I actually used to work there. I quit in 2003 and haven’t been back. When I worked there I ate off the kids menu because it was all I could afford (or finish).

[...] 5. First off, I don’t know exactly how I ended up recommending Las Margaritas as one of my top five choices, given that I had a horrible experience a few months later. [...]

Hi Jake,

I’m sorry to hear about your negative experience at Las Margaritas. As you can see from my blog, I don’t like it either. Too bad management doesn’t seem to have found good staff yet.

"We had an unpleasant experience at Las Margaritas last night. We were seated in a table next to the bar and had a waitress who served us all night and she appeared friendly.

Gave the waitress a 14% tip. I think this is about normal but the waitress came by and started to give us a speech about how our tip was far less than what she deserved. We found her attitude to be condescending and tasteless. All that friendliness she displayed now appeared contrived and was largely dependent upon a tip far greater than what we had offered. There was no reason for her to engage is such a lengthy dialogue to tell us we badly underpaid her tip.

Hi Mitch,

No, not yet. I’ve been curious about it but I end up not going there because I always go to (formerly Soda’s Diner, now) The Dunbar.

Reading back on your blog, couldn't help but notice this...

I agree wholeheartedly. I was employed there for a brief period of time, and found it incredibly rude even then. I've been back twice and NOT once have I had good service.

They advertise themselves as a great place in Kits, but I'd rather go to Hell's Kitchen than Las Margaritas anyday! Rude, annoying, and inflexible in how they treat the menu... I've been in customer service (7 years in restaurants) and it's some of the worst service I have ever had.

Have you had a chance to try the mexican restaurant on Dunbar yet? Mexicali??
