Who can argue with a place that calls itself the Home of the Killer Margaritas?
Cheers to family-owned Cesar's - 25 years at its original location, at 3166 N. Clark St., and 15 years at 2924 N. Broadway. The only real difference between the two is the layout. Otherwise it's the same menu, same recipes, same ingredients.
