Another vote for Don Julio for just everyday sipping..
A good 'cheap' tequila is Piedra Azul Reposado, which
has well-balanced vanilla and caramel flavors, and a 'best buy' at about $18 a bottle.

$50 is a little high for me. I'm usually around $30. Espolon and Kirkland are both good in that price range.

No thanks. I'd rather use my taste buds.

In no specific order:
Espolon Blanco
Gran Centenario Anjeo (my usual go-to brand)
Reserva Del Dueno (but not available any more)
Patron Anjeo
Kirkland
Milagro Silver
And I just drank a bottle of Siete Leguas Blanco (but my son bought if for me, so I don't know how much it cost)

a couple folks mentioned kirkland tequila, i've never tried it but im sure its a fine tequila. I just found this review comical!
Presentation: As you would expect, Kirkland Signature brand Tequila comes in a monolithic glass structure. When full, it weighs roughly fifteen
pounds. The glass is incredibly thick, which results in some wonky weight distribution. This makes pouring out of the needlessly massive spout
difficult, especially if you like to drink out of normal-sized things. The decal on the bottle is what we can only assume to be an agave plant, but
looks more like an upside-down octopus. The best part is that the bottom of the bottle is made of clear blue glass, so if you shine a light underneath
it, the bottle turns a deep blue color. It’s awesome. Price: $18.95 for 1.75 liters History: In 2006, the body of an escaped convict was found
floating in the runoff pool behind Kirkland factory located forty miles south of the Mexican-American border. Once the decomposing corpse was fished
from the clear liquid, a supervisor demanded the pool’s chemical makeup be determined. “It’s tequila. My god, it’s tequila,” he muttered under his
breath a week later, holding the lab report in his hand. “Someone get me Corporate.” The factory runoff was then siphoned into the remains of
Kirkland’s ill-fated attempt to market glass coffins for babies, and sold at Costco locations worldwide. Taste Breakdown: Aroma: Salty dirt. Initial
Taste: Dirty salt. Body: Thick, hearty, and warm. Like a Jersey Shore tide-pool. Finish: Feels like gasoline but tastes like salty dirt. When you
throw it up, it tastes like stomach acid. Compare With: Any other cheap tequila. Effects: Similar drunk to that of a high-gravity forty. Users are
likely to be ejected from a bar for punching out a bathroom mirror. The hangover is an intense headache with lasting nausea and heart palpitations.
Remember to drink plenty of water—the tequila appears to be primarily made out of snow salt interstate runoff, so it is very dehydrating. Who
Should Buy It? - People that only shop at Costco. - People who like to collect dumb bottles. - People who like to buy things that are ridiculous. -
Nobody. Testimonials: “It isn’t really that bad” – Adam, Banker “After a long day at the factory, I like to unwind with a nice cool glass of
Kirkland Signature Tequila. Then I punch my kids.” – John, Factory Worker “A year ago I was at Costco and thought I’d try their Kirkland brand
tequila. When I got home, the bottle accidentally slipped out of my hand and landed on the dog. It snapped her back like a twig. My four-year-old
daughter was watching.” Erin, TV Personality “If it’s cheap, I’ll drink it. I’m not a pussy.” – Bill, student. Goes Great With: Kirkland brand
chocolate chip cookies, Kirkland brand ice cream sandwiches, Kirkland brand signature vodka, Kirkland brand Pizza, Kirkland brand salt. Literally
anything Kirkland makes, which is everything. Doesn’t Go Great With: Tomato soup, laundry detergent, the movie Antz. Conclusion: As someone who
knows nothing about tequila or alcohol in general, we feel qualified to say Kirkland brand Tequila is any Cinco de Mayo party’s worst nightmare.
Unless one of the party activities involves the guests bludgeoning each other to death with indestructible weapons made of glass and cork. In that
case, it is a Cinco de Mayo must-buy. Grade: F+ (the bottle's pretty cool.)

El Jimador Añejo is very smooth, and definitely under $50. One caveat is that it's not 100% Agave, but for me it's a very nice sipping tequila.

That Kirkland stuff is good. My neighbor is a tequila freak and even he says it's good stuff.
I'll go with Patron.
Although I rarely splurge and stick with my good ol' buddy - El Jimador.
If I'm at my mother in laws, then it Cazadores.

El Charro.
Either vintage is great as long as you add some lime juice to the booze.

Was at Hi-Time Wine Cellars in Costa Mesa this weekend. Picked up a bottle of Del Maguey Chichicapa Mezcal. While I was there I noticed that Gran
Ceñtenario Añejo was on sale for $27.99 ($59.99). I also notice that it is about the same at Bevmo currently. In the not too distant past it was going
for $65.00 there. I did not buy any because I have plenty of it but................
I looked for the DJ70 but they did not have any in stock. They get $53.99 for 750ml when they do.

$54 for DJ70 NOB seems better than average. So far for me Fayla in Los Barriles is the best buy at $525 pesos= +-$42, depending on the exchange of
the day.

pesos for 1.5 liters in Cabo San Lucas.
