When craving Mexican food, Las Margaritas is the ultimate Vancouver destination. From the outside the restaurant screams authentic, with bright colours and a top-notch patio that somehow make the nachos and margaritas taste even better. Inside, the colourful décor, mix of flavours and spices and tequila-based drinks are sure to be a hit with any member of the family.
Las Margaritas was established in 1980 and was purchased in 1994 by California native Dan Rodriguez and his wife. Dan started in the industry working as a dishwasher, then after already owning several successful Mexican restaurants in Europe, Dan and his wife decided to establish themselves in Vancouver and bought Las Margaritas. “I took over the existing restaurant and put my stamp on it. I changed the exterior, the interior, and basically just kept the name,” says Dan.
