Food is ok, and that's why we came back a few times.. the service has never been great but good for Tahoe (local know what I mean).. however, today was terrible.. we got to the restaurant around 5pm and we were not greeted for a while, once someone finally came out of the back to seat us, well actually just said seat yourself:. So we waited for a while and finally got a waiter, I ordered the vegetarian burrito and some coffee, my partner had some questions about the crab meat used in another dish.. a little later a different waiter came and took his order. 30 mins later they brought his food, but not mine.. so the first waiter never put in my order. Now mistakes happen but when I brought this one to our waiter's attention she literally told me it was my fault.. also went without water and coffee, there were a lot of staff and they were all having a good time chatting and talking amongst themselves.
I left hungry and will never go back..

What a great place. I had a burrito 🌯 and was not able to finish it, which is very rare for me. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was very nice as well. Unfortunately it started raining when we were there, so we couldn't sit outside.
The food is delicious and plentiful. The chips and salsa were delicious as well.
The menu was full of great selections and I would go back and try many more things.
The margaritas are spot on and good.
The service was great and on top of everything.

It's rare I bother to write a negative review. But, having waited 5 minutes to be seated in a near empty restaurant, and handed the cutlery and menu to be taken to table, I feel compelled to share. Waited a long time to be served and for foodyo arrive. The food was bland muck on a plate with grey watery beans. It was lukewarm and flavorless. Not to mention incredibly overpriced. On the positive side, the Margherita drink was nice but double usual restaurant prices.
Delicious drinks, strong and not too sweet. Great ceviche and tacos. Outdoor area is quiet although next to roadway. Servers were very attentive checking on us frequently. Overall very happy with my experience. Also was allowed to have my small dog with me in outside area.
Stopped here for lunch as we were looking for Mexican food and glad we found this place!
Food very good as well as the service very fantastic and friendly people.
Parking is available and its location is super as you can’t miss this Margaritas sign from the street! Will surely come back here!

Margaritas seems like yet another solid local spot on 89. A bit out of the crowded South Lake Tahoe area — just how we like it. We’re visiting South Lake in a shoulder season so we walked right in at 1pm on a Saturday and we’re seated immediately. The place itself is nothing to write home about, it’s clean enough and has a bit of a ‘Tahoe’ vibe, but almost nothing about it would indicate that it’s a Mexican restaurant.
The bartender was friendly and attentive, bringing chips and salsa right when we were seated. She promptly got our drinks and orders. Service was great. My group and I ordered a couple of combination plates and a steak quesadilla. I thought the shredded beef was pretty good but got mediocre reviews for the chicken and steak fillings.
This was our second time here so it’s definitely worth a trip, and solid food and atmosphere to return. It did seem like multiple people in there at the time of our visited had come often. Overall, the experience is good and solid food. Nothing to write home about and nothing to complain about!

Hats off to the chefs all the food was fantastic. The shrimp cocktail was seasoned just right and the Asada meat in my tacos was really good meat. My son enjoyed the quesadilla.The service was amazing too. Highly recommended this restaurant. Must try their house margaritas.
