Good margarita in the area? Is there no tequila anymore?

Hi all......my wife and I have become quite disappointed in the margarita quality in the whole Dallas area. We've lived in the area (Dallas, Richardson, Allen) for 35+ years. If I order a margarita....even a basic house margarita...I should taste a hint of tequila, even if it is cheap tequila, but lately it seems like most restaurants are serving the equivalent of 7-11 lime slushies with almost no alcohol. I had a Chuy's Grande margarita a few weeks ago and walked out with zero buzz....nada, nothing. FYI, a Grande is served in 16 oz glass, which should have at least 1.5-2 shots of tequila in it, and you will feel it. I appreciate the flavor of a good margarita, but part of that taste is tequila. Lately, the only place we've gotten a good honest house margarita is Gloria's.
