Cheddars Texas Margarita: Price, Calories & Nutrition Guide
The Cheddars Texas Margarita is the classic house margarita on the Cocktails menu: gold tequila and fine liqueurs, poured your choice of two ways — on the rocks or frozen. It is the margarita the rest of the lineup is built around, priced at the entry point of the category and sized for a regular dinner, not a special occasion.
The price is $6.99 at the Arlington, Texas, Cheddar’s, and the menu lists it at 340 calories — that is the on-the-rocks figure, matching Cheddar’s official nutrition guide; the frozen version runs 400 calories in the same guide. One thing to know before you plan around it: this listing is dine-in only at Arlington, so there is no online checkout for it — you order it at your table or the bar. This guide covers the Texas Margarita price, how it is served, its calories and full nutrition for both preparations, what to order it with, and how to get one.

What Comes With the Texas Margarita?
Order the Texas Margarita and you get the house margarita built on gold tequila and fine liqueurs — the drink the menu simply describes as the classic, served the way you choose. The only decision attached to the order is the preparation: on the rocks, poured over ice, or frozen, blended smooth. Both come at the same $6.99, and there are no priced add-ons or upgrades on this listing — the only extra control the menu offers is a free-text box for special instructions.
Because this is the dine-in listing, the margarita is made and served in the restaurant, at your table or at the bar. Cheddar’s also sells a separate to-go version of this drink, covered in its own guide; the one on this page is the sit-down original.
How Much Does the Texas Margarita Cost?
The Texas Margarita price is $6.99 at the Arlington, Texas, Cheddar’s — the lowest price of any margarita on the menu. The two premium builds sit above it: the Grande Top Shelf Margarita at $9.99 and the El Patrón Margarita at $10.99. The preparation choice does not change what you pay: on the rocks or frozen, the Texas Margarita is $6.99 either way, so the call between the two is about texture and calories, never about the bill.

Texas Margarita Nutrition and Calories
The Arlington menu displays a single calorie figure for this drink — 340 calories — and Cheddar’s official nutrition guide explains why: that is the panel for the margarita served on the rocks. The guide prints a second, separate panel for the frozen version at 400 calories, so the full official record for this one drink is two panels, split by preparation rather than by size. Both builds are fat-free and cholesterol-free; the frozen version carries a little more of everything else — 60 more calories, 10 more milligrams of sodium and 2 more grams of both carbs and sugars. The two tables below are the complete published panels, exactly as the guide prints them.

What to Pair With the Texas Margarita
Texas Frozen Swirl Strawberry is the frozen end of the same family for the other seat at the table. It takes the frozen Texas margarita and swirls it with strawberries at $6.99 and 420 calories, so one guest can keep the classic on the rocks while the other goes fully frozen and fruity — same price, two very different glasses.
Maui Margarita is the bigger frozen order to set beside it. At $7.99 and 470 calories, it splits the glass half strawberry and half mango, so a table that orders the plain Texas Margarita and the Maui side by side gets the straightforward classic and the tropical showpiece in one round.
Cheddar’s Long Island Iced Tea is the pairing for the guest who wants a different drink entirely at the same price. It is built on house liquors with sweet & sour and a splash of Coca-Cola, and at $6.99 and 230 calories it is the lighter-count glass on the table next to a 340-calorie margarita.
On the Rocks or Frozen? The 60-Calorie Decision
The two preparations look like the same drink wearing different textures, and on price they are — $6.99 either way. The official panels show where they actually part. On the rocks, the margarita comes in at 340 calories with 15 milligrams of sodium, 51 grams of carbs and 48 grams of sugars. Frozen, it rises to 400 calories, with sodium at 25 milligrams, carbs at 53 grams and sugars at 50 grams. Nothing else moves: both are completely fat-free, with zero cholesterol and zero protein.
Sixty calories is not a large gap, but it is a consistent one, and it explains why the menu prints 340 as the listing’s figure — that is the on-the-rocks drink, the default way most guests meet this margarita. Choose frozen for the blended, slushy texture and accept the slightly higher count; choose the rocks for the lighter panel and the cleaner, undiluted pour. Either way, you are ordering the same gold tequila and fine liqueurs underneath.
Nutrition and Allergen Considerations
The figures worth a second look on this drink are the sugars: 48 grams on the rocks and 50 grams frozen, out of 51 and 53 grams of total carbs — nearly all of the drink’s carbohydrate count is sugar, which is typical of a classic margarita build. Sodium stays low for a restaurant drink at 15 to 25 milligrams, and both preparations are fat-free. On allergens, the position is simple to state because there is nothing to list: Cheddar’s official Allergen Guide publishes no beverage or alcohol rows at all, so it prints no allergen flags for the Texas Margarita or for any other drink on the menu. That absence is not a promise that the drink is allergen-free — Cheddar’s cautions that its food and drinks are prepared in shared areas and that it cannot guarantee any menu item is completely free of allergens. If an ingredient is a concern for you, ask your restaurant before you order.
