National Margarita Day

It seems like there's a national day for everything nowadays but National Margarita Day is a day I'm down to get down with.  Here are 4 of my favorite St. Louis establishments to sip margs at in no particular order...because they're all awesome.

Mission Taco Joint

There are 2 locations in St. Louis.  Delmar and Soulard.  The Delmar, being the first location, is awesome, great service and bartenders, and in a really hip and fun area of St. Louis.  The Soulard location (also awesome with great service and bartenders) is a renovated garage, so nice days, the garage is open so it's more of a patio vibe.  Also, Soulard is where the 2nd biggest Mardi Gras celebration in the country takes place, so you know it's a cool area.

Regardless of which location you go to, you MUST get a fried Baja fish taco.  All you're going to do is salivate at the mouth until your first bite, be seriously depressed after the last bite, and all I have to say is, "I told you so.  You're welcome."  Also, everything is a la carte so you can get a Baja Fish Taco, a Grilled Chicken Taco, A Carne Asada Taco, a Chorizo Taco and make a whole taco flight out of it!  TACO PARTY SAY WHAT!

Oh, and back to the base of this post.  The margarita is required.  The Oaxacan Firing Squad is also amazing, but don't ask me how to pronounce it.  I say it wrong every single time.

Chava's

Chava's is also located in Soulard.  What I love about Chavas is the Pomegranate margarita.  My dear friend, Marti, and I thought it was so delicious that we decided to share an entire pitcher of it (silly girls).  Let me say it reallyyy hit us when we stood up :)  They also have Mango Margaritas, Orange Cream Margaritas, Blueberry Margaritas, basically any margarita flavor imaginable.

For food at Chava's, they have an appetizer called Jenas, which are jalapeno halves stuffed with Mexican sausage and white cheese.  SO GOOD.  Also, they have a build your own burrito option, which I'm a big fan of.

Pueblo Solis

Huckleberry margarita.  Now I'm still not sure exactly what a huckleberry is (I had to Google it because the only Huckleberry I'm familiar with is Finn), but it's seemingly a type of fruit that looks like a blueberry.  Regardless, it tastes delicious in margarita form.  The Queso Fundido appetizer is where it's at.

Chimichanga's Mexican Restaurant

Now as far as "cheap Mexican eats," this is for sure a gem.  The recently extended margarita menu includes a peach, which was peach perfection, in addition to their long running Bluesky Lime Margarita.  If you're having a bad day, head to Chimichanga's.  The bright colored, cheery, faux palm tree decorated, always crowded patio is a favorite and will instantly boost anyone's mood.  On your birthday, they'll sing to you, place a colorful sombrero on your head, and make you take a tequila shot while they have everyone's attention.  I know because it's happened to me.
