Chicago's Best Margaritas: Nine Top Tequila Joints In Town

Sure, the past day or two has given us a bit of a reprieve, but so far this has turned out to be one of the hottest Chicago summers in recent memory.

Fortunately, recent scientific findings indicate that the most effective way to reduce body temperature in the summertime is a delicious margarita. (Note: preceding statement is entirely false.)

There's an incredibly wide variety of tequila joints across our fair city, from the Loop to Edison Park and everywhere in between. Huffington Post Chicago has picked out nine of the best restaurants in the city to grab a margarita.

Which places did we overlook? What did we put on that shouldn't be there? Go through the slideshow, and then scroll down and tell us your opinion in the comments section.

Zocalo's menu is mind-bogglingly deep in each of the four types of tequila (añejo, reposado, blanco and mescal for the novices out there). And their margarita list is excitingly diverse, too, including the new "Cabana Guava Margarita" made with cachaça in place of tequila.

I nominate Fat Willy's here Chicago. They make their "Hogarita" that is absolutely incredible and is made w/ pink grapefruit juice. Very tasty
