Great fajitas and customer service

by CSMobileUser

We first spotted this place from the riverwalk after we had dined at a less satisfying place. The food looked pleasant. We decided to tryit the next day. We are glad we did. We opted to sit outside to enjoy the music and scenery of the Market Square. I ordered the fajitas for one. Although they only come sizzling when you order for two, i was impressed. You can tell that they are a finer cut than the normal flank steak you find in grocery stores. The seasoning was also very good. The price is a little high but you"ll at least leave satisfied. There was also a waiter who was dedicated to the patio area. Our drinks were always filled and we were attended to enough but not to much. Great job to La Margarita

Great Food and Amazing Service!

by cjc781

For starters, the service was awesome. My girlfriend and I were clueless on what we should order. They were very helpful with suggestions. On top of the great service, the food was delicious. My girlfriend was cold and they brought a table cloth out to use as a blanket to keep her warm. Great atmosphere, I thought i was in Mexico! Will definitely go back any time I am in the area.

• Pros: Food and Service
• Cons: The A/C was a little cold..if i must leave a con.

Fun, lively, and awesome chips & salsa

by singleTXprofessional

A friend and I tried to get into Mi Tierra at 7:00 on a Saturday night but opted for the slightly less busy La Margarita instead. Our table wait--which we were told would be 35 minutes--was about an hour, but the Pomegranite margaritas and people watching made up for it. The chips were hot and the salsa was authentic (soooo good). Our fajitas were yummy, although they only come with pico, guac, rice & charro beans, and some sour cream would have been a welcome addition. The only negative was the slow service, and I can't exactly fault the waitstaff. This is a tourist location and, in our section alone, we saw a softball team, business people in town for a conference, and a ton of vacationers with cameras and fanny packs. If you're in a rush or highly impatient, go somewhere else (out of El Mercado), if you like to people watch and kick back in a festive environment, try La Margarita.

• Pros: Fun atmosphere, great patio, great food
• Cons: Pay for parking ($2.50 for 2 hours), long table wait, slow service
