    Very hospitable staff first of all. The margaritas tasted great and the ambience was very nice as always. I wished I had been given the original receipt when I signed the check so I could see the total before taxes, but not a big deal. While the prices seem higher, I do feel like the portions are generous. Can recommend.

    As always, I really enjoyed my dinner. I frequent this restaurant several times a year. Been coming here for almost 50 years. My go to dish is the steak picado meal with corn tortillas and a refreshing strawberry margarita! W-

    Service was extremely slow. We waited an hour and fifteen minutes for our good after we ordered. We were only updated when we asked. We were seated by the owner and then the waiter asked us who seated us there. Very rude. I have been coming here for 50 years and this was the worst service ever. We waited at the bar for 20 minutes snd was never asked if we wanted a drink. Very disappointed.

    I recently dined at Tia Margarita in San Francisco with 4 friends, and I can't say enough about the fantastic experience we had! We were lucky enough to sit on their lovely outdoor patio, which provided the perfect atmosphere for our meal. The service was outstanding; our server was friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. The food was equally impressive. We started with some delicious chips, fresh salsa, and creamy guacamole that set the tone for the rest of the meal. For the main course, we had the chicken tacos X2, which were bursting with flavor, others enjoyed the steak fajitas, Gambas al Ajillo X2, each cooked to perfection. Each dish was well-prepared and beautifully presented. To top it all off, the margaritas were amazing—refreshing and perfectly balanced. Overall, Tia Margarita exceeded my expectations, and I can't wait to return for another delightful meal!
