📍 Margaritas – Syracuse, NY
Margaritas was a whole experience! We started with drinks and they did not disappoint. The frozen piña colada was smooth and creamy, the dragon fruit margarita was fruity with the perfect kick, and both the wild berry mojito and mango mojito were refreshing and well balanced.
For apps, the ceviche was fresh and flavorful, and the guacamole was perfectly seasoned and tasted homemade. The star of the night was the molcajete sizzling, packed with flavor, and great for sharing. The pollo hawaiano was juicy, sweet, and savory with a generous portion.
Overall, the food was flavorful, drinks were strong, and the vibe was fun and lively. Definitely a solid spot for dinner, drinks, or a group outing. 🌮🔥🍹
