Excluded from this index
bounds means the price fell outside what this item can plausibly cost — usually a plate price landing in a per-item index. fence means it sat far outside the range every other venue occupies. If a venue below looks like it belongs, the bound is wrong, not the bar.
| El Rey Tolteca | Frozen Margaritas | bounds | $1.99 |
| Ottoman Taverna | Margarita | bounds | $25 |
| Alexandria Bier Garden | House Margaritas | bounds | $2.99 |
