I have a very love/hate relationship with tequila, in that, I LOVE to drink, but I hate the hangover.

With Cinco De Mayo kicking off the month of May, I thought, 'What better way to celebrate than to figure out the best margaritas in the Quad Cities?!'

There's just something about a refreshing marg that takes you to the beaches of Mexico as soon as the frozen drink reaches your lips. Wet your whistle with the Quad Citian's favorite margaritas!

    This is one of our favorite local Mexican restaurants. We like the atmosphere, the service is consistently very good, the wait is rarely long, the food is always good and margaritas are excellent.

    Favorite place in the QC to grab Mexican from. Been here multiple times and I'm never been let down. The margaritas are great and pack a perfect amount of tequila. Their chips and salsa are good and I never can say no to a delicious side of queso for the table. My favorite thing to order is the California burrito (steak, chorizo, beans, rice, pico, lettuce, and queso). If looking for good Mexican food I would highly recommend Los Portales.

    La Rancherita...how do I count the ways I love you? You portions are huge and inexpensive. I love the margaritas and the burritos. This place is a necessary stop every time I come home.

    Dined at La Flama this past weekend and thought the food was exceptionally good! We had spicy shrimp tacos and pork tacos. Both were very spicy and very delicious. The shrimp was not over cooked which often happens. Chips and salsa and guacamole were great. The beans were delicious and well seasoned. I had a frozen strawberry margarita that was the best I've ever had! Fresh strawberries were used in the drink making it particularly good. I will definitely return when I visit Moline again.

    The beef and bean tacos and their taco sauce are absolutely amazing!!! I've tried their enchilada, tamale, and chimi's and well taste was something left to be desired. So, any time I want just tacos and a margarita, this is my place!

    This place was cool, we just stopped for drinks on the roof top patio!  It was awesome Great Margarita's and brews!  We had 3 the waitress was super nice running up and down stairs to get our drinks! Very positive and fun!
    It's over looking a softball field so we enjoyed watching a game, you can also see and feel the Mississippi River which is like a block a way!
