Today they are happy to announce the winner of this 2021 Mariachis and Margaritas contest: Verde Contemporary Mexican in Bettendorf is the winner.

Jennie’s Box Car in East Moline, IL and Restaurante El Mariachi in Moline were 2nd and 3rd place respectively.
It was a very close finish as only 25 votes made the difference between 1st and 3rd place.
The purpose of this friendly contest was to market and highlight area establishments, while encouraging patrons to visit and to raise funds for local scholarships.
Ms. Calderon was very thankful to all the businesses that participated in the contest.
“Thank you to all of our restaurants who participated in this year’s Mariachis and Margaritas contest. Thank you to Jennie’s Boxcar, El Mariachi Restaurante, El Patron Express, Raw, Verde, and El Patron Restaurant and Bar.
