Texas is America’s “Margarita mecca,” said Robb Walsh in Saveur. It was a Texan restaurant owner, Mariano Martinez, who in 1971 “figured out how to make frozen Margaritas in a soft-serve ice cream machine.” That machine now resides in the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C. Today these are some of the best places in the state to enjoy this “elemental libation of tequila, fruit liqueur, and fruit juice.”
