"Margaritas flow like water at this River Oaks institution, where every Thursday night is a party. The Texas-sized Armandos house margarita is 17 ounces of pure margarita goodness, made with Jose Cuervo traditional silver tequila. For a fancier sip, consider the River Oaks Rita, which uses Jose Cuervo reserve and a 24-karat gold lime slice as a garnish." - Marcy de Luna
"Don’t let the white tablecloths fool you — this River Oaks restaurant delivers classics like chile con queso, enchiladas, and its signature twice-refried beans. In for a celebration? Visit on Thursday night when the restaurant turns into a party. Spring for the $48 River Oaks ‘Rita — a combination of Casa Dragones tequila, Patron Citronge, fresh lime juice, agave, and dusted with gold flakes. Or, opt for the recently launched Sunday brunch for filling plates of huevos rancheros, avocado tostadas, and chilaquiles." - Kayla Stewart
"With its white tablecloth service and high-dollar tequila-fueled margaritas, Armandos offers a luxe Tex-Mex dining experience in Houston. The restaurant is playfully known by locals for its electric Thursday nights when the restaurant is transformed into one big dance party, but its menu garners just as much praise. Find lobster enchiladas, carne guisada, steak-filled crispy tacos, and churros with chocolate sauce." - Marcy de Luna
"Armandos has long been a go-to for Tex-Mex, margs, and nightlife, and after 45 years, the River Oaks hot spot is bringing the party to brunch. Offered every Sunday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., brunch features include huevos rancheros, an avocado tostada with house-made crispy tostadas, and churro waffles topped with whipped cream, cinnamon, Cajeta Sauce, and a churro. Add a margarita for a wholly satisfying Sunday Funday." - Brittany Britto Garley
"Light up the night with this iconic Tex-Mex restaurant’s Disco Inferno. A mix of rum, mezcal, Las Californias Citrico gin, prickly pear puree, pineapple and lime juices, Canela agave, and a homemade spicy tincture set aflame, this fiery cocktail is a great choice for Armando’s Thursday night dance parties, which run from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. Diners can also enjoy the blazing cocktail alongside sizzling platters of fajitas, quesadillas, enchiladas, tacos al carbon, and more." - Brittany Britto Garley
