Margaritas Restaurant Latin American Food — Restaurant in Colonial Beach

After a day at the beach we were looking for a place to eat and I was surprised to find a Peruvian restaurant just a block away from the beach. As someone from Peru I’m very particular about Peruvian cuisine but I was not disappointed by Margarita’s. We were greeted by our server who was very nice and accommodating to our group.

I can’t wait to come back the next time I’m in town with my family. I highly recommend checking out this place, especially if you haven't tried...

We stayed and ordered Peruvian chicken and yucca. Yucca was perfectly cooked and the chicken was too though I would have liked a bit more flavor.

My friend got chicken tacos which she liked and we ordered a cheese quesadilla for the kids that was very good.

Service was good and overall the place looked clean. Prices were...
