Mojito & Margarita serves a vibrant fusion of Mexican and Cuban traditions centered around bold spice profiles and tropical flavor palettes. The kitchen prepares fresh tacos and slow-cooked meat specialties characterized by authentic seasonings and regional preparation techniques. Guests encounter a diverse selection of cocktails crafted with premium spirits and muddled fresh fruit. The menu concludes with a curated assortment of Latin-inspired desserts and sugary confections that balance traditional textures with contemporary presentation. The interior space features eclectic decor elements that emphasize a lively and unpretentious atmosphere.

Mojito & Margarita receives frequent praise for its delicious, authentic cuisine and high quality beverages, with many visitors highlighting the tasty tacos and flavorful specialties. While the majority of guests enjoy the welcoming atmosphere and generous portions, feedback regarding the overall experience is inconsistent. Some patrons report excellent, attentive service, whereas others note significant issues with long wait times, poor communication, and unprofessional conduct from staff. Concerns regarding menu changes, lack of consistency in food preparation, and hygiene practices have been raised by a minority of visitors, suggesting that while the restaurant remains a neighborhood favorite for many, operational improvements in customer service and quality control would benefit the dining experience.
La nourriture est excellente, c'est notre deuxième venue,
Petit bémol pour la margarita, la première fois nous ne l'avions pas trouvé à notre goût, sûrement rallongée avec un soda, au moment de payer le propriétaire très gentil nous avait dit simplement de le préciser la prochaine fois,
Donc lors de notre deuxième venue je l'ai simplement expliqué à la serveuse qui m'a assuré qu'il n'y avait rien de plus que ce qui était écrit sur la carte à part de la glace,
A la réception de cette dernière je constate que comme la dernière fois elle est rallongée, le barmaid me confirme qu'ils mettent du seven-up,
Je précise juste que ce n'est pas écrit sur la carte & que la serveuse m'a assuré du contraire, la propriétaire a eu une mauvaise réaction, au lieu de simplement me la changer, elle m'a affirmé que chaque restaurant avait ses spécialités,
Bref mauvaise expérience client ce qui est dommage car la nourriture est excellente

The food was amazing, but I had a reservation I got there in time nobody cared lol
I stood up outside waiting for someone to at least talk to us: nothing, then I went inside & stood at the counter for over 5mn, they were so many employees but none of them said even a hi, at some point someone decided that it's awkward that I'm standing there so they asked me if I had a reservation
They need to learn some customer service skills!
I love this place, but since they moved from the smaller location next-door, it hasn't been the same. The food specials on Tuesdays are no longer available. The service is quite slow as there's only one waiter on the floor. The food is still tasty, but I noticed a couple of the items on the menu have changed I guess for cheaper cost.. One thing that I really got bothered by was that the barmaid makes your drink & instead of using a mixing spoon, she takes the paper off of your straw, puts it in your glass & then holds the tip with her Fingers that she's been touching everything with to stir.. That's not hygienic at all & it's not the proper way to stir a drink. There's no bar mats & they have all of their glasses on yellow paper towel type things. The music is very low & the atmosphere is just not the same as before.. There's a few things that need to be worked on. I'm a chef & also a mixologist so I've worked in the industry for a long time & always love to give constructive criticism
Once you have had authentic Mexican food in Mexico it's difficult to compare.
But let's try. The restaurant is very cute. We were immediately greeted at the door & seated because we had a reservation. Even though reservations are recommended there were some empty tables for walk-ins.
We were given 3 menus, one with beverages, one for specials & one for tacos & appetizers.
Once we ordered, the wait was not too long.
I ordered the Ranchero steak tacos. Two corn tacos with Oaxaca cheese, panela cheese, grilled steak, pico de gallo (chopped tomatoes, onions & cilantro), cactus. The steak was delicious & there was quite a bit. But the rest of the ingredients were practically non existent. Because of the quantity of beef, it was quite filling. I also asked for spicy salsa but they didn't have any.
My husband ordered the Cuban sandwich which was grilled pork, ham, Latin cheeses, chorizo, pickles, avocado, mayonnaise & smoked mustard & a Tortilla soup. I tasted his sandwich & it was very tasty. The only issue was that the bread was soggy. The soup was not hot & had little taste. Again we asked for spicy salsa which was not available.
The service was ok but when the bartender & or owner cane over it was great.
Would we go back? Probably not. The location is a bit far from our house & the food was not as good as the other reviews.
