5 Delicious Spots For Iced-Cold Margaritas In Las Vegas

Drinking a refreshing, fruity and iced-cold margarita in Las Vegas is a form of therapy.

From gulping down happy hour pitchers, indulging on special mezcals and going on a mixology adventure, there are tons of awe-inspiring places to get a good margarita at.

This list will start from the most expensive spots to the least. From specialty tequila bars located Downtown to locally loved restaurants, this list will satisfy any craving for margaritas in Las Vegas.

Toca Madera is a swanky Mexican restaurant that has a "strong focus on pairing its bold flavors with the highest quality, sustainable and organic ingredients." It's fancy and expensive. But, the food is tasty and the drinks are delicious.

Along with the beautiful food and small plates, the margarita menu is expansive and innovative. This is a great place to enjoy a margarita in Las Vegas.

Some of the margarita variations include a Oaxacan margarita; which is mezcal, lime, agave, tajín, a guava margarita; which is flecha azul blanco, cointreau, guava, thyme, lime, a passion fruit margarita; which is reposado tequila, passion fruit, lime, agave, and the noble margarita; which is blanco tequila, house spice blend, jalapeño, cilantro, salers gentiane, lime, agave.

The cocktail menu doesn't stop there. Toca Madera is known for having beautiful cocktails that have an equally jaw-dropping presentation that often uses fire, dry ice and florals.

Pushing the boundaries of flavor and tradition, Ghost Donkey is another eclectic spot inside of the Cosmopolitan that will take your Cinco De Mayo experience to another level. It's a hidden bar that will take a little navigating to find. To locate this bar, you'll need to go toward the Block 16 Urban Food Hall. Once you enter the food hall, go toward the inside of the food hall and try to locate the green exit sign.

Once you spot this sign, you should see a single inconspicuous door with a donkey on it. Once you see this door then you've arrived at this hidden bar! Push open the door, and a neon playground of mezcals and other tequilas should welcome you.

The bar is stocked with a unique selection of mezcals from different regions of Mexico. They have light tapas like truffle nachos, queso fundido, mole chicken nachos and a few other small plate options.

The highlight of this bar is the innovative cocktails, which include margaritas.

You can get a flight of margaritas (or even try their other cocktails). Ghost Donkey has a frozen margarita, a watermelon basil margarita and a wide variety of other tequilas that can be used to make other margarita pairings.

The Smoked Corn & Coconut Manhattan is a divine concoction of sierra norte purple corn oaxacan whiskey, veras joven mezcal, clement mahina coconut, punt e mes vermouth, and mole bitters 18.

Nestled in the heart of the Arts District, Mezcla is a wonderful spot to indulge in gorgeous mezcal margaritas in Las Vegas and some fresh ceviche.

The mezcal selection is expansive, and the small bar has innovative cocktails. One time, I had a strawberry and cream margarita. I'm not too sure if they still have it. But if they do, you NEED to try it. The "affogato" is coffee-infused tequila (made in house) that gets poured over rich vanilla ice cream.

You can get a classic margarita. But, why not try an exquisite margarita such as the prickly pear margarita or the guayaba picante made from mezcal.

The fresh ceviche is mouth watering to say the least. The fish is always fresh and perfectly salted and acidic -- just how ceviche should be.

The shrimp and pineapple ceviche is a great option. But, Mexcla has other types of ceviche, and the bar even has poke nachos, shrimp cocktails and in-season oysters.

Check out this hidden gem located at   197 E California Ave Unit 110, Las Vegas, NV 89104.

This is a true Las Vegas spot. If you love mariscos (Mexican seafood) and good classic margaritas then this is your spot. This will possibly be the best and busiest place to be during Cinco de Mayo.

The place is always busy and bustling with music, voices and clattering of plates. You can't help but feel warm and happy when you're enjoying an iced-cold margarita while scarfing down shrimp cocktails or some meat from a molcajete.

If you're coming here for Cinco de Mayo in Las Vegas then be prepared for a long wait time if you haven't booked reservations. But, La Mojarra is another great spot for margaritas in Las Vegas. So, we definitely recommend checking this place out.

Located at 2797 S Maryland Pkwy, Las Vegas, NV 89109, this is a fun hangout spot with the family. The food is delicious and there are dishes for any type of seafood, meat or veggie lover.  

They have a plethora of classic margaritas and frozen margaritas that range in flavors. But, they also have specialty cocktails like a horchata margarita, a cucumber margarita, a wild berry margarita and so much more.

Now you may be thinking, "wait Fremont Street?" Well, Fremont Street has some of the cheapest drinks in Vegas and will still provide you with a fun party atmosphere that will be the perfect place to get margaritas in Las Vegas. The secret is to go inside to one of the casinos like 4 Queens, Binion's, Golden Gate Hotel & Casino, The California Hotel & Casino, etc.

But on top of the overall affordability of bars on Fremont, the iconic street will be hosting a "Drinko de Mayo" event that's free!

The festival will have live music that ranges from mariachi, merengue, salsa, banda and more! The festival is on May 5 and it starts at noon. Take a quick trip downtown and enjoy the festivities of the iconic Fremont Street.

You can also check out Nacho Daddy, which is right outside the entrance of Fremont Street. This will also be a great option if you're looking for American-Mexican food with some classic margaritas in Las Vegas that are little bit more "buttoned up" in comparison to the other margarita options you may get on Fremont. So be safe and let's have a great time celebrating Cinco de Mayo in Las Vegas!

A Mexican restaurant in Las Vegas is leaving customers in awe with its innovative and tasty menu.

Milpa is the newest hot spot for breakfast, lunch, dinner -- really any time of day. Located in a cozy and quaint building, nestled between a Salvation Army and a Strip Mall. Milpa is located on 4226 South Durango Drive, Suite 101, Las Vegas, NV 89147. A yellow and black sign that reads "Milpa Mexican Cafe" clings above the restaurant's doors.

The inconspicuous outside is the perfect metaphor for the brilliant cuisine the restaurant serves: Simple, healthy and delicious with a punch of flavor, freshness and tradition.

DJ Flores is the owner and chef behind Milpa, according to Eater Vegas. Recently, the James Beard Foundation named Flores as a semifinalist for the "Best Chef" in the Southwest region of the United States, according to the foundation's website. This award encompasses chefs from Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada and Oklahoma.

Winners won't be announced until June 10 at the James Beard Restaurant and Chef Awards Ceremony in Chicago.

Milpa offers customers the opportunity to have fresh tortillas. The menu has an array of tamales that you can order by the dozen.

The breakfast is divine. A stack of Pinole Pancakes is sure to start your day correctly. According to Milpa's Instagram, Pinole is made of our blue corn and cinnamon. It all gets toasted and ground into a cornmeal. The pancakes are topped with a berry compote and drizzled with piloncillo syrup. It's the epitome of traditional food with a modern-day twist.

Other staple menu items include shrimp ceviche, delicious chilaquiles (you can add birria to them, too), tetelas with eggs, huevos rancheros and more.

This Mexican restaurant in Las Vegas also offers healthy bowls that are rich in nutrition and protein, they have taco bowls and traditional tacos. The sides are delicious, and we recommend trying the arbol potatoes, corn equites and guacamole.

The drinks are refreshing and tasty. Our favorites include their guava horchata, iced café de olla, horchata cold brew, mazapan latte and dulce de leche latte. They have agua frescas and alcoholic beverages like palomas.

Perhaps it's the bustling and cozy environment of Milpa that greets any patron with comfort and nostalgia. Or, maybe it's the delicious food the kitchen is constantly whipping up. From walk-ins to take-out orders, the restaurant usually has a steady stream of people going in and out, eager to taste the delectable food from Chef Flores' kitchen.

If you love shrimp cocktail, you will adore Milpa's shrimp ceviche. This dish takes poached shrimp and tosses it with lime juice and baja salsa. Fresh chunks of avocado, tomatoes, onions, cucumber and cilantro are then mixed with the marinated shrimp. It's the perfect dish to cool you off during a hot Vegas day. There are different kinds of ceviche, but Milpa uses shrimp as the main protein for its ceviche.

The tangy salsa perfectly pairs with the soft shrimp, and the buttery nature of the avocado also partners with the crunchiness of the tortilla. Every component of the dish dances with each other in a harmonious partnership, creating a perfect blend of flavors and texture.

The Roasted Bowl from Milpa is the perfect mixture of healthy, flavorful and simple ingredients that come together to create something delicious. This bowl is made with roasted squash, golden beets, kale, onion and avocado. There's also brussels sprouts, shimeji mushrooms served with warm brown rice.

The bowl is served with a side of chipotle lemon dressing that adds a kick of flavor to this beautiful bowl. It's the perfect lunch during work, and it won't leave you feeling heavy or lethargic after eating. If you're looking for a healthy option for lunch and dinner then the Roasted Bowl is your best friend. Hearty, delicious and nutritious. It's truly the perfect meal.

On the left is a Dulce de Leche latte. This is a latte made with milk and a sweetened caramelized milk syrup. It's sweet and creamy from the caramelized milk syrup, which adds that dulce de leche flavor.

Dulce de Leche is a popular caramel sauce that's thick and rich, it's basically a caramel sauce that's used in a plethora of sweets across Latin America and Europe. Next to the latte is a guava fresca. This is an infused guava drink with a water base. It's tangy, slightly acidic and sweet. This would pair perfectly with a shot of tequila. But, it's perfectly refreshing to drink this guava fresca by itself. It's a great drink to go with any of the meals at Milpa.

These Arbol potatoes are the perfect side dish to any of the fresh entrees at Milpa. They're perfectly seasoned, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. They have a perfect satisfying crunch that explodes with flavor. Delicious, comforting and warm, the Arbol potatoes are a must-try item on the menu.

Everyone's arbol salsa recipe is different. But the main star of the salsa is the "chile de árbol" also translated to arbol peppers. These peppers have different layers of flavor that are earthy and nutty. According to Vera Mexicana, an online Mexican goods retailer, "Árbol chilies are widely used for their sharp acidic heat rounded out by natural almost nutty side notes. . . The drying process really enhances the secondary flavors, adding a complexity not often found in spicy chilies."

This beautiful arbol-infused flavor on top of the potatoes create a harmonious dish that just makes you happy.

The guava horchata is another drink you can order at Milpa. Horchata, a Mexican rice and milk drink, is poured into an icy glass. The guava juice is then added on top of the milky horchata.

Horchata usually has a creamy, cinnamon-like flavor that's sweet and milky. It pairs perfectly with the sour guava juice because the combination of sweet and sour work well together. This would be another refreshing drink to enjoy during a scorching-hot summer day.
