I recently visited Margos International Cuisine and had an amazing time! The staff was super friendly and spoke both Spanish and English fluently, which made things easy. They even gave us complimentary chips and salsa when we arrived, and let me tell you, the salsa was incredibly tasty – you could definitely tell it was homemade.
I ordered the Bandeja Montañero, and it was fantastic! The salad was delicious, and everything else on the plate was just as good. My boyfriend ordered a steak cooked medium rare, but it came out well done. However, he didn't mind it too much because it was still tasty.
One thing I loved was that they offer pitchers of drinks, which is so convenient and very inexpensive. It's a great option to have alongside the delicious food.
The atmosphere was really nice – not too loud, with pleasant Spanish music playing in the background. It's a clean and cozy place, perfect for a date night or a family dinner. I'll definitely be coming back and recommending Margos International Cuisine to others. Can't wait for my next visit! 😊

Bandeja Paisa
This is literally one of the most difficult reviews I’ve ever written. Margo’s was highly recommended to us by a friend and we were happy to give it a try as we LOVE frequenting local restaurants that aren’t chains. We also love international food, particularly Latin food. We arrived and took a seat in a booth. The restaurant is casual, comfortable and unassuming. They brought us tortilla chips and salsa, took our order and opened our wine for us. There was music playing at a nice reasonable volume. As time progressed, we heard “rumblings” from the kitchen. The rumblings turned into outright SCREAMING from what I can only assume was the “chef” (and I use that term loosely as no one who behaves SO unprofessionally deserves that title). The screaming continued and the music suddenly became louder… like REALLY loud. The waitstaff (one who I believe was the owners daughter)
was visibly upset. Several people left as if was a very uncomfortable atmosphere. We hung in there. We had our dinner, which wasn’t bad however, the atmosphere was unsettling. The owners daughter apologized and to her credit offered us a discount. I don’t feel they should have had to apologize for this man’s despicable behavior. This man was being downright verbally abusive towards the owner who is an older woman. I left the restaurant with my heart broken for this woman and her daughter and their server (who was also being verbally abused). Whoever he is I pray this was an isolated incident and something out of the ordinary drove him to this deplorable behavior. Margo, you shouldn’t accept that type of behavior from ANYONE I don’t care WHO they are. I’m so very sorry you had to deal with that and I hope whatever was going on can be resolved. I don’t know who this man is but please do not allow that type of behavior to be tolerated. Seek help if you need to. My heart goes out to you as I know you’re just trying to live out your dream. Best wishes to you. And to your chef, your behavior was ABSOLUTELY unacceptable. You need to seek help as well - for your anger issues.

My Boss and his Wife invited their work staff to join them for a enjoyable get-together at Margo's. The appetizers, entrees and desserts were amazing. We would like to thank the wonderful servers and skillful Chef for a memorable evening. We will be planning our next event here soon.

We have been here a few times. Great food and good service. Ribeye is amazing as is the Chorizo. Would highly recommend eating here. Love supporting a local family owned business.

Margo's is amazing. The food is delicious, the owners and staff are so warm and sweet, the service is wonderful. My family and I are Colombian, and we are so excited to have an authentic Colombian restaurant so close to home. Everything was fresh (we had seafood paella today and it was amazing), and cooked perfectly. Everyone should try the bandeja Paisa for some real Colombian flavor! Also, they let my 13 month old walk around their restaurant, and the staff even played with her and found me a quiet spot to nurse her. I can't say enough great things about Margo's!

My wife and I visited our first time here tonight. She got the appetizer cheese quesadilla.. great, fresh, tasty food. I ordered the dinner chicken quesadilla with beans and yellow rice. I fully enjoyed all the food. It's a plentiful portion. Chips and salsa was a nice bonus! We will be back. Thank you Margo's International Cuisine
