La Margarita is one of our favorite places to eat. We enjoy the family friendly atmosphere, great wait staff and outstanding food. With our last outing I was expecting the price of the food to rise but was surprised the bill at the end of the night was much lower than I expected.

We had a very nice team lunch here. The food was very delicious. I would definitely return. I got the sizzling steak fajitas and got three full meals from it.

First time coming here, The food taste great authentic prepared/cooked. I had shredded chicken tamale as I’m gluten intolerant I was looking for something gluten free or without gluten, The tamales were yummy, The beans are vegetarian and you can choose black or pinto I believe, the rice was good as well. The interior of the place was interesting to maneuver and neat to look around, the bathrooms were clean well kept and there was plenty of seating around the place. Not a long wait time even with the place crowded. Will be going back again with family.

I just keep coming back and coming back and coming back because the customer service is so consistently outstanding that I feel like family now. And of course, the food is great, and the prices are better than the downtown average. Best Margarita in Salem.

Friendly staff, great food. They gave us chips and salsa right after sitting down and a side of refried beans upon request. We ordered the large super nacho and molcajete bowl. Both were delicious!

My family and I found this little whole in the wall restaurant walking by it. When we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The food is good, and they brought my daughters food out first since she was getting fussy (very sweet of them) the bathrooms are in a weird area you have to go outside, but it’s not there fault for that. All around, good!
