This Hollywood hot spot, noted for its lively outdoor patio, its live bands and its congenial clientele whips up frozen margaritas until long after the sun sets in the West. The best of the house? Arguably, it's the ultimate margarita, made with Casa Noble Reposita, a unique blend of fruit and organic agave nectar. Delicious, as are all the other options on a special carte. If you can't decide, ask for the El Guapo classic and you won't go wrong when craving this awesome alcoholic that looks like blended ice slush.
Casita del Campo

Los Angeles, CA 90027

For a most refreshing alcoholic drink on a hot summer day, ask for the frozen cranberry margarita to wash down the homemade guacamole and hand cut chips on offer at this neighborhood joint that always seems to be jumping. At Casitas, happy hour portions are huge, the regulars who hang out at or near the bar are congenial and the margarita possibilities are endless.
El Coyote Mexican Cafe

Meet at iconic El Coyote, operating in Hollywood since 1931, for Margarita Mondays to slip on delicious variations on the frozen margarita theme all day long. Consider the blended fruit margarita made with your choice of banana, pear, pea ch, strawberries or melon. Another great pick: The Cadillac margarita, with sauna Gold and Grand Marnier blended with sweet and sour. Talk about a great kick.
El Condor
3701 Sunset Blvd.
Los Angeles, CA 90026
(323) 660-4500

As the former home to Silver Lake neighborhood favorite El Conquistidor (which closed on a sad note in 2014), El Condor lives up to its prior reputation. Now the regular customers are back for more authentic Mexican fare including tried-and-true refreshments that can't be beat. The best on the list are the frozen margaritas, particularly the amor y Chile, made with Silver Tequila, Chile, ginger, mescal, fresh lime juice, cointreau and creme de cacao.
Minibar
6141 Franklin Ave.
Los Angeles, CA 90028
(323) 798-4939

Fresh margarita concoctions keep coming all year round at this Hollywood hangout hidden in the modest Best Western Plus Hollywood Hills Hotel, so don't be shy when it comes to trying the tequila drink du jour on any given date. This small gem that's nostalgic and yet surprisingly chic is especially exciting on Monday nights, when all margaritas cost $6. That said, the only limit to your particular blended iteration is the imagination of a collaborative effort between you and your own personal bartender.
