“Great fast service and courteous waiters“

“Shocked I hadn't already reviewed this place. We've been to Sun King Carmel 3 times and have ordered food from here 3 times.

Going in without a plan can be tough because the place gets crowded and loud pretty quickly. Beyond the challenge of trying to get a table when they're busy, the line at La Margarita can get long and seem intimidating as it might take a bit to get through. If there's more than 1 in your party, I recommend one person get in line to order and the other scout about to claim a table as they get taken quickly.

In spite of how long it might take to place the order, it's been quick from order to the actual receipt of food each time. I can't speak to much of the menu because we have done the veggie nachos each time. It's a cookie sheet full of chips layered with a generous assortment of toppings. It has been plenty quantity-wise for both my wife and me each time. Highly recommend.“

“Yummy food. Would recommend.“

“This is a very simple, straightforward mexican restaurant. The chips and salsa are good. This restaurant is really inexpensive, so you want get big portions, etc. I think this place represents a good value for the money spent. I would come back...“

“Last night I had an unfortunate situation where the store closed early and had accidentally given my order out to another customer. I called today and the staff made it absolutely right by me. Christina the General Manager is doing a wonderful job! Thank you!!!!!!“

“I rarely write reviews, but I just came in to get a bowl to go and I’d like to give this location a compliment. It was the best one I’ve had in a long time— I got a fresh batch of all the ingredients I asked for (especially the chicken and lettuce which isn’t a common experience for me), the portions were great, and the staff was kind. They had me in and out the door very quickly too, which was nice since I was on lunch break. I definitely got my money’s worth and plan to come back to this location when I’m in the area.“
