What’s a Mexican meal consisting of a burrito and a side of beans and rice like without a margarita? Carlinville will soon find out because, March 1, City Council chose not to extend a Class A liquor license to the local eatery on North Broad Street.

Saul Quiroz, who owns Sol de Mexico, thought he obtained the proper license from city officials when he inquired about opening his restaurant in 2007. But Quiroz was given a Class E license, which only permits the sale of beverages having an alcoholic content of 6 percent or less. “I guess I misunderstood, and no one pointed out I was in the wrong,” he told the council March 1.”
