Margaritas has become an institution in Portsmouth since it''s opening in 1991. It is one of the busiest and most talked about restaurants in a very competitive dining community. It''s family friendly atmosphere and welcoming, accommodating staff are two of the many reasons Margaritas is a very popular seacoast destination.
The dining room, lounge and patio are filled with brightly colored artwork and furniture. The raised ceilings offer a light, airy feel to the interior spaces, with lots of signature folk art elements and artwork. Everywhere you look you''ll see color and style that can only be described as breathtaking. The windows are much large, offering far a lot of natural light, and all of the tables are either hand-made tile-tops or hand carved works of art.

Both the dining room and lounge areas are filled with colorfully painted, ceramic birds and animals, and many examples of clay and papier-mch pots, vases and other striking Mexican images.

Margaritas in Portsmouth is located on US Route One at the Lafayette Shopping Center, a popular shopping area that also houses Kinko''s Copy Center, Pier One Imports and Ethan Allen Furniture. A bright Mexican yellow and blue exterior color scheme attracts a great deal of attention to the 5,500 square foot restaurant, which features an equally colorful interior. The restaurant seats 120 in its dining room, 80 people in its lounge and has the seasonal capacity to accommodate another 50 people on its outdoor patio that serves a full food and drink menu.

Portsmouth is a popular tourist destination with consistent year-round business. The restaurant draws from a mix of tourists, local residents and professionals, as well as from the traffic from nearby I-95 and Route 1. In addition, the restaurant is quite popular with employees of the neighboring Liberty Mutual offices, Portsmouth Regional Hospital and the students at the University of New Hampshire and New Hampshire College.
