"While the cocktail menu generally has no misses, three truly stand out: The frozen guacamole margarita is lush, creamy, and tangy, evading the cloying reputation of slushie drinks. The savory salsa verde margarita layers charred tomatillo, green chile, and cilantro into a complex, vegetal, and still highly drinkable flavor profile. The creamsicle margarita, clarified and served up, is a fragrant, mole- and coconut-kissed homage to the familiar frozen dessert, reimagined with finesse."
"A spin-off of Los Feliz's vibrant Mexican restaurant Mirate, which has an award-winning cocktail program too ambitious to be contained by one restaurant, Daisy Margarita Bar is one of the latest additions to Sherman Oaks' increasingly dynamic dining scene. Its razor-sharp focus is on the most popular cocktail in America: the almighty margarita. Robust cantina fare provides a gratifying sit-down dinner experience that orbits the comprehensive tequila and mezcal list but can stand alone thanks to a few star entrees and better-than-they-need-to-be botanas."
"Food-wise, the fideo seco breathes new life into the classic Mexican dish of tomato noodles by swapping in squid ink vermicelli and combining shrimp, chicharron, and avocado mousse; the result is akin to a decadent paella. The decadent queso fundido is unapologetically unsubtle: It's volcanically loud, bubbling with chorizo and crowned with pico de gallo and fresh herbs. The molten cheese bomb offers a compelling contrast to the bright flavors of the tequila drinks."
A spin-off of Mirate, Daisy Margarita Bar opened in Sherman Oaks with a razor-sharp focus on margaritas. Beverage director Max Reis masters the classic while offering savory and whimsical interpretations. Standout cocktails include a lush frozen guacamole margarita, a charred tomatillo and green-chile salsa verde margarita, and a clarified creamsicle cocktail with mole and coconut notes. Robust cantina food supports the drinks, highlighted by squid-ink fideo seco with shrimp, chicharron, and avocado mousse, and a volcanically loud queso fundido with chorizo and pico de gallo. The space suits lively date nights and group outings of tequila-loving friends.
