Fun place with good food: excellent GF kitchen with ample V/VG options. Our first time for brunch, with a visitor: three different sets of needs and preferences and everyone was happy. I may get the Chilaquiles every time I go back and the lunch/brunch menu is available. No coffee/tea options, but there are coffee spots nearby and Mestizo is fine with people bringing coffee/tea in.

It had been awhile since I had been to Margarita Factory and I was pleasantly surprised by the revamped menu! Lots of great vegetarian options! I had the veggie tacos which were very good. Two other members of our party of 9 had the veggie fajitas...also great! Everyone enjoyed their meals and the guacamole was excellent! But, what made this night even better, was the excellent service. Our waiter was very attentive and the manager (I'm guessing) came to our table a few times to make sure we were well taken care of. It was our son's birthday and he definitely didn't want anyone to sing to him, so they brought over a free tequila shot instead. Overall, a very enjoyable night!
