Best Margaritas in Austin

[PabTexas]

Personally, I like the ritas at Jaime's because they are loaded with alcohol and they aren't too fruity.

Trudys also has pretty good ritas.

And no, the ones at Baby A's don't count since they have no tequila.

 

[TexasWolf]

Although this is not a Tex-Mex place, Jeffery's makes a great one.

When I was a liquor rep, I always thought Miguel's had good ritas. Manuel's has good ones, too. Anyone remember when the Manuel's up north was still Xena, and they had the rita with the chili pepper floating in it? It was awesome!!!

 

[chitwood]

Fonda San Miguel makes some damn good ones, and it's just around the corner from my house.

 

[MulletHorn]

I second Jaime's. Plus, their hot sauce is so damn hot you end up sucking down 4 ritas before you know it.

 

[Horn_of_Plenty]

I vote for Ceder Door. Mexicans.

 

[D_Wreck11]

Trudy's Top Shelf with Herradura Anejo....man, is that good! And while technically not a true marg, the purple at Baby A's definitely deserves mention. Chuy's straw-lime swirl completes my list.

 

[OrangeBlooded]

Jaime's during happy hour has a pitcher of margs (60oz) for $16.

 

[PabTexas]

They used to be $12...but Jaime had to raise the prices... damn thos Ritas are good.

You guys are making me miss Texas in a big way. Gotta vote for the Mexican Martinis at Trudy's. And the frozen ritas at Jaime's.

 

[PabTexas]

Nester the Molester? Is that you bro?

It's Pab. You're missing Austin? **** dude, I'm all the way over here in Atlanta....

 

[lnester]

Pab, baby...yeah, I'm in SLC teaching ski lessons at Park City. Just got the Olympics outta here, but not much new snow to talk about.

How's Hotlanta?

 

[Durkee]

I need to get to SLC for some skiing this season. I would think there would be some good deals after the Olympics. Ever see Picabo Street around Park City?

 

[lnester]

No Picabo sightings yet...although my buddy lives on Picabo Street near The Canyons.

PC is great right now. Slopes were absolutely empty today, and the snow is still great. More snow on the way this weekend (I hope!!).

Trudy's Mexican Martini are the BEST. They are pretty much margaritas in a martini glass.

 

[Durkee]

I've been looking at getting a cheap flight out there now that the games are done. I was there a few years back, and did PC, Alta, Snowbird and Snowbasin and it was the best skiing I've ever had! We partied at the Port of Call every night!

 

[TTUEX]

Nothing beats the rita from Taco Cabana. So fresh.

 

[PabTexas]

Taco C? You have go to be kidding me...

There is only ONE Taco C over here in ATL... and it is 30 minutes from my house...

 

[X Misn Tx]

Trudy's
Jaime's

 

[jimmyjazz]

I had a marg at Fonda San Miguel tonight. It was pretty good.

Check out Curra's . . . if the bartender isn't nursing an X hangover, their margaritas can be good.

 

[JackieMartling]

Get a martini at Trudy's w/ silver Petron.

To die for.

 

[HORN_FAN_86]

Trudy's gets my vote now. Whatever happened to Jorge's Uptown Bar. They had the best happy hour and rita's...

I've been out of touch with Austin, whatever happened to G&M steakhouse....

"Spam, Spam, Spam, eggs and Spam..."

 

[bullzak]

I heard GM got behind on the taxes and bit the dust. Tragic.

 

[Nacho]

remember that texmex joint across from howdy honda that served drive thru margaritas? they didn't card either.

G&M closed at least 5 years ago.
