Margarita Island Mexican Kitchen & Bar UNCLAIMED

We had the pleasure of trying this new restaurant today and we were very pleased with the quality of the food, the attentive service, and we thought the new decor was a perfect fit for Flagler. It has a sophisticated beach type of feel with a varied menu and a range of creative margaritas. The appetizer list is quite small and you won't find all the lunch or dinner combos like at other Mexican restaurants, but they do offer you the opportunity to create your own. We thought we'd try one of their chef specialties and I had the Mar y Tierra which is basically a surf and turf steak and shrimp with a queso and cilantro sauce. The seasonings were very good and had a lot more flavor than I expected. My partner selected the Chipotle Salmon which had a cilantro aioli glaze and she said it tasted very good but the char grilled salmon was a little dry. The margaritas were OK but too sweet for us and priced high. We did enjoy it here and will definitely come back to try their more traditional favorites.

We were there today and absolutely enjoyed the great atmosphere with the light background music. The food was delicious. Hubby and I are picky about the spices and herbs that restaurants use and the chef 👩🏻‍🍳🧑🏻‍🍳 cooking technique is awesome in how much spices and herbs are to be used as well as how the food is properly set on the plate in displaying so much quality and color. Large food portions served. We brought leftovers home. We met one of the owner’s and he was so sincere and we hope that they both are blessed in having Margarita Island become successful. Our waitress was totally 💯. She was very attentive to our orders as well as the table behind us. She would swing by to check on us. The owner as well was asking the customers about the food that they had ordered. If they were pleased. Also, we were asked multiple times if we needed anything else. The staff had a smile. We surely will return. The bar area was packed when we left.

Great great great food, the bacon wrapped jalapeño stuffed with goat cheese are outrageously delicious! Everything we ate and drank we really enjoyed. Can’t wait to go back!

Highlight of visit: Jalapeño stuffed with goat, cheese, wrapped in bacon and the Beria tacos were excellent!

Much better than Dahlia was in this location and leaps and bounds above Cinco de Mayo. The second day opened and we arrived early but it was already starting to get busy. Loved the new decor and vibe, especially the lighting and the bar area is amazing with a kind of tiki theme. Big choice of margaritas and a few cocktails, and I will say I like how they offer margaritas in different sizes and a pitcher, but they are on the pricey side. The food was delicious! The Bacon & Goat Cheese Jalapenos appetizer was unique and awesome, and the Carnitas were superb. When we left the bar was really buzzing so hope that they keep up with the quality and good service.

Went for opening night and was very impressed!! They have done a really nice job transforming the old Dahlias with its dull gray walls into a more tropical Cancun type of feel. Our server acted like it he's been working there a long time and our food came out in a reasonable amount of time. It seems to be quite a typical menu but the flavors are much better and different and they have their own twist on the classic dishes. They also did some nice plating. I wish them all the best of success. I know the opening night is very high pressure, and I'm sure they'll do very well here.

Highlight of visit: The Surf & Turf Burrito and Verde Enchiladas were both very tasty. Many other choices and can't wait to try more.
