Tequila Bar and Grill

Called their signature Aranda's style margarita. Real Gusto Tequila, whatever that isl, fresh lime juice, Grand Marnier, agave nectar, fresh grapefruit juice, lime juice, and orange juice with fruit wedges.
Well, it's so big, it has to be served in a bowl. Nice. Too sweet though, and the tequila is not really ,"Gusto", seems harsh. It is overpowered by grapefruit juice and the agave nectar. Overall a 5/10. Would have been a 4, but like I always say,"Put more than enough tequila in it, and you get an extra point."

Grand Gold Margarita, José Cuervo Gold Tequila, with Grand Marnier. Simple, yet effective. Good sweet sour mix and good mix of the orange liqueur. Definitely better than I thought it would be. 8/10 and at a good price of $7.50.

Longhorn Steakhouse

Patron Platinum margarita, with Patron Silver Tequila, orange liqueur, organic agave nectar. Watered down, not enough orange liqueur, lime mix is either bad or limes are bad. Not enough tequila to qualify as a real margarita. I have had worse, but not much. 2/10

Barcena's

House Margarita. Same subpar tequila as with Mexican Martini from previous post. Same bad sweet sours mix, this time too much sugar. Way too sweet and not enough lime juice. Don't even get a hint of orange liqueur from it. Bad Deal. Still not the worst. 2/10

Barcena's

Mexican Martini, tequila is subpar,  sweet sour mix too tangy with a stale taste. Not enough simple syrup and no olive taste or olives for that matter. 2/10.

Serrano's

House Margarita, Morales 100% Agave Tequila, Hiram Walker Orange Liqueur, lime and lemon. Agave nectar is too much. Too sweet, even though orange liqueur is light. Lemon seems like too much as well. Tequila tastes good. Average 5/10

Tequila Bar and Grill

House Margarita is the worst one yet. The mix is off and tequila and orange liqueur is extremely lacking. 1/10 this time around.

Svante's

Mexican Martini. Herradura Silver, Cointreau, Fresh Lime Juice, Olive Brine, Agave Nectar, garnished with olives. Definitely plenty of alcohol. Needs more Lime Juice and less Olive juice. Also too short on Cointreau. 3/10. Too much alcohol always gets an extra point. Would have been a 2 otherwise. Place just opened. Will try again in a few months just to be sure.

SaltGrass Steakhouse

Updated version of Especial Margarita, with Camarena Silver Tequila, Patron Citrónge Liqueur, Tres Agave Nectar & fresh Lime Juice. Wow. Great tequila taste, orange taste and lime sweet and sour taste is not overpowering. Agave nectar, gives it just enough sweetness. I do believe I found a 10 this time. Last time was a 9 with Hornitos tequila. Yay!!!

T.G.I. Friday's

The BFM, Patròn Silver Tequila, Grand Marnier,organic agave, fresh lime juice, lemon juice. Actually just the right amount of extra sweetness from Grand Marnier and Agave juice. Patròn Silver Tequila is always a good base. Only problem is glass is too small. Would have been a 7 without the Patron. 8/10
