Margarita Mania: The winner! | Metromix Chicago
Margarita Mania: The winner!

Our monthlong competition really heated up in the final round. Lincoln Park's Tarascas International went head-to-head against Wicker Park's Salud Tequila Lounge, and loyal fans furiously clicked for their favorite. The 12,800 votes cast in the finals nearly tripled the vote count of the previous round.

The winner? The ridiculously huge, very potent, 45-and-a-half-ounce house margarita at Tarascas. Readers claim it's the best margarita in the city. Clearly, size does matter!
