Margarita Island - Ormond Beach

We went for dinner with a party of 4 adults and 3 kids. The kids plates are a good deal - a soft taco with rice and beans. The service was fine after it started. We sat down about 15 minutes before a server came and said she was just helping us until our server was ready. Because it was their fault we missed happy hour (2-5) she gave us the discount on our margaritas. In general the food was fast and fresh. But my husband said his buggies were terrible - precooked and possibly kept warm too long. He loves peppers and onions but he wouldn’t eat these. I got the molcahete, he got the chimichurri. My son got carnitas. All the proteins were good. Rice and beans just ok. All in all a more than acceptable meal. Decor is really fun and funky.

Our first time at Margarita Island in Ormond Beach was way better than we expected. The moment we walked in, the place had that perfect mix of beach‑town energy and laid‑back Florida charm. The music was good, the crowd was fun, and the whole atmosphere just made you want to stay awhile. The drinks were excellent strong enough to feel like a real cocktail, but smooth and balanced so you could actually enjoy the flavor. The tequila is everywhere. If you can think about it they probably have it. You can tell they take pride in what they pour. The bar setup is clean, the service is quick, and everything just feels easy and welcoming. And seriously… ask for Alex. He’s one of those bartenders who makes the whole experience better without even trying. Friendly, attentive, and knows exactly ho

My daughter and I were excited to eat at this beachside mexican restaurant, but were greatly disappointed when we left. It is beautiful inside and we were quickly seated- but things went downhill after that. Chips and salsa were okay- but not great. Our waiter was ok. My daughter ordered birria tacos, they came with beans and rice. I’ve had birria tacos many times before and these were not authentic at all nor did they taste good. I ordered Chihuahua tacos. They were absolutely the worst tacos I’ve have ever had. Soooo greasy and had an awful taste, I only ate 2 bites, and couldn’t eat another bite, it made me sick. We complained to the manager who stated there was nothing he could do about it. When I told him the food was making me sick, he said there was nothing wrong with the food and t

Service was excellent and the food was delicious. Chips and salsa were really good. The menu had a lot of fish items if you like that fish meals.

Margarita Island has been nothing short of excellent every time we have visited. From the greeting when arriving to the level of service we've recieved on each visit. The restaurant is new, clean and decorated tastefully. Service has been outstanding. The Gonzalez family certainly knows how to run a restaurant. On this visit Christopher was our server and Chris did a fantastic job. He made us feel welcome and like family. When I looked around at others having dinner everyone was enjoying their food and their visit. Their menu is large with plenty of variety for everyone. The margaritas were very good as was the food on this visit as it was on prior visits. Margarita Island is now our favorite for Mexican food.
