The Best Margaritas in Houston Right Now: Frozen, Spicy & Top Shelf

Duck n Bao Cocktails

From classic margaritas to spicy, fruit-forward, and ultra-premium pours, these spots are shaking up some of the best in the city

April 28, 2026

Houston is home to some of the best Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine in the country, and when it comes to pairing a drink with tacos and enchiladas, there’s no shortage of spots serving seriously good margaritas.

As the city’s restaurants, bars, and nightclubs evolve and embrace the craft cocktail movement, Houston’s mixologists have upped the game when it comes to the humble lime, tequila, and triple sec concoction. From skinny margaritas, to drinks made with the finest tequilas and shrubs, there is a rita for everyone, no matter how simple or sophisticated their palates.

While we will forever mourn the margaritas at the long shuttered Cafe Adobe in Montrose, we are moving forward and enjoying the many new tequila creations that abound in the Bayou City.

Perfect for Date Night and Casual Dining around

A Sichuan restaurant may seem an odd place to order a margarita, but this is Houston, baby. Margaritas are flowing everywhere, and at Duck N Bao, they help cut through the mouth-numbing heat of Sichuan peppercorns. The Azalea margarita is a blend of tequila, orange liqueur, pineapple juice, lime, and grenadine. For those who want to keep on burning, the Spicy Lady is a mix of jalapeno tequila, mango puree, green agave, chile y lemon, and pink peppercorn.
