(Some of) The Best Margaritas in the Cedar Valley

Today is not only 2/22/22 on a Tuesday, it's also National Margarita Day! I was inspired to put this together by one of the folks at our sister station, Courtlin -- she put together the same list for the Cedar Rapids area.

With a plethora of Mexican restaurants across the Cedar Valley, there are a ton of opportunities to find a spot and celebrate.

And don't worry about looking through the internet trying to find a local place! We've done the work for you. Check out some of the best places to stop and get a margarita in Cedar Falls or Waterloo, according to Yelp and Facebook reviews.

I've had my fair share of margarita experiences in my life. One recent time included a trip to one of the aforementioned restaurants where my friends and I ordered some of the jumbo variety.

Several of us ordered a couple. One friend got quite intoxicated.

Luckily we had a few friends who did not drink that night and collectively made our way to Main Street and several of the bars there. We had a really good time.

Said quite-intoxicated friend ultimately walked home by himself in the rain without telling any of us he left. He doesn't remember doing so and also thought he thoroughly embarrassed himself in front of a few people he had just met. Funny enough, it turned out the next time I hung out with those friends, their thoughts were the following:

Where did (insert name here) go? He was so funny!

That friend is really funny. He also told me several times how much he loved me that night (I 100% do the same thing when even moderately intoxicated, it's kind of my schtick). It was nice to be on the other side of that for once.
