A sign in the door says the Belmar location of Las Margaritas is closed for good.
This is the second Mexican restaurant to not make it in Belmar, following the departure several years ago of the upscale Chama.
Chama had tasty food but absolutely lousy service. Crowds dwindled, which apparently led management to staff less servers, which led in turn to even lousier service. It was a downward spiral.
Las Margaritas always seemed to have a decent crowd, but there was never a waiting list. In my view, the food was mediocre but the patio awesome. It was a fine place for a beer and nachos, but perhaps that wasn't enough to pay the rent.
