Bar Tulio's is our go to Mexican restaurant when we're in Midtown! We are big fans of this franchise and visit the Fort Lauderdale location often as we live very close to it. The Executive Chef Tulio is amazing!! He always takes the time to come out and talk to his guests and ask them how the food is. Same thing with Brian, the owner. These two are so professional and really care about their food, staff and patrons! Bar Tulio's is a must visit when in Miami. Get the loaded nachos or the birria tacos :)
