Best steak Chimichanga ever. My Margarita was excellent and the our server made are meal enjoyable by her attentiveness. Prices were reasonable. I will return soon because of a satisfaction I don't often experience elsewhere but left feeling "now this was great!"

Beautiful atmosphere and delicious, authentic food. I loved the bright, colorful decor and lights. I had a delicious chimichanga and the chips always come with salsa which tastes just right. We also got the warm cheese dip which is excellent. Our food came lightening fast. It was a wonderful spot to get together and enjoy.

Nice restaurant with great atmosphere. Chips and salsa are kind of small. We were 4 people and we did not get any extra, other then a very little basket and a tiny bowl of salsa. The t-bone steak with shrimps was really good. The meat was the best: tasty and juicy all the way. It comes with rice ( which I personally did not like) and a good amount of beans. For dessert I tried the flan and I was very impressed. I loved the creamy / thick texture and the flavor and I highly recommend it.

I recently had the pleasure of being served by Mimi at Las Margaritas in Cottage Grove and I was incredibly impressed. Not only did she craft delicious drinks with precision and speed, even during a busy rush, but her warm and welcoming demeanor truly enhanced the entire experience. I especially appreciated how attentive she was, effortlessly recalling my drink preference after just one order and engaging in a friendly conversation without ever neglecting other patrons. It was clear that Mimi has a true passion for her craft and a genuine desire to provide excellent customer service. She was also incredibly knowledgeable about the drinks menu and offered excellent recommendations that perfectly suited my taste. The bar area was kept impeccably clean and organized throughout the rush, reflecting a strong work ethic and attention to detail. I would highly recommend Mimi to anyone looking for an exceptional bar experience."

Passing through Saint Paul and we found this restaurant. The staff were kind, the food was hot, delicious, and fast. The margaritas are bigger than your hands. I would recommend and come back here.
