These independently owned Mexican restaurants are famous for food (especially the tableside salsa), live music and—you guessed it—margaritas. They use an original recipe including limes, triple sec, sweet-and-sour and tequila. You can kick back and unwind with the classic house margarita (which is $3 during happy hour); be cool and sip on a “Diablo Azul”; spice up your life with the jalapeño margarita; or be classy and try a margatini. You can’t really go wrong when ordering a margarita at Guadalajara Grill. And with happy hours from 3 to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday, and 10 p.m. to close on Friday and Saturday, you can have a fun-filled time without emptying your wallet.
