I am happy to report that one of my favorite drinks, the frozen margarita, is available down here... in LARGE quantities. Last night we went to Taco Bill's for half price cocktails. It is a hole-in-the-wall Mexican restaurant in the city, and from the outside it doesn't look too promising. But once we stepped foot in this place, I felt confident that we had made a great decision. The ambiance was everything I'd want in a Mexican restaurant... tacky decor, mexican music, and rowdy tables of tequila pounding college students. My general rule of thumb for Mexican restaurants is "the sketchier the better"-just as long as the food and drinks are good. Any Mexican restaurant that makes an attempt at being classy is missing a key part of the equation. I had heard rumors about the fishbowl style margaritas at this place. The "Pancho Villa" is served in a supersized margarita glass and holds 13.2 shots of Tequila. There are 10 flavor choices for this monstrosity of a cocktail. I chose the Peach one. I had anticipated sharing one of these with a friend, but our Aussie friend who brought us there wouldn't allow us to share- he made us order our own. As I sit here this morning with a pounding headache and a burning desire to get on the treadmill (I'm sure these things had over 2,000 calories), I am proud to say I don't regret my decision to have my own personal Pancho Villa.
