Our Story

Nestled in the heart of downtown Sparta, we’ve been serving margs since 1994.

We started as a small 48 seat restaurant, under the ownership and operation of brothers, Trini and Joseph Paiz. With continued growth and popularity of the restaurant in 2000 we were able to purchase the real estate directly next to our existing building. This purchase allowed us to grow into our current 100 seat operation and expanded an 8 seat bar, now known as Margarita Joe’s.

In 2020 we introduced our 75 person patio. DTMJ is a full service Tex-Mex family restaurant. We prepare a large percentage of our food fresh daily. All food is made with an emphasis on quality and affordability. We offer both dine in and take out orders, as well as catering options.

Stop on by, we’ve got a seat open for you.
