    Daisy Margarita Bar: Tequila, Mezcal & Mexican Food

    Daisy Margarita Bar: Tequila, Mezcal & Mexican Food

    Daisy Margarita Bar in Sherman Oaks offers a vibrant dining experience with a focus on margaritas, tequila, mezcal, and robust cantina fare, including standout dishes like queso fundido and fideo seco.

    Unmistakable Flavors: Queso Fundido & Tequila Pairings

    The queso fundido is unapologetically unmistakable: It’s volcanically loud, gurgling with chorizo and crowned with pico de gallo and fresh herbs. The molten cheese bomb uses a compelling comparison to the brilliant tastes of the tequila drinks.

    Margarita Menu Highlights

    While the alcoholic drink menu typically has no misses, three absolutely stand out: The icy guacamole margarita is lush, creamy, and zesty, averting the cloying credibility of slushie drinks. The savory salsa verde margarita layers charred tomatillo, environment-friendly chile, and cilantro into a complicated, vegetal, and still extremely drinkable taste account.

    Fideo Seco: A Mexican Meal Rejuvenated

    Food-wise, the fideo seco rejuvenates the traditional Mexican meal of tomato noodles by swapping in squid ink vermicelli and incorporating chicharron, avocado, and shrimp mousse; the outcome belongs to a decadent paella.

    A spin-off of Los Feliz’s dynamic Mexican dining establishment Mirate, which has an award-winning cocktail program too enthusiastic to be had by one dining establishment, Daisy Margarita Bar is one of the latest additions to Sherman Oaks’ increasingly vibrant dining scene. Its lancinating focus gets on one of the most prominent mixed drink in America: the almighty margarita. Robust cantina fare supplies a pleasing sit-down dinner experience that orbits the thorough tequila and mezcal list yet can stand alone many thanks to a few star meals and better-than-they-need-to-be botanas.
