Foody Review: ME & JULIO

The other night Michelle and I decided to try the new local Mexican place on Commercial Drive. It's called ME & JULIO: MODERN MEXICAN KITCHEN & CANTINA (the sister restaurant to Downtown's LOLITA'S) and let me tell you it was great.

Well decorated, funky, a wall of tequila and quite the unique/tasty menu, that sums it up for me. We started with a Lime Margarita and a Mai Tai (both were tasty), we then had two appetizers, the ceviche (3 mounds of citrusy fresh fish - mainly awesome scallops) and the Guacamole (a heaping bowl that also came with star-anise touched Black Bean dip & Chips). Then for the main course we had the Calamare Salad (with squid, chorizo & olives - to die for) and the extremely rich yet extremely tasty Vegetarian Enchilada (wow).

Needless to say, the grub was fantastic, the prices were reasonable and we will definitely be going back for a return meal as well as brunch (their Brunch menu looks fantastic). ME & JULIO opened in October and the website just went live, it will be updated more soon (hopefully with a menu) but you can check out the site HERE and give the food a try, it's well worth it.

Unique Mexican fare with some classic Mexican taste!
