we love margaritas too. sante fe flats (tia margarita), el palenque (jumbo gold) and margarita's in conroe (jumbo gold) are a few of the best. we actually have a website, MargaritaTexas.com where we rate and review margaritas. we have about 40 entries (30 in houston alone). We also have an extensive listing of margarita recipes

I can't believe you're ignoring the beergarita. Beergarita > Margarita. That's just basic math.

I'm afraid San Antone is home to the best margarita, but this is an incredible idea. Happy hunting!

So, yeah...my sample size is small, but Ninfa's on Navigation has some great 'ritas that will put you on the floor with a quickness. (That's a scientific term.) -- That said, I am more than happy to help this quest when I am in town in late April.

I'm told Maria Selma's is the best.

I've had several great maragaritas during my decade in Houston, and plenty of bad ones too! Some of my favorites: Cafe Adobe (Westheimer-Shepherd) Los Cucos (249 @ spring-cypress) El Palenque (on 249) Del Pueblo (Jones Rd.) Taco Milagro (Kirby) Worst: Chapultepec (Richmond) Tia Maria (Dacoma) most Taquerias and lots of other places (obviously, they were not memorable...) I'm open to conducting field research in this matter.

Don't buy the billboards: Cafe Adobe's awful food could never, ever make up for their decent margaritas. Personally, I prefer the Hatch chile margatini that Chuy's does every summer, but that shouldn't count since it's seasonal.

Spanish Village and Pico's - two of the best in town.
