  Margaritas in Davenport is an absolute gem — and it’s amazing to see how incredible they are after only being open for a year! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was vibrant, welcoming, and full of great energy. The food was outstanding — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish tasted great and clearly made with care. And of course, the margaritas were perfectly mixed and delicious! Karol was our server and truly made the night exceptional. She was attentive without hovering, friendly, knowledgeable about the menu, and made sure we had everything we needed. Her recommendations were spot-on and her service was five-star from start to finish. If you’re in Davenport and craving amazing Mexican food with top-notch service, this is the place. We’ll definitely be back! 🌮🍹

  Food was not very good at all. I got the fajitas and it was just sliced steak no seasonings what so ever didn't even taste like it had salt and pepper. It was burt when it came out I immediately started stirring trying to get it to not burn to no avail. It made the meat and veggies bitter. Wouldn't let you add shrimp to dish even though they had shrimp fajitas. The salad was just shredded salad mix. Same with the cheese was three cheese shredded like youd get from walmart. Pico was good but thats hard to get wrong. Tamales were very bland. I will say one thing though the salsa was the best I have ever had though. The salsa was the only thing that made the food bearable. I mean when in doubt I guess you could always order queso cheese and just drown your food in it would've made it better unfortunately. Our server was amazing though!

  First of all, our server Kat was wonderful and attentive. I might not be giving the review if not for her. Sociable, friendly, on top of drink refills; I'd offer her a position where I work if I wasn't pretty sure she makes more tips than what we could offer. Anyways, chips and salsa - really good! Chips seem fresh, salsa has good flavor and spice that seems much more legit than stuff out of a jar or from Chili's. Margarita was good. I tend to like my drinks sweeter, and it was perfect for me. They forgot that I asked for sugar on the rim instead of salt, but whatever, no big deal. I had the Molé Chicken - savory/spicy - not bad, but with the description on the menu, I did expect a little more sweet. Maybe some caramelized or grilled onions could have added that sweetness, but I'm not a Mole connoisseur or chef, so maybe that's exactly how it's supposed to be! Husband had the Carnitas enchiladas. 3 enchiladas filled with meat and smothered with cheese and sauce? Relatively standard, but Delicious! Too bad I have to try and avoid red meats for health purposes... All in all, pretty good, but a little more expensive than I'm used to for similar meals. Not saying they're overpriced! It's probably just bulding rent and location that has to do with that; just saying that there is a restaurant near where I work that offers a similar menu for a few dollars cheaper. Great option for legitimate Mexican food in the Davenport area though!

  Im not really a big on authentic Mexican food, but the experience here was nothing less than magical. All staff made us feel welcomed, especially Karol. Working for Disney, I can usually spot the fakes, but Karol felt like the genuine article. She was compassionate to issues im dealing with and entertaining as well. Even caught her singing. She kept checking on us to make sure we were OK and made excellent recommendations. I was brought here by my roomate who visits often and now, I probably will as well.

  Our first experience here was not a memorable one. Our meals were not that hot, our margaritas were very overpriced and very Limey,and the service was slow (only one waitress and an assist by the bar tender). We read the online reviews and were legitimately excited to visit the restaurant. We came away wondering if it was possible the staff and friends of the staff made the reviews. Mexican food is our favorite go-to when we go out. Usually once a week, so we kinda know what to expect in the way of offerings and service. We found the restaurant menu was very limited compared to other Mexican restaurants in the area. The takeaway here from our perspective, this is not a bad restaurant, but nearly all the other Mexican Restaurants in the area are measurably better in every metric. You may want to bypass this establishment to get better meals, drinks, and service at a far better price at the other Mexican restaurant choices available in a 10 mile circle.
