Whether you're a Las Vegas visitor or a Las Vegas local, you'll love the selection of tasty margaritas served in some of Las Vegas's bars and restaurants.
El Segundo Sol
If you're looking for traditional margaritas, then El Segundo Sol is a great place to go. El Segundo is known for making some of the best margaritas in Las Vegas using fresh lime juice and high-quality tequila. You can choose from classic, frozen, and fruity margaritas with flavors like strawberry, mango, and peach. And if you don't want to miss out on the LOCO Hour deals - 3:30 pm - 6:30 pm Monday-Thursday.
Hussong's Cantina
Another great place to try margaritas is Hussong's Cantina. If you're looking for the best margarita experience in Las Vegas, you won't go wrong with the Original Margarita, actually created at Hussong's, created by bartender Don Carlos Orozco in 1941. Hussong's also serves various kinds of margaritas, from classic to modern variations, like the Smokehouse Margarita, which is served smoke-infused and with smoked salt.
Border Grill
With a modern twist on Mexican cuisine, Border Grill is a great place to have some amazing margaritas. The establishment offers classic, fruity, and creative margaritas, with the Prickly Pear Margarita being a favorite. Made with freshly squeezed lime juice, Patron Silver tequila, and prickly pear puree, this margarita is a must-try!
Javier's
Now listen I know we are talking about the margaritas but I have to tell you one of my favorite things about Javier's is the ambiance. It's by far the best on this list. The food they serve there is so elevated at this restaurant. So when you've had one too many of their amazing Margaritas - (classic, on the rocks with salt is my favorite) make sure you get some food.
Juan's Flaming Fajita and Cantina
Make a reservation before you head to Juan's there is almost always a wait to get a table at Juan's because it is probably my favorite all-around restaurant on this list from the food and service to the margs and ambiance. On Wednesdays Juan's has $4 16oz margaritas all day. I promise if you go there once you will go back!
Las Vegas knows how to celebrate Cinco De Mayo, and with so many amazing places to get margaritas, it's easy to see why. From traditional to modern and everything in between, there's no shortage of places to get the best margaritas in town. So make sure you try at least one (or all!) of the margaritas we've mentioned.
Happy Cinco De Mayo :)
