It’s no secret that there are a lot of great places to get delicious Mexican food in Topeka. Everyone has a favorite spot to enjoy an order of chips and salsa, fish tacos or spicy enchiladas, topped off by a salt-rimmed, tequila-infused drink of deliciousness commonly known as a margarita.

There is no shortage of weekly margarita specials in Top City, either. Blended, on the rocks, classic lime or electric blue – the choices abound for anyone who likes to enjoy a cocktail or four without breaking the bank. In fact, one of the most frequent questions received at Splash! headquarters is where to find a cheap margarita on any given night.

Dear readers – we are here to serve. We scoured the city looking for cheap margarita deals and compiled a list of specials for less than a dollar. When the surveying was done, we found that 99-cent margaritas are offered at four or more local eateries five nights a week, with a curious dry spell on Fridays and Sundays.

Following is our comprehensive guide to cheap margarita specials. We know you’ve been waiting for it, so print it out, fold it into your wallet, tuck it in your desk drawer at work or tape it to your refrigerator. If you’re one of those environmental types, memorize it (or maybe just bookmark it with your browser). Do what you need to do – just don’t forget to take advantage of these great specials.
