Frommer's Review

La Casa de las Margaritas is a celebration of the flavors and ¡fiesta! spirit of Mexico. With a decor as vibrant as a piñata, waiters dressed in regional costumes, and a soundtrack of background music that ranges from mariachi to marimba, the experience here is a crash course in the buoyant spirit of this colorful country. On the menu, best bets include the Margarita shrimp, flambéed in brandy, white wine, and chipotle chili sauce; chicken breast served with homemade mole; or traditional chicken enchiladas topped with tomato-and-sun-dried-pepper sauce with lettuce, avocado slices, and white cheese from Oaxaca. Inside La Isla shopping center, Casa de las Margaritas also serves a spectacular Sunday brunch buffet. Live music is offered nightly from 8 to 9pm.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
