The restaurant had a great collection of custom art and decor all around that feed into the modern Mexican ambience of the facility. My beautiful date ordered the carne asada tacos on the corn tortillas. The food was well seasoned and dressed in freshly sautéed peppers and onions. I ordered the chicken enchiladas with Tapatio's red sauce that was accompanied with a gracious side of refried beans and Spanish rice. The enchiladas were good, and overtly topped with layers and layers of cheese (too much for my liking... but to each their own). Complimentary chips and salsa were served with the meal. Sadly the chips were very much overcooked.

A side of chips and salsa with the burritos is also a fantastic touch.

Margaritas Mexican Restaurant is a well decorated and very vivid colored establishment that offers…read morea unique twist on Mexican food in Maine. The menu has a fairly wide selection of appetizers, entrees, and deserts. The Barria Taco plate was served with 3 tacos and a small portion of pineapple. The Blackened Salmon Fajita platter came with a full skillet of bean, Spanish rice, 4 oz of Salmon, and a fair amount of sautéed onions and peppers. Additionally the meal came with an additional plate filled with salsa, cheese, fried pineapple, guacamole, sour cream, and pickled peppers. Collectively the food was flavorful, well prepared, delicious, and appealing to the eyes. The waitress was kind and very busy. It took roughly 45 minutes from the time we ordered food until it was served. Due to the waitress being so busy, they made minimal visits to the table. 8/10. We will be making another trip to Margaritas for another delicious meal soon enough.

Walking in we were met at the door and quickly seated. I felt like an adult beverage so I ordered a Blue Raspberry Margarita. Please see the picture.

It was hot and wonderful. Everything about the dish. Every bite was fantastic. My friend got the burrito and also raved about how good it was. We both had enough for another meal that we brought home with us. The service was attentive and efficient. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who's looking for authentic Mexican food reasonably priced and kid friendly. They also have specials they run Mon-Friday.

They have approximately seating for 30 or so, but are very popular for take-out. This is a go-to place for my Dad and I tend to tag along. The staff is very friendly and the ambiance is the typical Mexican style with complimenting decor. Food is made fairly fast and the quality of the food is decent. The plain burritos are made with ground meet, somewhat seasoned, the refried beans were as expected and the rice was a bit on the dry side like it had been sitting around. You get plenty of food which is why they are a popular spot. If you are looking to satisfy those Mexican cravings, this is a good spot to hit. I won't criticize it for not being fully authentic, because they don't claim to be. They advertise americanized style Mexican and that is what you get.

It is a quaint and small and unsassuming place that packs 'em in tight but the great thing is that I was able to book a reservation ahead of time for a Friday night and we were able to be seated right away and our adventure begins. There were many vegan options for my better half and she also got a non alcoholic margarita that she enjoyed tremendously. I got three different styles of tacos and appetizers and they were divine ... (Pork Belly, Carnitas, Fried fish taco) The ambiance and the energy of the place was fantastic with the server being very good at what he did. We will definitely be back!

Bird & Co is the best Mexican spot in Portland…read more I'm not saying it's the most authentic, I'm not saying it's perfect, I'm not saying their cocktail program is going to change your life, but... 1. They take reservations (including for brunch on the weekends) and it's super easy to do online. How many places in this city are doing this? The answer is: still not many. 2. Their menu is clearly labeled with what's vegan and vegetarian. No guessing here, and the staff has always been quick to double-check with the kitchen if there are any questions or concerns. Segue... 3. The chips and guacamole for currently $10 are the same quantity of (and I mean this lovingly) overly salted, house fried - sometimes too fried - chips and a tiny scoop of good guac as most places in town that are CHARGING YOU MORE. Segue... 4. There are places in town now charging $8 to $10 for ONE TACO. And they're sometimes quite small. The tacos here average between $4.75 and $6.50 for creative, flavorful, interesting, filling options (also you can get them on either flour or corn, no upcharge). The menu changes from time to time, and I wish they'd bring back the fried yuca taco, but the solid vegan solid options right now are Adobo Sweet Potato, Fried Plantain, and Crispy Tofu. Segue... 5. The taquitos, brussel sprouts, and cheesecake are all vegan. Segue... 6. The brunch (10am to 2pm, Saturday and Sundays) options for vegans are probably the most impressive in town: tofu or chorizo or fresh avocado tacos, huevos rancheros, churro french toast, avocado toast, chimichangas. 7. The Mexican cold brew might change your life (... or at least make you really happy when you're playing hooky from work and having an 11am drink). Switch the tequila for house whisky, skip the vespertino, ask for a side of oat milk... no changes to the price when doing this, by the way, because they're THAT kind of place that isn't trying to punish you constantly with extra fees. 8. The staff is so accommodating, they're thoughtful, they check-in just the right amount. Sure, I've had a few bad experiences here, but overall... sit at the bar, make a friend, and just ask/just talk to them if you're missing something/need something etc. 9. The atmosphere here is Portland right before it became too cool (IYKYK). It's casual and relaxed, it can be intimate and loud when it's busy, it feels quite trendy yet still approachable when they've got their newly updated outside area set-up. 10. It's off peninsula which also changes the demographic and vibe entiiiiiiiiiirely. For the good. 6/5 no notes.
