Ask The Margarita Man...
- by Austin's Margarita Man, Mike Laymon:
Question: "Who invented the frozen margarita machine?" 
Answer: The invention of the Frozen Margarita Machine is claimed by Mariano Martinez of Mariano's Mexican Cuisine in Dallas, over 35 years ago in 1971.  Martinez "borrowed" the idea from a "Slurpee" machine at a local convenience store.  He then modified a soft-serve ice cream machine to concoct his tasty innovation.  His achievement was honored by a proclamation from the Texas State Senate in 2001, that you can view here.
