Where are the Best Margarita in Orlando, Florida?
Went to this restaurant based on a 9.9 over all rating… I was expecting to be blown away, but was sadly disappointed. Now, I WOULD rate this above average, most of the food was good. I did LOVE the margarita, and the tamale and chili relleno. But have had MUCH better elsewhere. The place was packed, and the wait staff was friendly, but slower than I desire.Pros + Inexpensive, Good ParkingCons – Not as good as rating
The SceneA string of colored lights lining the beach deck illuminates the way, but it’s the music that turns all of Margaritaville’s patrons into Parrot Heads. Inside, a sail-shaped screen hoisted among the fishing reels and beach highway signs showcases the best of Buffett’s videos. The live Caribbean-flavored band will make you want to kick off your shoes and feel the sand between your toes.The FoodThe menu is glutted with delectable seafood specialties. Notable starters include conch fritters served with Cajun remoulade and the restaurant’s signature crab, shrimp and mushroom dip. Seafood entrees range from crab cakes to shrimp pasta. Beef lovers will enjoy the sirloin steak served with mashed potatoes. If you have the kids in tow, order the cheeseburger or PB&J. The only suitable dessert to end a meal here is the Key lime pie.
The SceneInspired by pub crawling during his days at UF and UCF, Brian Wheeler borrowed $20,000 from his father to create a college-town eatery for the Orlando area. This first outlet on University spawned the growing chain that features small tables inside and out on the sidewalk, flaming phantasmagoric images on the walls and runners who deliver orders by calling out first names.The FoodIt’s fast Tex-Mex without lard or heat lamps. Burritos come in regular and hearty Tijuana size. Choose the stuffing: mildly spiced ground beef, chicken, bean, or a mix, wrapped with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, jalapenos and sour cream. For a lighter meal, try chicken quesadillas, blackened for the most flavor. Skip mediocre chili. Tijuana Flats innovations include blue tortilla cups for sides of salsa and a hot-sauce bar dispensers with concoctions like Chickens**t, a fire and mustard combo, and Thai sweet chili. Heed the labels.
