Margarita Island Mexican Kitchen & Bar has two locations in Brevard County, both open seven days a week and consistently earning five-star reviews from customers. The restaurant, which plans to open a third location in Flagler Beach, emphasizes fresh ingredients and a beachy vibe. "We wanted to bring the joy and hospitality of Mexico to Florida," said co-owner Maria Gonzalez. The menu features traditional dishes like tacos al pastor and ceviche, alongside craft margaritas made with house-made syrups. Both locations, in Cocoa and Palm Bay, report high customer satisfaction, with reviewers highlighting the "authentic flavor" and "friendly service." The restaurant’s third site in Flagler Beach is expected to open in early June. Gonzalez noted the family-owned business focuses on balancing modern touches with traditional Mexican cuisine. "Our goal is to make every guest feel like part of the family," she said. The locations serve lunch and dinner daily, with a separate bar area for drinks. The restaurant’s expansion comes as demand for Mexican food in Brevard County has grown, with competitors reporting similar increases in popularity. Margarita Island’s menu includes vegetarian and gluten-free options, catering to a range of dietary preferences. Reviews on local platforms frequently mention the "cozy atmosphere" and "prompt service." The restaurant also hosts live music events on weekends, drawing crowds from across the county. With no plans to slow down, Gonzalez said the team is exploring additional locations in 2027.
