Our Story
Where Family, Flavor, and Tradition Come Together
Honoring Our Mother, Celebrating Our Roots
We’re Joel and Fernando—brothers, combat veterans, and lifelong Polk County residents. We founded Margarita’s Cocina Mexicana to honor our mother, Margarita, whose homemade recipes and unwavering love inspired our passion for authentic Mexican food. Every dish reflects our family’s heritage, hard work, and tradition, inviting every guest to enjoy the flavors and hospitality we grew up with.
Where Every Visit Feels Like Home
We believe great food should bring people together, and that’s exactly what our mom’s cooking always did. So come in, relax, and enjoy the dishes that defined our childhood and continue to inspire us today.
Welcome to Margarita’s, where every plate tells a story.
— Joel & Fernando
