Me and Julio

Food is good but overpriced. It is not Mexican food. It is American with some ingredients that you find in Mexican food.
Fun atmosphere.
Great for the drinking crowd, particularly when the weather is nice and you can sit outside.
Service is very good.

Hubby likes tacos and we both like the hash. Wonderful offerings for gluten freedom. Very attentive service! Great popcorn, too. Really like when Troublemaker band is playing.

Great Bloody Mary’s, try the bacon infused vodka. Great service thanks to Sheila. Food was good. Fun place overall.

Foods not too bad and their patio as awesome! Good drinks, but they can be a little expensive.

Love Love Love the Blackberry Margarita!!! The tres dips app is also awesome! This place is decorated so classy! I love the light fixtures and the bathrooms!

First off, I didn’t expect to have such amazing food in Hastings, MN, on a road that boasts of farming equipment sales.
I had the Mojo Mango Burrito. Wow, can you say portion overload? Twas amazing! I literally couldn’t get through half of it before having to tap out. I was amazed at the flavors of the mango and the grilled fajita chicken and how well they paired together. I seriously cannot wait until I can have more.
Next was the dessert. As much as I had packed in with the burrito, I couldn’t miss out on having Mexican fried ice cream. I was undone.
Two things I’d like to see improved — the wait time ordering and the quality of the take home containers. We waited awhile before our waitress took our order and frequently I ran out of water. The take home containers also should be sturdier — mine caved in the middle by the time we went back to the hotel room for our bachelorette party.
If these two things are improve, I’d give this place 5 stars easily.

Very good chicken club sandwich! Surprised they allow e cig smokers inside. Should not be allowed!

Food was really good but service was definitely lacking. Ate lunch here during the week with my mom and 6 yr old. We sat outside. Server brought us menus– brought a kid menu with no crayons. Then another server came to the table and brought us our drinks. My daughter politely asked for some crayons and the server said she would get her some. After taking our order, leaving and coming back out, we asked for the crayons again. Dry rub wings were awesome. Server brought us our food and when we asked for extra napkins she brought us 3 more silverware set-​ups. Kind of a waste. Didn’t come back to check how every thing was tasting and didn’t clear our appetizer dishes– a different server did that. I had the Juana burro– very good! Never refilled our water– I had to go to the bar to get more water. She eventually brought our bill but we had to go in to pay because she never came back out. They were not busy– I just don’t understand what the server was doing because she definitely didn’t have time for us.

Blackberry margaritas are amazing. Food is always excellent. Great service & fun atmosphere. Very nice outdoor space — only downside is the chairs at the high top tables outside — you can’t get close enough to the tables to eat properly. Overall — great place!

Today we stopped at me and julios in hastings. We had the best meal ever and a 100% better than yesterday at Las margaritas. Our server Jonathan was the best ever with a great personality.

We stopped here last Cinco De Mayo for our first time. I was pleasantly surprised with the atmosphere. They had a nice patio outside. Food was great — just wish it was a little less bland. The inside of the restaurant was very clean and had a nice atmosphere! Overall, I would stop here again!

We had a great experience at Me and Julio. We wanted to try something new and were pleasantly surprised.
We had a wonderful breakfast! Big fluffy omelette, loaded with ham and cheese. Big fluffy pancakes!
Lots of wonderful Bloody Mary’s to choose from on the menu. We are looking forward to returning for dinner.

Great food, awesome staff and a fun atmosphere. The patio is fun in the summer. Best restaurant in or bear Hastings!

We’ve stopped here for breakfast a couple times now on Sunday and the food and service have both been terrific. The kids love the captain crunch French Toast and my favorite is the pork belly hash.
I’ve been here for dinner before and was impressed with their fajitas as well. Definitely one of the best places to eat in Hastings.

They’re burrito with the adobo sauce is delicious!!! It is also gigantic, got it with the shredded pork and recommend doing that. The basil margarita is very good as well, good experience overall.

Well, I’m on my way
I don’t know where I’m going
But I’m on my way
Paul Simon wrote haikus — who knew? If nothing else about the place, I like the catchy name.
One of my dining companions probably would have gone two and the other four, I am going in between and giving it a three. Quite crowded on a Friday night with the Gophers Bowl Game going on. Not an empty seat in the house. Place is not very large. Maximum occupancy of 190 per the sign by the door. Got seated at a high top right next to the open kitchen and pull tab machine. No luck on the tabs tonight. Bummer. Got my girly drink fix with a couple Blackberry Margaritas. All drinks are $ 1.25 off during happy hour from 3 – 6.
No complimentary chips and salsa is kind of lame. Instead, they give you free propcorn which is nothing special. Had to get the Walleye enchiladas for dinner. Only in Minnesota, right? Given a recent experience with what was believed to be Zander masquerading as Walleye, it is SOP to ask the server if the Walleye is really Walleye. Asked our server if the Walleye in the enchiladas was Walleye or Zander, and he tilted his head and gave us a quizzical look like my pug gives me from time to time. Not sure if he misunderstood me or if he didn’t understand the question. He replied, «we have a clean kitchen». Ummm… OK, whatever that means.
Rest easy, my dining companions were certain it was walleye. Honestly, I don’t think I could tell the difference as I have walleye so seldom. The cheese sauce that they had on it was tasty for me, but not enough of it on there. Rice and beans that it came with were pretty standard, except the fried rice had eggs in it which I have not seen before at a Mexican restaurant.
If you are not a fan of modern county music, this might not be the place for you. Every song they played seemed like it could have been off of the current K102 playlist. No jukebox that I could see. I like old-​timey country music and am OK with modern country, so it didn’t bother me too much. «Wasting All These Tears», «That’s My Kind of Night», and «I Love this Bar» are a few of the songs we were treated to. Right now, I like Me & Julio. Maybe if I get to know them better, it could be a love type thing.

We were getting ready to take a trip down the Great River Road and needed a bite to eat. This place got a few good reviews so we decided to give it a try.
First off, the service was incredible. The hostess sat us quickly and our waitress quickly followed. She was an awesome waitress. My co-traveler’s phone was dying and he needed a charger. He asked the waitress who said she would check around for one. Although she didn’t find one, I think she asked every worker there to try and find one.
Secondly, I was torn between fajitas and the chicken tortilla soup. She said both were really good, but steered me towards the fajita. When our food came out, she had put a little tortilla soup in a sauce cup, just so I could try it. I didn’t even ask! That’s the kind of service that makes me want to return to a restaurant. It cost them next to nothing and is the main reason I’m taking the time to write this review.
And as she said, both the fajitas and soup were really good. The fajitas were not like your typical fajita. What was different is that the season chicken breast was sliced and layers over the onions. It was nice because you could actually taste the chicken, not soaked and over-​whelmed by sauce, peppers, and onions.
My father-​in-​law had a Bloody Mary that he said was very good. It looked good to me, with cheese, sausage, etc. it came with a beer chaser.
The flour tortillas were home made and were pretty darn good. Portions were plenty, but not necessarily huge. I ordered ½ LB fajitas, which were $ 9.99 and came with rice and house made mexican fried rice. My father-​in-​law ordered walleye puffy tacos, which were around $ 12 and came with one side.
Overall, we were both very pleased with our meals, liked the atmosphere (especially the bathroom labels!), and loved our waitress. Would happily return next time we’re in Hastings, MN.

Based on the number of highly rated reviews I thought it was worth giving this place a shot, I spend a lot of time in Hastings and a quality restaurant is always worthwhile. In all honesty, I have no idea how they achieved such high reviews. The food was okay and a fair value, though they were absolutely ginormous portion sizes. The person who complained that the portions were to small for the price is out of his mind, the portions were as big as my face. The Bloody Marys (we were there for brunch) were fabulous, made with homemade horseradish vodka and the fact that they were served with little Coronita bottles is pretty cute. The ambience was cheesy and slightly offensive, the bathrooms are labeled «Pistols» and «Holsters.» Seriously.
Not a bad place, but overall not worth going back. And really, it was all the little stuff… a locked door when we arrived for brunch, every plate on our table missing one key ingredient in the dish, corn tortillas that definitely had flour in them, and of course the aforementioned «Pistols» and «Holsters»…
Is it bad? No. Is it worth going out of your way to try? No.
But if you do find yourself at Me & Julio’s, give the Walleye tacos a shot. They’re super tasty and only as big as half your face.

As a native Texas, I always get nervous when trying Mexican food in the Midwest. I get extra nervous when a restaurant purports to be «Tex-​Mex.» All too often a Minnesotan’s idea of Mexican is to take a tortilla, slap some meat together with some bulk purchased salsa and Velveeta and call it dinner. That said, Me and Julio nailed it.
The food was great. The salsa was clearly handmade and fresh. The beans were flavorful. Nothing was too spicy, so my friends who like hockey and Canadian beer were happy. But the food was great, service was awesome, and they had some good local beers on tap. Win win win.

I love this p lace and I would love to come here more often but I am not interested in the bar. I come for the food and the food either needs to be bigger servings or a little cheaper. I am not spending almost 10 bucks on a cheeseburger when there are 4 places in town to get a great burger for 7 bucks.
Those walleye taquitos rocked but again 9 dollars for 4 taquitos was a bit pricey.
