We were so happy with our dinner tonight. Not only was the food amazing, the staff were incredible! Joey (our waitress) was new, but she was so kind and she did an amazing job. We were so lucky to have her and we look forward to coming back and seeing her. Nick/John (her trainer) kept us all entertained. It really was a great experience for us all!

I always order from Margarita Mexican Cantina, and not once have they let me down. Their taco salad is packed with flavorful shredded chicken that’s absolutely delicious. After finishing my meal, I love enjoying their chips with sauce — the perfect way to end a great meal. Highly recommend this spot for anyone craving authentic, tasty Mexican food!

The food was really good, the chicken i did not like much. The restaurant is the most beautifully decorated 1 I have been in in my life. The tables chairs & booths are all painted differently. I forgot to get a picture of the bar area but it was beautiful. This is a nice big place especially for big crowds or parties. Im definitely going back. The drinks are strong.

We discovered this delightful gem completely by accident while traveling through Syracuse. The atmosphere is phenomenal with bright colors, a rustic feel, while feeling metropolitan. They had plenty of seating both inside and outside and the service was fantastic. The food was EXCELLENT and well worth the price. The menu was very diverse and lengthy. They had a beautiful bar area and wonderful drink selection.

Had lunch and was very pleasantly surprised. Mainly by the menu selection (extensive), portion size (huge), and quality of the food (incredible)! I would rate this in my top five Mexican restaurants in upstate NY given the great food, service, and really creative decor (see pictures)! Absolutely worth a stop for the guacamole appetizer. It was delicious and enough for a table of four. I had the chicken fajita quesadilla and they were really well prepared as the chicken was seasoned wonderfully and it came with a ton of rice, veggies, and sour cream. Margarita was delicious and definitely had a kick of tequila!

He is like the best waiter there! The food here is always amazing and so consistent! And it’s such a good place to hangout/ eat at!

Loved this place! Everyone in my party had a great time and enjoyed their food. I had the Pollo Hawaiian and a Raspberry Margarita and everything was so good. I will be returning. The gratuity was included in the bill (I only had a party of 4) but that was perfectly fine because the food and service was amazing. 10/10 recommend if you are in the Syracuse area.
