Food was mediocre, service was good, the atmosphere was dated. This Puertorican restaurant used to really good, but I guess after many years some shortcut have been taken. The interior definitely needs remodeling and the food could use some improvement.

My boyfriend is Puerto Rican so we’re always trying Puerto Rican restaurants. This is by far my favorite Puerto Rican restaurant! 10/10 everything is top tier. We would be regulars if we only lived closer.

Not fantastic but not bad either. Definitely middle of the road, but a good venue nonetheless. The food is good, but also not showstopping either. The Cuban and Pernil sandwiches have good flavor to them, but are slightly dry. The alcapurrias were really good. Service was amicable, but a tad slow. Overall a good experience, but not somewhere I would go out of my way to visit again.

I've really enjoyed eating great Puerto Rican food at La Marginal through the years. The best part is that it's very consistent and very delicious. Mostly I go for the buffet. The pork, chicken, and rice are all super tasty and keep you wanting to go back for more. The cost of the buffet with tax is about $20 a person, but well worth it due to the quality of food. Highly Recommended! Posting current and past photos!

Heard from a friend about this place. Took the family there for their lunch buffet. $15 per person for the buffet, which was reasonable. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere and the staff was very friendly and attentive. I tried a little of everything on the buffet. the rice with shrimp was o.k., the shrimp were large but a touch overcooked so they were rubbery. The black beans were a touch too salty for me,, but i don't like a lot of salt in my food, so that is just me. Also tried the rice with clams; same issue with the clams overcooked. Next the grill chicken was bland and a touch on the dry side; same for the pork roast-a touch overcooked and that cause the dryness. Also had the fried Tilapia fish was overcooked too and was rubbery. There was a Desert bar that was included and the Coconut Flan was Superb., the regular Flan wasn't bad either, but definitely get the Coconut one. They do have a 10% unadvertised Military discount but you have to ask for the discount to get it. Overall for me the food was O.K., the price was reasonable, the staff were great, but the food was not to the point where I would drive across town to go to again.

Had a birthday dinner here for a friend, and it was great, overall. The service and atmosphere were amazing, and the food was pretty good. Not sure what it was, but the flank steak had a weird texture to it, as if the seasoning was soaked and spread onto the meat. Underneath, the meat was tender and good, I just couldn't get past the coating on it. The appetizers were amazing, and the sides as well. We will be back, but with a different entree, to give a fair shake.
