This family-owned restaurant, established in 1963, serves classic northern Mexican fare in a warm & friendly atmosphere.

High pressure when someone's already drunk
by SalC
Ate here last night with my good friend. I had the chile relleno and he had a much better tasting combination of chicken and steak, both grilled-ish.
One thing I don't like about this place is their zealousness of pawning off more and more booze. My friend had a glass of margarita and when he barely finished that one, was offered another, which he managed to drink just halfway through, if not less. High pressure when someone's already drunk isn't my idea of graciousness, or good, cordial service.

Still ranks high after all these years...
by unzipped
I've been going to Tia Margarita regularly for over 20 years. The food is reliably good (though lately they've been incredibly heavy-handed with the salt shaker), with some dishes (beef tamales; chimichangas) being downright delicious. I don't drink so can't comment on the margs (though my friends all swear by them). Take a miss on the salads though--not good.
Parking is horrible on Clement, and I've spent upwards of 20 minutes circling for a space near the restaurant. But for me, it's worth it. But only when I have an extra few dollars in my pocket--this place is NOT cheap.
An old favorite.
- Pros: Good food; comfortable atmosphere
- Cons: Pricey; parking always an issue

Their margaritas aren't bad.
by partaaaay
Their margaritas aren't bad. The old Spanish lady who always waits on us is always partial to the men on the table - ha, ha! There's never any parking.. The food is so-so.
Why come back time and again you say? It's better than Chevy's, plain and simple.
Being the Parkside dweller that we are, this is as good as it gets around here :(
The Details on Tia Margarita Mexican Restaurant
When to Go:
Try to avoid peak dinner hours, this spot gets packed at 7pm.
The Extras:
The guacamole, chile rellenos and fajitas are authentic and hit the spot.
What to Drink:
Although this is a Mexican restaurant and it only makes sense to get a margarita, don't. The mix is too sour and soapy tasting. Try another cocktail or beer instead.
