Review methodology and evidence standardsThe editorial take
The beverage program at this Chili's leans on margaritas: a To-Go Alcohol section lists Presidente, Don Julio, Patron, Henny, Casamigos, Skinny, and Cherry Limeade versions, plus a Tito's Watermelon Spritz. Happy hour adds a $6 Margarita of the Month and a $7 Tequila Classic Marg. Beer runs $3-$5 for 16 oz and 22 oz pours, house wine is $5, and nonalcoholic options include house-made lemonades and flavored iced teas.
- What should I order?
- Start with a margarita from the To-Go Alcohol list—Don Julio Marg, Casamigos Marg, or the Presidente Margarita—or the Tito's Watermelon Spritz if you want something other than tequila. At happy hour, the $6 Margarita of the Month and $7 Tequila Classic Marg are the clear cocktail picks.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Anyone who wants a margarita-focused drink list with recognizable branded spirits and a straightforward beer lineup. The house-made lemonades and flavored iced teas give non-drinkers several specific choices rather than one default.
- When should I go?
- Happy hour is the value window: $6 Margarita of the Month, $7 Tequila Classic Marg, $3-$5 beers, and $5 house wine.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Happy hour pricing is concrete: $6 for the Margarita of the Month, $7 for the Tequila Classic Marg, $3-$5 for 16 oz and 22 oz beers, and $5 for house red or white wine.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The cocktail list is built around named margarita variants with specific branded spirits—Don Julio, Patron, Casamigos, Henny, and Tito's—rather than a generic house margarita. The nonalcoholic side is equally specific, with four house-made lemonades and three flavored iced teas.
