The Best Restaurants In Davis Square

"Margaritas are a divisive drink. Some people think they’re too sweet, some people think they should never be frozen, and some people think that not drinking a margarita outside on a hot day is to essentially give up on life itself. The Painted Burro, a big, loud, and always crowded Mexican place, is a neutral zone where these warring factions can have peace talks over a plate of empanadas. The margaritas here are not only excellent, but come any way you could want them: frozen, tangy with hibiscus, spicy with jalapenos, or with a big slice of watermelon wedged right on the glass. And all these drinks accompany a really good menu of stuff you don’t normally see at neighborhood Mexican spots, like squash enchiladas, short rib tacos, and a chicken milanese torta. You’ll probably need to book in advance here (even the big bar on the side is usually packed) but you’re here to drink margaritas and party - the crowds are part of the fun." - dan secatore
