When you go to get Mexican, do you decide the restaurant based on the food or the margaritas? We're gonna take a wild guess and say margaritas usually win. Much like duct tape, a good margarita fixes everything. Through great sacrifice and arduous testing (hey, somebody’s got to do it), we carefully assembled this list of the best in OP. Enjoy!

The food and drinks are neck and neck at K-Machos. Portions are large, and the drinks are strong, and the dining room is always full. Maybe it’s the site of tortillas being made fresh before your eyes or their amazing fresh green salsa, but K-machos puts you in the mood to enjoy that drink.
Mi Ranchito has two locations in Overland Park. One in Downtown and one out South at 151st St. Overland Parkers sing the praises of the great service and top-quality margaritas. The house margaritas are the favorite and are served in big portions at an affordable price.
Tortilla Ranch is a fast-casual Mexican restaurant and a favorite in town. Their margaritas are sweet, and they are only $2.50 (yes, seriously) during happy hour—a win in my book. Often compared as a locally-owned alternative to Chipotle, they have fresh and delicious food, are family-friendly, and have amazing specials. They even let kids eat free on Saturdays.
Jalapenos’s margaritas pack a punch. They’re strong and smooth and well worth your time. Jalapenos has great food and even has American favorites like burgers and wings on their menu if you can’t get everyone in your family to agree on Mexican. Pro-tip, if you like serious spice, be sure to ask for the 4-alarm sauce.
If you like margaritas and getting caught in the sun, then Coco Bolos is the spot that you’ve looked for; you can go there to escape. Okay, okay, I realize it’s not piña colada’s we’re focused on here, but Coco Bolos outdoor patio is worth singing about. It’s all about the atmosphere here, vibrant and right in the middle of the Prairiefire district’s action. The margaritas are not extremely strong and are really tasty, so you don’t have to worry too much about overdoing it.
What started as a taco stand at the Overland Park Farmers' Market is now a full market, taqueria, and endless margaritas in Downtown OP! Taco Naco has everything you love about street tacos but we all know it's all about the margaritas. The margaritas are lined with a spicy salt and are perfection.
Think Chipotle but with more options. La Fuente Mexican Street Food offers tacos, burritos, salads, tortas, and, of course, margaritas.This family-owned restaurant in central Overland Park is so popular, it has expanded to more locations in Kansas City. But the margaritas in Overland Park just seem to hit the spot.
Torchy's Tacos hails from Austin, Texas but each Torchy's location has its own unique and different design. Their claim to fame is to deliver the tastiest tacos, queso, and margaritas. They ain't lying.
