There isn't one...
If you specifically must have Tex-Mex and margaritas together, I think your only option is the Seaside Taco Bar, and your food options will be limited to tacos, burritos and chips/salsa. I think they turn out a good product but the bill can quickly become staggering if you get anything other than a few tacos and a drink. They may or may not be open at present;they were dark the last few times I went by. I think the best tacos going in SOWAL can be found, ironically enough, at two non-Mexican entries;that would be fish tacos at the Smiling Fish Cafe and Hurricane's Oyster Bar. I don't think Smiling Fish serves liquor, and Hurricane's serves a horrific wine-based margarita (but both have a good beer selection, especially Hurricane's). If you want to drive a bit, I think a pretty good spot that serves Tex-Mex, margaritas, beer, etc is La Paz in Destin. It is hidden and far, but will satisfy your craving. Hope that helps

skunky:
1) I think the tacos at seaside are good, and I hear the margaritas are great. but the menu is way too limited for me when I am craving mexican.
2) Smiling Fish serves beer and wine. and their food is the best on 30A no matter what the hail you order.
3) can't imagine ordering a taco or anything at Hurricane's
4) La Paz is another gourmet mexican. fresh and really nice. but not the hole in the wall mexican family run place. I must say that the folks that like this kind of mexican food really like this place!
It's on Hwy 98 just east of the 30-A intersection on the north side. Not much atmosphere... really no atmosphere, but pretty good Mexican food. NOTE - they do not take Credit Cards.
It's worth a try. I like the enchaladas.
This place is a bit too authentic for me. I guess I like the Tex-Mex the best. I found the food here to be very bland with odd items placed in tacos, for instance french fries. When I ordered a cheese enchalada I got an enchalada stuffed with onions topped with cheese.
I don't think they even have a beer and wine license, but could be wrong. Recently Destin Ice House Meat Market has been replaced with a Mexican Grocery.
Awesome description. We really didn't need anything more than phase one.
