FMBGN-Tequila & Taco Tuesday-Nervous Nellies

Sunshine, salt, and a plate full of decisions—that’s the sweet spot we find at Nervous Nellie’s on Fort Myers Beach. We pull up a chair on the bayside and chase two very different margaritas while lining up crispy shrimp and blackened mahi tacos to see what truly hits that Tuesday stride.

First, we break down the millionaire margarita, a masterclass in balance: fresh lime and lemon for clean acidity, agave for gentle sweetness, and a hint of orange liqueur to round the edges. The inverted tequila bottle isn’t just flair; it deepens the drink as you go, turning each sip into a new moment. Then we switch gears to the house infused margarita, where pineapple, strawberry, and orange soak for five days to build a soft, tropical profile. We talk about how to avoid cloying sweetness, why patience matters in infusion, and what home bartenders can borrow from this approach.

On the taco side, boom boom shrimp brings craveable crunch and creamy heat, brightened by pico and anchored by flour tortillas. We explore why texture contrast makes or breaks a fried seafood taco, and how beans and rice reset the palate between bites. The blackened mahi tacos deliver a different kind of satisfaction: spice-kissed fish with red cabbage snap and a smoky chipotle aioli that complements rather than covers. We get into the details—char versus dryness, cabbage for structure, and how acid ties coastal flavors together.

If you’re planning your next taco run on Fort Myers Beach, this tasting tour serves as a simple playbook: start bright with citrus, pair sauce with crunch, and let fresh toppings do honest work.
