For those of you who know me, well you know how much I love Mexican food so I couldn't not check out Miss Margarita on our lovely weekend away in Byron. The place was busy and we had to wait for quite a bit but it was definitely worth it. God, I'm still thinking about that chipotle chicken burrito and their salt & chili squid taco was seriously good. Out of all the mexican restaurants that I've been to so far, when it comes to the drinks selection, Miss Margarita wins hands down - their cocktails are amazing! We had a few and could have literally tried every cocktail on the menu but we had to refrain ourselves as we were going whale watching in the morning... Didn't want it to get messy! The music was totally on point and the atmosphere was great. We were sat right across from the bar and it turned out to be a perfect spot as we watched the bartenders do what they do... They're good! We will return! read more

Yeah this place was trash. Overpriced, lacks the proper soul and identity required for a tasty authentic Mexican experience. I guess shame on me for expecting authentic Mexican on the other side of the world . Don't go unless you want to have a sub par burrito. Maybe the margaritas are good tho! read more

Miss Margs serves popular and fun Mexican dishes, from fajitas, tacos, nachos, burritos and so much more across lunch and dinner. The quality was simple, yet exciting to the palette when we came in during dinner time. There's so much to choose from and I don't think you can go wrong with ordering, as the dishes, drinks and atmosphere of the place mixed fabulously.

Amazing service and great drinks! Would definitely recommend this place. The margaritas were delicious!

Friends and I stopped here for lunch after taking a quick walk to the beach. I had the chipotle chicken burrito, one friend had the oaxaca burrito, and the other the nachos. All the food was good, but just wasn't spicy or had any real depth of flavor to it. The service was quick and very friendly, but for the price there were simply no standards that I associate with a typical mexican restaurant - like chips and salsa to much on for the table. read more

Seeing that I always get plucked out of lines at American airports and put in a room with Mexicans and other fine ethnic peoples to have our clothes taken off us and X-rayed with those explosive machine things, plus seeing as I have traveled extensively south of the border and love the food, people, and all the stray dogs on their beaches, I feel fully justified in considering myself an honorary Mexican. Whiiiiiich kind of makes me a bit snobby about Mexican restaurants in Australia. Which are mostly Tex-mex. But Miss Margarita does a pretty good job, and it doesn't hurt that its right across the road from the Beach Hotel and I cans see the Byron Bay surf while I'm eating my nachos. Speaking of, the pulled pork nachos are the best in the house. My chipotle chili margarita didn't have any chili kick at all, but then I'm a chili bandit and need a ton so it probably wasn't their fault. Spoke to the waiter and he brought back several shades darker and and considerably punchier, good man. The much-hyped ceviche was a let-down, but the fajitas were pretty damned ace, even more so because we kept eating and eating and there was still a metric a$$-ton of food on the table that we just couldn't get through. Did the ol' belt-loosen and still couldn't finish it off. Whuf. Great for a dinner with friends. Or acquaintances. Or, hell, with people you don't know. We Mexicans are a friendly bunch, we'll get on with anyone. read more

I love Mexican food and miss margaritas did not disappoint. Located right in the rustle and bustle of Byron bay CBD, this place pulls in the crowd with its vibe & tasty food. I had a variety of food options: prawn & chorizo quesadillas, fajitas and a pulled pork burrito. The quesadillas and fajitas pack a good punch of flavour. Could have been spicier but I have a high tolerance for spice. Pulled pork is always my go to option. The burrito was not only tasty but also packed with toppings, making this meal option of better value. Overall a delicious and memorable meal out in Byron bay. Would definitely recommend it. read more

Miss Margarita - Pulled pork burritos, prawn & chorizo fajitas! - Mexican Near Me - Byron Bay, NSW

This is one of the best Mexican places I have tried outside of the States or Mexico. I would come back again next time I'm in Byron Bay. We had the chips with guacamole and they actually fry the chips there... yes, it's a greasy, but you're not having Mexican food because you're on a diet. The guacamole was nicely spicy, not too much and it has a nice limey flavor to it. (I have been to too many restaurants the substitute lemons for limes and it's not the same). It was so good we ordered it twice. The salt and chili lime squid had thick cut squid and I can see how they can server it in a taco, but we only ordered the appetizer. They were soft and a large portion for two. Next came our taco combo with Mexican pulled pork, tropical pork and crispy snapper. They were all good, but the Mexican pulled pork had the most authentic flavor and appealed to me the most. I would have ordered more since we only shared the combo, but the portions were so large that I was already full. The margaritas were so good I ordered 2 rounds of the smoked pineapple margarita. The smokiness came from the mezcal and even though I am not always a fan, the bartender did a great job mixing it without overpowering the drink. I also saw many mojitos mixed so I assume those were good, too. I only had the intention of trying out this place and having a drink, but that lasted to 2 hours of actually eating dinner.... be ware you will over drink and over eat so go with an appetite. read more

miss margaritas..... not one to miss, as this place is the tasty taste! The food is delish and large portions accompanied by exciting cocktails and other beverages. We tried the elderflower margarita which was fresh and flavorful. We shared the fajita (chicken) and the nachos (pork) and this was heaps of food for two but both were so amazing that we ate it all! The service is very helpful and relaxed. The wait times despite the busy space were not long. The decor is bright and has many sugar skulls and vintage pieces. It was a bit warm upstairs away from the window so try to grab a seat by a window or outside. read more

Miss Margarita - Coconut Margarita. U think its salt but.... - Mexican Near Me - Byron Bay, NSW

if you're feeling the heat from the sun, and don't want to go to another crowded bar, then I recommend coming here for a quick eat. Prices are alright, coming from San Diego, prices here about about twice as much as what you'd normally pay and food twice the size! I got the mango margarita and it was really good! Served in a small glass for 15$, it was nice and sweet and refreshing for a hot day. I also got the pulled pork burrito which came with sour cream on the side. The tortilla wrap on the burrito was nice and crisp and tasty just by itself! Inside was stuffed with rice, beans, (sweet) pico de gallo and the meat! Although smaller than I'm use to, it was actually the perfect amount and was more filling than I thought! The only thing that was missing was some kind of spice or kick. They have a variety of hot sauces on the side that you got to be careful of! They are all super spicy so if you are just looking for a small kick, I don't recommend drenching your burrito with the sauces. read more

Took the family and friend for an impromptu Mexican inspired feast. Total of 9 of us including 5 kids, and the staff were very helpful and friendly. Food was good quality and was served quickly. read more

The food was absolutely amazing and the drinks were too but the service was so undermining and passive. The girls would purposefully look at our table and ignore us. Super catty read more

It's hard to grumble about anything in Byron Bay, as you're likely there on a trip or for some surfing and general good times. I like the vibe of this place - the staff are fun and helpful and will give good recommendations if you ask - and the offers and menu certainly encourage you to opt for something alcoholic to wash your food down with. The food is tasty and filling and relatively good value, especially if you take them up on some of their lunch offers. Whilst the burrito didn't quite blend in the way my SoCal/UK burrito tastes would've liked, all the ingredients were tasty, fresh and abundant. The tacos were excellent though and sizeable. Between us we had a couple of cocktails (gingerbread marg the highlight) and some red wine, which was decent for the price. It's right by the beach, so it'll be busy in the summer and I suspect that fun and kooky charm of the staff might not translate into efficient service when pushed. But just relax and enjoy it. If you're in a rush, there are plenty of quicker, cheaper alternatives in town. read more

What a great find here! 1/2 block from the beach. We started with the margarita of the week, which was a Mango Margarita.. excellent choice.. than we shared the pulled pork quesadilla and the chicken nachos.if you are in Byron Bay looking for a quality meal Miss Margarita would be my choice. read more

One of the tastiest Mexican food I've ever eaten. Truly enjoyed their Quesadilla. Love the atmosphere, price is quite reasonable considering its location (close to the beach, etc). Will definitely come back. read more

The taco trios are so delicious, the crispy fish especially. What a great spot, right near the beach but not in the sun. You can just sit here, relaxing with a cold drink, listening to Mexican tunes & watch the passers by........ahhh, holidays. read more

South of the border...or shall we say South of the Equator? Probably the closest I'll get here in Australia. Hard pressed to find mexican fare done remotely close to Taco Bell...ok, maybe that was a harsh comment, but you get my gist. I'm usually not a burrito fan, but holy guacamole my Chipotle Chicken Burrito hit the spot! Chips & guac, Vina Sol, side of jalapenos, and a boat load of El Yucateca jalapeno sauce was makin' my tastebuds tingle! Closest I've come to Mexican food yet here in Oz...and I'm from FL! Muy bien!! read more

I had such high hopes for this place. Prior to our trip, I searched for some good eats for our trip. This was one of them. To our demise, this place had a long wait time. That was expected. The place was absolutely packed, spilling with people. This place had to be good, right? We were sat and were ravenously hungry. We immediately knew what we wanted. Our server came quickly but she didn't even introduce herself. Like, it's common courtesy to introduce yourself when you first meet someone? I thought that was slightly rude and annoying. Then, I kid you not, we waited 45 minutes for our burritos. Like I know it's busy but we had no reassurance our food was underway from any of the waitstaff. I started getting agitated and no matter how many times we tried signaling someone they "wouldn't" see us. Also the place was stupid expensive. $20 bucks for a burrito that should've absolutely not been priced like that. This place no way competes with Chipotle back home. That's like 3 burrito bowls. Luckily enough, I bonded with a neighboring table, picking up on their familiar American accents. They made the wait more bearable. My friend and I should've shared our food. Overall not impressed with this place. Would try again but would go to another location or go a different day/time. read more

A wonderful authentic Mexican meal. Most of us had the taco combo...the snapper, chilli squid, and Mexican pork were to die for. All for just $20. A warning, though, they are very busy but they move people through at an impressive pace. Not to be missed when next in Byron Bay!! read more

Miss Margarita - The taco combo. From left, Mexican pork, chilli squid, and crunchy snapper - Mexican Near Me - Byron Bay, NSW

Let me first say: I'm used to amazing Mexican food. I'm from California. Miss Margarita is a cute little boutique Mexican restaurant in Byron. There's not much seating so it can get competitive. The actual building is really small so it's hard to walk between tables, and chairs are constantly being pushed into one another. Don't expect to have any privacy here. The prices are quite high for a simple taco platter or burrito, but I figured that's because it's "boutique". I ordered the chicken burrito and was disappointed. The size was insanely small for the price, 18 dollars for a burrito I can fit in one hand? No thank you. I get burrito for half the price and three/four times the size in California. Also, the flavors weren't impressive by any stretch of the imagination. The tortilla was crunchy but not hard like a taco shell. When I get a burrito I expect a soft tortilla. The chicken was decent, but I paid for guac and it was put on the side of my burrito, and there was not that much for 3 dollars. I would have preferred it inside my burrito spread evenly, that was a flaw in their presentation. Also, the plate looks bone dry with this small burrito and tiny cup of guacamole. I expected a lot more for the price, but it just confirms my belief that quality Mexican food cannot be found in Australia. read more

Once you get past the seriously long wait times you will enjoy some delicious Mexican food... The menu provides a variety of options and makes it easy to share meals, I seriously recommend trying some of their guac (delish). Also, many different alcoholic options including a whole page of tequilas... You can even enjoy a tequila or margarita in the line whilst you wait. read more

Amazing cocktails and food. We had the vegetarian quesadillas, the snapper with mango sauce soft shell tacos and the squid soft shell tacos. Everything was amazing however the snapper taco was our favourite bar far. The waiters were very friendly and helpful. We left extremely full and drunk :) read more

AMAZING - great service, accommodating for a big group and the food was on point. Started off with the Crunchy Jelapeno poppers which came with a lovely sour cream dipping sauce. For main it was two tacos - tropical pork and crispy snapper. Expected more from the pork however the snapper was above expectations. The loaded nachos looked out of this world as well. COCKTAILS: one of my favorite things in life. espresso Martini Strawberry Shake Colada Definitely would go back for me read more

Split guac with a friend and we each had three tacos. A bit heavy on the sauces, but still delicious. Margaritas were to die for as well (I got the strawberry one). It's hard to find good Mexican in Australia! read more

Great food, but definitely overpriced! I ordered the chili con carne nachos as my meal - which I realize might be atypical, but I LOVE nachos! I was underwhelmed by their appearance at first, not as big or garnished as I was expecting, but they were so delicious!!! The rest of my party also enjoyed their meals (taco combos and burritos). However, we all were too turned off by the drink prices to order a margarita, which we had really been looking forward to :( read more

Really great chipotle and chili margarita. I only came here for drinks but it didn't disappoint. I've passed this place a dozen times and the seats always seem to be filled. It was a bit rainy and cold out but they have heat lamps for those wanting for an alfresco experience. Sangria review is okay. Nothing spectacular, but at least the price is fair at only $8.50 compared to the $16 margarita I enjoyed. Lovely attentive staff too! read more

Drinking Happy Hour Margarita's here, I thought I had been transported to sitting in a hip little bar at Venice beach in LA. There is so much of a great vibe here, and it's backed by amazing food, drinks and service. We started with classic Margarita's and soft cell taco's - the squid with lime and the breaded Snapper. Moved on to Mojito's and SOL Beer. I can already feel my Mojo rising. This was simply a superb experience in an outstanding environment. Make sure you go get your Mojo refreshed when you are passing by Byron Bay! read more

The dining room is illuminated by adequate lighting.

One of the best sit down Mexican restaurants I've been to. The Jalepeno poppers were so beautiful I had to strain to not weep tears of joy. I had the mushroom burrito as a main - very impressed. 10/10 for flavour and distribution of ingredients. Cute location - close to the beach, kitschy Mexican décor in the two story building. Our waitress was an adorable American girl, helpful and a comfortable level of chatty. read more

As Californians living San Diego (aka an extension of Mexico), we like to say we know Mexican food. With that said, we were pretty pleased with Miss Margaritas take on tacos and burritos. It was pretty texmex-y but it was really good food. Two tacos and a Corona for $15 was a great deal for a touristy Australian restaurant as well. read more

Where do I begin.. After a weekend away sampling Byron Bays finest, I have to say Miss Margarita was my food highlight. After a short wait we were seated and orders taken super fast. Staff were so friendly and happy to be there. I got the taco combo, went for the chicken chipotle, squid and snapper. Melt in the mouth food could not fault it. I would happily drive from Brisbane just to eat these tacos again!! read more
