Answer:
Welcome to the world of tequila, you will enjoy it very much as long as you make the right decisions. You mention Patron, which is a good starting point of 100% blue agave tequila, just like 1800 they are commercial, mass-produced, industrial quality tequila.
If you want to go higher you should try more of a boutique tequila which is hand made, my two favorites are TESORO and CASA NOBLE, these are tequilas with a lot of tradition, family owned distilleries and made the old fashion way. Both of them are great tasting with a great number of aromas and wonderful taste. Of these two I would say Casa Noble is the best because of its consistency from one bottle to the next but both are excellent Tequilas.
If you are going to drink tequila why not start with the best…
So you get an idea of Casa Noble
Casa Noble ultra premium tequilas begin as carefully selected individual 10 year old plants of Blue Agave. Each one must meet the strict requirements for water and sugar content. We slow-cook them for 38 hours in stone ovens.
Then, using only the core and hearts of the agaves, we extract their robust juice. The fermentation process is 100% natural, followed by a triple distillation. The result is a tequila so pure and full of agave flavor that it has elevated the concept of tequila to new levels around the world.

A great place to learn about tequila is www.inachadwick.com , it has all the information on tequila that anyone would want to find. It also has a very active forum with a lot of aficionados that can answer any questions you might have.
This site offers a comprehensive look at the Mexican drink called tequila - with individual sections (pages) on tequila's production, history, lore, culture, and more. Just click on the links above to read about some of the myths and legends surrounding tequila; the tequila industry, or to peer into the Mexican home of the spirit: Jalisco state. Along the way you will read personal notes, news, trivia, and production data. I also look at tequila's sister drink, mezcal, as well as its ancestor, pulque, with some asides on other regional Mexican drinks like bacanora and sotol. There are copious references and links to my sources, including links to recipes, drink mixes, margaritas, industry sites, and other tequila fans.

PATRON IS THE ONLY ONE
Cuervo gold isn't a bad choice. Patrone is excellent for shooting, but stay away from bar tequila unless you are havinf it in a mixed drink (one tequila, 2 tequila 3 tequila floor!)
Cuervo 1800
Both Cuervo and Sauza are just fine and after the second shot you will not notice the difference. If you are concerned about hangover, just make sure you have some water during the day. And when you get up the morning after, take a BC Powder. You''ll be just fine after 30 minutes and you'll want breakfast.
I Cr 13;8a
Tres Generation is very good and for $35 a bottle is a steal, tastes very similar to patron.
Look for 100% blue agave. My personal favorite is 1800 Repasado. It's still pricey, but not as high as the Patron. We can get the monster bottle (1.75 Liters I think.) for about $48, which is enough good tequila to get six to eight people pretty darn hammered, depending on tolerance levels. The smaller bottle runs about mid thirties around here, but prices vary alot from place to place. Have fun!
If you like Patron silver you will like 1800 silver, about $15 cheaper and still 100% agave. For my money Sauza Hornitos is the best buy for 100% agave reposado.
To go even cheaper try Casco Viejo, Sauza Cien (100) Anos, or if you really can't spend a lot go with Sauza Silver. As far as mixtos go sauza is good...at a low price all "gold" tequilas are simply silver with caramel color added, no actual barrel aging. If you like oak tastes (i.e. vanilla, toast, cognac like hints) then Reposados are 3-9 months barrel aged and Anejos are generaly in the barrel for over a year.
For hangover reduction go for a silver 100% agave and do not mix with other drinks.
BTW 1800 is not Cuervo, they sold it years ago to Skyy Spirits LLC.
Cheers!

"one of the owners of my culinary school also owns an agave (the plant that tequila comes from) field in mexico and he gave us a general rule of thumb on tequilas that i have always followed and LIVE by since i am a very very big tequila drinker...don't drink any yellow tequila. real tequila is NOT yellow and whatever is added to it is only added to help stretch the agave since it is expensive."
As informed as her culinary teacher may be, this is not true. As I said earlier, cheaper tequila's marked "gold" or "oro" add caramel color for color and for a caramel taste that somewhat similates wood barrel...that much is true...but reposados and anejo's (and brandy, whiskey, some ru, etc for that matter) get their color from oak barrels. This is not cheap as barrels are expensive and you have to wait months to years to release your product and evaporation takes its toll (colorfully called the "angel's share") Perhaps the teacher does not choose to age his spirit.
Wood adds a distinct taste that many like straight or to sip from a snifter. Some mix, myself I only mix silver tequilas.
I could name a 100 great tequila's to recommend, but not in keeping with Caity's question...as all would be around the price of patron or more, some much more.
anything thats 100% blue agaba or Jose Quervo Gold

well, when ur talkin tequila, nothin's better than patron...life is 2 short 2 drink crappy liquor...unfortunately, that means ur gonna pay...grey goose vodka, tanqueray gin, hypnotiq, remy red, canadian club...try some shots 2; they're less expensive than drinks and u get a lotta bang 4 ur buck...the ones that contain jagermeister will get u where u wanna b right quick like...oh, yea, try a jager bomb, which is jager and red bull...
Patron's great, and 1800 isn't bad either. But, for some reason, I really really like Cabo Wabo.
Quality will vary depending on age--reposado, a?ejo, or silver are the basic categories (from oldest to youngest in that list).
mmmm... tequila.
if you can find it try cabo wabo it is very smooth.
CASA NOBLE TEQUILA!!!
Try Cabo Wabo! Its the best! It also costs more money but it is so worth it!!!
Hi, Patron is an excellent and respected brand. However, in my opinion it is grossly overpriced for the value. In general when you buy Tequila, make sure it says "100% de agave" on it- otherwise it is not real tequila (such as Jose Cuervo Gold or Especial). These are actually only 51% true tequila (made from the agave plant) and the rest is usually fermented brown sugar.
Also there are three basic categories- silver/blanco (non aged), reposado (aged up to 6 months), and anejo (aged 1 year or more). The more aged, the more expensive ... blancos are more of the natural agave flavor and have a lot of "bite," Reposados have a spicy flavor to them, and anejos are the "smooth" spirits. They all have their own charms.
In general Tequila is very expensive compared to some other spirits ... in my opinion the best VALUE for your money is Sauza Hornitos Reposado- usually about $25 for a 750 ml. Milagro is also an excellent brand and usually modestly priced (their Anejo is as good as Patron's in my opinion at about half the price). If price is no option, I would go with Don Julio Anejo (still cheaper than Patron, but better)- usually about $45-$50, or Sauza Tres Generaciones Anejo (similar price, less sweet than DJ).
Well good luck and remember to drink responsively :)

Cabo Wabo is good tequila. You can get it in (I think three) different qualities. Clear bottle-cheapest, Blue bottle-middle, and Gold bottle-best. What ever you decide, Go with a blue agave tequila. They are the best.
