Margarita's Mexican Restaurant

Margarita's Mexican Restaurant sits on North Fitzhugh Avenue in the heart of Dallas' vibrant Arts District, just a short walk from the Dallas Museum of Art and Klyde Warren Park. The bright, tiled façade invites diners into a lively space where colorful murals celebrate Mexican heritage and the scent of fresh cilantro fills the air. Inside, reclaimed wood tables and hanging papel picado create a festive yet relaxed atmosphere, perfect for families, friends, and business lunches. The menu showcases classic Mexican staples prepared with locally sourced ingredients. Start with the house‑made guacamole, served with crisp tortilla chips and a side of pickled jalapeños. Signature tacos—such as the Al Pastor with pineapple‑marinated pork, the Baja fish taco, and the vegetarian roasted‑pepper taco—are praised for their balanced flavors. For heartier fare, the chicken enchilada smothered in a smoky chipotle sauce, the carne asada burrito packed with cilantro‑lime rice, and the sizzling fajita platter arrive tableside on a hot cast‑iron skillet. Margarita's also offers a selection of handcrafted margaritas, including a classic lime, a spicy jalapeño, and a seasonal mango‑passionfruit blend. Live Latin music plays on weekend evenings, and the bar area glows with neon signs spelling out "¡Salud!". The restaurant opens at 11 am daily and stays open until 10 pm, with a convenient take‑out window for quick lunches. Prices range from $8 for appetizers to $18 for main courses, making it an affordable spot for authentic Mexican cuisine.
