Margarita Monday — HALF OFF Margaritas ALL DAY! Taco Tuesday — $6 Drink & Taco Specials ALL DAY! About Hussong’s Mexican Cantina Founded in 1892, Hussong’s Mexican Cantina is famously known as “The Bar That Built A Town.” What began as a small saloon in the fishing village of Ensenada, Mexico—opened by German immigrant Johann “John” Hussong—has grown into one of the most legendary cantinas in North America. More than 130 years later, the original location still stands in Ensenada and remains family-owned. Hussong’s is also celebrated as the birthplace of the Original Margarita, created in 1941 by bartender Don Carlos Orozco. Today, that legacy lives on with our curiously strong margaritas, hand-shaken with fresh ingredients. At Hussong’s, guests experience award-winning Mexican cuisine, vibrant flavors inspired by Baja, and a lively cantina atmosphere where history, music, and celebration come together. From legendary margaritas to unforgettable fiestas, every visit is part of the story.
“My friend and I had an amazing lunch here on the patio. The water fountain and shade made it the perfect atmosphere to enjoy tacos, rice and beans. We had tried a delicious margarita that hit the spot! The server was kind and kept checking up on us as we enjoyed our lunch. The chips and salsa were my favorite. The salsa had a unique flavor and I liked it. We tried the trio mix enchiladas, tacos and taquitos. My food was on the warm side then hot. Overall great flavors. Also, the music selection was a vibe and yes they have TVs. I recommend to locals & tourists.”
“Special thank you to Jaky, the manager, and Kristine, behind the bar!! Your care was exceptional!! Our delicious dinner tacos and margaritas were outstanding!! The steak and shrimp fajita was so delicious!! The venue is very cozy and comfortable. The price point is perfect as well!! February 22 is National Margarita Day!! There will be a mariachi band playing and singing too!!! Don’t miss out!! You won’t be disappointed!!”
“I can’t believe I waited this long to try Hussong’s! I honestly feel like I’ve been missing out for years. I ordered the Cali Burrito and it was absolutely incredible—easily one of the best I've had. The flavors were spot on and the portions were generous. I’m already planning my next trip back. Solid 5 stars!”
“All the staff were so friendly!! I spoke with David and Nick both servers, then the managers Manny and Jaki!! The staff REALLY added to the atmosphere of the restaurant! The food was amazing too! I had Shrimp Fajitas and they also served Chips and Two types of Salsa! There’s a big Patio if you want to eat outside and the football game was on, and there were like four other TVs and one had Trivia! Definitely worth the visit- AND they said they have Two other locations, one in Mandalay Bay and One on St Rose and Maryland in Henderson!”
“We visited on a Tuesday night after Super Bowl, so vibe was positive and not rowdy. The enjoyed the fajitas. Standard fare and fresh. The tortillas are standard food service grade and not a stand out option. The 2 table side cantina style sals were tasty. Rice and Refried beans are standard fare. We learned they do not batter their chile relleno in case that made a difference. For us, we were shooting for a battered chile relleno. Bartender served us while sitting at a high top. She was friendly but just went through the standard motions. If meeting a group of friends in a busy Warner evening, sitting outside would add to the vibe and recommend to standard menu items or easy eats from happy hour menu. I wasn’t able to find any dish that was unique or stood out compared to other cantina style establishments.”
