Are you looking for a unique spot in Downtown Austin that’s more than just a vodka and sprite type of joint? Well, get ready to get your drink on because we’ve found the most fun margaritas. Chupacabra Cantina is in a prime location on 6th street, but even better is the fact that you can get boozy margs and Tex-Mex on a night out on the town. Can we just say how hard it is to find a legit Tex-Mex restaurant in this area?
This isn’t just an ordinary cantina. Chupacabra sells a marg that is almost too big to see the person across the table. You’re going to need some strong muscles to even pick it up. They’re massive, delicious, and sharable–just look at it!
For all you 21+ folks, let us introduce you to the biggest margarita you’ve ever seen, the Chupacabra beer-rita!
This frozen, fruity marg is served with three Coronas and a set of straws. We aren’t telling you that you should share it, but it’s obvious that it might be a good idea. Our bet is it would take you at least half of a day to finish it alone, that is, if you don’t pass out before!
If you do share it though, it’ll be light on your wallet. Just make sure all of your friends don’t have cooties.
If their beer-rita is unavailable, you can opt for their massive marg without the beers. It’s the perfect choice for a cozy date night. Or, you know, perhaps a bachelorette?
Go with your fav people and hit them up at happy hour. They have plenty of other marg options and fun drinks to choose from. Every day from 4PM–7PM, expect $2 Mexican canned beers, $3 Red Sangria, and $5 Margaritas. What a deal!
With great music, vibes, and boozy drinks (you can even request an extra shot!), you’re sure to have a great night at Chupacabra. Even their food is tasty and will definitely help wash down the tequila.
Might we suggest their big ole’ bowl of queso or mountain pile of nachos? It’s clear there’s a trend here that goes well with the motto “Everything’s Bigger in Texas.” Might as well head to Chupacabra with a big appetite!
