7 Of The Best Places To Order A Margarita

The famous Frida’s Margaritas, found in Mexico restaurants nationwide – Frida’s jugs are loved by many. The team at Mexico have crafted up 10 of their favourite margaritas to serve up shaken or frozen, made from 100% Blue Agave Tequila. Paired with Mexico’s famous fried chicken, you’ve struck a winning combo.

A wildcard being thrown into the mix, Miss Clawdy is a South American restaurant offering something a little different than the usual. Opt for their Chilli Margarita – House infused chilli tequila, Southern Comfort, triple sec, fruit puree, lime juice, and a bit of sugar syrup to sweeten things up. Reckon you can handle the heat?

The Mission Bay Mexican joint we all know and love, Dos Amigos serves up a generous margarita. With eight flavours ranging from the classic recipe to agave nectar (as well as a virgin option,) you can tick each combo off one by one.

What could be better than a cool margarita enjoyed on a sunny rooftop? Not a lot. Chef Nic Watt’s INCA is the place to go for a rooftop experience with authentic margaritas to hydrate your visit. Ask your waiter for the Margarita Of The Day – churning around in their in-house slushy machine, you’ll receive a generous, tasty portion of their daily special frozen marg to accompany your delicious meal.

No margarita list would be complete without a mention of the historical Mexican Cafe on Victoria Street West. Capturing margarita-lovers with their attractive Happy Hour margaritas and 12 different flavours to choose from, it’s safe to say the Mexican Cafe will always leave you satisfied. (P.S They highly suggest you request your marg shaken, not blended for a true Mexican experience!)

Home of the margarita pitchers, The Flying Burrito Brothers has been running Newmarket’s Mexican scene since way back. Taking their tequila very seriously, head along to the central spot to try one of their Tequila tasting flights to find your fave, before diving mouth-first into a pitcher of the stuff. If you’re on the shore, not to worry – The Flying Burrito Brothers now also operate out of an Albany joint too, making their margaritas that much sweeter for North Shore patrons.

Birkenhead residents, Jose’s Cantina, know a thing or two about making a mouthwatering margarita. Labelling them as “addictive”, it’s hard to say no to another round of their tasty tipple. Not one to shy away from playing with fire and heat, our top pick at Jose’s is their mango margarita with a chilli salt rim. There’s always something exciting going on the Birkenhead joint – between activated charcoal margs and live music and happy hours, the atmosphere is just another added bonus.
