Las Margaritas Restaurant

That place is repulsive it should be shut downMoney down the drain I give negative stars str8 junk!!! Need my money back. Don’t recommend it to anyone

I ordered a torta the meat was cold like they had just taken it out of the refrigerator. It only had meat, sour cream and tomato. Not appetizing at all I didn’t eat it.

I grew up living next door to both of the San Juan native owners of this little gem. Back in my days, he made these amazing meals from his home and sold them. Lucky US! Now, they have Las Margaritas Rest. to share the goodness with anyone who dares. I say dare because, it’s a tiny place with no menu. You kina just have to know, or care to ask what they serve. They make these amazing taquitos topped with lomo, cueritos, fresh tomates, crema and queso fresco, cabbage and some really tasty red hot sauce. AMAZING! They also have gorditas de chicharon, tortas de lomo, tostades de cuerito or lomo, or both. If you’re ever in Boyle Heights and want something different, stop by Las Margaritas. You won’t regret it.

I love it! If you are from San Juan de Los Lagos, this place will remind you of your town. You’ll love their tacos with lomo, cueritos, queso, and crema. Their tortas ahogadas are delicious. It’s a run down place, but the food makes up for it.

Snuggled smack dab in the center of Boyle Heights, Las Margaritas serves up dishes that are not so much inspired by the cuisine of Central Mexico, but near-​exact replicas.
Don’t expect to find menu items displayed against a wall, or even listed in a traditional hand-​out menu. You either have to ask the proprietor to recite the menu or take note of the highlighted items on their exterior windows (it’s Mexican food — you most likely know what you want before you get there). The bare interior is reminiscent of an 80’s horror flick, which would help to explain why most orders are called-​in and then picked up. If you dare to dine-​in, prepare to be dazzled by their selection of glass bottle soft drinks imported from Mexico (yes sir, that’s real sugar cane in them there soda pop).
Don’t let the medium-​weight paper plates distract you from the spectacular (under $ 5) stars of the show: their tortas, tostadas and flautas. Most noticeably, these items are unlike popular versions in that they are drenched in crema (the Mexican version of crème fraîche). It certainly makes for a great take on some well-​established Mexican faves!
