(NEXSTAR) – Jimmy Buffett’s bucket list just got a whole lot longer.
In honor of National Margarita Day, Yelp has attempted to determine the best places for a margarita in each and every state. The results include some of the top-rated restaurants, bars and taquerias from coast to coast, all of which earned high marks for their service, their cuisine, and of course their margs.
It’s worth noting, however, that Yelp’s results are based on the ratings and reviews of the restaurants or bars that serve the margaritas, and not necessarily the margaritas themselves. That said, the analysts at Yelp attempted to seek out businesses that appeared to be well-liked for their margaritas, specifically.
“We identified businesses in the food, restaurant and nightlife categories on Yelp with a large concentration of reviews mentioning ‘margaritas’ [and] then ranked those spots using a number of factors, including the total volume and ratings of reviews mentioning ‘margaritas’ between the date range of January 1st, 2020 to January 6th, 2022,” Yelp explained in a blog post.
