Great Margaritas, Wrong Place for Wine

The wine list at Dos Salsas reads like someone grabbed whatever was on sale at a Costco run and called it a program. It's not offensive — the prices are genuinely low — but it's also clear that wine is an afterthought here, a checkbox between the frozen margarita menu and the churro dessert.
We're talking 16-20 labels, almost entirely Woodbridge and Kendall-Jackson, which are the cargo shorts of the wine world — functional, universally acceptable, and totally unremarkable. There's a lone Terrazas Malbec from Argentina that at least suggests someone briefly considered venturing outside California. No Tex-Mex-friendly Spanish Garnacha, no bone-dry Txakoli, no funky rosé that might actually flatter a plate of cheese enchiladas. The list exists to upsell people who don't want another margarita, and that's about the ceiling of its ambition.
Six to eight pours at $6–$9 a glass is pricing that's hard to argue with, and for a casual weeknight margarita dinner, that's probably fine. The problem is the options are almost entirely the Woodbridge lineup — Merlot, Pinot Noir, Cab — plus a Kendall-Jackson or two and something sparkling that appears only when mimosas get mentioned. Rotation is essentially nonexistent; what's on the list today will be on the list next year.
Terrazas Malbec — $32
It's the only bottle on this list that comes from somewhere interesting. Terrazas makes a decent entry-level Mendoza Malbec with enough dark fruit and body to hold up against beef fajitas — and at the high end of their bottle pricing, it still beats what you'd pay for this wine at most places doing actual markup math.
Terrazas Malbec
Most people here are ordering margaritas or defaulting to the Woodbridge Cab out of habit. The Terrazas is the only bottle with a legit wine-growing region behind it, and it's the one pick that might actually make you think about what's in your glass.
Woodbridge Pinot Noir
Woodbridge Pinot Noir is thin, jammy, and struggles even on its own terms — and next to a plate of spicy queso or tamales, it just disappears. You're paying for a label that grocery stores discount to $6 a bottle. Order the Malbec or just get a second margarita.
Terrazas Malbec + Fajitas
Malbec and grilled beef is one of those no-brainer combinations — the smoky char on the fajita meat plays right into the dark fruit and light tannin structure of the Terrazas. It's not a revelatory pairing, but it's the one moment on this list where the wine and the food feel like they belong together.
❌ The Bottom Line
Dos Salsas is a genuinely fun Tex-Mex spot, and we'd happily eat here — but we're ordering the frozen margarita, not opening the wine list. The pricing is fair enough that it won't hurt you, but the selection won't excite you either.
Downtown Historic Square · Georgetown · Winery / Tasting Room
Georgetown Winery isn't trying to be a destination wine experience — it's a casual, zero-markup pit stop on the historic square where the drinks are honest and the prices are shockingly fair. Send a friend here if they want to relax with Texas wine without being lectured about it.

Grape Creek Georgetown is a one-portfolio show, but when that portfolio is priced at retail and the setting is this good, that's not a complaint — it's a reason to go. If you want Texas wine without the drive to the Hill Country, this square is your shortcut.

Golden Rule Annex is a cocktail bar that happens to have wine, and that's fine — especially when Friday and Saturday bring 50% off bottles. Don't come here expecting a deep list; do come here expecting a good time at a fair price.

Saltgrass Georgetown is not a wine destination — not even close — but it's one of the rare chain steakhouses where the wine program won't leave you feeling cheated. If you're here for the steak and want something decent in your glass at a fair price, you're covered.

Red Lobster's wine list is a corporate afterthought dressed in a laminated menu, and the Georgetown location is no exception. Order the Riesling, enjoy the biscuits, and save your wine curiosity for somewhere that shares it.

Wolf Ranch / I-35 Corridor · Georgetown · Steakhouse
LongHorn Georgetown is a perfectly fine place to eat a steak; it is not a place to drink wine. The pricing is fair enough that you won't feel robbed, but the list is so narrow and uninspired that you'd be better off asking what's on draft.

Cactus Grill is genuinely fun for what it is — a casual Tex-Mex spot with solid food and good margaritas — but the wine list is purely ornamental. Come for the tacos, drink the cocktails, and don't overthink the wine.

Cafe Del Rio is a genuinely fun Tex-Mex spot — just order a margarita and call it a night. The wine list is an afterthought dressed up as an option, and no one at this table should be fooled by it.

Juanita's is genuinely a fun spot for food and drinks — just make sure those drinks are margaritas. The wine list is overpriced, under-thought, and exists mostly to check a box; send your wine-loving friends here for the fajitas and the bar program, not the Chardonnay.
