If you’ve ever found yourself at the Lakeview Mariano’s, chances are you unknowingly zoomed past Cesar’s Killer Margaritas. But this busy Mexican place is worth knowing about. They have a great selection of margaritas and a relaxing sidewalk patio perfect for people-watching. Margaritas here come in all sorts of fruity varieties, like guava, banana, and chamoy, and can be customized with salt, chile salt, or sugar on the rims. And though these lean a little sweet, they are surprisingly strong. Don’t plan on making clear-headed grocery decisions at Mariano’s afterward.
