| New Orlean's Largest Margarita: Our Everest |
Good Luck! We sincerely hope that you win! And that you have way less than 13 friends…!
(Saturday you ask? We’re free!)
Rita’s Tequila House
419 Bourbon Street
Reason: We aren’t able to provide reasoning behind much of what you’ll decide to do on Bourbon Street. Desiring Mexican food; however, requires no reasoning.
Drink: Mango or Blueberry Margarita (you’re on Bourbon Street, live a little)
Drank: Class it up: with a selection from their endless Tequila shelf
Drunk: Class it down: with $2 shots on Tuesdays
mindless musings:
We’re aware that our claim to fame has a lot to do with absurdity, a lot to do with drinking and a lot to do with the recounting of the absurd and drunken events that decorate our lives. However, we would like the record to state that we sometimes make an effort to retain a little bit of class.
Therefore, when an invitation is extended to visit Bourbon Street on a Wednesday at 5:30pm, we have to mull it over a couple of times. Until our mulling is quickly interrupted and overridden by the information that there will be complimentary tequila sampling and a make your own taco bar. In which we respond “5:30? We may be able to sneak out of work early and be there by 5”.
We mean, come on, Wednesday is hump day. And we all know that no place does humping better than Bourbon Street. Therefore, we recognized our good faith efforts to steadily climb the sobriety hill on Monday and Tuesday and we began our quick descent back down to (below) sea level. Six Margaritas and five trips to the taco bar never tasted so good. Yes. That many. Because no matter how hard we tried to say no, Miss Rita insisted on satisfying us all. night. long. And not just in the kitchen, but on the patio and the bar, too.

| When in doubt, order one of each |
The furnishing of Rita’s Tequila House offers all of the usual detailing of Mexican restaurants in America: a festively tiled floor, chili-shaped string lights, oversized sombreros tacked up on the wall, and posters on how to pronounce “¡papá!”. But one detail that Rita’s is walking the walk while everyone else is just talking the talk is found on the shelves which hold their tequila. Their 135 beautiful bottles of tequila. So whether you have a stark preference of either Blanco, Reposado or Añejo (or you just prefer anything that doesn’t have a dead worm aging in the bottom of it) Rita’s bartenders will help steer you in the right general direction. (Just remember: whether traveling to Mexico or taking shots of tequila, the direction you’re generally headed is down.)
Rita’s also boasts a beautiful back yard patio, which to our enjoyment was hosting a performance by the Philharmonic Orchestra that evening. (Seeee, we told you we were classy). While enjoying our margaritas and smooth tunes outside on the dimly lit and cozy patio, we took notice that we felt completely separated and nestled away from the loud music and hooligans populating Bourbon Street. We felt buzzed, comfortable, and most of all, classy. So classy in fact that we almost side stepped the conversation topic of guessing who was enjoying their Bourbon Street tacos the most: us or the males populating the strip club next door.
Almost.

Stay classy, New Orleans San Diego. Because there’s not much hope for this town.
