what's your vote? based on taste, effect, place, and price? :saint:

soleil - 1-2-2007 at 01:02 PM

hmmm... does this mean there aren't great margaritas in La Paz? :(

bancoduo - 1-2-2007 at 01:33 PM

Why would you ask a question like that on a Mormon forum?:rolleyes:

Summanus - 1-2-2007 at 01:42 PM

Just kidding, soleil. Try this older thread, it might help. There really are a great many good places to have a nice margarita in La Paz. I would suggest a sidewalk or waterfront table along the malecon..just for the views. Salud!

very funny, senior nomads! with all the talk of recycling the beer bottles in for new beers, I had a hard time believing you :) ok, once again, malecon looks like where its at. Nothing better than killing one afternoon with a nice margarita buzz!

thanks for the link- I'm having trouble when I try to run a search - I don't seem to get much info. what's the trick?

the 'search' function..

Summanus - 1-2-2007 at 02:31 PM

Maybe you could use a more general approach? Type in La Paz restaurants, La Paz margaritas, La Paz at night, etc.

Personally, I have found that drinking margaritas make my knees hurt. So...I favor beer...and to find the best bet for beer (cerveza) in La Paz, I did my own 'search'.

My advice is ....attend Mass often.

OMG! No, I won't be practicing Catholicism... or Mormonism... or anthing similar while in La Paz. Just plain Hedonism for me! A simple cure the knees hurting - just DON'T GET UP!

My vote is for the "Margarita Capri". It's really a lot of fluff with only a bit of alcohol, but it's 1 1/2 liters for 9 bucks. Plus the restaurant Capri is right on the malecon and the ambiance is fantastic!

Best Margaritas anywhere are the one's someone else is buying for you!

soleil - 1-2-2007 at 09:51 PM

how about self-serve? is there a local grocery to buy tequila and some sour mix?

jerry - 1-2-2007 at 10:22 PM

sure just get in any $20.00 taxie and he will show you the town depending on your tasts might cost ya more??
serously get a jug fix one goodn at where ever your at then head down quickly to the place of your choice and order what ever tickles your fancy
a word to the wise injoy that buzz when its there all the chasing it in the world will only give you a bad next day

night all

soleil - 1-2-2007 at 10:31 PM

that last one was a little confusing to me ? have you been mixing your own margaritas tonight Jerry? :P

jerry - 1-2-2007 at 10:37 PM

yup i must admitt it im buzzed but dont worry i wont chas it and if your confused by me you should be a lot of fun in baja

If you have room in your luggage just pack your blender. At the hotel ask where the closest store is and walk there. Buy all the stuff and make your own margies. Las Gaviotas has a nice pool.Sit out there with your friends and relax. They will be stronger and cheaper than anything you find in town
Plus it will be a lot easier to get home.
There are many bars along the malecon. Start at Carlos and Charlies and work your way down. Try a margie at each bar and report back in when your done.
Good Luck!

Ok...jus' my 2 cents...best margarita I've EVER had anywhere was/is in Mulege. It's in town. I never remember the name though (maybe one too many Margies?). It's Las palmas or something. Where the old guy walks up and down the street. Anyone know who he is by the way? He seems somewhat of an iconic figure there as I've seen him in pictures alot.

Adolfo of Mulege

Summanus - 1-3-2007 at 12:34 PM

Adolfo is a regular of the town square. Reputed to be as old as Methuselah...but at least 90 for sure. Used to be quite the man about town and a real lady-killer. Played guitar and sang at the Hacienda inside bar 20 years ago when a young man in his 70's.

Interesting. You could tell he's not your average guy...thanks fer that tid bit Summanus. So what's the name of that little hotel/ bar just down the street from where Adolpho is on your pic. I swear I've never had such good margaritas as there?

Summanus - 1-3-2007 at 07:15 PM

pargo, there are many bars within 100 meters of that spot..:tumble:..let's see now......El Candil, Pelican Reef, ..hic..Hacienda Hotel bar...burp... Las Casitas..gasp....must be Xavier's Las Casitas that you are thinking about when having the recall of the truly great margarita.

Is it closing time already?

pargo - 1-4-2007 at 12:13 PM

Nuff guessin' Hacienda and Las casitsas ring probable. Next time I go (now that you've got me all thirsty) i'll let you guys know the name;D

Adolfo was a young man in the 70's? I was a young man in the 70's! I've got to get my mirror fixed!:lol:

OK, just got back. Definitely home made marg's were the best. Tequila and fresh limes were cheap at the market. Kiwi's had some fairly good margaritas. Buffalo were very good tasting (all fresh limes).
