You Have to Eat Here Before You Die

North Texas has become a mecca for Mexican food. If Tex-Mex is your only point of reference for south of the border fare, you're missing out on some delicious stuff.
You got to try one of the best kept secrets in Irving, La Margarita. It's billed as mod-mex cuisine.

When he's not hamming it up on TV, you'll find chef Gabriel Deleon in the kitchen. He's got a formal education in the fine art of food. When you visit try the "sopes." Those things are bite size morsels of "amazing! "
He's also got a great cocktail called the Metrosexual. It might look pretty; but, it will sneak up on you if you let it.
Now the restaurant is currently overhauling the website so I've attached the specifics to get you there.

La Margarita
2922 N Belt Line Rd
Irving, TX 75062
972-570-1137

I have visited alot of places and I have to say the food and drinks are simply the best. The food is just right and the Rita's are TOP NOTCH. I even have a friend that  missed his HONEYTODO list one weekend due to coming and having some Rita's with me. It's all about good times at La Margarita and the atmosphere and service is what you would want. I tried one of the new MetroSexual drinks which was pretty wild. Definately different and worth the praise. Come have fun at La Ma.

I have been coming to La Margarita from the beginning and the food is simply the best!! The atmostphere is wonderful and the staff treats you family! You couldn't ask for a better dining experience! You must try the metrosexual and a mojito. Gabriel is a hands on owner and chef and treats his employees and everyone that enters the restaurant with respect and makes you feel special! It's well worth the trip!
