“We stopped in for lunch on a Saturday and could have happily stayed all day. Great food, super friendly staff!“

“Chanced to eat here as a pleasant day and they had outside seating. Their caldo pollo (chicken soup) was excellent. Caldo Pollo is a sentinel dish. If a place has good caldo pollo, carnitas, and tamale it's pretty certain everything else will be good. Also had a very good torta cubano. The extra spicy salsa (you have to request) was superb. Love the staff.“

“Definitely the best place for Mexican food In Columbia and I would argue within a good 50 mile radius. This location is small, but it’s definitely worth the wait if you have to. The price is very reasonable as well, considering the amount of food that you get.“

“A blast from my past. I live in the south and only get pancheros when I come up north. I was pleased to see it in Columbia so I had to visit. Queso tastes just like I remember. I think they should grill the finished burrito after it’s bobed and rolled. I think that would add a little more texture to the tortilla.“

“Decided to get a burrito and chips & queso for lunch. I got the steak fajita burrito, rice and beans side, queso and cheese and a size of guac. The queso is on the thin side and spicy but realllllly good. The guac needs some flavor. The rice and beans were flavorful and the burrito was amazing and flavorful. The portions are massive and I have lunch for tomorrow. I love that there’s a drive through window. I preordered for pick up after a training class and the food was ready at the time requested. You can order through the drive through but please don’t. Please pre order or go inside. Leave the drive through for quick and easy pick up. Will definitely be back. I want to try the breakfast burritos!“

“Favorite Mexican food in town!“

“Fantastic staff. Thanks for making Boone Hospital’s PT month extra special. You went above and beyond on short notice. Food and service top notch!“

“Years ago I fell in love with their mole’ poblano. The sauce was so dark and rich and thick but for the last 5 years or so it is not the same. Now it has some red mixed in and is more like enchilada sauce. I can get a jar of Dona Maria and make it better at home. Other aspects of this place are fine but just wish the mole’ was like it used to be.“

“They make the best tortillas. We drive 40 minutes to Columbia just to get them!“

“Visited for my sister's graduation dinner. I called to make a reservation and wasn't sure what time the graduation would end so I said 5:00 PM. The graduation was quick and we got there at 4:30. Even though the initial server assigned to our table wasn't there yet, they still seated us at 4:30. The menu was large (almost too large) with a good variety. We let the server know we wanted to split the bill 5 ways and ordered drinks and then food. Everything was pleasant throughout, the food was good, and no mistakes were made. They had a Jonas Brother concert muted on the tv.
Overall, would definitely recommend!“

“Would definitely be a regular if I lived in the area! Good portions, tasty food, loved the chips, salsa and queso!“

“We have been eating at Las Margitas for over a decade and it has been amazing everytime. Today however we got to try out the new to go drink containers and they are amazing! They have truly thought outside the box and revolutionized to go drinks! Thanks Las Margs!“

“The food is great and service is always great!“

“I came for the chorizo, my favorite, and the horchata was freshly made and honestly the best I’ve had in many years since moving to Columbia. I look forward to coming back.“

“Kelsey & a staff member stopped by our office with Chips and Queso one afternoon, so I ordered catering for a meeting later that week.

The hot bar was delivered hot and fresh (we had the option to have them set it up in warmers, but we declined as there was no need) Super friendly and professional - and right on time! The staff had lots of compliments on the food!
(Atmosphere stars don't really apply to this review)“
