Best Margarita in SD

[gator28]

I am interested in tasting some of the BEST margs in San Diego. I am partial to Tony Jacal's Cadillac, but also enjoy the Old Fashioned. I am always hesitant to order a regular margarita at a restaurant because I fear the super sugary sweet-and-sour...and when it's too sweet, I simply cannot stomach it.

So, what are some of your favorite places in San Diego County?

Very fond of Alchemy's.

Re. Berlin. White wine, yes. Margaritas, no.

If you want a margarita made with specifically identifiable ingredients as opposed to "sweet and sour" then I would recommend Cantina Mayhuel. The tequila of your choice, lime, triple sec, agave nectar, all in an excellent proportion. After your margarita, for a second drink try a sipping shot of an añejo mezcal. "Ilegal mezcal" is an excellent choice.

El Callejon in Encinitas has a good rep for margartias.

Personally, I'm partial to the Brig's day-glo margaritas. I certainly wouldn't call them the best, but they pair nicely with the Brig's fish tacos and the view from the Brig's Del Mar patio.
