Margarita's Mexican Restaurant deserves better than the 3.9 score we saw when visiting on…read moreWednesday, June 17, 2026. The location is perfect, the food was great and the customer service was very good and friendly. This was our second night staying at the Prospector Hotel. We ate dinner at Margarita's on both of our stays (within the same week going to and coming back from Idaho) with breakfast this morning on our second stay. The staff were quite friendly and all were on their game and attentive. The food was very good and abundant. I had the Mexican Rib-eye steak last night and it was cooked a perfect medium rare. Breakfast this morning was Machaca and Eggs. Lots of it perfectly cooked and great to taste. Oh, and their salsa is outstanding! We'll be back if we ever head this way again. Margarita's was outstanding and so was the Prospector Hotel and Gambling Hall. They're both a gem in north-central Nevada!

Staying at the Prospector Hotel for…read morethe first time and have our dogs with us so thought it would be convenient to pick up food from the on-site restaurant. Ugh - never again. First off, the poor kid at the host desk was visible flustered. Despite only a few customers in the restaurant. He was nice, but I felt like an inconvenience. Second, there is a $1.75 charge to go. I saw it when I paid the bill and thought, okay there's paper plates and to go boxes. I get it. But in reality, there should be a discount because you don't get chips and salsa with to-go orders. Third, our dishes were packaged to go by squishing them between plates. Gross, plus we list done of our food because it stuck to the top plate. Fourth, the quality of food is severely lacking. The nacho chips are cheap, low quality tortillas that just aren't worth the calories. The top of the nachos initially apparent have a decent amount of topping, but the reality is that once the top chips were consumed, all that was left were the crumby naked chips and they weren't even crispy. The steak fajitas were "ok". But nothing great and the steak pieces were too large and difficult to chew. Next time we are in Ely, we'll try a different place.

This place is located at a Sinclair gas station, so it's a convenient location. They have a pretty big menu. I opted for their steak breakfast burrito. I personally didn't like the burrito. The one thing that threw it off was their "Fries" in the breakfast burrito. It was like undercooked sliced potatoes. The fries didn't look fried at all. It kind of seemed boiled or baked. Since we were in a hurry, I didn't bother trying to get a refund or to get it remade. If looking for some Mexican food, I'd look somewhere else.

La Fiesta is known for its signature cabbage salad served with chips and salsa. It's a unique item and worth trying. The bar area has a large TV for sports fans. There is a sunken pit next to the fireplace. Looks cozy on a cold winter night. Big menu, all the usual Mexican suspects are available and many dishes with Octopus. We had margaritas and the Mexican pizza sans the ground beef. It was a nice treat and thoroughly enjoyed snacking on it while we waited for the rest of our party to arrive. Wanting something light I ordered the avocado salad, it's under the tostada menu so I thought it would be on a tostada. Not so! But I crinkled some chips on it and splashed it with salsa. That made the salad pop with flavor. We also had three different burritos and all were tasty according to each of our party. Left the plates clean! Afterwards we enjoyed the Spanish coffee and it was a sweet ending.

Our non-water beverage was Athletic NA IPA. Dessert, Carrot Cake and Coffee. We split one plate and left the table feeling well-fed, not disturbingly stuffed.

Brussels Sprouts, slightly steamed. dressed with balsamic vinegar. Scalloped potatoes mildly cheesy. Carrot Cake Big Slice, not over-iced or too suite. Coffee a strong Americano, steamed frothy. The Athletic was an interesting NA beer. Really Hoppy,strong pinyness, slightly bitter finish. Great choice for an occasion. May 9, 2026 - $92.

The food truck is set right in the middle of the cabins that the owners also run, and the whole setup has a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. There are two small patio areas where you can sit outside, rest after hiking, and enjoy the mountain air while eating something fresh and comforting. Sandra herself was an absolute pleasure to talk to. She shared parts of her story with me, a story of immigration, resilience, hard work, and success that genuinely warmed my heart. You can feel that this business was built with determination, hope, and a lot of love behind it. The food was excellent. We ordered chips and salsa, pork street tacos, and a chicken salad, and everything tasted fresh and homemade, care came through in every bite. Simple, authentic, sincere food done really well. After days of standard road-trip meals, this felt refreshing and personal in the best way. Overall, if you are in Baker after hiking or exploring Great Basin National Park, this is absolutely worth stopping for. Good food, kind people, and the kind of small business story that reminds you why local places matter.

The restaurant is located inside the hotel, but has its own walkway entrance from street side. Traditional original old school interior, has a certain charm to it, nothing fancy but clean, comfortable and plenty of space around you. This eatery is family run and operated, and the service is friendly and kind. I had several different family members wait on me or stop by my table to check on me during my meal and visit. I opted for the Chili Rellenos, a pair of beautifully prepared cheese filled rellenos with rice and beans, along with a lemonade. Served with a basket of house chips and two salsas. My entree was very good, the pablanos were nicy prepared and stuffed and breaded in a traditional manner. Flavorful and well seasoned, a solid choice if I like rellenos, this is a good plate. I enjoyed my meal at a relaxed pace and made to feel at home while there. A fair price with good service. Worth a visit and your support. 4 Stars recommended 01019

I started with dinner menu item # 8, 2 Chile Rellenos with flower tortillas, beans, and red rice. They serve bottled beer and drinks so I chose a Negro Modelo. For my second coarse I ordered the Chicken Mole. The mole sauce was wonderful. This time I chose the corn tortillas. I had a second beer. This is a family run business which has been here since 2023. I would recommend you stop for lunch or dinner as you travel along the loneliest highway in America. After your meal you can walk up and down the Main Street of Eureka and see this old western town.
