12 Delicious Deals in Greater Phoenix for National Tequila Day

Just in case you needed a reason to get your drink on this week, there is a holiday upon. Wednesday, July 24, is National Tequila Day, and Valley restaurants ranging from Mexican eateries to Italian joints and beyond know how to celebrate, with some special drinking and dining deals.

So go ahead and down that shot or sip a margarita — you've got every right.

CRUjiente Tacos is offering happy hour specials all day including $5 Premiere CRU Margaritas. There's also the coconut margarita for $9 made with reposado tequila, coconut, house agave syrup, and fresh-squeezed lime. The $9 strawberry habanero margarita has blue agave tequila, fresh strawberries, house agave syrup, and again, that fresh-squeezed lime.

Grimaldi's Italian Margarita is $10.

Grimaldi's Pizzeria

Instead of pairing your tequila with lime and salt, try it with pizza instead. Grimaldi's Italian margarita is $10 and crafted with Maestro Dobel Diamante Tequila, Luxardo Amaretto, fresh lime juice, and Monin cane syrup — all served on the rocks.
