Margaritas Kearney

Our 2nd day in Kearney led us to try and find a place to eat for lunch. The night before, the parking lot of Margaritas was PACKED, so we decided to give it a try. The restaurant is very nice, huge bar, lots of festive colors, and seemed pretty clean. The staff was friendly and sat us immediately and our waiter took our drink order. I ordered the taco salad and my wife ordered the pork carnitas. Having the best taco salad I had ever had the night before at a neighboring Mexican restaurant, the bar was set quite high. This taco salad was good but not great. It seemed kind of sloppily put together and I wish the meat was charred - like fajita meat. The taco shell was fragile and just ok flavor wise. My wife's pork carnitas was incredible! The pork carnitas came on a plate with 3 corn tortilla tacos with carnitas inside. The meat was tender and had great flavor. The plate had beans and rice and pico. The shells and meat were amazing! I also had a blue margarita with Herradura Tequila which was refreshing and had great flavor!

Traveling from Colorado to Wisconsin brought us to Kearney and at supper time, so we searched out a food establishment close to our hotel. This was it. Mexican is usually a good standby food source, so we found this had a good Yelp rating, so we stopped here. It was 4:30, and there were a few cars in the lot, so it was a good time to dine. The front of house clerk set us up at a window booth and Maribel approached us for drink orders and any explanation of menu items. When she brought out the drinks, and a kitchen helper brought out chips and tasty salsa with an after burner kick, we placed our order for a trio enchilada dinner with three sauces, rice beans and some lettuce salad. We told her we would share the meal and when she brought it out of the kitchen she provided two extra plates to split the big entree. Chicken, beef and cheese were inside the tortillas and then covered with a green chile, red tomato and cheese sauce, each being distinctive tastes.

The service was amazing and, if you get the t-bone steak, it's delicious and also gigantic so plan on getting a to-go box!!

Fajita Burrito is all I need to say. It was delicious and saved money over true fajitas. Chill atmosphere and friendly staff.

Margaritas Kearney was relatively good. The drinks were good, chips and salsa were good too.The services was overall good and my waiter was very attentive.My dish was very basic and traditional but what threw me off was the shrimp, it just had too much going on.Overall I would suggest people to go to Margaritas if you want a traditional Mexican meal.

Best Mexican restaurant in Kearney hands down! Love their chicken enchiladas, rice, beans, & margaritas! Super bright & colorful. Staff has always been super polite and attentive. I always recommend this restaurant to family and friends while in Kearney!

I knew it would be a great place as soon as I saw the salsa. It was not the usual red sauce to dip your chip in, but a salsa peppers onions , cilantro and seasoning to flavor the chips and enhance the food you might want to add it too. Friendly staff was efficient. The place spared no expense on the decor from the floor to ceiling. It felt like being in a very upscale restaurant in Mexico.

Excellent stop for Mex in Kearney.Went with the non-standard choices and we were very satisfied.If you're on the road in NE stop heee.

Excellent staff! We enjoyed our evening there. Good margaritas and food. We'll be back again!

The food was delicious, served quickly and hot from the kitchen. The service was excellent.
