Margaritas and Mexican food go together like peanut butter and jelly, and one Texas restaurant takes the classic combination to a whole new level. Cafe Olé, located on the San Antonio River Walk, offers 60-ounce margaritas that serve a crowd, and they're absolutely delicious - in the most outrageous, over-the-top way, of course.
Situated directly on the iconic San Antonio River Walk, Cafe Olé embodies the vivacious spirit and rich Hispanic culture the city is known for.
You'll find the restaurant nestled between the Hilton Palacio del Rio Hotel and the Hyatt Regency Hotel, just minutes away from destination attractions such as La Villita and The Alamo.
Multi-level seating allows guests to choose between waterfront and indoor dining, with tables available on the patio, open-air upper deck, and in the restaurant itself.
If the weather is nice, we highly recommend sitting outside. You'll enjoy unparalleled views of the River Walk, marveling at the sight of boats gliding across the water as you revel in the lively, upbeat ambiance.
As far as the food goes, the menu is relatively simple, which means every dish gets the time and attention it deserves.
You'll see a wide variety of Tex-Mex favorites, including several different kinds of enchiladas, fajitas, tacos, and combination plates.
If we had to make a suggestion, it would probably be the fajitas.
Available in chicken, beef, shrimp, or vegetables, they're served on a sizzling platter with pico de gallo, guacamole, Spanish rice, charro beans, and homemade flour tortillas. Just one bite is all it takes to start a fiesta in your mouth.
Mexican food and margaritas are a quintessential combination, and Cafe Olé is home to the biggest margs on the River Walk.
A whopping 60 ounces, these over-the-top boozy beverages easily serve 4-5 people.
Almost too pretty to drink, the margaritas are adorned with colorful fresh fruits and a salt and chili lime seasoning rim.
They come in several flavors, so whether you prefer a simple house blend or a more unique concoction, there's a perfect sip for everyone.
In total, the restaurant boasts 30 different kinds of tequila, so you never know what the bartenders will come up with.
For maximum enjoyment, pair your margarita with some homemade tortilla chips and bubbling hot queso - a pairing that can do no wrong.
