Description:
Its popularity has never waned in all these years. It’s also the place where the Margarita was invented—back in October, 1941 by bartender Don Carlos Orozco. He concocted the perfect mixture of equal parts tequila, Damiana (Controy is used now) and lime, served over ice in a salt-rimmed glass for Margarita Henkel, daughter of the German Ambassador to Mexico. Not too many people know that, but it’s the truth.
It’s laid back, friendly, casual and always tons of fun. The dark green interior, wooden floors covered in sawdust and funky art on the wall never change.
