Service was great. Food was delicious and drinks were superb. Ok so we used google maps and we were still confused on where exactly this place was. We did enjoy the stroll before entering the restaurant which is upstairs. We were greeted and offered seating right away. We took the booth by the window because it was such a beautiful day to sit, eat and watch. Definitely recommend this place and we will be back before heading back home.

This was my second time here. We sat outside. Took a minute for our server to help us. She was friendly and nice. Our food was good. I thought the salsa had a tad too much salt.

The food was absolutely delicious! Perfectly balanced flavors, fresh ingredients, and great presentation. The staff was friendly and the ambience made it even better. Definitely coming back again

Food lacked flavor, but the drinks and atmosphere made up for it. Service was great, and we were happy they had a band that made it a fun day trip.

Went on Sunday to live band it was super and great ambience. Ordered couple of appetizers calamari and guacamole. Had no salt and both needed a little something. Drinks were okay not wowed. First drinks weee string and 2nd round were a little weaker. Service was not the greatest . Needed to get up and go to the bar to ask for a waitress and/or order a drinks. May give it another try.

Our waitress was either in a hurry to wait on our table or rushed for other reasons .. sadly next to me there was a celebration with a large group of ladies..how ever one lady took her pet..a small breed dog..but that dog barked at everyone or everything that moved . 🤦🏻‍♀️ How saw..most of the time I was in a conversation with my friend we could hear each other because of the dog loud barking!! I own dogs..several 3! But don't take them with me to public restaurants!! Intake them for walks! To the park! And dog runs...not to a public restaurant even if is outside ( patio area).please people be considerate of others!!! If I see another person with a pet in a restaurant I'll simply leave.

The food was average overall. Both the Albondigas and Chicken Tortilla soups were served cold, and the quick delivery suggested they weren’t freshly prepared. On the bright side, the Mexican Flag enchiladas were delicious. The staff was friendly, but service was quite slow—we had to follow up multiple times for our orders. However, the live band and beautiful views made for a great atmosphere.

I ordered a refried beans and rice, instead of cheese sour cream burrito. And all they gave me was a refried beans burrito. I never had a bad experience with them before. I always had a good experience with them. They were so busy because of the parade of lights and stuff.

⭐️⭐️ 2/5 – Disappointing Experience at Margaritaville Margaritaville has a nice atmosphere and a wide variety of dishes on the menu, which initially made me excited to try it. Unfortunately, the experience fell short in a few key areas. The food itself was not great, lacking the flavor and quality I expected. On top of that, the customer service was not good — which made the visit less enjoyable overall. With a few improvements in food quality and service, this place has potential, but based on my recent visit, it just didn’t live up to the expectations.

I have been here before 2 or 3 times. I thought I had reviewed them before but I guess not. Anyway, it had been about 2 years from the last time. Keep in mind we drive from Long Beach to come hang out in Ventura and this is the place we look forward to eating with friends and family. So we were there for lunch on Labor day, it was 4 of us this time. We ordered drinks, the drinks are okay, a little pricey for the quality and alcohol content. Then we place our food order. They had brought chips and salsa. There was maybe 10-12 pieces of chips and at the bottom there was crubs or broken up tortilla chips. I had to ask for more. When the food came my wife thought she was getting a decent serving of ceviche and it was 1 tostada with chips around the plate. The tostada is almost $20 with tax and tips and it's not good ceviche. My $30 dollar mixed fajitas had like 2 oz of chicken and beef with 3 shrimps. I took pictures before touching it. Our friend's chile verde plate was cold. And the corn tortillas were horrible. I do some cooking myself and know good food and quality, and this place has gone down on both. The view is amazing but they need better servers that actually listen also give people their money's worth. I don't mind paying your prices as long as we get what we're paying for. I probably will look for another spot to eat when we return to Ventura.

I ordered through the Toast app as we have been staying at the Harbor and wanted to pick up some food to take back to the boat. We walked up the side stairs to the outdoor patio and I had to ask for assistance regarding my order. Fast forward to getting the food back on the boat which was a whole 2-minute walk. I had ordered 2 burritos and they were ok but not great. I made a specific note not to bother to add a salad but they still filled it with salad and dressing. On the tortas and the villa burger, the kids said they were edible and the fries were good. I ordered the coconut fried shrimp with orange sauce which was amazing and would order those again. However was I was so excited for and the whole reason we even chose to get their food was for the nachos. As you can see from the picture it looks like someone scraped off a plate of dirty chips and put them in a container. They had no topping, not really and the chips were cold and soggy. Soooo disappointed doesn't even cover it.

There is one beautiful thing about this restaurant the view nothing else .... horrible drinks, flavorless food waitress was very nice its not her fault but everything else is just shame I was here months ago and it was good experience but definitely the quality is going down

We had to ask to be seated twice cause there was no host/ hostess. Our appetizer was coconut shrimp and it came out raw and we had to send it back. We then got our meals served before our drink orders came in which was weird because the meals came out in 5 minutes or less. So it felt like the food was pre cooked and prepped. We had to get our silverware and napkins ourselves. Then finally got served our drinks. It was just all around a let down… music was good though! And people watching was cool. I am updating my comment because after we emailed the manager he was great about our issue and refunded the whole meal. Really appreciated that.

My recent visit to Margarita Villa in Ventura Harbor was deeply disappointing, marked by poor customer service, lack of attention to detail, and a mediocre dining experience. Upon arriving at 5 PM, I entered from the patio side and found no clear area to wait for seating. Employees ignored me as I stood there for several minutes, forcing me to flag someone down for assistance. I was told to “sit anywhere,” but the only available table was dirty, littered with empty bottles and dishes from the previous customers. Despite sitting at this filthy table, employees repeatedly walked by without acknowledging me, seemingly avoiding eye contact. It took multiple attempts to get someone to clear the table, and even then, it was never wiped down. The service issues continued throughout the meal. I had to request a menu, utensils, napkins, and even chips and salsa—items that are typically provided without asking. When I ordered a beer and asked for a glass, I was told they only serve bottles and was not offered an empty glass to pour it into. The lack of basic hospitality was frustrating and made the experience feel unwelcoming. The food was equally underwhelming. I ordered the Villa burrito, which came with a salad on the same plate. The salad was soaked in burrito sauce, making it unappetizing. The burrito itself was mediocre at best, lacking the flavor and quality I expected from a Mexican-inspired restaurant. To make matters worse, they were out of Caesar dressing, which felt surprising for a restaurant of this type. The final straw was the excruciatingly slow process to receive my bill. Once again, I had to flag down an employee to request it, adding to the overall sense of neglect. In summary, Margarita Villa failed on nearly every level. The lack of customer service, unclean dining environment, and subpar food made for a highly unpleasant experience. Ignoring customers and failing to address basic needs is unacceptable for any restaurant, let alone one in such a prime location. I will not be returning and cannot recommend this establishment based on my visit.
