Restaurant Review: Margarita Concept Garden
This is a really interesting restaurant, tucked out of the way in a side street and completely hidden from view. You would never know it is there just from walking in the street, as there are no signs. Just look for the three palm trees and the staircase to the yellow tower and you’ll find it. (make sure to make a reservation via Instagram or WhatsApp beforehand as they don’t accept walk-ins)
Once inside, the space is stunning, with tables outdoors in the garden, and an inside section in what looks like a large greenhouse. The music was kept at a level where it was easy to maintain a conversation. There was no DJ while we were there, but the space looks set up in a way to accommodate one. I think this would be a great space for parties. The only knock on the atmosphere, my girlfriend found the chairs to be somewhat uncomfortable.
Food-wise, the menu is interesting. We shared the labneh with pita bread and it was excellent. This is not a dish I often see on menus in Mexico. The ravioli were good, but I wouldn’t say were mindblowing. I appreciated the creativity of the potato and carrot gratin but found the portion size a little small considering the price. The fruit tart desert was my girlfriend’s favorite course. It was tasty, fresh and beautifully presented. The cocktails were also original and delicious.
Overall, I highly recommend Margarita Concept Garden. The space and concept is really unique, and the menu was full of interesting options. I will definitely go back and try more of their dishes.
