| - Go to Julio's Barrio because you want to sit in the sunshine on a gorgeous roof top patio in Kensington that overlooks the river and drink a variety of 3 ounce margaritas in a giant plastic goblet with a full beer dumped upside down on them. They call them "Bulldogs" and they are lovely. If this is what you're looking for, as I often am, you'll have a fantastic experience.
Whenever I'm summertime bar-hopping in Kensington, a bulldog at Julio's is always a part of the process. I enjoy the colourful and kitsch Mexican decor and I always get great, friendly service.
On the restaurant side of things, I've eaten here a good number of times over the years and I've never really been too impressed with the food. I'm willing to overlook authenticity and I have a special place in my heart for americanized cheesy, sour-creamy mexican, but I always wind up feeling like I've paid too much for what it was. If you're looking for a lot of food and a little less concerned about the quality, Julio's might be for you. Personally, I just like to come here to get sloshed in the sunshine.
No, it's not authentic, but yes it can be a great deal of fun.
