Blue Goose $3 margs lead National Margarita Day deals; and when’s Hurtado BBQ opening?

Blue Goose $3 deals lead National Margarita Day

Hey, Bud! Who’s got a special for National Margarita Day?

—Getting started early

▪ Dallas-based Blue Goose Cantina has the best price on Feb. 22: $3 for frozen or rocks margaritas, or for a side of queso. There’s also a new cranberry-champagne margarita.

Blue Goose has locations in Fort Worth, Grand Prairie and Grapevine.

▪ None other than the Dallas-based On The Border Mexican Grill chain is promoting a new ghost-pepper-infused agave margarita, along with margarita flights. House margaritas are $4 on Feb. 22.

▪ Torchy’s Tacos is discounting margaritas by $2 Feb. 21-23. The taco of the month is a fried-chicken tender/fried egg/churro combo with bacon-bourbon marmalade.

▪ Taco Cabana’s special this year is a Big Red margarita, along with new fish tacos.

Most restaurants have some sort of special flavor (but maybe not a special price).
