Margaritas

Hands down the best margaritas and best traditional Mexican food in Hell's Kitchen.

I love it because guava is my favorite fruit and it brings a little sweetness to a tart drink. The bartenders are consistent with the recipe as it always tastes exactly the same. At $6 during happy hour, the price is great as well.

Creative flavors, a wide range of sizes, in a fun atmosphere with fabulous employees working there. A true neighborhood mainstay!

The variety! The sizing! The friendly staff! The ambiance! All of it!

Hands down the best, frozen or on the rocks, tons of flavors and a great happy hour special!

A long-standing neighborhood staple allows for the accumulation of many happy memories over the years. And I have a decade-plus of memories of tipping back a mama sized marg at Arriba Arriba. It’s just quintessential Hells Kitchen.

The la mama margarita is the perfect size!

Arriba Arriba takes top prize for me! I love that they cater to your thirst... whether you just want to sample a 4 oz 'Bebe', or the day requires a more substantial 27 oz 'Mama!

Best flavors, best sizes, and they are ALWAYS what takes your night to the next level.

Frozen here is the way to go! Lots of tasty flavors to choose from and try. Their frose is actually killer, so don’t have more than two.

Because El Centro closed - this is the next best thing!

The margaritas at 'ritas are delicious and fun! Regular with salt is my go-to, however try the spicy cucumber with Tajin! I mean, c'mon! To make it even better, they also have some of the best most tasty nachos in NYC. Hands down, 'ritas rocks!

It's a decent size for the price and the sweet, to sour, to tequila ratio is fantastic.

The spicy margarita is great. No mixes - made with good tequila and fresh lime.

Irma, the owner, and the rest of the staff are wonderful. The food and drinks are consistently excellent. The spicy margarita is my favorite, hitting the right balance of spicy and sweet.

The mango margarita is top notch!

There is truly no competition. Tulcingo uses the freshest and best ingredients.

Not only are the margaritas incredible, but so is the food and the company. The owner, Irma, makes everyone feel welcomed and at home. It’s my favorite spot in Hell’s Kitchen. Full stop.

By far the best margarita, regular or spicy, they never disappoint. And the hospitality is top notch.

Their pomegranate margarita has an amazing flavor that’s the perfect blend of sweet, juicy and just the perfect touch of tartness. It’s a must try from there! Pair with a shrimp guacamole and chips. I travel from NJ just for this!

Been to Tulcingo for Happy Hour and on a regular night. The flavors are amazing, the ingredients are top quality and their drinks are always consistent.

They make a delicious jalapeño margarita with just the right amount of kick. Tulcingo is definitely a hidden gem of the neighborhood.

Their margaritas are consistent an sooo good

Love their coconut and passion fruit margaritas. It’s my go-to spot for margaritas with friends.

Love their pineapple margarita

They use a good tequila (or mezcal) for the margarita and also they use real fruit for the flavored ones.

With a focus on craftsmanship, their margaritas are the perfect complement to their authentic Mexican menu. A great place to hang out in the warmer-weather months.

Beata is one of the best mixologists ever, her Pompeii Sunset Margarita is other-worldly!

Jaz’s spicy mango margarita is the best!

Pina Para La Nina is my favorite margarita in Hell's Kitchen (heck, the City) and I've tried a lot of them. :)) Delicious. Love the outside seating, too. Perfect for spring or summer.

Tacuba has a great selection of various flavors using fresh juices/purees such as the Sandia de Margarita (watermelon - my favorite)! There are no premixes used here! All fresh ingredients! Super friendly and attentive bartenders and servers, great music, and plenty of open space.

Strong, never overly sweet.

I've been to many other of the restaurants on the list, but I keep going back to Tacuba — the frozen raspados: my favorites are the tamarind and strawberry. But there are so many different types made with muddled fruit and veggies. Divine!

Basic margarita has a wonderful sweetness to it.

Great happy hour and flavors! Tastiest!

Añejo’s Mezcal Margarita is top-notch and one of the best mezcal-infused margaritas I’ve had. It’s rare that you see this combination in NYC and I appreciate how smooth and simplistic the drink is!

Their Mezcal Margarita got me through the pandemic. I encountered their little margarita window on my first excursion out of my apartment in months. That little boozy oasis saved me. I drank my first to go bag of sauce on my fire escape. The rest of spring and summer, I would pick up 32 ounce containers with some bacon guac and then hang out along the river.

Añejo’s jalapeño margarita - perfect for sipping, and just spicy enough to keep me from gulping it down fast and getting a hangover later.

Best margaritas

Fun monthly specials, great service, all around fantastic vibes!

Always Fresh ingredients. Plus the speciality flavors like hibiscus and coconut are as delicious as the classic.

Kat makes the best Margarita! The food is really good! Great neighborhood hang!

They have a good selection and pairs well with their brunch specials and dinner menu.

El Patron — because they serve it in a unique and fun way! And it has a great flavor.

They have the best margaritas because they are made with love, THE LOVE OF THE DRINK! Haha really though, they have many to choose from with flavors. They make me feel warmed and welcome.

It’s always happy hour and the drinks don’t hit you until afterwards. Which are the best.

The margs are delicious but the views of the city are the beautiful draw!
