Outside sitting is so nice on a breezy summer day! We got the pitcher of margs just for convenience sake, which was delish! Even though it says express in the name, it’s lot a fast food place.
Sit down, grab a drink and enjoy the people watching.

Food was VERY good.
Chips and salsa were fresh.
We try the pollo a la crema everywhere we go.
This was the most flavorful we've had in a while.
The molcajete was also very good and portioned well for 1 person.
You can tell the entrees were most likely made to order.
Unfortunately, timeliness of the food and attentiveness of the staff did not live up the 'Express' name.
There was a large party inside when we arrived and several outside, so we will try again for comparison.
The Mexican candy drink was very good but a little small.

I had to get on and give our favorite place 5 stars.
La Margarita is our go to spot to eat and if you’re thinking of trying it you should! Our favorite thing on the menu is the Enchiladas Suiza.
We have had it time after time and it always hits the spot.
They also have the best beans & tortillas around ;)
