Pairing Mexican Dishes with the Perfect Tequila

Enhance Every Meal with the Best Tasting Tequila at El Mariachi

Pairing Mexican dishes with the perfect tequila can elevate your entire dining experience. Tequila is a tradition deeply rooted in Mexican culture. Just like wine complements fine cuisine, tequila can enhance the bold flavors in our authentic Mexican dishes. Whether you prefer smooth, aged varieties or crisp, bright notes, there’s a perfect pairing waiting for you at El Mariachi in Parkersburg, WV.

Boldly Choose Blanco Tequila: Fresh Flavor for a Mexican Meal

Blanco (or silver) tequila offers a clean, crisp flavor with citrus and herbal notes. Pair it with lighter dishes like shrimp tacos, ceviche, or chicken fajitas. The bright flavor balances well with zesty lime, cilantro, and the spice of jalapeños. Start your meal with this vibrant combination and awaken your taste buds.

Reposado Tequila: Smooth and Balanced Taste for Richer Mexican Dishes

Reposado rests in oak barrels for a few months, giving it a mellow flavor with hints of vanilla, spice, and oak. It pairs perfectly with slightly richer dishes like enchiladas suizas, carne asada, or pork carnitas. The oaky notes of reposado complement the smoky spices and savory richness in these traditional meals.

Ask for Añejo Tequila: Complex Flavor Complements Chiles Rellenos and More

Añejo ages for at least a year, developing a deep, complex character with caramel and spice undertones. Enjoy it alongside dishes like mole poblano, chiles rellenos, or steak fajitas. Aged tequila brings out the depth of sauces and spices, making each bite even more flavorful and satisfying.
