    Relaxed if somewhat loud atmosphere with very friendly and prompt service. Excellent margaritas.

    The ambience and the food was absolutely delicious and filling. I was a little greedy and ordered two sets of tacos, but the first set was filling enough. My boyfriend got the burrito and was hardly able to finish the other half of it. Also, the drinks were amazing! Definitely a nice spot to get a little lunch with one or two people to catch up.

    It's not that Lulu's was bad, it wasn't. It 's just that there are other places in the neighborhood that serve the same food and drinks that are better. The tacos for dinner were on the small side, with only 2 small tacos, but the coconut curry shrimp tacos were tasty. The nacho appetizer was large, as were the burritos. The rice bowl was good too. No complaints there. Drinks were good, but service was so-so. It took a bit of time to get the drinks after ordering, and the check took even longer to arrive after asking for it.

    It was a girls night out and we had a great dinner there. All of our meals were fantastic. The bar was a little slow because it was the tail end of happy hour but the food came quick enough. Definitely a good place to go and have a drink and a bite to eat.

    Food was fine, nothing to write home about but not bad. Service is terrible!!! Maybe they are understaffed but it was super sloooooow. We ordered pretty quickly but the food never came. And neither came the seltzer water we ordered. We had to ask for the seltzer water and the guacamole appetizer 3 times and we never got the seltzer. The guac was tiny!!! The tacos were decent and on Tuesday it's 3 tacos for $3. After having waited almost 1.5 hours for 6 tacos, a $10 Guacamole that was the size of a lemon, and a seltzer water that never came we were ready to go but sure enough we had to ask for the check 3 times... And guess what? The check had the seltzer water on it!

    There are a lot better taco joints than this nearby. They may not have the polished facade you get at LuLu's, but they're cheaper, and the food will be better and more authentic.

    Went after work on a Wednesday. Get there by 6 as it starts to fill up fast during happy hour. Food and drinks were good as was the service. Would go back.

    The vibe and ambiance are fun and festive. Drinks were not good, shows the difference a good mixologist makes. Service is well meaning and cheerful but very disorganized. Deafening level of sound at some points. Food has some high points, including various tacos.

    Definitely cuter on the outside than it really is on the inside. Food was alright, service was extremely slow. For being a tequila spot, the margaritas were sub par. But for free chips and salsa and being two blocks from my apartment, I'm sure I'll (reluctantly) be back.
