Type of Margarita Tasted: On the rocks

Ingredients Listed on Menu: El Jimador Reposado, Grand Marnier, simple syrup and lime juice

Review: Positioned in a less trafficked portion of the San Antonio Riverwalk is Acenar, one our latest margarita samplings in the area.  At the time we arrived, the restaurant was closing so we made our way to the bar to order a drink.  Two unmarked bottles sat in the area in front of us, one which appeared to be simple syrup and the other lime juice.  Our bartender quickly mixed the drink including the contents of the bottles and served.  Upon tasting, all of the ingredients came across as extremely fresh and complimented each other in this perfectly mixed margarita.. As of this writing, Acenar serves up the best margarita we have tasted on the Riverwalk.

Type of Margarita Tasted: Adobe Cafe Rita on the rocks and Dos Lunas silver, Grand Marnier sweet and sour and fresh squeezed lime on the rocks

Ingredients Listed on Menu: none

Review:  After reading numerous reports of the quality of Adobe Cafe’s margarita we had to make our way there for a sample.  The bartender did an amazing job of blending fresh squeezed limes, 100% blue agave tequila and the other complement of ingredients which turned out to be one fine drink.  This margarita was exceptionally smooth and left us craving another.  The Adobe Cafe Rita was a delicious house margarita with a touch of sweetness.  We didn’t catch the brand of tequila used in this version but based on the taste, it didn’t matter.

Type of Margarita Tasted: Large frozen top shelf w/ salt

Ingredients Listed on Menu: fresh squeezed limes, sauza tequila and grand marnier

Review: Alicia’s Mexican Grille is a new restaurant at this location so we thought we would give it a try. We are always willing to give a new establishment a chance. We both ordered large frozen top shelf margaritas with salt. The mix had a pleasant sweetness and the gold tequila, while not 100% blue agave gave this drink a surprisingly smooth taste. This drink is nice and strong but not too overpowering. If you’re in the area, we definitely recommend sampling this beverage.
