Against the backdrop of a sun-soaked village in Central Mexico, surrounded by the texture of centuries-old heritage, the Margaritas restaurant concept has been carefully crafted and thoughtfully prepared for import to the United States. Margaritas has become an experience warmly embraced by people looking for a place to visit as well as a place to enjoy delicious Mexican food. Every visit to Margaritas is an individual journey, constantly evolving, always surprising and open for interpretation and discovery. Much like the subtle nuances that differentiate each hand-painted ceramic sculpture in our restaurants, no two Margaritas are identical and no two experiences are exactly the same. But every visit is undeniably Margaritas. Festive and fun!
