Well today, July 24, is National Tequila Day. La Calle Doce in Oak Cliff is giving out free shots (tastings) and appetizers from 7 to 10 p.m.

Urban Taco is "showcasing" its boutique collection from 6 to 9 p.m. An ambassador will be on hand to answer your highly evolved tequila palate questions from 7 to 9 p.m.

The Hacienda on Henderson will have tequila tastings starting at 7 p.m., and mariachis at 8 p.m., including some food specials throughout the night.

And just as a heads up, Asador in the Renaissance Hotel has a "tequila bar" every day of the year with more than 100 boutique tequilas and a bevy of house-made seasonal margaritas made from fresh juices, herbs and spices. Their tequila bar program is awesome.
