"The gluten-free, paleo-friendly chain Verde Cocina has numerous stores across town, each using Pacific Northwest ingredients to make some stellar Mexican dishes. The colorful, family-friendly restaurants offer a list of agave cocktails, like tequila old fashioneds and bloody marys, but the margaritas, made with a reliable recipe of tequila, agave syrup, lime, and a salt rim, are solidly built with high-quality ingredients." - Alex Frane
