This was my second visit to Margarita's.
*Atmosphere*
Typical Can-Mex restaurant. The inside was hot as hell; we sat out on the patio which is the big draw to this place. The patio is nice and quiet and very private with trees and shrubs shielding you from the street.
*Service*
The service was not attentive. Draught beer wasn't available for some reason so we were stuck with $6.50 bottles of Mexican beers, or $5 Canadian/Coors bottles as our beer choices.
We only saw our waiter twice, once to take the order and once to give us our drinks.
The guy who brought our food from the kitchen insisted that we ordered one beef and one chicken enchilada meal (we ordered two chickens). He didn't know which plate was which anyways to give the "beef" one to the right person. I said I'd take the beef one so he'd go away and when my wife and I dug in, they were both chicken.
Our waiter or the guy who brought our food didn't bother checking in if our food was okay. We asked for the green tomatillo sauce (medium spice) for both orders of enchiladas; instead we got the red tomatillo sauce (spicy). I had to get up and go to the back to the service window of the kitchen (where I could see the cooks horsing around) to let them know they messed up 2 of our orders. They gave me some of the green tomatillo sauce in a cup. They're lucky we both chose the green sauce over the red because of flavour and not because that we couldn't handle the spice, otherwise they would have been making another set of meals.
*Drinks*
Margaritas here are really good though; probably not what's considered "authentic" for food snobs but I enjoyed it and could have went to town drinking those.
The sangria I thought had a good balance of flavour but I'm not an experience sangria drinker so take my opinion on that lightly.
*Food*
We ordered chips and salsa (not complimentary; $3), 2 orders of chicken enchiladas with green tomatillo sauce and one beef burrito.
Chips were fine but the salsa was terrible. It was the red tomatillo sauce from what I could tell and was watery. No chopped vegetables or anything else. Just a runny, watery red sauce. I don't know if this is an authentic salsa or something but it's certainly not the salsa I'm accustomed to having in Canada. You couldn't actually dip your chip into it because it would just run off and leave you will a soggy chip.
Enchiladas meals came with 2 enchiladas each, 1 cup of Mexican rice and 1/2 cup of beans in a tortilla cup. Portions were very small for $15.
The burrito came by itself with a 1/4 cup of pico de gallo. Good sized burrito. Very plain looking, no points for presentation here but whatever, not really that important.
Everyone said the taste of their food was good notwithstanding the aforementioned problems. Portions are small and overall you aren't getting good value for your money in my opinion.
