The Texas Roadhouse Margarita Experience
Just last weekend (March 2025), I visited my local Texas Roadhouse in Austin and decided to branch out from my usual. I went for the Jamaican Cowboy Margarita: a fruity, tropical mix of tequila, coconut rum, peach schnapps, pineapple, and orange juice. One sip, and I was SOLD. It had the perfect blend of sweet and tangy, with just enough tequila to remind me why I love their drinks.
But let’s be honest every Texas Roadhouse margarita is worth trying at least once. Here’s my breakdown of what’s on the menu.

Insider Margarita Customization Hacks
Want to take your margarita experience to the next level? Here are a few bartender-approved tips:
- Less Ice = Stronger Margarita: Ask for “light ice” if you want a more potent drink.
- Half-and-Half: Can’t decide between frozen and on-the-rocks? Ask for a mix of both.
- Extra Tequila Shot: For a stronger kick, add an extra shot of tequila for about $2.
- Tajin Rim Swap: Instead of a salt rim, ask for Tajin for a spicy, tangy twist.
Texas Roadhouse Margarita vs. Other Chains
I’ve had my fair share of margaritas at places like Chili’s, Applebee’s, and even some local Tex-Mex spots, and I have to say Texas Roadhouse margaritas hold their own. Here’s how they compare:
- Texas Roadhouse vs. Chili’s: Chili’s offers more variety (thanks to their Margarita of the Month), but Texas Roadhouse has a stronger tequila flavor.
- Texas Roadhouse vs. Applebee’s: Applebee’s $1 margaritas are cheap, but you get what you pay for (aka, mostly mixer). Texas Roadhouse uses better ingredients and gives a much smoother sip.
- Texas Roadhouse vs. Local Tex-Mex Bars: Your favorite local bar might serve fancier margaritas, but Texas Roadhouse wins in price-to-quality ratio every time.
