Dallas Does Margaritas!

Happy Monday! We all know the best cure to the Monday blues is a good margarita!

Now, I wouldn't consider myself an expert on margaritas, but I've certainly tasted my fair share of margaritas, and the majority of them have been in some of my favorite restaurants in the Big D! Before checking out my fav margarita spots, check out my favorite Mexican Restaurants in this great state!

There are so many Tex-Mex/Mexican/South American restaurants, in and around Dallas. You'd think it'd be easy to find the best margaritas possible... It's not. But the ones on my list were worth the hunt.

The Rustic (you can read about our first trip to The Rustic HERE)
When you looking for an easy going afternoon, The Rustic is the place to go. When you're looking for a fun margarita that has a popsicle stuck in it, this is the place to go! Sangria popsicles stuck in a margarita... Let that sink in (pun totally intended), because these things are dang good!
Nico's (Carrollton)
This is a total hidden gem. Maybe a bit less than a gem, but it's a great semi hole in the wall place. Did I mention they have about 50 various flavors of margaritas? Yes, it's perfect, and they're cheap!
Mi Cocina
Well, well, well... While this little one may not be the normal idea of a margarita, being a swirl, Mi Cocina's Mambo Taxi is not one to be skipped. It's rumored to have Everclear and a few other secret ingredients. Just remember, the majority of Mi Cocina's will only allow you to purchase two... Get an Uber, because one is enough for even The Hulk.
Neighborhood Services (Addison location)
So this is kinda a no brainer. NHS is my favorite restaurant. Ever. They have the best service, which includes their incredible bartenders and their ingenious Bar Manager/Crazy awesome drink inventor, Ivan. He introduced us to the Caipirinha, The National Drink of Brazil, which is sort of a margarita and sort of a mojito. If you haven't had one, you're missing out. It's almost to perfect.
Chuy's
When I think of cheap margaritas at happy hour (and free queso too), I think of Chuy's. $4 for a decent size margarita(between 5-7)? I can dig it. Their Prickly Pear is my favorite, and you really can't beat the price at happy hour along with the freebies they offer!
Gloria's
Although pricey compared to other options, Gloria's margaritas are easily some of the strongest, but best I've had. Their mango marg is pretty dang delectable.
Baja Grill
This one takes the cake. The first time I had one, okay it was really less than half of one, I thought I was getting dizzy, which is always what happens before a migraine comes on... Until I realized I was in the midst of a hard buzz. OFF OF HALF OF A MARGARITA! Take a look around this restaurant on any given day... Every. Single. Person. has a margarita... as Thomas says, "It's like a margarita cult." And until a fellow nanny mentioned that she was "one and done" with their margs, I thought I was just your typical light weight. I kid you not, try one of these, and you will see!

I'm always up for new places to sip a marg on a sunny day- where's your favorite margarita place?
It's 5 o'clock somewhere!
