Fort Worth restaurants offering curbside Margarita Kits

by Josie | Apr 15, 2020 | Drink

Fort Worth Restaurants are now allowed to provide margaritas for curbside pick up

Anyone else out there feel like Margaritas are the official “unofficial” cocktail of Fort Worth? I certainly do. That’s part of the reason I created Fort Worth’s first Taco & Margarita Tour. Did you know you can now pick up margaritas curbside in Fort Worth?

Even though we can’t indulge in an afternoon of margaritas at a restaurant, you can still enjoy your margs at home. Thanks to a loosening of the Texas liquor laws during Covid-19 you can now pick up margaritas or “margarita kits” in Fort Worth with your food orders.

Until we can all sit on a patio and enjoy a margarita with friends, here are your next best options. You can always re-create the experience by sitting on your porch or patio or just open a window. Make it social by Face timing some friends or fire up a laptop for a Zoom Happy Hour while enjoying a refreshing margarita (or two).

If you’re looking to upgrade your margarita rims, I use Halo de Santo spicy salts. They are a local company and their salts add an extra layer of flavor to margaritas (and micheladas).

Eight Favorite Margaritas in Fort Worth

by Josie | Jul 26, 2019 | Drink

FOR CURBSIDE MARGARITA OPTIONS DURING COVID-19 CLICK HERE.

It’s National Tequila Day! How will you celebrate?! A margarita is my cocktail of choice. Always. Tequila day or not. You may have heard I host a taco and margarita tour of Fort Worth. I also feel like margaritas are the unofficial, official cocktail of Fort Worth.

Not just any margarita will do though. It has to be made from fresh lime juice not sweet and sour mixers. My favorite margarita is the one I make at home which is tequila, fresh squeezed lime juice and Cointreau.

I rim the glass with Halo de Santo chile salt, it is a sour salt that adds a nice complement to a margarita. I don’t always enjoy the traditional salt rim and this is a nice alternative. This chile salt is a local product and some bars in Fort Worth use this to rim cocktails upon request.

Here’s some of my favorite margaritas in Fort Worth in no particular order.

Taco Heads

Fort Worth Margarita — Taco Heads Margarita

Taco Heads serves a classic margarita (pictured above). Level it up by requesting the Halo de Santo chile salt rim. They are running a summer long special where all frozen margaritas are $5. That’s one of the best deals in town!

The Tavern

The Tavern has one of the best Happy Hour specials which is how I discovered their margarita. It’s on the slightly sweet side but it’s still has a great balance of citrus to sweet. And during happy hour the margarita is only $5 which pairs well with any of their specially priced appetizers.

Proper

If you have not checked out Proper yet. What are you waiting for? This little bar serves up nicely crafted drinks in a charming atmosphere. On Tuesdays you can try their margaritas for $4 all day.

Righteous Foods

Righteous Foods does many things right. I love the consistency of their service and food. It’s no surprise that their margarita game is strong. If it’s not too hot, the patio is a great spot to enjoy drinks and conversation.

Joe T. Garcia’s

I feel like I can’t make a list of Fort Worth margaritas without including the famous Joe T’s margaritas. The one thing that comes to mind is strong. These babies are strong, so when you order a pitcher, pace yourself. You will thank me in the morning!!

Bar Taco

You’ll find a solid margarita option at Bartaco. Simple and classically prepared. They also serve a delightful Paloma, which uses grapefruit juice instead of lime juice.

Salsa Limon

Salsa Limon gets the prized for best margarita value. These lovely oversized schooners hold one of my favorite margaritas. Flavors are balanced and it’s easy to enjoy. Upon request you can also ask for the Halo de Santo chile salt rim.

Mi Cocula

Mi Cocula’s margaritas always taste super fresh and I almost feel like I’m back in Mexico. They also do a good job with their flavored margaritas. I especially enjoy their mango margaritas that incorporated fresh mango puree.

Ranch Water

Now, I have to mention another tequila-based drink I’ve been enjoying on especially hot days. That is Ranch Water, which is simply tequila and Lime juice topped with some Topo Chico. Refreshing and simple. I like the version they serve at Fred’s Texas Cafe, it’s the perfect drink to sip on while sitting on their patio.
