Worth it, says Antonina. Been? Say if you agree.

If you have a mild margarita obsession, Mad Dog’s Financial District happy hour deals should fit the bill.

What I wrote thereFold it away

If you have a mild margarita obsession, Mad Dog’s Financial District happy hour deals should fit the bill. Despite the cantina’s popularity, the service. The happy hour menu is headlined by the house margarita (on the rocks) and frozen margarita, both under $10.

If you’re not big on margaritas, house wine goes for $7 a glass and select Mexican beers are $6 a pop. As for food, there’s guacamole and hot wings, both $10. Happy hour or not, you’re bound to see 100 ounce margarita towers gracing a few tables, at $120 a pop. These bad boys aren’t for the faint of heart (equivalent to 10 cocktails, they’re available for groups of four or more).
