A Brief History of The Perfect Pairing: Tacos and Margaritas

Tacos, the delightful gift from Mexico, have been satisfying taste buds for centuries. Believe it or not, tacos originated from the humblest of beginnings as a miner's meal. Fast forward to today, they're a global sensation, available in a dizzying array of styles, flavors, and fillings.

The Magic of Margaritas

The birth of the Margarita is as mysterious as its origin story, with multiple legends claiming its invention. This zesty concoction, made from tequila, lime juice, and triple sec, has graced our palates since the early 20th century. 

Today, it's the ultimate drink to accompany your favorite taco.
