February 22nd is no ordinary day ... It's National Margarita Day! So kick back and enjoy a cold one. Several restaurants around town are offering that much-needed excuse to indulge.
On the Border: To celebrate, the chain restaurant is breaking out $2 house margaritas (normally $4.50) all night. The 12-ounce glasses are offered frozen or on the rocks. They'll also have CoronaRitas — house margaritas spruced up with a little bottle of Coronita — for $5.
5205 E. Broadway
Reforma Cocina y Cantina: The gourmet Mexican restaurant in St. Philip's plaza has an expansive bar list, including several types of margaritas and tequila-based cocktails. During happy hour until 6 p.m., specialty margaritas including a house margarita with "salt air" (a salty foam that floats on the top of the drink) are $1 off.
