Las Margaritas — Restaurant in Center

We stopped in yesterday evening while visiting Center, Tx.

It's a small town and East, TX so I didnt expect true Tex-Mex and tried to keep my mind open and enjoy the family we were there with.

1st, the free margarita... Mine was nothing but the margarita liquid mix with no tequila. When I ask for a shot of tequila in it, I was informed they dont have a liquor license.

The food.... Son ordered a steak that was dripping blood. We sent it back to be cooked a bit more. What came back was pure fat and gristle (sent it back, removed from check).

Mine, ordered #58, 3 beef tacos, pico, cheese and guac, rice and beans. Ask for no cilantro or onions. Was served 3 tortillas with some sort of ground beef mix? (Maybe pork or turkey?) Plain on stale tortillas, Rice and beans. Ask for pico and cheese and guac per menu. Ate 3/4 of 1 taco (it was not up to my tastes so I stopped eating) Daughter, chicken taco. Pretty much the same issues I had. Hubby enjoyed his.

The plan was to stop by Whataburger on the way back to the hotel to get son something to eat but hubby and I both became violently sick within 5 minutes after leaving. Daughter didn't make it much longer. (Thank heavens we had 2 hotel rooms with bathrooms and the lobby had a bathroom!) Son ended up picking up a TV dinner while we all clutched our guts.

The chips and salsa were very...

I never knew it was possible to screw up TexMex food in Southeast or east Texas but this place did it. Worst Mexican food I have ever had in my life. The meat on the taco, I was not even sure it was beef. It might have been goat meat. The beans where so watered down it was crazy and absolutely no flavor in anything. The rice tasted like shrimp fried rice from a Japanese restaurant. The Diet Dr. Pepper I ordered was carbonated water with coloring in it...... no flavor at all. The beef enchilada; where's the beef??? The tamale that I had I don't see how they get away with calling that a tamale. Even the chips where way over cooked, almost burnt. The only thing that was half way good was the queso and I think that is because it came out of a can.. When the man who I take it was the manager asked me how everything was, I told him the truth. He gave us a 15% discount on the meal. He could have gave us the meal for free and that would still not be enough to stop me from making this review or even make me want to go back to that...

Took my dad there for fathers day and when we get in the waitress asked of we were going to tip her and if anything else would have been open we would have left, but ordered a large queso and was never delivered got charged for 6 kids meals and we only ordered 5 waited until 30 mins after we got our food to tell us they didn't have my dads steak, wanted refills and they would not make any more sweet tea. Got there at 8 and did not leave until almost 10. My dad really enjoyed the resturaunt and that's where he wanted to go but based on this experience he said he won't be back and the dinner was a disaster. Asked for a manger at the end and they said there was no manager on duty which is poor business etiquette...
