Margarita Thursdays
Every Thursday | All Day

Died and gone to Mexico? Hard to believe but enjoy our deliciously refreshing frozen margaritas for $2 all day long every Thursday.

There are many versions of the inception of the margarita. Here are just a few:
  • In the early 1930's, it was created at the Caliente Race Track in Tijuana.
  • In 1936, Danny Negrete invented this drink for his girlfriend, Margarita, while working at the Garci Crespo Hotel.
  • In 1938 or 1939, Carlos Hererra invented this drink for Marjorie King, who apparently couldn't drink any hard liquor except Tequila without getting sick. (Some stories will call him "Danny Hererra", apparently confusing him with Danny Negrete).
  • On the 4th of July, in 1942, a customer asked Francisco "Pancho" Morales for a "Magnolia", but he couldn't remember exactly how to make it, so he made something up, and named it the "Daisy" instead (which in Spanish translates to Margarita).
  • Sometime in the 1940's, Enrique Bastante Gutierez created this drink for Rita Hayworth, who's real name was Margarita.
  • In 1948 it was created in Galveston, Texas by Santos Cruz. Who mixed it up for singer Peggy Lee.
  • In the early 1950's It was created at the "Tail o' the Cock" restaurant in Los Angeles in order to find a way to introduce Jose Cuervo tequila into the market.
