Very good - Colourful restaurant located on second floor in the busy Ballarat st. Big atmosphere - on the noisy side, but it was a Sat night. Good selection of Cocktails and beers - all very enjoyable. Food was excellent - Fajitas and tacos all...very enjoyable. Pork and chicken tacos hard to go past. Good for groups, fun night.More

Very cool atmosphere in this restaurant tucked away down an alley. Food was on the pricey side and honestly did struggle to understand the menu but didn’t want to be uncultured and ask haha! Yummy margaritas

Hello! We visited Margo’s on 18/05/23 and had the best experience. We have quite a few dietary requirements in the group -pineapple being the worst with anaphylaxis- and the FOH and BOH staff made us feel extremely comfortable about our dining experience, despite the menu...being full of pineapple in salsas etc. We could see the information being related around the whole team which is so reassuring, as every staff member knew about the allergies. The food that came to our table was absolutely top tier and we all enjoyed every bite- places like this make us realise why we love eating out so much. The drinks were awesome, I love tequila anyway but the cocktails were delicious. The Bad Hombre was my favourite, with the Day of the Dead being a close second. We’d like to thank the ENTIRE team for a great experience. I only got a few names - Jonas, Tash, and Cali (I think) - but we extend our thanks to everyone on site last night. We definitely recommend this place to anyone, with and without allergies :) We’ll be back I’m sure!More

Depends what you go for. Tasty food, good vibe, Good for a group. Sure you will enjoy it and come away most happy. Is it GREAT Mexican food? I didn't think so, but its tasty enough and good quality. But I wouldn't rave about it....Nevertheless it will make you happy. Staff are friendly and add to the busy vibe. For what it is, it will hit the spot as all the other positive reviews attest.More

Simply the best Mexican I've eaten anywhere. Everything was perfection. Probably my favourite was the Mexican fondue entree. If I were to critique it, I would say give me some more of the fondue cause there's way too many corn chips. The tacos were delicious,...as were the light n fluffy churros. OMG, it was so good we are booked to go back on our last night in QueenstownMore

Great fun venue with awesome atmosphere. Very laid back which is what you want when you're enjoying some of the tastiest Mexican food and drinks outside of Tijuana! Our group of 6 tried a great range of food and everything was spot on. Portion sizes...are generous and everyone left very satisfied. Ribs, tacos and prawns all fab. The spicy Margs were a hit as well. My only comment would be that food comes to the table when it's ready, so if you're not sharing everything some people can be finished while others haven't got their meal. Unfortunately my meal came out last by some time so the rest of the table pretty much had to watch me eat after they'd finished theirs. Not a huge deal but when we go out to eat together we like to actually eat together. It didnt affect us having a great night and will def be back next time we're in town.More

Look, I almost don’t want to write this because I’m a local and I don’t really wanna tell everyone and it be too busy next time I want to make a reservation. But I go here every few months (don’t get out a lot with...little kids) and I always think that … but then the next day I think about how good the staff are here. The food is always absolutely flipping delicious. Every time. The menu changes frequently, and yet never disappoints. The music might be a bit loud upstairs but I’m probably a bit older than their average customer. But it’s the staff. Every time, they amaze me. I know the staffing shortages in this town are severe, and yet this is one of the few places where the service is excellent. NZ isn’t known for great service, there’s very little tipping culture and most kiwis know that and don’t expect this level of attention - yet the service here is actually at Canadian standards. The margaritas (both my strawberry frozen one and hubbys spicy one) are perfect, and I just love this place. I will keep coming back. Please don’t change. Thank you to all of your wait staff for just fabulous service every single time 👏👏👏👏👏👏More

We have not had good Mexican food on our trip, but this place changed that! We had their guacamole and split their chicken fajitas. Both were wonderfully fresh and tasty. Great service and good margaritas as well. Suggest you book in advance as restaurants get...very busy and we saw many people be turned away.More
