VIVO

"This Tex-Mex restaurant in the Linc really loves margaritas, so the drinks are beautifully dressed up with flowers and made with a variety of tequilas, ices, and fruit puree mix-ins. It has a great pergola covered patio to sip that drink on, whether you take it on the rocks or frozen, and takeout orders can be placed online. If you want a drink to pair with a plate of Tex-Mex, hit the no-frills dining room and go wild." - Kayleigh Hughes

"Despite being in a strip mall next to an Office Depot and an indie film theater, Vivo is a remarkably cozy spot with an interior that will instantly transport you to an old house in Hyde Park. And if that doesn’t take you there, the margaritas certainly will. You’ll find most of the classic Tex-Mex staples here, but you’ll also find a few house specialties that are a little less common in Austin, like some very good puffy tacos, pambazos, and sopapillas.

"The Linc Tex-Mex restaurant is steeped in San Antonio traditions, which means puffy tacos alongside enchiladas and fajita tacos, plus there are plenty of tequila and mezcal options. Takeout and delivery orders can be placed online; there are indoor and outdoor dine-in services." - Kelly Stocker, Nadia Chaudhury

"Quality-wise, Vivo’s margaritas bat above their price. They even come dressed with an orchid that makes the whole experience feel more premium than the strip mall location would suggest. And during Happy Hour, margaritas get knocked down to $5, making them one of the best value drinks on this list.  " - nicolai mccrary

"While the Linc Tex-Mex restaurant is known for its very pretty margaritas, the extensive bar menu includes two Mexican martini options, one house and the other with Don Julio Reposado tequila. Takeout orders can be placed online; there are indoor and outdoor dine-in areas." - Darcie Duttweiler
