The Mexicano

One of Chandler's newest Mexican spots, The Mexicano is already a scene. Envision a DIY margarita bar (with garnishes galore) and DJs spinning while you sip on your very own Fuego Margarita served in a souvenir piñata cup. It’s extra and it knows it. Hit their daily happy hour in the bar area from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. for peak marg joy.

Modern Margarita

With a modern style patio and pops of color inside, this spot feels fresh and a little fancy without trying too hard. The Spicy Prickly Pear and Blood Orange margs are bold, but we keep going back to the OG Rita, a clean, crisp margarita made with traditional blanco tequila, triple sec and agave sour. Plus, their happy hour comes with a screaming taco deal. Win-win.

Valle Luna

If you’re the “give me a marg and a view” type, Valle Luna’s got you. It’s lakeside (yes, in Chandler), and the vibe is super relaxed. Order a La Pina marg, grab a seat with a view, and enjoy some Sonoran-style Mexican eats while the breeze does its thing.

Each mouthwatering margarita is served with a salted rim and lime slice for a refreshing classic margarita. There are also several premium upgrades you can add to your margarita, including adding Herradura Tequila (for an additional $3) and Don Julio (for an additional $5).

La Ristra

This place is for the tequila lovers. With more than 100 tequilas to choose from, you know they know their margaritas. Try the Jalapeno Margarita for a spicy kick or the Sangrita if you’re keeping it chill. Bonus points for the patio, where you can catch dusk turn to night while sipping something tasty.
