Las Margaritas is not great nor authentic. I know authentic Mexican and this does not come close. Vancouver’s weak spot is Mexican restaurants, so most Vancouverites are easy to please because of their lack of experience in trying this type of cuisine. That can be a good thing, as your expectations are lower. For me, this falls well below my expectations. Great place to people watch though!

The food is ok, but the service is very slow, and honestly, the place is overpriced. The only reason it is so popular is the lack of Mexican restaurants in Vancouver.

I am still puzzled by Las Margaritas. The first few times, I got good food, good service. Then I got sort of good food and bad service. Finally, the last time I got crappy food and awful service. But people seem to keep loving it. I might as well go again and see what the fuzz is all about. Maybe they’ve changed?

Unfortunately, while the food is generally good (despite their filthy kitchen), the service here is some of the worst in the City…

Also the chipotle sauce. Long-simmered, complex, and savory (my mouth waters as I write). Las Margaritas has won ‘best Mexican restaurant’ in various city-wide polls for many years in a row, and has totally earned it. Visitors who haven’t expected anything much to praise about Mexican cuisine this far north have been pleasantly surprised. There are lots of cultural experts in that kitchen.
