Good margaritas in Ffd. Cty.

I'm finding a dearth of decent margaritas in the Stamford area - anyone have any suggestions? The type of restaurant/bar doesn't make a difference - holes-in-the-wall are great, as are more upscale places.

      Def. Vivas! And, on a day like today, that sounds like a fantastic idea!

        viva zapata in westport, fonda la paloma in cos cob and boxcar cantina in greenwich all have excellent margiaritas!

          Although I would add that Boxcar, which makes an excellent straight up fresh lime, Cointreau and Centennario Plata margarita (aka, the Texas Tornado, if I recall), has a lot of gall charging $17 per...

            I agree - Vivas has great ones - fresh lime juice, and you can actually taste the tequila. Fonda's, in my experience, have been weak.

            Just over the border into Port Chester, I've had excellent margaritas at Sonora. Fresh lime juice, Cointreau, and a nice selection of sliver tequilas, served straight up in a martini glass...a real cocktail, not a slushie.
