Carlos O’Kelly’s
Some folks like the legendarily large Jumbo Margarita at Carlos O'Kelly's Mexican Café, while others swear by their hand shaken top shelf margaritas. Head to one of their three locations in the Wichita area (South, West, North Rock) of this family-owned and Wichita-headquartered restaurant to decide for yourself.
Deano’s Grill & Tapworks
The Perfect Margarita at Deano’s Grill & Tapworks is the perfect combination of Patrón Tequila, Cointreau and Grand Marnier with fresh squeezed lime juice. They serve it in a salt-rimmed martini glass with olives and lime.
District Taqueria
The house margarita at District Taqueria is classic but they also offer up creative flavors like a mango-orange margarita or a grapefruit margarita. Whatever you decide, don’t forget to order chips and queso at this Old Town favorite.
Molino’s Mexican Cuisine
The drink menu at Molino's Mexican Cuisine near downtown Wichita is just as inventive as their unique fusion of Mexican and Latin American cuisines. Their twist on the margarita is serving it with a lemon pepper rim.
Playa Azul
Peach, strawberry, mango and lime frozen margaritas are the specialty at Playa Azul in Wichita’s Old Town district.
Redrock Canyon Grill
Servers at Redrock Canyon Grill bring your Perfect Margarita in an ice cold shaker, pouring it into a frosted martini glass. There will be a second pour left of this tasty mix of Jose Cuervo Tradicional Reposado, Patrón Citrónge and Grand Marnier.
Remember to drink responsibly and keep track of your favorite Wichita margaritas … Cinco de Mayo is only a few months away!
