Type of Margarita Tasted: Mexitini
Ingredients Listed on Menu: Sauza Gold tequila, Patron Citronage & Sweet and Sour
Review: Landry's Mexitini is shaken tableside 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.

Type of Margarita Tasted: Margarita Especial
Ingredients Listed on Menu: Patron Anejo Gold tequila, Grand Marnier and Sweet and Sour
Review: While looking at the menu at Del Pueblo Mexican Restaurant you are treated to a wide selection of reasonably priced margaritas. We ended up choosing a tasty version called the Margarita Especial . This drink has strong characteristics but goes down remarkably smooth. The sweetness is moderate and balances well with the freshness of the other ingredients.

Type of Margarita Tasted: Ultimate Margarita
Ingredients Listed on Menu: 1800 Reposado, Grand Marnier and "signature sweet n' sour"
Review: Red Robin lists their Ultimate Margarita as the "best of the best." The drink tasted like a thick generic mix and was only partially saved by the tequila. Additionally, this margarita was on the high of the sweetness meter which made it less appealing.

Type of Margarita Tasted: Cadillac Margarita on the rocks
Ingredients Listed on Menu: 1800 tequila, Grand Marnier and lime juice
Review: On a beautiful weather day, Kemah Boardwalk is an excellent location to enjoy a quality margarita. The Cadillac margarita partially delivered in this area. While the drink had a favorable taste it was a tad sweeter than preferred. The alcohol content was on the extreme low side. Another troublesome note, the drink was served to us in a small plastic cup. Maybe if we sat down at the restaurant and not the bar we would have been treated to glassware.

Type of Margarita Tasted: Top Shelf margarita on the rocks and frozen
Ingredients Listed on Menu: Top Shelf margarita - Patron tequila
Review: Escalante's Mexican Restaurant serves up their version of the top shelf margarita in a clear shaker. The drink pours out smooth and goes down the same way. We especially enjoyed the taste which consisted of fresh lime juice with moderate sweetness. Our margarita was mixed perfectly as it was not overly strong and you could still taste the tequila.

Type of Margarita Tasted: Frozen Original Margarita and Patron Perfect Margarita
Ingredients Listed on Menu:
Original Margarita - "Rudy's Special Recipe", Patron Perfect
Margarita - Patron Silver, Patron Citronge, Cointreau and lime
Review: Rudy's Grill and Cantina in Cypress has a stellar selection of margaritas. Our favorite of the night was the exceedingly smooth Patron Perfect Margarita. You can not go wrong with this well mixed drink. The frozen house margarita was also top-notch, exhibiting tasty flavor and excellent ratio of tequila. We were also treated to a margarita that is not yet featured on the menu. A strawberry liqueur was added to the on the rocks house version of the margarita which surprisingly did not overwhelm the drink with a sugary taste. Rudy's offers an extremely friendly staff and wonderful margarita drinking experience.

Type of Margarita Tasted: Grand Gold Margarita
Ingredients Listed on Menu: Grand Marnier and Cuervo Gold
Review: The grand gold margarita at Los Tios
Mexican Restaurant is rich in flavor and notably strong. The
presentation and color of the drink makes you want to dive right into
the martini style glass. Cuervo gold is not known for being
smooth; a premium tequila would most likely balance out this drink well.
This version is above average for those that enjoy a hearty flavorful
margarita.

Type of Margarita Tasted: Red Fish Rita, Frozen Gold Rita
Ingredients Listed on Menu: Red Fish Rita - Sauza Gold tequila, Grand Marnier, sweet & sour, splash of cranberry juice, Frozen Gold Rita - Sauza Gold tequila, Triple Sec, sweet & sour
Review: The frozen gold rita at the Downtown Aquarium was lacking in overall flavor. Any hint of a tequila taste was missing which was a huge disappointment. Overall the red fish rita was the superior margarita of the two tested. The splash of cranberry juice didn't push the sweetness over the top, producing a smooth margarita.

Review: The newly expanded El Matador Mexican Bar and
Grill provides an excellent setting for your margarita consuming experience.
We particularly enjoyed the excellently crafted flavor balanced grand
gold margarita. The drink had more of a lime taste than sweet sugary taste and paired nicely with their tasty
fajitas.

Type of Margarita Tasted: Gil's Top Shelf on the rocks
Ingredients Listed on Menu: Cavalino tequila and "original recipe"
Review: The secret to Gil's Top Shelf margarita is in the fresh ingredients, original recipe and premium tequila. This margarita has a refreshing lime taste and does not have the overly sweet mix taste some other restaurant margaritas exhibit. The owner has years of knowledge in creating margaritas and it shows with this drink.

Type of Margarita Tasted: Presidente Margarita
Ingredients Listed on Menu: Sauza Conmemorativo tequila, Presidente Brandy, Cointreau and lime juice
Review: The Presidente is Chili's signature margarita. This beverage is served to your table in a bright blue shaker you can take home for two dollars. The presentation is there and so is the taste. It's a smooth drink that benefits from the fresh ingredients. The sweetness is on the low side which is a plus.]]>
