Tacos and Tequila: The Ultimate Guide to Pairing Drinks With Tex Mex Food

Meghan Coons • April 7, 2023
Classic Tex Mex Food

Tex Mex food is the ultimate comfort food. With warm flavors and delicious toppings, there’s nothing better than eating great tacos or quesadillas. Imagine after a long day you search the internet for “tacos near me,” pick up some great Tex Mex to go, come home, and start your evening off right. The only way to make that better would be to pair your favorite Tex Mex meal with the perfect drink. 


You may be wondering exactly what drink you should pair with your favorite fajitas or tacos. No need to worry! As one of the best taco restaurants in Marietta, we have a few ideas of what to recommend. From something classic like enchiladas with beer to something more adventurous like fish tacos and Palomas, whatever your Tex Mex food taste, we’ve thought of the perfect drink pairing for you.


Classic Tex Mex Food and Drink Pairings

Aside from its mouth-watering flavors, the great thing about Tex Mex food is that there are many different options when it comes to pairing it with drinks. Whether you like a classic, refreshing beer or something stronger like tequila, there is an equally delicious Tex Mex food choice to go with it. 


Tacos and Tequila

As one of the most classic Tex Mex food and drink combinations, there’s a reason you hear about pairing tacos with tequila. Whether your taco order is Twisted Taco Express’ Pulled Pork taco that’s smothered in our Zesty BBQ sauce and southwestern slaw or our Boom Boom Shrimp made with the crispiest fried shrimp, Boom Boom sauce, and topped with lettuce and tomato, pairing your Tex Mex food with tequila is always a tasty choice.


Fajitas and Sangria

If you’re looking to pair your Tex Mex to go with a drink that is full of flavors, try pairing a sangria with something like Twisted Taco Express’ Fajita Salad. The fresh flavors of the grilled vegetables, cheese, pico de gallo, guacamole, and sour cream combine perfectly with the fruity taste of the sangria, giving you a refreshing and delicious meal.

Enchiladas and Beer

One of the most classic drinks to have with Tex Mex food is a cold beer, and one of the best Tex Mex dishes to pair with your favorite beer is an enchilada. Enchiladas are full of savory flavors thanks to their ingredients like cheese, beans, and vegetables, and these savory notes are complimented wonderfully by the refreshing taste of a light beer.


Creative Tex Mex Food and Drink Pairings

If you’re looking for something a little different to spice up your Tex Mex to go, there are some unique and creative Tex Mex food and drink pairings you can try to take your taste buds on an adventure.


Fish Tacos and Palomas

One of our favorite food and drink pairings is our Down Home taco with a delicious Paloma. Our Down Home seafood taco is made with fried shrimp and topped with lettuce and salsa. It also gives a bit of a kick thanks to our spicy remoulade. These fresh, spicy flavors combine perfectly with the citrus of a Paloma.


Enchiladas and Mezcal Cocktails

Mezcal-based cocktails are a great drink to pair with your favorite enchilada. Mezcal-based cocktails taste smoky and have earthy and herbaceous notes that flawlessly compliment the rich, spicy flavors of enchiladas, creating a bold and flavorful combination.


Whether you’re looking to pair your Twisted Taco Boom Boom Shrimp taco with tequila or try our Down Home taco with a refreshing Paloma, there’s no end to the drink and Tex Mex food combinations you can try.
