Located in the former San Jose building off Sams Point Road on Lady’s Island, the new Mucho Margaritas Mexican restaurant lives up to its name.
The newest feature on the drink menu is the formidable Tower of Margaritas. The long, tall tower is filled with ice and their special margarita recipe and brought to the table where the handy spout

The menu offers many of the same items, but we were excited to try a new appetizer called Queso Fundito made with cheese, mushrooms and chorizo. Served hot, it is an ultimate dipping companion to tortilla chips.
After a long week, we were all in the mood for some meat. Kim ordered the piping hot and delicious steak fajitas, while Nikki had a steak quesadilla.

Mucho Margaritas is located at 5 Sams Point Road, Lady’s Island, across from Publix.
