| - 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.
