The ambiance is beautiful. My husband and I only had three appetizers and they were more than enough to fill us and they were exceptional. Yes it is pricey but you are paying for the whole experience. It was worth it.

We first ate at La Margarita in the 70’s and have eaten there many times when we visit San Antonio. We sat outside and our waiters were efficient and personable. The food was delicious. We started with queso flameado con chorizo as an appetizer. It’s sooo good! I had the sour cream enchiladas which did not disappoint. My husband ate the cheese chili rellenos and loved them. The whole experience was delightful.
