Casa Margarita

I was skeptical at first because of the 2.5 star rating I saw it had, but my entire experience was wonderful. I arrived at prime time for dinner and was immediately seated outside with my friends. The hostess provided us the most delicious chips and salsa with the right amount of crisp and spice.
I ordered a jumbo sized strawberry margarita in observance of the restaurant name and was not disappointed one bit. It had a perfect ratio of alcohol and sweetness and I somehow finished the whole thing (a lot for your money).
My meal was the steak and chicken fajita combo which could have used a little more meat, but the food that was provided was pleasing to the taste buds. I definitely had leftovers for the next day!
Toward the end of the meal, it must’ve gotten dark enough for them to cut on the flames in the center of the table. This added a romantic part to the meal and even though that’s not why I went, I took note for future date nights.
In summary, the food was delicious and decently priced. Their chips and salsa were perfect! The margaritas lived up to the name and I would highly recommend this place for a Mexican restaurant if you are looking for one.

Took my dad here for Father’s Day… must say the service was great. The food was amazing. Pineapple fajitas are a must try. Authentic Mexican food approved by a Mexican. We have tried other places such as la Mex and it does not compare. The drinks were great too. Patio is Beautiful. We will definitely be coming back!

Food was okay. Drink was okay BUT no drink prices on menu. I got the bill and the charged me $ 17.45 for one margarita. Will never come back!

I have come to Casa Magarita twice. Both times I was not impressed. The restaurant both times was not really busy. The first time I went was on a Friday evening. You would think that it would have been more crowded with the after work crowd. The second time was on a Monday evening, again not very crowded but I almost expected that. I will be basing this review off of my second visit which took place Monday 6÷20÷16 at aproximately 7:00 PM.
The service was slow. At first I thought it was just they were trying to be a bit European with it, make the experience enjoyable and comfortable. I soon found out that this wasn’t the case. They were just really slow. Our waitress took out appetizer and drink order. The only thing she got right all night. After we ordered our food we sat and talked. I ordered the fiesta enchilada and my wife ordered the combo fajita. My order came out. After a couple of minutes her order came out. The waitress stated that you get tortillas with the fajita and asked what kind she wanted. Now lets be frank folks, she should have done that when she took the order. So my wife said corn and we moved on thinking it would be just a couple of minutes. It was a reasonable assumption given that the place was about 80% empty and its only tortillas. Of course I was wrong. As I sat there for 15 minutes waiting on tortillas for my wife (because it would be rude to eat without her) my food got colder. Finally the waitress brought her tortillas. She said to my wife «You ordered flour right?» I was quite upset now. We told her to forget it and my wife said she would just make due. The waitress still brought corn tortillas halfway after my wife was done. Here is the funny part, there were only 3 in the container. So all of that for 3 tortillas. My lovely wife kept me calm as I was ready to walk out without paying. The fajita plate was ok. Meat and veg were a typical grilled. No outwardly amazing flavor or spice that made me say «OOOOOOH». It tasted like you made it at home with Old El Paso brand taco in a box kits. Very generic and not anything to write home about. It was edible is the best way to describe it. The enchilada platter was not so good. The beans tasted like they were from a can and the rice tasted and had the texture of instant. The sauces that were on the enchiladas were mediocre at best. The mole on one of them tasted like Goya canned mole, literally. I really think it was Goya canned mole.
Finally we get to dessert. We wanted to do this since we had the whole night to ourselves. My wife ordered her dessert first, I ordered mine second. Mine comes out. We wait and wait for hers. Finally after 15 minutes I get up to find my waitress. I find her and ask where my wife’s dessert is. She defensively points to my dessert. I explained her mistake and told her to take mine back, remove the dessert off of the bill and bring us the check. That was the only time this waitress moved with a purpose. I asked for the manager. When she walked over I realized had been around the whole time. She saw us upset and didn’t even bother to come check on us.
So the moral of the story is, if you are in Bolingbrook and want good sit down Mexican, go across town to Bucho’s. We almost went there but thought we would try something different. Sometimes tried and true is best.

We waited over 45 mins for a table Bc the bus boy was taking his sweet time to clean tables. Then we sat down and ordered drinks and food since we had time to look at a menu. after 20 mins our waitress came back to tell us that the drinks we ordered they didn’t have any more of. Over an hr later and our food still had not been served. We kept hearing her say it’s coming but nothing. Finally when we got our food it had looked as though It say for some time, chicken was not hot and the rice and beans were hard. Not to mention we watched one of the older waitresses sit down take her shoe off and rub her foot and then continue to serve her tables. Complete and total disappointment. We will not be back. And unless you have over an hr and half to wait for food and drinks I would suggest going somewhere else!

I’ve been here 3 times now and have enjoyed the atmosphere, food, and drinks. The margaritas are great, and they have some good deals on them during the week. I love the shrimp fajitas. The hostesses that greet you when you walk in are super welcoming, but the wait staff is sometimes slow to come back and check on you at your table. Overall, this is a great casual place if you’re looking for some Mexican food. I am signed up for the email club and get some great coupons and offers weekly.

I wanted to try this place out for the first time ever since it opened. From its appearance, it seems like a high quality Mexican restaurant.
Unfortunately, the food was subpar. The guacamole was good (no way you can go wrong with that), but the carne asada was not worth it for the price. I have tried carne asada dishes from other Mexican restaurants that were better quality and looked more appetizing than the one served here.
The service was even worse. Our server wasn’t very prompt in making sure that our needs were met. For example, it took our server 10 minutes from the time we asked someone to bring us tortillas. By the time our tortillas were served, we were practically finished with our meal.
Unfortunately, i was disappointed by both food and service here, as I had high hopes for this place that looked so appealing from the outside. Would not recommend

It’s pretty decent mexican food. I have been here multiple times. The biggest knock against them is the service is often sub-​par. Also, one of the best ways to judge a mexican restaurant is by their chips and salsa. Theirs are just ok. The salsa is runny. I’d try it out if you haven’t tand see for yourself.

The atmosphere is nice. The outside patio was pleasant with the fire giving great ambiance. The service was a little slow and the menu was hard to read. Bottom line the food was good and the prices seemed a little high for Mexican food, but if your not picky this is a ok place to eat…

I have seen this place for a couple years but to be honest I stayed away because of the poor reviews here on Unilocal.Well, some friends of mine who have eaten there insisted it was not bad so a bunch of us went out for dinner there last weekend. I have to admit the food was decent and I had one of the best mango margarita’s I have ever had in my life. The service was very good as well and we had a large party of about 10 people. They have a very large bar and very large dining room, they had no problem accommodating our party of 10 on a Saturday evening, we simply phoned ahead about 30 minutes before our arrival. I would give the food 3.5 stars, service was a 5 and my margarita was a 5 so that’s how I came to my 4 star rating. If you look at my reviews I have eaten at a lot of Mexican places all over the country, you will also notice I ma not afraid to give 1 and 2 star ratings. Casa margarita is not my favorite Mexican place but it is by far not badt. I will go back again for sure! Give it a try and see for yourself.

I was really excited to try this place. My fiancé and i love Mexican food. However, I don’t think I have ever had worse Mexican food, even from a hole-​in-​the-​wall fast food place.
First, we got margaritas. They are not made, they are dispensed out of a tap and made from sour mix. For a restaurant named after the drink, we were definitely expecting something fresher and better.
Then we looked at the menu. We order two Appetizers, which honestly weren’t that bad — at least the guacamole tasted fairly fresh. We ordered the chicken mole and Asada y relleno, which were $ 14.99 and $ 17.99, respectively. For that price, we expected good food. The chicken was tender, but the mole was not great. The steak was obviously steamed and rubbery, and horribly overcooked, and the chile tasted of freezer burn. I had one bite and couldn’t eat any more. I could go on, but in short there are many other great Mexican places near by that I will be going to instead.
To be honest — the only reason I gave this place one star I’d because our server was very nice and attentive. It wasn’t her fault the food sucked.

Decided to check this place out for cinco de mayo this year. But sadly it was probably the worst day to come. It was chaotic. But that’s not their fault. The rest of the visit is why they are only getting two stars and why I’ll only be back for carry out.
So we got there around 8:15ish we waited for a booth for about 30 minutes, which was fine. When we were sat is where the trouble began. We had a new waiter, or so he told us. We sat at our table for 20 minutes waiting for him to come and greet us, we didn’t have a drink menu at our table either. When he gave us the menu I decided what Margarita I wanted immediately but my friend was torn and he said he’d put mine in but he warned there was a LONG wait. He really emphasized that. So we also asked for water in the mean time. This was about 8:50. I got my margarita by 9:05…fifteen minutes wasn’t that bad. On a regular night sometimes that’s how long it takes. He made it seem like 30+ minutes. Alas I asked for sugar on my rim and it was delivered with salt… luckily there was a straw. And my blue island margarita wasn’t worth the $ 11.95.
My friend wasn’t sure what she wanted when I ordered so our waiter left us there. We were waiting for our other friend to come join us after she left work at 9:30. I called her because eventually 9:30 had rolled around to tell her what they had margarita wise and had her pick since I was hoping he’d be back before she got there. She arrived and he had only said «I will be right with you guys.» twice to us but was taking care of everyone else around us. This was probably 9:45. We didn’t get our water either. I also thought it was odd they didn’t offer chips on the table like most Mexican restaurants do, well… until they were brought to us when our food was.
I know this sounds like an obnoxious rant but I need to tell you that the steak fajita quesadilla was absolutely delicious. This is why it gets two stars instead of one.
That I will be back for to take home with me.
I would love to give some friendly feedback to management and have your servers learn a little better time management. I know cinco de mayo can be a stressful day, but thriving under pressure is what really impresses people. And please let your chef know that their food is amazing.

LOVE IT! The energy and atmosphere is great. Must set outside with the sexy fire wall. Ask for Monica V. and order the Margarita Flights… OMG they are amazing! Casa Margarita is a must if you want great drinks and food.

We are regulars here and not sure where the bad reviews were coming from. Multiple times we tried to eat and they were packed.
We always order a pitcher of strawberry pinacolada and always finished it to the last drop.
Today, I had the steak fajitas and it was good. Meat was very tender and juicy, a lot better than Don Julio and a lot cheaper.
My spouse love their steak burrito. She orders it all the time. Our chips is always warm and crunchy, comes with salsa.
Our favorite server Monica is the best. We always ask for her every time we are there. Her service is impeccable and very cheerful all the time.
They also have coupons that you can find on most flyers. Buy one menu item, get another for free, you can’t beat that.

This place is right across the street from our house, we havent been before now because of the reviews on Unilocal,but got a buy one get one free entrée coupon in the mail so decided to give it a try. We actually enjoyed our experience and glad we went!
1.The service was great,
2. Liked the chips and salsa, nothing to write home about but good!
3.Got a jumbo mango margarita, couldnt finish it, would get small next time. It was pretty sugary sweet.
4.Rice, beans were pretty darn good, we found them to be flavorful
5. Combo entrees were also good. Probably the best thing was the beef flauta. Im a big chesse enchilada fan, I like them very cheesy and saucy. Wasnt the best enchilada, wasnt saucy enough for my taste.
Nothing was out of this park amazing, but nothing was bad. We will go back for sure next time we get another coupon. Check your coupon mailers and then give it a try!

I visited this place when it first opened for dinner. We did not have reservations and there was a little bit of a wait, which is understandable. The hostess at the front desk seemed extremely unorganized.
We were given complimentary salsa, which is extremely watered down. My mango margarita was loaded with sugar/​mix and I couldn’t taste any alcohol.
Our server was not very professional and it seemed like either: she has never done this before, or she has no people skills.
The food. If you could open a can of beans and throw them in the micro with some instant rice — this was our side. The food was WARM and did not have much flavor.
If you are into watered down drinks, food that lacks flavor, and disappointing service — this is your place.

Having tried this restaurant a few months ago with less than satisifing results, my daughter and I decided to try again. Armed with a Local Flavors deal (buy $ 15 food-​get $ 30), we slid into a booth around 8:30 on a Wednesday night.
The salsa was pathetic, weak and runny with no substance. Seeing this is the first thing your public usually has at a Mexican restaurant, you would think you would like to make a better impression. Chips were ok.
Ordered drinks and Carne Asada dinners, both cooked rare. The steak was done perfectly but the rice was once again bland and the beans were runny and cold.
Service was attentive but I don’t think this is worth the money. Just call it like I feel it. Pass!

I wouldn’t have come here based on Unilocal reviews, but I had a buy one free get one free meal coupon so we decided to try it! First of all the chips and salsa are nothing special. We both got shrimp tacos which were delicious, but the beans and rice were again nothing special and pretty bland. Overall, this place is average and doesn’t warrant another visit. It was still worth it for the buy one get one coupon though so I’ll give 3 stars. By the way, the coupon came out of an entertainment book, which you can order online.

I would like to start off by saying that I hate writing bad reviews. I’m giving this place a two star because I added a star for the service. If the service was meh it would be one star.
Came here during the week around 8ish. Hostess was super friendly who seated us right away, waitress who was also very nice and friendly did a wonderful job, came up to the table right away asked us if we wanted drinks etc. nothing against the service, it was wonderful.
But the food is another story… Their Queso Fundido appetizer is what we started with, and it came to our table within one minute after the order was placed. It was lukewarm and extremely runny. I doubt that it was chihuahua cheese. Their chips were ok and salsa tasted generic store bought. No way they make that in house. My entrée Fiesta Enchiladas, I decided to go with all three sauces, red, green, and mole; each sauce was more disappointing and very bland. Also my cheese enchilada didn’t have any cheese in it. Seriously, I’m not kidding about this.
My brother had steak dinner with chile relleno and his steak tasted old and it was chewy. Relleno had hardly any cheese in it.
Also there is NO WAY that they make their beans, tasted like they came out straight out of a can. I can make better canned beans than this place.
Flan was delicious though. That was the only thing that I enjoyed.
If you like bland American Mexican food then you should definitely try this place.

We came back here which was great because last time their outdoor tv’s weren’t working and it was too early for the fire pit. But not tonight everything was on and working! I would suggest different chairs for their outside the low top chairs you feel like you can’t sit up. The high top tables I noticed a few people moving cause they were either too uncomfortable or their butts didn’t fit into the seat? We had the chips and guacamole which I wouldn’t recommend! Go to Mago if you truly want freshly made guacamole that has tremendous flavor! This guacamole had absolutely no flavor! There was no salt on our table or we would have grabbed for that! Their chips taste like cardboard. No salt or anything! But everything else is great! A few tweaks to get things right?!
