If you’ve spent any time in South Texas, you know tequila isn’t just a drink—it’s a way of life. While folks near the Mexican border love to debate who invented the first margarita, we’re more focused on where to find the best ones right here in Beaumont.
10 de Mayo
At 10 de Mayo, patrons can enjoy affordable, jumbo-sized, sugary, and tangy margs seven days a week. After a long day, what more could you ask for? We suggest the Berry ‘Rita: thirty-two ounces of frozen deliciousness topped with copious amounts of raspberries, blueberries, and strawberries will brighten your day.
El Viejo Tony
Locally owned and operated, locals love to brag about this Tex-Mex treasure. Delicious drink options include small, jumbo, and even pitchers full of fruit-flavored margaritas. Whether you choose mango, melon, strawberry, or sour apple, you can’t go wrong with what El Viejo Tony offers.
Tia Juanita’s Fish Camp
Located off Calder in Beaumont (and with a new location in Lumberton), Tia Juanita’s Fish Camp may be considered more Cajun than Tex-Mex. Still, their tasty and punchy margaritas deserve to be recognized. Do yourself a favor and try their Bayou Margarita, made with locally sourced Satsuma oranges.
Café Del Rio
A local chain favorite among Tex-Mex enthusiasts, Café Del Rio in Beaumont offers live music mixed with mouthwatering Mexican food. They’re well known for the 3G, dubbed the “Cognac of Margaritas,” made with Tres Generaciones Ultra Premium Tequila, Grand Marnier, lime juice, and a hint of sugar—salty and sweet, anyone?
Casa Tapatia
Casa Tapatia offers a tasty house margarita that never disappoints, however, the real kicker is their “Top Shelf Margarita,” made with premium ingredients. Head to Casa Tapatia on Wednesdays and Thursdays for gourmet margarita happy hour in Beaumont, TX.
