"Free chips, salt rims, and ungodly amounts of tequila—this is why you’re at this Mexican restaurant in the Richmond. Tia Margarita opened in 1963, and continues to serve Mexican comfort staples on platters that are roughly the size of a life preserver. And while your affection for the spreads of carnitas and cheesy beans is directly correlated to the number of margaritas you’ve downed, a night here is always a good time thanks to the big booths, easy-to-split portions, and limitless tortilla refills." - julia chen 1, patrick wong, lani conway
