    Really a 3.5 the food was so expensive $40 for 4 tacos and a marg The flavor was mid very salty .. both the chicken and steak but it was ok the mezcal marg was cool for a hot day but the price is a lot I grabbed food here omw to the greyhound and walked to the station They are crowded around lunch minimal parking able indoor seating

    The people there were nice but the food was too expensive and doesn't really taste good. The tamales seemed old and tacos had too much fat in it and that doesn't really give the Mexican flavor. This place is like Mexican style but mixed with American ingredients. But I like the horchatas it was fresh and tasty.

    Came here on a Monday evening and ordered at one of the tablets inside. Got two tacos, with a side of beans and rice and a horchata. Waited a bit for my food, then they gave me my plate. They don't check if you ordered drinks so you have to ask for a cup or go to the bar if you ordered an alcoholic beverage. The horchata is self serve. Ate outside since it was a nice day. Came out to like $20. They don't skimp out on the meat in the tacos and they're a pretty good size. The rice and beans were fine and the horchata was good.

    I had the Pastor taco with corn tortillas and the chorizo and egg taco with flour tortillas. Both were delicious. The service is prompt and cheerful. The location has a corner entrance with tile floors and a large cooking area where you place your order.

    3.5 stars. Tacos were a little pricey given the size. The place was clean and service was good. Somehow my tacos weren't that hot when I go them. They were sort of like warm which was pretty disappointing. The Campenchero taco was my favourite. It was steak and chorizo. Don't be a gringo stupido and get tacos with anything other than cilantro and onions.

    I ordered Arrachera, Chorizo and Egg, and Pastor tacos. Meats were all tender and flavorful. I was surprised that the eggs weren't dry and it was a delicious combination with the chorizo. Chips and corn tortillas were legit. Excellent taco shop conveniently located near the Union Station. Tacos are pricey but the size and quality are arguably reasonable. Good amount of seating inside. No issues with service.

    Taco Lulu is a solid spot if you're looking for quick margaritas, an affordable meal or just a place to meet your coworkers! Their frozen margaritas are refreshing, and a nice bonus is the free chips if you check in on Yelp. The vibe is very casual and service was fine. While it's nothing fancy, it hits the spot for quick eats and drinks! -AT

    The tacos were great. I recommend ordering online and doing pickup as it can get busy during lunch. They have a big dining area and patio in case you do want to eat there. Tacos are a bit pricey.

    Stumbled on this gem while rushing to an appointment. I pulled over because there happened to be a parking space out front and I was starving. These were some of the best tacos! I was able to order from iPad-sized kiosks on the counter. I opted for steak tacos the way I like them, and added rice since I saw the option. These were absolutely delicious. I rushed to eat them before my kid got in the car cus...kids, right? I can't wait to go back and savor the flavor!

    I have passed by this place a few times within this month. So yesterday when my mom and I passed by we just so happened to find a parking spot! Scoreeee! We went in... Taco Lulu's was jumping! We came around lunch time so it was soo busy and they also had a big delivery headed out too. They make your order fast! It's a no frills joint but they do it right!!! You go to cashier place your order and wait for them to call your number. After your number is called and you get your food then you head over to the other side to be seated. My mom and I wanted Enchiladas with mole sauce but they didn't carry it. We were bummed a little but Taco Lulu has burritos, tacos, fajitas, nachos etc. Tangent..Someone walked past me after I ordered with the most delicious looking chicken taco salad that have seen in a minute!!! So anyway we each ordered Steak Nachos with everything add guacamole and a peach margarita on the rocks. It was very affordable! I was bummed when the cashier said that they didn't use Chihuahua cheese for the nachos but ordered anyway and was surprised at how good it was. My mom thought the margarita was too sweet and the nice owner brought her another on the house. I enjoyed mine. It could have a splash more alcohol but it was a nice size about 10-12 ounces for $11! That's a steal of a deal! My nachos were massive and well executed. The queso sauce that was used was very tasty. It didn't have that cheap velveeta flavor at all. I noticed the tacos looked very fresh and delicious as well. I met the owner Mike who was there bussing tables, making margaritas and being very polite. He said he named his restaurant after his cute dog Lulu! So precious! I will totally return!!! **each table had green and red salsa that was just taken out of the fridge. I could tell because the bottles were cold. I appreciate that extra step! Plenty of places just let the salsa sit out, never refrigerate and become a cess pool!

    We ordered catering for lunch and it was a big hit. They packaged everything nicely. They came right on time and were super nice. Everything tasted yummy and the team was happy with the order.

    Jazmine P.

    Food was really good and flavorful! Those steak tacos were the star of the show. Margs were flavorful, and we had the $10 shots! Great place for happy hour or to just get your taco fix. Staff were very welcoming and friendly, I even met the dog the restaurant is named after, how cool!!

    I was underwhelmed by the restaurant. Service was quick, ambiance is casual, but the food was a little too salty for my liking.

It was no wonder when we arrived that there was a line out the door. We waited around 45 minutes, and the bouncer was a really nice fellow who kept track of the numbers and people at the door. Upon entering, we were immersed in a dimly lit retro-style lounge. It was quite loud inside and packed as we walked to our seats. The server was great at taking our orders and offering suggestions. I opted for the French 75, which featured sparkling wine and mixed gin, brandies, and citrus. The drink was delicious, but STRONG. I don't know what they put in the cocktails in America, but I am always finished after one drink. Needless to say, we were all struggling to finish our own drinks. My favourite touch was the coasters, I ended up keeping all of them so that I can reuse them at my galentines event next year. The 'bisous' with the kiss on the other side is a perfect touch! I think the drinks are fairly priced for USD. I would love to return someday to try other drinks and bar bites, and also try their sister bar, Sparrow.

Imagine my shock when we didn't even make it past the bouncer because he was so rude, AS OTHER RECENT REVIEWS HAVE MENTIONED AS WELL! We had dinner nearby and walked to Bisous after, and saw there was a line of 5 or 6 people outside. We expected this as we knew Bisous is a first come, first serve bar. We were curious what the wait time would look like, so we approached the front door to ask a host or employee inside (we assumed there'd be a desk with an employee working it who could give us a wait time). We had no problem waiting, just wanted to see how long they estimated it would be! Before we could even fully open the door, the bouncer swung the door open from the other side and hit me with the door. I stumbled back a few steps and he looked at us and said, and I quote, "What do you want?". I laughed at first because I thought he was joking and putting on a tough guy act. He was not. We quickly explained we just wanted to see what the wait time was, and he said "don't you see there's a line outside?" We said yes, and explained we just wanted to know a rough estimated wait time. He just blankly stared at us while ushering us out. Both my boyfriend and I have worked in customer-service roles for a very, very long time. This encounter was not only extremely rude and unprofessional, but he also hit me hard enough with the door to send me stumbling back, and then said nothing about it and continued to address us in a tone that was nothing less than annoyed and irritated. We didn't end up going inside because that encounter left such a bad taste in our mouths. I don't believe in spending my money at establishments that don't treat their customers with the bare minimum respect they deserve! Bummed we didn't get to experience it, as I'm sure it was lovely inside and I can only hope the rest of the employees were much more kind and accommodating, or at least able to answer a simple question. Fire your "bouncer" (??) and hire someone with some basic customer service and communication skills!!

We watched our waitress make multiple attempts to pick up my husband's drink from the bar, spill, set it down, pick it back up and spill more, and finally give up and run it to us. As she set down this sticky, wet, under-filled mess, I asked her exactly how much of my husband's $16 cocktail she had just spilled. She said, "Yeah, the bartender over-poured," and walked off. We then watched her do the exact same thing to every mixed drink she ran. Way, way too expensive to be delivering messy, dripping, quarter-empty cocktails.

The absinthe mist, despite being just that, has a way of doing that. I want to give some credit to the service. While the bar was shorthanded at the time, the barman on duty did his very best as a one-man show. Can't fault them too much, someone calls out sick last minute, and that's that. However, if there is something I can hold against them it's the heat! I'm not sure why, but the upon coming in, the place was HOT! After settling in, it became more bearable, but this is the kind of thing that sometimes persuades me to leave before I order anything.
