Chef notes
Who doesn't love a margarita? This classic mix of sweet and sour hits all the right notes. Forget the frozen mush from a revolving mixer, a real margarita is made fresh in a shaker. At Diego, we like to keep it classic with just the traditional ingredients served over ice with a salty rim.
