Drink Your Way Through Washington On The Margarita Mile

The margarita is one of the most underrated adult beverages of all time. And if you enjoy a nice, cold marg every now and then, you’ll love Washington’s Margarita Marathon. Tacoma happens to have several fantastic options located within a few miles of each other. And while driving the route would save you time, for obvious reasons, we recommend either designating a driver or going for a nice, long, tequila-powered walk.

Cactus Restaurants Facebook

Cactus is a beloved King County chain, and the Tacoma location is their most recent addition to the lineup. Their cuisine combines Southwestern fare with traditional Mexican dishes, and it's delicious -- especially when you wash it all down with a Cactus Margarita. The specialty margs are also tasty, but their original house margarita is the best.

At El Borracho, it's not about whether you want a margarita, it's about which kind to order. Their list of specialty margs includes hibiscus, coconut, and more -- and the house margarita, which is made from fresh lemon and lime juice and agave nectar, is nice and refreshing.

It's the cilantro tacos that often draw people to Mexico Magico, but this place also serves a phenomenal margarita. Order as many as you dare, but don't leave without trying the queso dip.
