Many moons ago, I was really sad when Justin’s closed on Southport in the Lakeview neighborhood. It held a ton of memories that I cherish from my first few years in the city. Tuco & Blondie came in behind Justin’s and I could not have imagined a better spot to replace it. As soon as you step foot inside, the vibe is apparent. It is fun and playful with a “Mexifun” sign and a piñata room. They also have a great patio as well!


We started with the strawberry margaritas. I usually lean towards frozen margaritas, but this one was absolutely delicious! We got the queso to start and highly recommend. One of their top dishes is their fajitas. I got the steak ones and they do taste as good as they look!


The steak fajitas were practically free with our Dine It 4ward culinary guide. You can grab yours to support After School Matters by using the code ASM20. You will get the guide for only $39.
Southport Corridor is a great place to make a day of it. Just steps away from Tuco & Blondie is Aura Candle Bar. Learn more about my visit here.
