both excellent. The food was dry, tough and tasteless.

Both food and service were good. A lot of food and great drinks. Loved the Michelada.

All the dishes are bland, they seem to be afraid of frightening people with spice, when this place was lalo's they must have took the recipes with them, Great service but the food cancels that out. Anyone who thinks the food is good needs to get out more, or is incredibly ignorant. Cute date night place but don't order anything. read more

they are the perfect humble place they offer complimentary food and they are very sweet love it love it read more

Very disappointing. I had fish tacos. They had generous portions of muddy tasting tilapia with no savory sauce. They were accompanied by white rice with a few vegetables mixed in for color. Bland. I could not finish the three tacos given their copious amount of fish. But neither did they compel me to try. My wife had shrimp fajitas. Bland. Shrimp with onions and peppers. No sauce or interest beyond the simple ingredients. The shrimp seemed fresh and good in itself. But the meal was unimaginative. The corn chips were warm and fresh. But good corn chips will not bring us back to this restaurant. read more

Margaritas - Tuesday Margaritas! - Mexican Near Me - Oak Park, Illinois

Meh. I was hoping for something a bit more ... what's the word?... authentic! Sadly this does not hold up to its taco predecessors in the same space. read more

This most recent visit we dropped in on a Wednesday for an early dinner. Parking was tight in the neighborhood but we found a spot about a half block away. It was cold outside and cold inside too. Possibly they lowered the heat during non-peak dining time or they just have an inefficient heating system. We opted out of some margaritas or other alcoholic drinks for this visit because it was too early in the day, but we've tried them before and are average. They serve Coke brand soft drinks for $2.50 with free refills. Service was fine. Between the host, waiter, and bus boy we never needed to flag someone down and the table was cleaned of dishes as soon as they were empty. We choose two dishes off the menu. The Margarita's sizzling skillet was prominently pictured on the menu and sounded delicious so that was what I ordered. $17.95 for my super dry and overcooked chicken and steak was far too expensive. There was also some cold beans and Spanish rice in separate bowls. A shrimp kabob (three small shrimp) wrapped in bacon was properly cooked and had good flavor. The mushrooms and sliced onions on the skillet were a bit overcooked but still had good flavor. There was also a healthy piece of queso cheese triangle that added some flavor to the dish. We also ordered the Enchiladas Rojas de Queso. Best way to describe this dish is cold and flavorless. We may return to try the $8.95 lunch buffet but otherwise this place isn't going to remain high on our list. read more

I found this place in Oak Park, and I thought let me stop in and grab some enchiladas. So as I enter and go to the back to place my order to go. There were servers around and no one acknowledged me, I had to ask for a menu. First bad sign. So I asked if they servered beef enchiladas, because I did not see it on the menu. The server said yes, so that is what I ordered. The server repeated my order back to me and all was good. I paid for my food and got home to eat, and it was not beef enchiladas, but chicken. I was not happy. Please check that the food orders are correct. I called to let them know and they said that they would replace it. read more

Margaritas - Margaritas Skillet - Mexican Near Me - Oak Park, Illinois

I've been hearing about this place so me and my friend decided to check it out. Went on a Thursday. Wasn't busy really so for seated right away. Fairly fast service and friendly staff. The margaritas are good. I like how you can mix the flavors. The complimentary soup was delicious. Normal chips and salsa, nothing spectacular but tasty. The food came quickly. We ordered the taco dinner. The tacos were packed with goodness. Lol I was only able to eat one as I was full from the soup, chips and drink. Lol The steak was tender and seasoned well. I would definitely return to see what else they have to persuade me to a 5 star. Tacos are fairly easy. :) read more

We specifically confirmed our order over the phone, and when we picked it up it was wrong. When we called the manager to let them know, they were unwilling to deliver a replacement for the item that was wrong. We gave them our credit card number and they said they would process a refund, and they did not. I called again today, and there was no record of our prior conversation. NO effort made to make the customer whole Plus the store was too crowded and social distancing rules not followed read more

Me and my mom said it was so good I had a pina colata virgin margarita so gooooooood and the shrimp

I have been here a few times. Beyond a doubt the best time to go is at night. For some reason it's a much better experience. Be sure to be at Ellie's table. She is awesome! We shared a combination plate and all the food was delicious, steak, chicken, and many other wonderful items including rice and beans. The piña colada is the best ever! Cute atmosphere. I recommend not having any televisions on as it detracts from the pretty setting. Also, having some artwork showing empowered women would be best. The artwork is beautiful yet let's also add some thing that shows how strong women are. read more

I went here for cinco de mayo. We got a pitcher of margaritas that was great for the four of us. The food was also very tasty. I wished there was a cinco de mayo special happening but otherwise the strawberry margarita was delicious. read more

Ahh FoodZees, Margaritas at 804 s Oak Park Ave in Oak Park. Nice quaint atmosphere, romantic lighting. Wait staff very pleasant and hospitable. We started with a peach margarita for Glenda and a melon mojito for me, very refreshing. Sampler platter to start, tamales, quesadillas, taquitos, smooth guacamole. Glenda had soup, chucked full of chicken, corn and many other vegetables. The broth had great flavor sweet and hardy. I went with a a steak dish, the carne was very tender and seasoned perfectly, along with the steak was 4 shrimp wrapped with bacon, WOW it was phenomenal. The food, the atmosphere and the wait staff were superb. I give this restaurant 4 1/2 stars, a must try. Ciao for now, and as always if you go let me know your thoughts. read more

Lalo's is very mediocre Mexican food with a decent atmosphere. After purchasing a certificate on Restaurant.com, I figured I would finally give this Oak Park restaurant a shot. I did not try the margarita's on this lunch visit, which tends to be the most enjoyed menu item. The guacamole appetizer came with fresh chips and a large serving of guacamole in a fried tortilla bowl (like a taco salad). The guacamole was chunky and visible homemade, but the flavor was very bland. It certainly needed more garlic and lime. For my entree, I went simple by ordering the chicken burrito. It was ok, just nothing special. It came with a slightly melted slice of cheese and dollops of guacamole and sour cream on top. Overall, the Lalo's seems like it has the potential to be much better. While the service was good, the food is not something that will bring me back. read more

This is a cute restaurant located about 35 min outside of Chicago. They have a good atmosphere but the food is mediocre. We got guacamole made table side but it was very bland and basic tasting, I would have appreciated some onions garlic or any spices in it. Chicken fajitas for dinner were okay but nothing that stands out as different. Dessert was good with vanilla ice cream and jelly filled churros. Overall an average Mexican restaurant food but not somewhere I'd return with all of the food options to try in Chicago. read more

Great service and food. We have been coming here for over 5 years and the never disappoint!

We all had a great time. I was getting all stressed out trying to plan a funeral dinner. Everyone wanted an exact number which was impossible to do. If to low not enough food or seating ,to high spending money for food no one will eat. I went to Margaritas and they assured me not to worry about the count , up or down they can adjust. I asked for 60 we had 70 with no problems. We had everyone order what ever they wanted from the regular dinner menu, appetizers, entrees, drinks, and desserts. The margaritas are great, try as many as you can. Lets not forget the staff, friendly and conscientious. With all this delicious food and drinks from the bar it was still cheaper per person than any of the basic luncheon options I found with out drinks of any kind. Only problem we had was trying to get everyone to go home. Can't go wrong 2 or 70 or anywhere in between you and your group will enjoy it. read more

The food was seasoned well and served hot. The waiters kept our water glasses filled the entire time. Gratuity is included in you bill.

Got steak enchiladas and Carne Asada Zamora. Enjoyed both considerably and will likely come back!

The service here is amazing - staff and servers are incredibly caring and attentive, paying close attention to refills and customer needs. I LOVE the service. The food was good, but i wish they added a little more seasoning to their dishes (the guacamole needed salt, and my burrito plate could have used some seasoning too). The service was a 10/10, the food was probably a 6/10, but the price was right. Overall, I would return. read more
