We had a lovely dinner here. There was live music and since the weather was perfect, we chose to sit outside. Our server was amazing; attentive, kind, and ensured everything arrived promptly. We both loved our meals, and the queso and guac were especially delicious!

Had a reservation for 13 on a Friday night. Staff was unprepared and flustered. It took almost 15 minutes to receive waters with no greeting. Happy hour menu does not clarify drinks are actually 2 for 1. Presentation of food was subpar, food quality was better than most Mexican in tampa. The vegetarian combo are the only vegetarian options on the menu, not listing the items anywhere else of proving a description of what is in the dishes. Single stall bathrooms; 1 men and 1 woman. At that point just make them gender neutral. Too big of a restaurant for only two bathrooms. There was a very bright led lighting right at eye level when sitting in the main dining room by the bar which made the experience not so lovely.

Long time favorite when in town to visit a Davis Island resident. Tonight was very different. Sat, pretty slow hello, eventually a server who was polite. Orders a couple of soft drinks and a couple of very tasty classic margs. Chips, etc. finished chips and tried for 30 min to flag someone down for refill and more margs. Eventually got our server back to take our order...still polite. We ordered some basics, nothing complicated and we were right in the main thoroughfare of the restaurant. Took forever on the chips and even longer on the margs. Waited well over an hour for the food. Reluctantly said something, and garnered some attention. 20 min later, still no food. Eventually we just paid cash for the drinks and left quietly and politely. Server finally came and said, "oh, you de used to leave?" Yes, my two young daughters and my host friend and I decided to leave. It was a long day of travel and we were starving when we landed. I know why the service was why it was and so do the adjacent neighbor tables and so do you which is extremely unsettling. Used to live your place, but that's the last time for us.

We had lunch here while my dad had a procedure done at Tampa general hospital. We all got the steak tacos and thought they were pretty good. Their house margaritas are very yummy and strong for the price. I got the margarita with the grand marnier floater and it was delicious. The rice was fluffy and the beans were flavorful. Overall everything was good. I do wish the steak had been a little more cooked or maybe seasoned more as it left something to be desired but I'd definitely try it again.

Cinco de Mayo was upon us and my friends and I needed a last minute spot. We ventured over to Davis Island around 6:45 on Sunday. There was about a thirty minute wait for a table of five, which I felt was decent given the celebratory day. We were greeted by a live DJ and some guests enjoying the music as they showed off their salsa moves. Naturally we had to start with chips and salsa and a round of margaritas. I had the chicken enchiladas. My friends tried the nachos, coconut shrimp, fajitas, and a specialty chicken dish. Even though they were busy, all of the staff were very friendly. One of the waiters even sat down at our table to chat with us! We enjoyed the food and it was a perfect fit for the relaxed, low key dinner we were looking for!

Visited Davis Islands for the first time in a while. We were craving Mexican food and saw Margaritas Mexican Restaurant and decided to give it a try. It's located on the main strip which is very convenient. The service from the waiters was very good as they provided good insight on the menu and specials. The food however was nothing special. We've tried better dishes at other Mexican restaurants that are deserving of 5 stars. The chimichanga and rice bowl were average and weren't our favorite. The chips and salsa were also OK and not great. Good for a one time visit

Margaritas is one of the only restaurants located on Davis Island, so you definitely need to take advantage! I went on a Friday night, and parking was a nightmare. I dropped my family off and had to park blocks away in the neighborhoods. Be super careful of towing and make sure you read the signs! We got there just in time for their Happy Hour. It's not very clear on the menu, but you get TWO drinks for $8.95. My mom and aunt didn't know this and thought they were ordering just 1 each, but ended up a little tipsy by the end. LOL. You can choose either a margarita or sangria which is nice as well. I got chicken tacos for my main dish. It came with 3 and rice, and I ate every bite! It was delicious. You also get 1 free basket of chips and salsa. Extra salsa is $1 FYI! They will not tell you this, so I am telling you this! Service was a bit slow, but they were slammed, so I will not let that ruin my experience. They also had live music right next to our table. The vibe was very upbeat! We watched the sunset at Davis Island beach area afterwards; overall, it was a great night!

Had an overall good experience here! Large outdoor patio, smaller indoor area. Went for an early dinner/happy hour around 5:30 pm and service was speedy and friendly. The happy hour is a great value (we had 4 margs total for $18) and I think the food was pretty average-- probably could use just a bit more flavor but I asked for some hot sauce and the problem was solved. Would be glad to come back for solid Mexican food and cheap HH drinks!
