With two locations to serve both the in-town staggerers and the suburban drivers,  Margarita’s serves up the staples of Mexican fare in a festive, if somewhat chintzy, environment. Whether it’s the multi-level approach on Brown Street that can give many diners (especially in groups of about six) something like a private table, or the winding passageways of the St. John Street location, where people have gotten lost moving between the bar and the john, the atmosphere is just right to keep you on your toes and enjoying the spice, salt, bite, and sweetness that is the symphonic joy of Mexican food and drink. You don’t have to wear a sombrero, but just having the option is nice. Margarita’s | 11 Brown St, Portland | 207.774.9398 | 242 St John St, Portland | 207.874.6444 |  www.margs.com
