A Margarita Neighborhood

Since it opened in Centennial (and other metro locations), My Neighbor Felix has made many friends with its scratch-made cuisine from across Mexico and a cocktail program that focuses on using fresh ingredients. A large, curated collection of tequilas and mezcals is showcased in a lineup of made-to-order margaritas including Felix’s Secret Key Margarita.

That best-selling drink starts with double barrel reposado tequila (aged in oak and toasted oak) and finishes with habanero crystals. “The crystals on the rim provide a bite each time you sip it,” says Maria Merlin, marketing manager of My Neighbor Felix. At home you can substitute for the crystals by rubbing the rim of the glass with a cut habanero before dipping in salt, she says.

Where Margaritas Take Flight

Dos Santos Tacos naturally draws a crowd for its diverse taco offerings filled with everything from Korean beef barbacoa and 12-hour Yucatan-style pork to beer-battered Gulf shrimp with habanero aioli and braised chicken thigh tinga.

The equally large margarita menu includes favorites like the green chile margarita made with Arette tequila, fresh lime juice, agave syrup and Ancho Reyes poblano liqueur. Our favorite sipping and sampling choice is the Dos Marg Flight which offers diners a trio of beverages chosen from the house list which includes spicy passion fruit and hibiscus margaritas.
