La Margarita — Restaurant in Carmel

Shocked I hadn't already reviewed this place. We've been to Sun King Carmel 3 times and have ordered food from here 3 times.

Terrible service, I didn't get a proper chance to actually enjoy and review the food. Waste of $20 dollars, I tipped the...

Today at 7:00 PM was told they only have guacamole and chips, even though sign outside says 9:00 PM close and online says 8:00.

Otherwise food is not bad, I do love the nacho chips made on site (when I am actually able to get them, that’s what I was going to get before I was turned away). Atmosphere is Carmel, with Sun King brewery next door if...
