Margarita Island Restaurants

Margarita Island is a Mexican restaurant group with six locations across Florida, from New Smyrna Beach and Flagler Beach to Viera and Merritt Island. The menu leans on fresh guacamole, grilled steaks and the molcajete, a sizzling bowl of steak, shrimp and chorizo served with cactus, rice, beans and ranchero sauce. The bar is a draw too, with a cocktail list built around margaritas, including silver tequila versions with watermelon.

The Ormond Beach restaurant sits on Ocean Shore Boulevard, and the beach-town atmosphere is part of the appeal. Tables can be booked online through the restaurant's booking link.
