3 Margaritas Pueblo West - Pueblo, Colorado

The restaurant is nicely decorated and the feel of the place is lively. The food came out looking beautifully plated & looked amazing. The entire staff was smiling & very friendly! The food was delicioso!! I ordered the Pollo Fundido with the rice(arroz) on the side so my husband could eat it with his food. He ordered the Loco Burrito with Chicken (Pollo). I tried a Frozen Margarita & he had a Coke. 😋 The women's bathroom was very clean & the decor was beautiful! You should see the beautiful sinks! They're gorgeous!!

My wife went here last night (1/30/25) and got horrible food poisoning. She called to speak with a manager and report the incident. He was horribly rude, laughed at her, said to “prove” it was the food from the restaurant that made her sick. We have eaten the same exact things for at least a week prior to her going out with a friend last night. This is the only meal she has had that I haven’t had and she is sick, I’m not. The worst part was that she called to report it to the restaurant to possibly save others from the same fate, but Richardo (manager) laughed her off and was so rude. Let this be your warning. Their customer service and professionalism is lacking, to say the least. My wife says she will never go back, which I’m ok with because the food is bland, sloppy, and nothing I’ve had there has been worth coming back for. This incident will also be reported to the local health department. Hopefully, they can intervene and some good will come of an inspection to help others. Of course, we know food borne illness can come from anywhere and I can safely say that most of us had it. It’s never fun, makes you not want to ever go back to a place, but the biggest disappointment is how they treated my wife. My advice, go someplace else.

Oh, here is a picture of her meal (leftovers). Maybe the health department will want to test it? We certainly wouldn’t dare actually eat it.

Edit: 2/7/25
You are correct, you had an inspection 12/18/24. Here are the results for everyone to clearly see (good or bad). It must be hard for you to apologize, but it’s a really easy thing to do. Unfortunately, you seem to lack common decency because of your pride.

It does look like it’s common practice to not wash hands regularly, throw out food that’s old, or use clean/sanitary food preparation practices, so it’s no wonder she got sick. Hopefully, this review will prevent someone else from being sick and going to your establishment. Don’t you wish you had not laughed at her and just said that you were sorry? You clearly did not follow procedure when a food borne illness was reported to you.

Fellow Texan here and Tex Mex lover.
We wanted a place to stop on the way into Denver and this place was great!!
We loved the margaritas, and were picky with our margs!
We got a cucumber, spicy mango, Azul, and Cadillac.
We would recommend the Cadillac and cucumber marg.
The Azul was a little sweet so it needed an extra tequila floater.
I would recommend the Pancho Villa, it was kinda like a Mexican stir fry. The meat quality was great; we're usually disappointed by the meat quality.

Overall, we would recommend.

Excellent. The food is incredible and maybe the best in Pueblo. The waitstaff are always friendly and the atmosphere superb. They will bring you more salsa for your chips and salsa and the chips are warm. We have been there twice and I had the enchiladas with mole sauce and the burrito colorado. My partner had the deluxe enchiladas and a three item combo. Everything was great.

I visited here the other night with my family. I wasn’t feeling good so hardly ate my meal but took it with me, the food was AMAZING. Our server was AMAZING, so we tipped well. Thank you so much to all the staff but especially the cook and our server. The ceviche was the freshest I have EVER had. The fajitas smelled so good and served sizzling! The decor, the painted chairs were so pretty even in the restroom the tiled sink was so pretty! If I am ever back in Pueblo this will be the FIRST place I eat because this was the only meal I had in four days that was worth eating. If I could give more stars I would ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I have been meaning to put in a view for quite some time. I mainly order to pick up and usually a couple bean and cheese burritos and chips and salsa. Always hot when I pick up and very good. Like my husband says," if a resturant can not make a good bean and chesse burrito then we probably shouldn't eat there lol." Thank you 3 margaritas for being consistent with good food!! Staff is so nice and friendly when I come in and probably because they know me well lol!! ☺️

Such a cute place! We went during the day when it wasn’t busy; the staff were very personable and the atmosphere is lovely. They have a good bar too. Food was delicious.

The food is good. But the service and Manager/owner is the best ever. I would recommend this place whether in a hurry or taking your time to dine. Superb service and the food is always so good. We need more places like this in pueblo where people care about their restaurant
