Type of Margarita Tasted: Garter Rita, La Suavecita and House Margarita
Ingredients Listed on Menu: Garter Rita - Rio Grande tequila (substituted Patron Anejo), Triple Sec, El Chico exclusive margarita mix; La Suavecita - Don Eduardo Anjeo tequila, Grand Marnier and El Chico exclusive margarita mix
Review: As back to back 1st place winners for best restaurant margarita at the Waco Margarita and Salsa Festival in 2005 and 2006, El Chico Cafe knows how to serve up a quality margarita. Their Garder Rita is served in a jumbo glass wrapped around with an El Chico branded garder that you get to keep. It's contents are smooth and exhibit the right combination of sweet and sour. Though not a huge fan of orange juice in a margarita, those who do will enjoy this version. The tequila in the La Suavecita matched well with the other ingredients in this drink.

Type of Margarita Tasted: Mardi Rita
Ingredients Listed on Menu: none
Review: Razzoo's Cajun Cafe has one margarita listed on their extremely decorative menu, the Mardi Rita. This frozen drink does not posses any extraordinary properties and can be best described as average. The taste reveals a generic lime margarita concentrate which is typical in a lot of frozen margarita machines. A proper balance of ingredients lessens a potentially oversweet beverage.

Type of Margarita Tasted: Top Shelf Margarita frozen and on the rocks
Ingredients Listed on Menu: Patron tequila
Review: As you walk into Mamacita's Mexican Restaurant you are immediately impressed by the incredible decorations and ladies making tortillas in the middle of the restaurant. The flavorsome top shelf margaritas are as equally memorable. Our taste buds were treated to a balance of flavors pairing superbly with the smoothness of the Patron tequila. We highly recommended the overall experience of Mamacita's.

Type of Margarita Tasted: Antigua Rita, Perfect Margarita, 100% El Agave
Ingredients Listed on Menu: Antigua Rita - Antigua Cruz silver tequila and Patron Citronage, Perfect Margarita - Patron silver and Patron Citronage, 100% El Agave - Herradura tequila and Cointreau
Review: The San Antonio Riverwalk is known for serving up some of the best margaritas in Texas which is why we were extremely disappointed at our recent visit to Iron Cactus. Three different margaritas variations were tried and each one came out excessively sweet, two to the point of being undrinkable. We inquired over the taste of the drink and were relayed a shocking message from the bartender "we use real lime juice so you won't be able to taste the flavor of the tequila." WHAT? One of the key components of a great margarita is the flavor of the tequila. We applaud the fact that they use real lime juice but the over use of simple syrup and lack of flavor ruined these margaritas.

Type of Margarita Tasted: Mexitini
Ingredients Listed on Menu: Sauza Gold tequila, Patron Citronage & Sweet and Sour
Review: Landry's Mexitini is shaken table side and poured directly to your martini style glass. The drink was a refreshing blend of quality ingredients. We could tell it was a mix used rather than fresh limes but the overall taste was not drastically affected.

Type of Margarita Tasted: Ninfarita on the rocks and Mama's La Perfecta
Ingredients Listed on Menu: Mama's La Perfecta - Sauza gold tequila, Hiram Walker triple sec, a splash of orange juice and fresh squeezed limes
Review: Ninfa's Mexican Restaurant delivers a strong above average house margarita with their Ninfarita. The ingredients aren't listed on the menu but it tasted of fresh squeezed lime juice. The La Perfecta was dosed with a little more than a splash of orange juice which over sweetened this version. Otherwise, the taste was pleasing.
