looking for a place that is NOT a Mexican restaurant that has top notch margaritas. and don't come in here saying Superior, if I wanted to drink margaritas at a restaurant, I would just go to Carreta"s

ETA: there you go freuax, sorry if I have offended what may, or may not be your actual heritage

Your house. Get some Agave nectar and a ton of limes. 2 parts tequila, 1 part lime juice, 1/2-3/4 part agave nectar.

This is how it's done at Tommy's Mexican restaurant in San Francisco, and it's hands down the best margarita you'll try. Put it in a shaker since the nectar doesn't want to dissolve. Tequila martini almost, but damn it's so darn good. Be prepared to get pie-eyed. I use Hornitos Reposado, but any GOOD (relative to wallet thickness) one will do.

I just realized that I've never actually ordered a margarita from anywhere other than a Mexican restaurant!

Do you like frozen or on the rocks? Most sports bars are too busy to take the time to make a decent frozen drink.

I'm sure the upscale bars at some of the hotels downtown will do one right for you. Carousel Bar when not too busy, or the bars at the Roosevelt, W, or Ritz would probably make good ones.
