This family-owned business has been holding down the fort across from the Arlington Theatre since the 1980s, and they’re not about to give the competition any more information than needed about how they take the big honors for constructing this fabled libation in a town where everybody thinks they know the best recipe. Carlos Lopes, whose parents opened the place, said he’d have to shoot us if he told the recipe, but mentioned it is important to use gold tequila. “This is a margarita destination and we’re very proud. It’s awesome that people vote for us,” he said.
