Luxury chain restaurants ranked from worst to best
The ratio of ingredients has to be just right and quality and presentation matter too. Any changes to the recipe 一 such as adding sweeteners juice or serving it blended instead of on the rocks 一 should also do their part. While some restaurants can make margaritas that will keep you coming back for more others don’t always get it right. To help you find your ideal margarita (and hopefully avoid the failures) we’ve compiled a list of the best and worst margaritas served at restaurant chains nationwide ranked by customer reviews. You can read more about our methodological process at the end of the article.
While you might think that ordering a margarita is a safe bet at any restaurant Taco Cabana proves that’s not always the case. Taco Cabana a Texas-based chain with more than 140 locations serves Mexican-inspired dishes in a casual setting. Customer reviews on Yelp paint a bleak picture of the chain’s alcoholic offerings. One customer wrote “First of all the margarita tasted like something you would use to clean a bathroom.” That certainly doesn’t paint the drink in a positive light.
"Honestly I wasn't impressed at all. After about 4-5 sips it was salty and tasted weird" wrote another customer who ordered the mango margarita. Taco Cabana's menu also includes lime mangonada strawberry and watermelon margaritas. In the past the chain has experimented with bolder options like pistachio though that flavor didn't fare well in customer reviews. To make matters worse one customer described his margarita as the worst he'd ever tasted though he didn't specify which flavor he ordered. Unfortunately it seems Taco Cabana's margaritas are best avoided.
