Trudys Best Margarita in Austin

Trudy’s Margarita – Austin, Texas

Austin is home of the Texas State Capitol and some of the most delicious margaritas Texas has to offer. Area restaurants and bars are constantly improving their margarita creations to keep up with customers taste preferences. Several years ago it was rare to find a spicy cocktail on a drink menu and now they are everywhere. This creativity is what keeps us excited to see what Austin drink managers and bartenders will come up with next. Below we show you where to find some of the best margaritas in Austin.

The Spot Margarita - Galveston Texas

Strawberry Jalapeno margarita at The Spot

We have made regular trips to Galveston in recent times mostly due to the Texas Tequila & Margarita Festival and Moody Gardens. It’s hard to beat patio seating near the beach and a cold margarita. There are many options in the area ranging from grabbing a frozen margarita on the seawall or heading down to the strand to visit one of the many bars and restaurants. While we have not sampled all that the island has to offer, several locations stand out for having delicious drinks. Out of all that we have tasted so far, these stand out as the best margaritas in Galveston.

In alphabetical order:

Lucky Lounge – 8305 Stewart Rd, Galveston, TX 77554 – Won 1st place for best margarita at the 2015 Texas Tequila & Margarita Festival.

Olympia Grill Pier 21 – 100 21st St, Galveston, TX 77550 – Two locations in the area, one on the seawall and Pier 21 near the strand and both serve their signature Greekarita.

Salsa’s Mexican Restaurant  – 4604 Seawall Blvd, Galveston, TX 77551 – The Dead Gold margarita is top notch.

The Spot (Squeeze Tequila & Margaritas) –  3204 Seawall Blvd, Galveston, TX 77550 – Excellent view of beach and margaritas to match. The strawberry jalapeno margarita is one of our favorites on the island.
