The odds are stacked against anyone trying to challenge Baja Cantina’s margaritas. There’s a reason they perpetually bring home the gold in the beverage game. Of course they have pure classic flavors, but those are served beside more exotic fruity selections with just the right balance of sweet and tart. Whichever one you choose (or two or three, no judgment), it will have just the right amount of tequila to start your winning streak off right.
