Top of the Town 2011

It’s rare to find a balance between watered down and lip-puckeringly tart when ordering a margarita in Denver (we’ve conducted extensive postwork research on the subject). But at this year-old authentic Mexican spot on South Broadway, sour mix is nowhere to be found—only fresh squeezed lime juice shaken with your choice of more than 200 tequilas, served coin-style on the rocks. Pure and simple, just how a margarita should be. 101 S. Broadway, 303-954-0324, www.eldiablorestaurant.com
