Chow down on local bites along Margarita Mile.

Fun fact: Frozen margaritas were invented in Dallas! Restaurateur Mariano Martinez created the first frozen margarita machine in 1973 after being inspired by the 7-Eleven slushie. What sounds more refreshing than a margarita tour on a sunny holiday weekend? Just keep in mind that the Dallas Margarita Mile isn’t actually one mile of restaurants, but a collection of over 20 local spots across Dallas. So, having easy transportation is a must. You can hop around Margarita Mile hotspots with a private charter bus rental and built-in DD! If you’re looking to stop at just a few locations, Beto & Son, Meso Maya, and El Fenix are among the most popular stops! You can find the full list of restaurants included in the Margarita Mile on the VisitDallas website.

Charter bus travel tip: Finding oversized vehicle parking around each restaurant may be limited. Your driver may need to drop your group off at each restaurant before finding street parking on nearby roads.
