| - This place sucks money out of your wallet faster than speedy Gonzales.
I'm going to put it bluntly: I come here for their Bulldogs. I like the novelty of an upside down beer plopped right in the middle of a girly drink. I like that it's more alcoholic than Lindsay Lohan's breath. I like that they make many varieties of this beverage.
If you've got $25 - $50 to spend on a few drinks, Julio's will please your little sombrero-wearing butt just fine. Service is usually pretty attentive, depending on when you go - so no complaints.
But the rent must be ASTRONOMICAL for them to be charging this much for average-at-best tex mex.
Steak fajitas ring in at roughly one arm and one leg, while anything else will only cost you a few appendages. A lovely lady and I sat down for dinner. I was planning on popping out a pair of earrings I bought her at Tiffany's, but when I saw the bill I realized I'd need to take out a second mortgage just to pay for my meal, so I shipped those little buggers right back.
Seriously though: two meals, a few drinks, and BOOM - $85. I'm no cheapskate, but if I'm paying $85 for Mexican it better be served to me by a man playing Spanish Guitar, and a hand-woven poncho better be my bib.
I mean, I've eaten out of food trucks in Mexico that made more compelling and authentic food. That's not to say the food is BAD, it just isn't worth what you fork out for it.
I can't give this place anything better than an "OK". Will I come back here again? Probably, when someone else wants to tip back a giant fishbowl of liquor.
But until then, I just can't afford it.
