Hussong's Cantina in Ensenada, Mexico claims to have invented the margarita in 1941 through bartender Don Corliss Orozco. The original location opened in 1892, and a Las Vegas outpost at Mandalay Bay serves ten margarita styles, with the original being notably strong.
Did you know that the margarita was invented by a restaurant in Las Vegas? Well, kind of. It all started in 1892 in Ensenada, Mexico, where Johann Hussong opened the original Hussong's Cantina. Then the real magic happened in 1941 when bartender Don Corliss Orozco invented the world's first tequila cocktail, the margarita, right there in Hussong's. Now you can choose from 10 different styles of margarita at their Las Vegas Strip location, which opened in 2010 in Mandalay Bay. Hussong's offers a fresh take on Baja-style Mexican cuisine, from street tacos to enchiladas Everything is packed with bold flavors, but don't forget the star of the show, their unusually strong original margarita. Fusang's is open daily with casual dress and private dining options for larger groups. I love finding unique spots in Vegas to share with the guests I host at my properties. Please shoot me a message if you know of anyone planning a trip here.
