Description

Like many business that found success in Austin, this Austin standby now has branch in Dallas. Here, you'll find the same slick, modern trappings down to the neon glow and clean decorative lines. Iron Cactus offers gussied-up Tex-Mex (lobster tacos, anyone?), which can be paired with more than 75 tequilas. Perhaps you'd like tequila in your food? Then order the Yucatan fish tacos with tequila-marinated whitefish. Or just go for one of the margaritas on a rooftop patio.

  • 2009 | Best Roof Top Margaritas

    This rooftop patio is hands-down among the best in town. You can sit at the bar under the stars or grab a table at which to enjoy shots of tequila or margaritas accompanied by fajitas, nachos or fish tacos. The tequila selection is vast, from Cuervo on the bottom end to El Tesoro Paradiso and Don Julio in the mid-range and Patron Gran Platinum and Herradura Seleccion Suprema on the top shelf. There are dozens of cocktails to choose from, from the ginger martini to the cactus cosmo and a... More »

  • 2007 | Best Patio

    This downtown rooftop is a must for anyone who enjoys fresh air and quality tequila. As the business day winds down in the summertime, the bar fills and the Herradura starts to flow in time with the large fountain near the stairwell. The place has more than 80 types of Mexican tequila. To sample it, order the tequila flight, three half-ounce glasses of silver, reposado and anejo. The names are as rich as the tastes: Cabo Wabo, El Conquistador, Corazon, Don Julio. And if you're not up for the... More »

  • 2004 | Best Margarita

    This is really no contest. How do we know? Because our wife is the margarita-drinkin'-est fool alive. You think you're a 'rita fool? You couldn't out-fool her on the foolingest day of your life if you had yourself an electrified fooling machine. We're talkin' 'bout a fool. And when she first stepped her fool foot in Iron Cactus, she ordered herself a house margarita and quickly proclaimed it the best she'd had that year. Potent but not overly tequila-ed, tart with a hint of sweetness, this... More »
