Margaritas - Oak Park

The food was exceptional, the service was excellent, and the portion sizes were generous. I usually don’t write reviews, but this experience truly deserved it. Many restaurants have struggled with service and food quality since COVID, but this one has managed to maintain high standards. This was my first visit, and it definitely won’t be my last!

This restaurant is a charming and unpretentious place! They offer complimentary food, and the staff are exceptionally kind. I truly adore it!

The service was outstanding, the seating was generous, and multiple staff members greeted us warmly. The atmosphere was delightful, enriched with an abundance of art and history that I truly appreciated.

Every dish is bland and lacking in flavor; it feels like they're reluctant to use any spices that might be too bold for customers. When this place was Lalo's, I assume they took their recipes with them because the food is now quite uninspired.

Now, about the food: I ordered skirt steak with beans, Mexican potatoes, cactus salad, and a small quesadilla. Everything was delicious and served in decent portions. My husband had a similar dish, but he opted for rice and a small enchilada. I got so caught up in enjoying our meal that I forgot to take pictures of the entrees, which looked absolutely mouthwatering. I also ordered a Piña Colada, which was delightful. The only downside was a pricing issue. The menu listed the Piña Colada at one price, $13.95, but our bill came to $18.95. When I inquired about the difference, I was told that we were given a medium-sized drink instead of the small one I had ordered. They should have consulted us before making that change or listed all sizes on the menu so customers could choose at the time of ordering. This left me feeling uneasy and diminished our experience from great to just good. Nonetheless, I still might consider returning.
