Pairing Wine and Cocktails with Tex Mex and Latin American Cuisine

Patricia C

When it comes to Tex Mex and Latin American cuisine, the flavors are bold, spicy, and complex. And what better way to complement these flavors than with a perfectly paired glass of wine or cocktail? At Sol Azteca Restaurant, we believe that the right wine or cocktail can elevate your dining experience to a whole new level. Here are some tips for pairing wine and cocktails with Tex Mex and Latin American cuisine:

Pairing Wine with Tex Mex and Latin American Cuisine

  1. Red Wine – The bold and spicy flavors of Tex Mex and Latin American cuisine pair well with a variety of red wines, such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Malbec. These full-bodied wines can stand up to the bold flavors of dishes like Carne Asada or Fajitas.
  2. White Wine – If you prefer white wine, go for a Sauvignon Blanc or a Chardonnay. These wines have enough acidity to cut through the richness of dishes like Salmon a la Parrilla or Shrimp Ceviche.
  3. Rosé – A dry rosé can be a great option for Tex Mex and Latin American cuisine. It’s light and refreshing, with enough acidity to complement dishes like Taco Salad or Chicken Enchiladas.

Pairing Cocktails with Tex Mex and Latin American Cuisine

  1. Margarita – No Tex Mex meal is complete without a classic Margarita. The tartness of the lime and the sweetness of the agave pair perfectly with dishes like Quesadillas or Nachos.
  2. Paloma – The Paloma is a refreshing and light cocktail that’s perfect for pairing with spicy dishes like Chiles Rellenos or Tamales. The grapefruit and tequila complement the bold flavors of these dishes without overpowering them.
