\"ASOSHappy Friday, sweet things! In the spirit of tomorrow being Cinco de Mayo, I thought it would be fun to share some of the best places to get great margs and Mexican food in the Queen City (that\u2019s Charlotte, NC for those of you who don’t know). And by best places, I really mean these are my favorite places so this post maybe a little biased.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"ColorFirst, let\u2019s tackle margaritas<\/em> (because it\u2019s the most important, duh). I\u2019ll share my top 3 spots, in no particular order!<\/p>\n

One of my favorite places to grab a good marg is Bakersfield<\/a>. Their margarita mix is hands down some of the best I\u2019ve ever had. Like, my mouth is watering just thinking about it. They offer pitchers to share, which is fabulous. If you prefer to have them all to yourself, then you can get your single serving margarita in a cute mason jar (which makes for a great instagram photo opt).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"My favorite place to get a spicy margarita is RuRu\u2019s<\/a>. My drink of choice is called \u201cYou Talkin to Me\u201d.<\/em> It’s made with a jalape\u00f1o infused tequila, yummy!\u00a0 <\/span>I love RuRu\u2019s because they have a large out door patio. It is typically crowded in the warmer months, so I suggest you arrive early this Saturday.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you want a classy margarita, then head to SouthBound<\/a>. They have a great cocktail list in general, so you have the opportunity to switch it up if margaritas are not your thing.\u00a0 <\/span>They have lots of outdoor seating, which is hard to find at most Mexican joints. The only negative, is that their margaritas come in small glasses (lol).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Moving onto food! Because what is Cinco de Mayo without a big bowl of queso and some tacos, am I right?!<\/p>\n

If you want some authentic Mexican cuisine, then I highly suggest Three Amigos<\/a>. It is a cozy little Mexican eatery, some may say hole-in-the-wall. The food though is delicious, and their portions are large<\/em>. Their margaritas are the size of my head, but that\u2019s besides the point. If I want \u201creal\u201d Mexican food, then this is where I go!<\/p>\n

\"ColorfulAnother great joint to grab a bite to eat at is Paco\u2019s Tacos and Tequila<\/a>. Their queso is soo yummy! I typically get the dilla (quesadilla), but a lot of people I know get the enchiladas. I suggest making a reservation, if possible. They tend to have a wait.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Other honorable mentions are Cabo Fish Taco<\/strong> and Cantina 1511<\/strong>!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I hope everyone has a fun and safe Cinco de Mayo! You can find me at one of these locations, \u00a0sippin’ my way through the day one spicy margarita at a time.<\/p>\n
