My wife and I had dinner here tonight and were astonished by how delicious it was! These were absolutely 100% certainly THE best chicken fajitas I have savored anywhere - including Mexico itself! My only regret is that I don't when I will be back again.

This is a fun place and clearly, margaritas is what people order and enjoy. I had a melon frozen margarita and it was quite delicious. I also their fish tacos which was quite different than what I’ve had at home and in California, as they use crushed tortilla chips for the batter. It’s much crunchier than is typical yet I really liked it. Last, the service was great - friendly and quick.

All the staff was so friendly and helpful. Skillet Burito is amazing and taco Tuesday includes really good tacos. Was only in Portland for a night but if I was there longer I would be a regular at Margaritas mexican restraunt!
