I live very close to Julie's Cuban, so people always ask me if I'm a regular there, and I have to tell them no. I am not a regular at Julie's because you pay way too much for what you get. The food and the drinks are good but it's all overpriced.
Pluses: The patio. On a nice summer evening, the patio is a relaxing escape from the madness of downtown. It's in the front on tree-lined Dovercourt, and there can be a lot of traffic, but the patio is still relaxing.
The corn fritters are delicious. If you do go, they are a must get.
Minuses: Prices. They charge way too much for a drink you can finish in a gulp, and for bite-sized portions of food.
If someone is having a birthday and wants to go, I won't complain. Julie's serves good Cuban food and drink, I just wish they would charge more reasonable prices. So even though I live nearby, I don't go very often.
