Now that Jimmy Kimmel fever is over and Austinites are recovering from his visit during SXSW. We wanted to share with you as a way to keep Jimmy Kimmel’s spirit (no pun intended) alive how to make the Kimmelrita. But first, we want to thank Jimmy Kimmel for the shout out on Jimmy Kimmel Live. It’s our honor to name a margarita after you highlighted by George Clooney’s Casamigos Tequila and Independence Brewing Co.’s Stash IPA, just because you love beer!
Since the Kimmelrita was only available while Jimmy Kimmel was in Austin, our guests have asked how to make the popular margarita at home. You can click the video below to learn how to make the unique margarita the way Jesse, our head bartender, makes it. He recommends having a few Kimmelritas while watching Jimmy Kimmel Live.

It’s been 13 years today since the Twin Towers in New York City crumbled to the ground and forever changed our way of life. As we commemorate 9/11, we, at Iron Cactus, salute our own brave firefighters.
Last Sunday, we sponsored a team of firefighters, who honor their fallen brethren by climbing the equivalent of 110-stories at a building in downtown Austin. What is known as the Memorial Stair Climb for Texas Firewalkers, our team and the rest of the firefighters who participated, carried their full firefighting gear walking up 110-stories. They do this Memorial Stair Climb every year to honor the 343 brave heroes of the FDNY. Say thank you and hug a firefighter today. Never Forget!
Gluten-free is not just a diet craze.
According to the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness, about 1% of the U.S. population has celiac disease. For these individuals, staying gluten-free is a matter of life and death.
The rest of the population who are going on a gluten-free diet are doing so because they may be gluten sensitive or simply want to cut the amount of gluten foods they eat. Removing gluten from one’s diet may benefit some more than others.
In a recent article in CNN.com by Dr. Arthur Agatson, author of The South Beach Diet Gluten Solution, he declares that “as a society, we are in a state of ‘gluten overload,’ and millions of people of all ages and all walks of life are suffering as a result of a condition that was recognized only a few years ago, called gluten sensitivity.” [To view the complete article, please click here.]
One common complaint by many who have decided to try being gluten-free is the lack of taste in gluten-free dishes. At Iron Cactus, its gluten-free menu includes dishes that even the non-gluten-free guest would find delicious.
“We want to ensure that our gluten-free guests are able to experience the same tasty dishes that we create for our non-gluten-free guests, “said Iron Cactus Executive Chef Jaime Chozet. “Our gluten-free menu includes appetizers, entrées and desserts.”
The stacked pork enchiladas is one of the many gluten-free menu items at Iron Cactus.
Iron Cactus has been serving gluten-free dishes since 2008, years before other restaurants started to offer it.
So if you’re gluten-free, be sure to check out our gluten-free menu the next time you visit Iron Cactus.
For the 18th consecutive year, Iron Cactus Mexican Grill & Margarita Bar hosted a charity golf tournament to raise funds for Marbridge, a non-profit residential community that offers transitional and lifetime care to adults with a wide range of cognitive abilities providing them opportunities to learn, experience and live a normal life.
Through this annual charity golf tournament held at Grey Rock Golf Club, Iron Cactus has raised more than $400,000 excluding this year’s tournament. Last year alone, Iron Cactus raised $25,000 from the golf tournament. The funds from last year’s and this year’s event will go to the construction of a new gymnasium named as Victory Hall Athletic and Events Center at Marbridge. The name was suggested by its residents.
“We are thankful to our tournament sponsors and the golfers who play year in and year out,” said Gary Manley, General Partner at Iron Cactus. “With a new gymnasium, the residents of Marbridge will have a chance to learn and play new sports. It will also allow the Marbridge staff to host a variety of events and seminars.”
