Margarita's Jalisco

I came here for dinner on Monday 6/3/2019. Food was delicious and service was great!! I ordered the #6 taco/enchilada combination, my hubby ordered shrimp cocktail and for dessert we had fried ice cream! The interior is pretty neat too with decorations and wall art! I definitely recommend to others and will be back!

Updating this review as they seem to be updating a bit and there are new dishes, it was sooo good! This spinach cheese dip was beyond good, and the quesadilla was excellent! Margarita strong and tasty! Yum!

I have not been to this restaurant in years! My friend and I decided to try this out. When we arrived it wasn't very busy inside-outside in the patio there were more people dining as it was a nice evening out. We chose to sit on the patio, we were taken to a table and given menu's. We received chips and salsa from our server who also at that time took our drink order. I decided on a Michelada and my friend had a Margarita. My drink was huge to my surprise and it was delicious! My friend did not like her margarita very well, I think it had to much mix in it. We placed our meal order with the server. A bus guy came out to clean a table directly across from us and we were caught off guard as he was chucking drinks out into the ground-he did this at another table he was clearing a bit after the first one. Seemed off and had he had a tub to carry dishes and drink ware dumping in the kitchen may have been a better idea. Another server brought out our food, it tasted fresh and hot but we were not checked on throughout our meal. My friend finally asked for a shot of tequila to add to her margarita which made it a little better. We were disappointed that service wasn't great, it really wasn't busy and even after we paid we went inside to get to the parking lot and there were only a few tables inside. My food was mediocre-I prob will not go back which is unfortunate, they do have a nice little patio, nothing fancy but it was decorated cute.

As someone who appreciates a good dive, I believe there's a fine line between a place affectionately known as a "dive" or "hole in the wall" with amazing food, and somewhere that is simply dirty and rundown. For me, a dive can be small and lacking fancy decor, but it can still be clean and well maintained.My last few visits here have not been as pleasant as they once were. The place seems dirty and rundown, and the flooring project has been going on for almost a year now, which is super puzzling. The last time I was in, the table was wobbly, the chairs were wobbly, and everything seemed in need of a good cleaning. I got an order of the popeye dip, but it was super watery and not pleasant. I think the spinach was not dried before adding it to the dip, or the dip needed more cheese to overcome the spinach and pico. I got an order of Ivan's tacos for my entree, and while they were good, they were very greasy. Overall, I like Margarita's, but this location needs some definite TLC. I hope the management takes steps to improve the cleanliness and maintenance of the restaurant to bring it back to its former charm.

Wasn't too good, beef on the torta was tough with little flavor, the enchiladas were bland. 2 stars for the salsa which was good.

Received the worst service I have ever had in a restaurant. It truly felt like we were a bother for the waitress to attend to our table. She took our order...after waiting 15 minutes and didn't see her again. Someone else brought the check...after we asked for it. The menus were so old and frayed and molded that I was afraid to touch it. I just looked online and ordered that way. The place overall both inside and out was extremely dirty. BUT...During the meal something caught my eye moving near the wall (we were seated outside) and there was a separation on the outside wall of the building and the concrete pad and OMG there were several MICE running around!!!!!!!!!! I took pic and video of the first one. We left...never again.

Nothing fancy & I sometimes get the feeling that I'm inconveniencing the wait staff just by being there, but the food is decent. Better chips & salsa than a lot of places in Topeka.

I had to update my review from 4 years ago... unfortunately.The people here are really nice. That being said, the food isn't as great as it used to be. In fact, unless you love onions on everything, even when you ask them to please not put any in your food, they will still do it. The last 4 times we got carry-out due to Covid, the place was jam packed with people with no spacing of any kind between tables. On all 4 occasions, when getting home to open our packages of food, they missed items. A little frustrating when you are trying to give a local spot some business and they miss the mark. I would rather just drive all the way to the North location which is a 13 minute drive for better service.

I was visiting Topeka and when I got back to the hotel, I decided to order from this establishment. It is not even 2 miles away from the hotel. However, when it arrived, the food was super cold and it had just gotten picked up. On top of that, the nachos had little to no queso r, and the queso I ordered separately was also very cold, so I could not use that on the nachos. I highly recommend avoiding this establishment and finding an authentic Mexican restaurant.

We ate at this restaurant last night. It didn't seem very clean but we want ahead - should not have done so. The guacamole seemed a little off and I guess it was, because I became violently ill a couple of hours after we ate. Be afraid - very afraid!Stay away!
