Blanco Tequila, orange liqueur and some olives and olive juice. Too much olive juice and not a good choice of Tequila. 6/10. Only because the glasses are nice, really 5/10.

Louisiana Longhorn Cafe
Midori Margarita
Basic Tequila, Midori Melon Liqueur, Gran Gala, lime juice and sweet & sour. Too much melon. It looks like it could glow in the dark. Tequila is not very discernible. Too sweet on the sweet & sour. 5/10

This time using Charro Triple Sec instead of Gran Gala, and less olive juice.
1 oz 1800 Silver
1 oz Charro Triple Sec
1 oz Pompeii Lime Juice
1/2 tsp olive juice
2 tsp simple syrup
Shake with ice and pour with strainer in martini glass with two olives.
Definitely sweeter.
7/10

1 oz. 1800 Silver Tequila
1 oz Gran Gala

Saltgrass Steakhouse
Especial Sauza Hornitos Reposado Tequila, Grand Marnier Orange Liqueur, Tires Agaves Nectar, and fresh lime juice.
Good amount of Hornitos Tequila, with a good mix of orange liqueur, agave nectar and fresh lime juice, gives it a good sweet and sour balance while letting the Tequila taste sine through. 9/10

Top Golf
Simple sweet and sour mixed with an orange liqueaur, they won't tell the name, with 1800 of course. Not much to look at, not that great of a taste. I never thought I would say this but I think this margarita has too much tequila in it. At least it has that. The extra Tequila kicks it up a click above an average 5. 6/10

Razoo's Cajun Cafe
Although it looks great, this house rita is barely discernible as a margarita. Too much cane sugar and sweet and sour mix is not that great 3/10

Jack Allen's Kitchen
Sauza Commemorativo, Cointreau,olive juice and fresh lime juice are the basic ingredients in this version. I ordered it with salt.
A little too much Contreau makes it too sweet and lime juice doesn't seem so fresh. Overall 7/10

Chuy's
Don Julio Silver tequila with Grand Marnier and Agave nectar, is all the description says. Two main ingredients, Don Julio and Grand Marnier, which always go well together, help to make this one an 8/10

Casa Padilla
Home version of Sangria Margarita with Z Gold Tequila, Charro Triple Sec, not so fresh lime juice and Madria Sangria Wine.
Gonna have to try this again with Trés Genéracíones Tequila and the Pompeii Lime Juice from H.E.B.
Should climb a couple of spots on the grade scale. For now 6/10

Casa Garcias
Casa's version of a margarita with Trés Generaciones Anéjo Tequila, Grand Marnier, fresh lime juice and some simple syrup. $9.00.
Glass not very pretty but looks don't matter if it tastes really good.
Tastes pretty good. Anejo and a shot of grand marnier always go good together, and simple syrup balances out sweet and sour and orange liqueur really well. 7/10

Mexican Martini Agavales Silver Premium Orange Liqueur with lemon juice, Agave Nectar and Olive Juice. $8.50
Olive Juice is too much. 5/10

Baby A's
Another house margarita with a touch of coconut flavor. It was a waste of time and money, 5 of 10
By the way, none of these margaritas were strong enough to do anything to my conciousness.
Very disappointing.
