La Margarita Restaurant and Grill

My daughter and her fiancé took my husband and I and my younger daughter out for lunch at La Margarita in Salem, Oregon. This was my first time coming to this restaurant and my daughter was very excited because it’s her favorite restaurant. I ordered a shredded beef enchilada. I took a couple bites and I felt something long hard and rubbery in my mouth. I spit it out and it was part of a trachea with bronchial branches coming off of it. Something like this is not supposed to be in shredded beef. I do not recommend this restaurant and I will never ever set foot in it again Absolutely disgusting!

The Mexican cream sauce was so salty and I ordered black beans and was given pinto beans. Just not good food!

Paid $20 for a plate of food, literally 7 pieces of shrimp, a few pieces of onions and mushrooms. Beans were too salty rice inedible.

We ate at La Margarita Restaurant and Grill for the first time recently. We have tried three other Mexican restaurants in Salem and, while the food was good at most of them, we thought their prices were very high. We were pleasantly surprised to find the menu at La Margarita Restaurant and Grill to be surprisingly less expensive than any of the other Mexican restaurants we have tried, and the food was excellent. We had the Enchiladas Carnitas ($15.00) and the Gerry Lewin's Combination ($16.00). They were both very good, served hot with rice and refried pinto beans. They also offer black beans as an option. We also each had a 16oz house margaritas ($10.50 each) which was pretty good (having lived in Mexico, we are pretty picky about margaritas). The total bill was $52.00 before the tip). We went on a Friday night and arrived at about 5:45pm (they open at 5). The restaurant was already on a wait list. We were quickly greeted and told there would be a wait of approximately 15 - 20 minutes for a table. We were seated in less than 10 minutes. The restaurant is comfortable and not overly decorated like many Mexican restaurants tend to be. The only improvement would be a larger area to wait for your table. The parking lot adjacent to the restaurant was full and we didn't want to pay for on-street parking, so we drove two blocks to the Liberty Square Parkade and parked. I highly recommend trying La Margarita Restaurant and Grill.
