Fortaleza
4.5
(15)
"It made me feel great to be able to put out an assortment of Fortaleza today. Blanco, Repo, and still strength."
"If you want a great Blanco Tequila for around $50.00 - I'd go with either Fortaleza or El Tesoro"
"Fortaleza Blanco is a great choice that goes for around $40 here. High quality spirit and very approachable."
"IMO, Fortaleza is the best choice if you’re relatively new to tequila... it’s easy to taste why it’s such a quality product."
"Fortaleza is the best choice if you’re relatively new to tequila... it’s easy to taste why it’s such a quality product."
"Siete Leguas, Fortaleza are great, and sometimes under $50"
"Some favorites, in no particular order: Fortaleza (still strength if you can find it), Siembra Valles, Gran Agave."
"Fortaleza could be a good one since demand is high (if it’s even available there)."
"Fortaleza Still Strength, Cazcanes 9 or Fuenteseca 2018"
"I just bought Fortaleza Blanco for $39.99!"
#2
Olmeca Altos
4.3
(11)
"I also would recommend Olmeca Altos for that price range."
"Olmeca Altos gets my vote."
"I think Olmeca Altos is the most pure and likely best tasting you're gonna get for under $25."
"Olmeca Altos"
"Teremana, olmeco altos, tres agaves, espolon, and cenote should all be in the 30-40 range and are solid"
"Olmeca altos or Espolon are relatively inexpensive, widely available, & great mixers."
"I like Olmeca Altos as my everyday."
"It's probably the cheapest I'd go for tequila."
"My vote would be Olmeca Altos or Tapatio. Tapatio comes in 1L bottles, so remember to factor that in when figuring out cost."
"Altos blanco is a solid option."
#3
Ocho
4.3
(9)
"Ocho, tapatio, arette, don julio"
"If you like Tapatio, definitely check out Ocho’s and Viva Mexico’s Reposados."
"Ocho for neat."
"Grab 3 bottles of Ocho."
"I also use Ocho plata and fortaleza blanco."
"Ocho blanco"
"Thanks for your input! I’ve been curious about ocho’s aged expressions."
"Tequila ocho, Fortaleza (It’s $50 where I live), siete lleguas. All great."
"Other recommendations are G4, Ocho, Siete Leguas, Gran Dovejo, and Fortaleza"
#4
Tapatio
4.8
(8)
"There’s lots of really good blanco options under $50 for me - Tapatio, Ocho, el Tesoro, Lalo, & G4 just for starters."
"I'd go with Tapatio. Exquisitely well made and relatively cheap by volume (1 liter bottles). It is my house well for a reason."
"Tapatio, El Tesoro, and Ocho are all three exquisitely well made tequilas."
"If you can get Tapatio or Cimarron for a good price they are even better and both come in 1L bottles!"
"I just got a bottle of Tapatio Blanco at Old Town Tequila. $34. Like someone else mentioned, it’s a liter bottle. It’s the “budget” brand from La Alteña but don’t let that fool you. It’s an excellent tequila."
"Tapatio Blanco. 1 liter bottle of the finest made highlands tequila around."
"Tapatio"
"We get tapatio in Sweden for a fair enough price. It's the best bang for your buck option but you have to order it online."
#5
Siete Leguas
4.5
(8)
"Finally bought this as a present to myself for passing a kidney stone… absolutely worth it (the price, not the stone). So fucking good. Knocks Fortaleza lote 100 off my fav list, and is way better than Criollo in my opinion."
"For $160 Siete Leguas Decadas or Fuentaseca Coseca would be my top two"
"Siete Leguas, Fortaleza are great, and sometimes under $50"
"I'd recommend Siete Leguas. The bottles I have taste like toasted marshmallow."
"Siete Leguas Decades (if you can still find it), Siempre Vivo, and Cazcanes No. 10 come to mind."
"Decadas is a solid option in that range and I’ve seen a lot around recently."
"Siete Leguas Decadas (if you can find it). Or just 3 bottles of Siete leguas blanco."
"Around here, Siete Leguas is a good choice... can be had at a few spots from $40-$50."
#6
Cimarron
4.1
(8)
"Cimarron is the universal cocktail bar well tequila."
"Pick the best cheap tequila you can. Cimarron, Altos, Arette would be my top 3 choices."
"Cimmaron is my go to."
"Cimarron would be my pick because it is a delicious additive free tequila."
"Cimmaron"
"I might go for either Cimarron (€20), Espolon (€24) or Arette (€28)."
"Cimarron, espolon, olmeca altos."
"Seconding both Cimarron and Tapatio."
#7
Fuenteseca
4.7
(6)
"Fuenteseca is the best blanco tequila I’ve ever had and I’ve ran beverage programs for 14 years. 👍🏼 It’s a tremendous choice."
"I really think you should just splurge on the fuenteseca. To me it is a great gift as mid tier bottles are easy to jump on, a $+100 blanco, not so much."
"Fuenteseca 2018 if you can find it"
"Fuenteseca 2018"
"Fuenteseca or Cierto."
"Fuenteseca"
#8
Cazcanes
4.2
(6)
"Cazcanes is a really excellent blanco."
"Cazcanes or fortaleza still strength (after market price)."
"Cazcanes for sure"
"Cazcanes"
"I agree on Cazcanes if it is one bottle."
"If its only one bottle and you must get close to that budget I'd say any of the Cazcanes."
#9
El Tesoro
4.2
(6)
"El Tesoro is also another solid pick."
"I tried El Tesoro the other day (could only find 1 bottle in all of Austin) it’s smooth even though it’s additive free. Definitely doesn’t give a hangover."
"The only good juice I can get in my market right now is el tesoro"
"El Tesoro Blanco for $43 just this weekend."
"El Tesoro."
"El Tesoro is a great Blanco, not sure how it holds in a Marg."
#10
Espolon
3.7
(6)
"Espolon is my favorite."
"Good bargain blancos"
"Espolon Blanco"
"I'll put in a vote for espolon. Great blanco for the cost, straight or mixed."
"Espolon or lunazul are my go to recommendation."
"Espolon is just blechhhh."
#11
Arette
4.4
(5)
"Arette is excellent for the price if you can find it"
"My absolute fav affordable Blanco is Arette. To me nothing at it's price point comes close."
"Arette ($30), Lalo ($40), Ocho ($50)"
"Arette blanco and Reposado are excellent mixing tequilas...."
"These are good recs, I’ll tack on Arette and Cimarron."
#12
Lalo
4.5
(4)
"Lalo is amazing but it's around $40-45 if you're willing."
"LALO is my pick."
"I like to go with Lalo or arrette."

#13
G4
4.5
(4)
"G4 108 proof, Siete leguas, and el Tesoro are my go to blancos right now"
"Recently got a G4 108, and for me personally, it's better."
"I personally would have gone with G4 for the Blanco. I find G4 solid, but not nearly as complex as Fortaleza"
"Personally I would do the G4 blanco instead"
#14

(4)
"I really enjoy Don Julio Blanco margaritas."
