Iconic avocado margaritas & colorful murals at this Tex-Mex spot
"The avocado frozen margarita at the Travis Heights Mexican restaurant is the perfect combination of refreshing, boozy, cold, and creamy; everything a person could want in this drink. The vibes inside are playful; it is all paper flags, bright colors, and joyful murals. Visit Curra’s Hyde Park location for a change in scenery. Both locations also offer the option to place takeout orders online." - Kayleigh Hughes
"Order the avocado margarita with the Tex-Mex restaurant’s tamales from its Travis Heights location or the Hyde Park One. Or preorder a dozen for home. Fillings range from pork to beans to chicken mole to black bean. Takeout orders can be placed online; there are indoor and outdoor dine-in services." - Nadia Chaudhury
"The Travis Heights Mexican restaurant is upfront with what makes its Kelly’s queso so good: Land O’ Lakes’ extra-melt American cheese. There are also other quesos, ranging from chile con queso to the queso flameado. There’s a second location up in Hyde Park. Takeout orders can be placed online; there are indoor and outdoor dine-in services." - Nadia Chaudhury
"Curra’s biggest claim to fame is their invention of the avocado margarita—it’s frozen and creamy, but it toes the line between cocktail and smoothie delicately enough to make us feel like we’re drinking something at least a little bit healthy. It’s too unconventional to make this an everyday margarita, but it’s one you should go out of your way at least once or twice to try. Get some cochinita pibil while you’re there—it’s some of the best in town. " - nicolai mccrary
"Curra’s biggest claim to fame is their invention of the avocado margarita—a cocktail that somehow makes us feel like what we’re drinking is at least a little bit healthy—but there’s also a pretty large menu of more classic drinks that contain surprisingly few avocados. You’ll find a few Tex-Mex leaning dishes on the menu here, but it’s the more classic Mexican flavors we’re coming back for, including trompo-cooked al pastor enchiladas, cochinita pibil, or steak tacos dusted in Oaxacan coffee grounds.
