The Tex-Mex Margarita: A Cocktail That Transcends Borders

Twisted Taco margartias

When you think of Tex-Mex cuisine, flavorful tacos, sizzling fajitas, and hearty burritos often come to mind. But no Tex-Mex feast is complete without the perfect pairing: the iconic margarita. At Twisted Taco Express, we’re proud to offer margaritas that embody the spirit of Tex-Mex culture—vibrant, refreshing, and undeniably bold.


The Origins of the Margarita

The margarita’s origins are shrouded in mystery, with several legends vying for its creation story. Some say it was first crafted in Mexico in the 1930s for an actress who couldn’t drink other spirits, while others believe it was popularized along the Texas-Mexico border in the 1940s. Regardless of its beginnings, the margarita quickly became synonymous with Tex-Mex dining, pairing perfectly with the bold flavors of this beloved cuisine.

Why Margaritas Are a Tex-Mex Staple

Tex-Mex cuisine is all about balance—spicy, savory, and a touch of sweetness. The margarita complements these flavors with its zesty lime, smooth tequila, and a hint of orange liqueur. At Twisted Taco Express, we take it up a notch with unique twists on this classic cocktail, offering options like frozen, spicy, and fruit-infused margaritas that elevate your dining experience.




Global Popularity of Margaritas

Over the decades, margaritas have become one of the most popular cocktails worldwide. From Cinco de Mayo celebrations to casual happy hours, this Tex-Mex staple has transcended borders and adapted to diverse tastes. Variations such as the mango margarita and the spicy jalapeño margarita showcase the drink's versatility and appeal to global palates.



Twisted Taco’s Take on the Margarita

At Twisted Taco, we don’t just serve margaritas—we make them an experience. Our margaritas are crafted with premium tequila, fresh lime juice, and house-made syrups to ensure every sip is bursting with flavor. So, if you are looking for the best margarita in Fayetteville, give Twisted Taco a try!


  • What’s the secret to a perfect margarita?

    The perfect margarita strikes a balance between sweet, sour, and salty. Use high-quality tequila, fresh lime juice, and just the right amount of orange liqueur. Don’t forget to rim the glass with salt for that classic Tex-Mex touch.

  • What’s the difference between frozen and on-the-rocks margaritas?

    Frozen margaritas are blended with ice to create a slushy texture, while on-the-rocks margaritas are poured over ice cubes. Both are delicious, but frozen margaritas are perfect for hot days, and on-the-rocks options let the flavors shine more distinctly.
