National yogurt day? Bleh. National cheesecake day? Bleh. National peanut butter day? Bleh. National margarita day, now that’s something I can get behind!! There are hundreds of places to have a good margarita, these are my top picks for the Houston area! Let me know if I missed your fave! Xo – Margarita Snob!

Cyclone Anaya’s, Several locations

They’re bringing it back to 1978 (the year the Anaya’s introduced the concept to Houston) and offering $5 jumbo margaritas, yes the giant 21 oz goblets! One gets you feeling good, two or more and let’s just say that you’ll need an Uber home, I may say this from experience. Only catch is that an entrée must be purchased!

El Tiempo Cantina, Several locations

My faveeee frozen strawberry margarita!! Their own house tequila is part of what makes this margarita so delicious, and they come in the cutest glasses too! They’ll have special Herradura Silver margaritas on the rocks for $9, and happy hour prices all day long!

Xochi, 1777 Walker St.

They’ll have a special dinner and margarita paring for just $58! I loveee this place and to be honest anything Chef Hugo touches turns to gold! I’ve had “The Greatest Margarita Ever Sold,” and it ain’t cheap! This margarita will set you back $29, and although it’s perfect, I can’t bring myself to splurge this much on just one drink. Good news is that you wont have to either, they will be serving this margarita for $15!! In case you’re curious, the 25-year aged Grand Marnier combined with Gran Centenario añejo tequila is what makes it, “The greatest!”

The Pastry War, 310 Main St.

A night downtown isn’t complete without a stop here. They make their margaritas with blanco tequila, key and Persian limes, agave nectar, and citrus salt! It’s super impressive watching them make an all natural marg from start to finish, have one frozen or shaken. HH is every day from 4-6:30 pm, half off all mezcals and tequilas, complimentary aguas frescas, and free games of pool.

They’re offering $5 house ritas and $6 blue frozen ritas. Not sure what they put in the blue ones, but they’ve got a reputation for being strong! El Patio is known for getting wild, and they’ll have a live mariachi band in the evening! I’m sold!!

La Calle Cantina, 909 Franklin St.

Come for the margs stay for the sign! $4 house ritas during happy hour, need I say more?
