Review from Alysse R.

I had a great dinner here with friends last night.
4 main courses and 1 drink (I drank alone...) came to around $85 before tax and tip.
We were all happy with the service and the food. I ordered veggie fajitas and was impressed to find a variety of vegetables cooked in a delicious sauce. The tortillas seemed fresh and grilled. Although my meal was very filling, I noticed that a couple of my friends polished off their food entirely - an indication that the food was good, but perhaps the portions of some of the meals might have been larger.
After our meal, we were the only ones left in the restaurant, but the woman working there told us to stay as long as we liked. There was no rush here, and we appreciated that. I'm not sure if it is a family business of some kind, but it certainly seems like it - in a good way! -

The food was fine, but not terrific and the waitress actually said as we sat down "I have something to do, I'll be back in a few minutes" - there were only 3 tables full on the huge patio and the other two were eating. So that was strange. But, it made us laugh.
She also brought me chicken instead of beef. That's my beef.
I could be convinced to return but only for apps and drinks.
Lovely garden patio. -

I don't usually review restaurants if I've only been there one time or if I'm not knowledgeable about the type of cuisine, but I'll make an exception for Margarita's since I was taken there by someone who is a regular.
A friend brought me to Margarita's on the weekend. We sat on the back brick patio courtyard, which had a really good, laid-back atmosphere.
The specialty at Margarita's? Margaritas: eight fruity flavours to choose from, each served in an enormous glass goblet. I got to taste mango and raspberry. Mmm. I want to come back here one night with a larger group and try all of them. I had a nice, chilled Dos Equis which I have been drinking for years before those 'most interesting man' commercials started airing on TV, so there.
So, the giant alcoholic slushes may seem like the kind of gimmick you'd find at a place with very ordinary food. Not so. I had the pozole soup which was absolutely delicious. I could tell it was homemade with all kinds of fresh ingredients, plenty of spices and tender pieces of chicken. Wow, it was so good! My friend ordered the calamari which seemed fairly average. For the main course, I had a not-very-adventurous chicken quesadilla (I actually ordered beef, but when the dish arrived, I had been wishing I'd ordered chicken anyway). Served with a green salad, the quesadilla's tortilla had been grilled to a perfect, crisp texture and the cheese and fillings were lovely and melty hot and very tasty. I savoured every bite.
I will be back soon, for sure. -

I have been here twice, once on a date and once with friends. Before this, I always disliked mexican food because of a bad experience at a mexican place in Montreal, but I thought I would give this a try. It turns out that this place was really good, and I have loved mexican ever since.
The restaurant is small one of the many on Baldwin but the place is kind of cozy. The food was really good, lots of flavours. I have tried the fajita (to share) and the enchilada. The portion sizes are decent.
I would definitely come back again! Reccommended. -

This is in my neighbourhood, so I visit fairly often. The food is generally very good, but can be hit & miss. I once had the black bean soup, and it was so thick and CRUNCHY, my fork stood up in it. But overall, this is pretty tasty stuff. The cooks are all Mexican, which I guess is a good sign. The patio is very nice and laid-back in the summer. My main complaint is the price. I'd say, for the portion size and quality of food, the bill should be about $8 less per person, than it actually is. I regularly drop $30 there, when I feel it should have been around $20.
Note: For some reason in this day and age, this place does not accept debit.Listed in: Restaurants

Margarita- a room for fiestas! I stopped by here with a few friends for a drink and light snack.
But I didn't get a margarita- silly, adventurous me- I got a mango daiquiri. On the menu there is a list of multiple fruit flavours that you can have made into a margarita or daiquiri. I was thinking it would be like a smoothie, like how I used to get virgin strawberry daiquiris as a kid. Hello, I'm trying to revisit my childhood here! Instead the drink was more like a slushie/melted snow cone with no real mango flavouring in sight. Still yummy, just not what I was expecting and of lower quality. A savior was the drinking glass it came in! A huge "fishbowl"-like goblet!
As for snacks, we went minimal this time and just grabbed some guacamole. I had low expectations. But out comes this black, stone motor and pestle filled with a bright and creamy guacamole sprinkled with diced tomato! The tastes were great accompanied with nice chips and a little bowl of a homemade hot sauce. The presentation proved to be as useful as it was impressive because you could use the pestle for spreading. I definitely want to try more food here.
Cute place and I can't wait to try the garden back patio on a sunny day! -

The food is decent, the service is always friendly, But the cleanliness is an issue. While walking through the kitchen to get to the patio a noticed roaches. Also, from a inside source, it's confirmed that the owner (who constantly watches over customers) and the kitchen staff pee in the kitchen sink.
Also, it's confirmed that the nacho chips and salsa, if half eaten, get re-used for the next customers. *bleck -

The service here was decent. The food quality was decent. The problem we had was the portion size. We odered chicken enchiladas and when we received them we honestly thought they had just brought us the side salad. The enchiladas are served in a small dish that is garnished with lettuce. It was a waste of money and we had to go to another restaurant afterwards, as we were still starving.
