Margs are best with some mescal and agave works really well; also, Cointreau is a must. No fucking generic triple sec (Cointreau is 40% ABV, cheap shit is often 10-15%). Fresh juice a must.
Marg mix will get you lit on fire around me.
When it's time to go out, though?
As a former DFW superiority dude, I like Javier's Margs. I prefer rocks and salt.
I like frozen salt as well, esp at Mi Cocina. Mariano's is bullshit, but Gloria's is fine and if you want diabetes and a good time you can't beat El Ranchito.
I also like an IV that only has tequila.
.75 Milagro Silver (or rep if you're a fag)
.25 Vida Mescal
1 Cointreau
1 Lemon
1 Lime (or two lime if you like)
.5-.75 agave depending on taste.
If you want to go nuts, add a jalapeño into the tin.
This shit is mind blowing.
Also: Tommy's margs that don't include orange liqueur are not margs at all. To be a marg is FUCKING MUST contain orange liqueur.
This is because the original drink naming nomenclature used to call any sour (meaning booz with lemon or lime juice) drink that contained a measure of orange liqueur a "daisy" (gin daisy, cognac daisy, etc). And since the Marg is a "daisy" with tequila, people used the Spanish word for a daisy (the flower), which is...
Margarita. -

DDY loves Javier's because it's an overpriced Dallas Mexican joint that is a good place to be seen but produces some mediocre Mexican food by my taste ... the only redeeming element to Javier's is that it has a cigar room ... so that's nice. Gloria's has always been my favorite place in Dallas proper ... you have to go to Joe T Garcia's when in Ft Worth.
Margaritas are to each their own ...
DDY is right that the best way to drink a margarita is when it is fresh ... lime juice is a must ... Cointreau is huge if you are doing it right. And always go with clear tequila ... it's much smoother in my opinion.
Where Dennis and I probably disagree is that while I prefer the higher end margarita, I don't often want to put the effort into making it. I'm perfectly content with tequila, triple sec, and mix. Can you taste the difference? Of course. But when you're just hanging around the house and looking for a quick drink, there you go. When trying to impress, hosting, etc., then go out of your way for the good stuff. -

The best Mexican restaurant in Texas is the original Ninfas location. Other Mexican restaurants can get back to me when they invent fajitas.

A whole lot of margarita superiority guys hanging out in this thread.
-
There's about to be a houston vs dallas fajita war. Houston on average is better, but dallas has some spots.
Ninfa's green sauce is what dreams are made of, can also be found at Los cucos.
Dallas invented brisket tacos, best spots
Mia's - the original
Frankie's (collin co superiority guy hot take)
Manny's uptown
Matt's in lakewood
-
Fajita wars? Who knew such a thing could exist? Fuck margaritas, tequila and I don't mix well. But I love fa-ginas. And San Diego style burritos.
