"To our knowledge, Texas Chili Parlor’s Mad Dog Margarita is the only cocktail in the city that’s been immortalized in song, which says a lot about its quality and/or potency. It’s made with mezcal—but not the fancy stuff—which makes it taste a little like college, but in a good, nostalgic way. If you don’t feel like battling a hangover the next morning, you can also get a more classic margarita that we love almost as much. " - nicolai mccrary
