Island Party Hut

BROKEN ENGLISH TACO PUB
Try a margarita from Broken English Taco Pub with Gran Centenario Plata Tequila, Combier, lime, and agave. Add on strawberry, raspberry, or mango for a fruity taste. Or consider a smoky flavor with mezcal. For spicy, try a margarita with El Yucateco hot sauce, Tajin seasoning, and serrano. Along with your margarita, celebrate Cinco de Mayo with tacos! Yum.
EMERALD LOOP BAR & GRILL
You might not expect it from an American-Irish bar, but if you're looking for a twist on a classic margarita, Emerald Loop Bar & Grill is the place for you. Made with Altos Silver Tequila, choose from a classic, spicy watermelon, passion fruit, or raspberry margarita.
