I did not really find anything there you couldn't get here. Some of the reserve tequila may be worth it....

However get a bottle of the "Controy." It is an orange liquer they use to make margaritas, made in Mexico. It comes in a green bottle that looks a LOT like Cointreau. It only cost $8 but makes a GREAT margarita. I haven't compared it to the french Cointreau, but for the money, it is the best deal south of the border as far as I am concerned. I have never seen it in the US. Most tequila is available here though.....

I still have a bottle of Controy that I bought in Tecate about a year ago. They made all the margarita's there with Tequila, fresh squeezed lime and Controy. Mmmm...

THAT'S the stuff. And they have those special little limes, I have not seen them here. SO GOOD.

That Controy is the best buy in Mexico at ~$8 a bottle. You can buy most tequila here.
