Decided to come here again. Had a good dinning experience, but on the way out decided to use the bathrooms and my girlfriend couldn’t because someone had thrown up on the door to the woman's restroom and on the floor. No employees in sight. This place is laughably bad and should be shut down.We got scammed. Came here for happy hour in October. We had a few drinks that were discounted for happy hour. We paid our bill then noticed they were full price. Called the manager over and he said he couldn’t fix the price now, but assured us he would do it at the end of the night and promised he goes over all the receipts at the end of the night and wouldn’t miss it. Well a month later and no sign of our money. Thanks for scamming us out of 15 dollars or so.

Instead of simply asking what we would like to drink, the server immediately asked, "Which Margarita would you like?" She did something similar with appetizers, asking, "How would you like your guacamole?" when it’s not something we usually order. It felt like aggressive upselling, which is one of the reasons we rarely choose to come here anymore. While the food we had was good, we prefer other restaurants where we don’t feel manipulated.

For a party this size, management was more than happy to open an hour early for us, the drinks and food flowed in on a timely manner, the servers were awesome, bartender as well!!! We did get a little loud, but they were respectful of us, and we them. If they'll have us we will be back again.

She had a 20 top as well as other tables while she was waiting on us and not only was she super pleasant but the drinks and food were fast and DELICIOUS! I’d give 10 stars if I could!

She passed by our booth multiple times without checking in on us. Unfortunately, she forgot our appetizer, which didn't arrive until after our entrees, despite us asking about it again. Throughout our time there, she only came to our table three times: once to greet us, once to ask how everything was, and finally to bring the check. With a new baby, we cherish our rare outings, and our previous experience at Margaritas was delightful. However, last night fell short of our expectations. While our server was friendly when she did come by, it was clear she was overwhelmed and had too many tables to manage. I noticed a table behind us, seated after us, that received their drinks, appetizers, and entrees long before we did. As a restaurant owner, I believe it's crucial to ensure that all tables receive adequate attention, especially during busy times. There were around four other waitstaff in the bar, mostly seen bussing tables or floating around. It would have been beneficial for someone to take over our table and help our server out. On a positive note, the food was good and the drinks were great; it was just evident that our server needed some support, as she was clearly stretched too thin. I’m not trying to criticize her, just hoping for some improvements in service efficiency.
