The editorial take
Chili's Grill & Bar leans hard on margaritas, with a rotating $6 Margarita of the Month, eight named variations, and a happy hour Tequila Classic Marg at $7. The Presidente, Casamigos, Henny, and Skinny margaritas use named tequila, cognac, and liqueur brands. Beer and house wine are simple happy hour pours, and the nonalcoholic side runs to flavored lemonades and iced teas.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Margarita of the Month; September's Cherry Limeade Marg is $6 with el Jimador Blanco Tequila, Triple Sec, Monin Grenadine, house-made sour, and Sprite. If you want a year-round pour, the Presidente Margarita blends Lunazul Reposado Tequila, Patron Citronge Orange Liqueur, and E&J Brandy.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Anyone who wants a margarita lineup with named tequila and cognac brands at happy hour pricing, or a straightforward beer and house wine pour without a long list to sort through.
- When should I go?
- Happy hour is the clear window for the $7 Tequila Classic Marg and $3-$5 beer pours. The Margarita of the Month changes each month, so the featured $6 drink is worth checking before a visit.
- What should I expect to spend?
- The Margarita of the Month is $6, the happy hour Tequila Classic Marg is $7, happy hour beer runs $3-$5 depending on brand and size, and house red or white wine is $5 at happy hour.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- A rotating Margarita of the Month program with a year-round lineup of past flavors, plus a to-go alcohol menu that carries Presidente, Don Julio, Patron, Henny, Casamigos, Skinny, and Cherry Limeade margaritas.
