Mariano’s Margaritas + Cinco de Mayo

A North Texas legend in Tex-Mex dining, Mariano’s Hacienda is making festive waves this year by opening on a day it’s usually closed. On Monday, May 5, 2025, Mariano’s Hacienda and its sister restaurant La Hacienda Ranch will open from 3 PM to 9 PM for a one-day-only Cinco de Mayo celebration featuring exclusive specials.

Few drinks are more iconic than the margarita, and few places are more fitting to enjoy one than at Mariano’s — where the world’s first frozen margarita machine was invented in 1971 by founder Mariano Martinez. Today, that machine resides in the Smithsonian, but the original recipe is still served daily at the restaurant that started it all.

The Margarita – A Texas Tradition

A margarita on the rocks is the most traditional way to make a margarita cocktail, one that every Texan should master. Making a homemade margarita on the rocks is simple. Basic recipes combine tequila, triple sec, and fresh lime juice to create a tangy, earthy, and slightly sweet drink. Instead of triple sec, some recipes balance out the drink’s tartness with simple syrup (equal parts sugar and water simmered until thick and syrupy) or agave syrup, a natural match for agave-based tequila.
