Dallas TX is the official home of the Frozen Margarita, thanks to Mariano Martinez's innovation with his friend Frank Adams. What happened? In 1971, Marciano's Hacienda served delicious margaritas, drawing many customers. But they couldn’t keep up with the demand, and their mixes became inconsistent.
That's when Mariano and Frank turned an old soft-serve ice cream machine into the world's first frozen margarita machine. And that's why Dallas has a reputation to uphold. Margaritas here are not just great but fantastic. And what better way to taste the best margaritas in town than journey the Margarita Mile? But what is it exactly?
What Is The Margarita Mile?
It's a self-guided tour to find the best margaritas in Dallas Texas and the most delicious restaurants in the city. So how do you get started? First, you need to sign up at MargaritaMileDallas. Then you'll get an email and text giving you access to the site where you can see the participating restaurants and track your progress.
And since everything is bigger in Texas, that includes the Margarita Mile. Some restos can be as close as five miles from downtown, but there are other stops as far as the DFW International Airport. If the proximities are that far, why bother joining the Margarita Mile?
