Who Makes Half Moon Bay's Best Margarita?

Today is Cinco de Mayo, which originated with Mexican-American communities in the American West as a way to commemorate the cause of freedom and democracy during the first years of the American Civil War. The date is also observed in the United States as a celebration of Mexican heritage and pride.

To celebrate there is no shortage of places on the Coast to raise your glass. Tell your neighbors — who makes the best margaritas?

Is it a traditional Mexican spot like Spanishtown? The friendly bartenders at Half Moon Bay Brewing Company or Old Princeton Landing? Or perhaps it's Sam's or La Costanera or somewhere out of the ordinary?
