Adobo Grill Wicker Park
"Had the margarita, and it was one of the best I've had, not watered down. I've had a craving for one since. Would not hesitate to go back." --Rosie

Zapatista
"I'm usually complaining when it comes to restaurant reviews because the high cost of eating out in the city should mean across-the-board great service and great food, and I am so often mistaken in this optimistic naivete. But Zapatista, I'm going to defend. No, the margaritas aren't killer-strong, but a real Mexican margarita is not meant to be. Ceviche [is] pretty good, and service in my four times there has been very good." --Jenny D.

Meztiso Latin Bistro & Wine Bar
Outstanding tart margaritas that taste as a margarita should; wonderful tapas; and fresh seafood in unusual, delicious preparations. I can't wait to go back to try more of the menu!" --Mary A.

Platiyo
"My date and I were promptly greeted by the host (yes, there was a host to greet guests), and seated immediately. Our server quickly brought our drinks. I love the margaritas, which were fresh and tart. The food was fabulous." --Edward

"My friends and I decided to try Platiyo last night for a few appetizers and margaritas, and we were very pleasantly surprised. I can't believe the size of their margaritas, and the value for the food was excellent. I would definitely recommend this place for drinks and appetizers, and will return for a full meal soon." --Emily

Frontera Grill/Topolobampo
"This place was amazing! ... We were seated right away and greeted warmly by our waiter. He recommended the margarita (it had an orange-infused tequila, must try) shaken right at the table! Very good!" --Valerie

El Cid 2
"We always feel at home here; we're greeted by name, and the waitstaff has our order memorized. In the summer, there's no better place than their back patio with a pitcher of margaritas." --Mark and Jill

"El Cid is by far the hippest place to be in the summertime. The margaritas are so smooth, you don't even feel the tequila. The patio is so nice and peaceful, you forget you're not in Mexico but in Logan Square. I can't wait to go again!" --Adriana M.
