SOL Southwest Kitchen

One of my personal favorites is SOL Southwest Kitchen. They have nearly 70 premium tequila selections for you to choose from. From fine aged tequilas meant for sipping to premium Milagro tequila that you can find in most of their house margaritas, you’ll taste the difference good tequila makes.

They use freshly squeezed citrus juices, homemade sour mix and delicious ingredients to ensure you get the most natural tasting margarita possible! You can check out these incredible drinks at one of their 2 locations in Mount Pleasant and Summerville. 

Rancho Lewis

The food and drink menu at Rancho Lewis is a nod to Pitmaster John Lewis’ Texan roots in both El Paso and Austin, which means lots of green chiles. The chiles star in the ever-popular spicy margaritas at this downtown restaurant, and the most unique way to taste these chiles is in the frozen margarita. Fresh Hatch Green Chile juice adds a kick to a margarita on the rocks or the Mexican martini, but the frozen margarita gets its own special treatment. After a little trial and error they ended with a candied green chile jam that adds a hint of sweetness to the drink and compliments it perfectly. Check out these drinks any day of the week, or if you want a great deal, stop by for happy hour from 4 – 6 p.m. Monday through Friday for half-priced drinks and appetizers.

El Pincho Taco

There is no shortage of unique margaritas at this hidden gem downtown on Meeting Street. Between the restaurant’s Pincho Drinks and its new Mexico City Collection, it serves more than 30 varieties of margaritas. What happens if you can’t decide on just one? Don’t worry, you can sample four different margaritas with their margarita flight. 

So there you have it! A few of my favorite spots to go find a nice refreshing margarita after a long day in the sun! Don’t forget the chips and queso too!
