Taste & Thirst

15 Excellent Margaritas to Try in San Diego | Eater

"It can be hard to spend an evening in the Gaslamp Quarter without emptying your wallet these days, but at Taste and Thirst you can still get an honest pour for some of the best prices downtown. It’s happy hour every day from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m., with half-price drinks and terrific deals on food. Spice things up with a jalapeño margarita (jalapeño-infused Astral Blanco tequila, agave, lime, Tajín rim) some TNT Strips & Fries (buffalo chicken strips drizzled in honey mustard and barbecue sauce), fries or tots in five different flavors, or a fat California burrito stuffed with sirloin steak, French fries, guacamole, sour cream, cheddar, and jack cheese. Best of all, Taste and Thirst has pet-friendly outdoor seating, so bring your dog out for a night of fun." - Mary Beth Abate
